The Lady of the Prestigious Family is a Big Boss-Chapter 150, The Unrivaled Fifth Master Also Asks for Help (First Update)
"Clang clang."
The wooden roof made a muffled sound, passing through the noisy commotion and reaching Li Mochan’s ears.
He squinted at the ceiling. Black smoke swirled around, and it was night, making it hard to see clearly.
"Master."
Wei Nan rushed over, and seeing the fire with its "fangs and claws" outstretched, he felt a shock in his heart.
Could it be that Ye Jiuliang was trapped inside?
The next second, Baona’s voice, filled with sobs, confirmed his guess.
"Our boss is still inside, save her quickly."
Upon hearing this, Xiang Tian and others had grave expressions and hurried to fetch the hose to help put out the fire.
"Whoosh—"
The water splashed, but the fire showed no signs of dying down.
Upon receiving the news, the resort staff all rushed to the scene, and the fire brigade arrived at high speed.
"Wei Nan, find a ladder and bring it here, immediately," Li Mochan said, his gaze still fixed on the roof. He listened carefully, and the "clang clang" noise became even clearer.
Upon hearing this, Wei Nan didn’t ask any questions and turned to the firefighters for a ladder.
"Mr. Li, the fire is too intense here. You should stay back," said a senior executive of the resort, who had rushed here non-stop upon hearing that Li Mochan was present.
This was the Crown Prince of the Li family from the capital. If anything happened to him here, Old Master Li would surely skin them alive.
Li Mochan’s eyes were bloodshot, and his whole body radiated a low air pressure. "Get lost."
Facing his ghostly gaze, the group of executives felt a chill in their hearts and retreated, moving more out of instinct than reason.
Too terrifying to provoke.
"Master, the ladder is here." Wei Nan found a ladder. No sooner had he finished speaking than it was snatched from his hands.
Li Mochan leaned the ladder against the warehouse wall and climbed up amid the raging fire without a second thought.
"Master."
"Mr. Li."
Everyone watching was scared out of their wits.
If something happened to this man, none of them could bear the responsibility.
Huge sprays of water shot from all around. Li Mochan was drenched, and panic and fear showed through his eyes hidden beneath wet locks of hair.
The man who used to fear nothing tasted fear for the first time.
Worried that his little wolf pup might get hurt, that he may never see her again.
"Ye Jiuliang, Ye Jiuliang..." He followed the "clang clang" sound coming from the roof, screaming her name like a madman.
But the sound of knocking against the roof gradually weakened.
Having been choked by the dense smoke inside for a long time, even if Ye Jiuliang was made of iron, she was still only human and would eventually run out of strength.
Her actions of knocking on the roof slowed down, her hands going weak, gradually losing power.
Suddenly, that low-pitched voice came through the small gap smashed in the roof.
Unable to hold on to the hammer any longer, it slipped from her grip and plummeted straight down, crashing heavily onto the floor.
She squinted her eyes, the heavy smoke turning her eyes slightly red and misty.
Hearing the urgency in the man’s voice, Ye Jiuliang mustered the energy to respond, "Li Mochan!"
Her weak voice drifted out with the smoke, causing a sharp pain in Li Mochan’s heart.
He turned his head to look below and roared, losing all sense of reason, "Wei Nan, tear off the roof for me."
His wolf pup was inside, she was inside.
Wei Nan instantly grasped his meaning and directed the rescue team to start sawing through the wooden roof beams.
Knowing the situation was urgent, the upper echelons of City A, upon learning that Li Mochan was there, hastily sent a bunch of rescuers over.
Fortunately, the warehouse roof was not large, and the fire was gradually brought under control; the rescue team quickly cut through the designated spot where the wood had been blackened by smoke.
A square hole appeared, and thick smoke billowed out from inside.
As the cold wind dispersed the smoke, a small, bloodstained hand reached out, leaving the rescue personnel stunned.
Joy lit up Li Mochan’s eyes as Leng Ruyu’s large hand firmly grasped the bloodied small hand.
He looked down to see the girl’s beautiful face unnaturally pale, her watery eyes misty, making his heart wrench with pain.
"Wolf cub."
He leaned down, placed his hands on her arms, and with a strong pull, yanked her out.
Ye Jiuliang leaned against his chest, her face showing a rare weakness.
"Li Mochan," she grasped his hand in return, her voice barely audible.
The girl’s curled lashes trembled lightly, and her obsidian-like eyes slowly closed.
"Ye Jiuliang, you’re not allowed to sleep; if you dare, I’ll smash all your motorcycles," Li Mochan panicked, his fierce tone carried a rare plea.
Everyone looked on speechless, watching the man who commanded the winds and clouds carefully cradling the girl in his arms, his stern brow and eyes filled with heartache.
The man’s anxious voice echoed in her ears, and Ye Jiuliang tried hard to open her eyes but couldn’t resist the overwhelming fatigue and weakness.
"Ye Jiuliang, wake up, don’t sleep, I beg you..." Seeing her close her eyes, Li Mochan’s dark pupils shrank as if the whole world were collapsing.
Having been by Li Mochan’s side for so many years, Wei Nan saw this side of Li Mochan for the first time.
Beyond shock, he realized more deeply how important Ye Jiuliang was to his master.
He snapped back to reality and quickly said, "Master, Miss Ye has inhaled too much smoke, we must hurry to the hospital for emergency treatment."
As the words fell, Li Mochan wrapped his arms around Ye Jiuliang’s waist and carried her down from the roof.
"Boss," Xiang Tian and others came around, seeing Ye Jiuliang’s feeble state, a group of grown men couldn’t help but get teary-eyed.
An ambulance was also ready on the side; from beginning to end, Li Mochan personally held Ye Jiuliang, not allowing others to touch her.
Wei Nan followed onto the ambulance, taking over the doctor’s work, treating Ye Jiuliang.
Moments later, when Xiang Tian and his crew arrived at the hospital, Li Mochan was already accompanying Ye Jiuliang into the emergency room.
"Xiang Tian, will the boss be okay?" Baona cried, her eyes red as she stared fixedly at the ER.
"No, the boss is a lucky person, surely nothing will happen," Xiang Tian reassured her, embracing her and patting her back.
...
"You’re saying Ajiu has been taken to the hospital?" Chu Chen sprung up from the sofa, his face dark and terrifying.
Yu Wei looked serious, "Our men went to check the resort and found a bunch of men in black dead. The warehouse caught fire, and Master Jiu was trapped inside. He’s now being taken for emergency treatment."
The anger in Chu Chen’s eyes churned, "Call Aqian, tell him to come here. I’ll go to the hospital first; if anything happens, call me."
"Yes."
Just as he took a step, he added, "Oh, and keep this from Anuo for now."
If Anuo knew, he would certainly rush over immediately. In the current situation, they were out in the open while the enemy was in the dark; caution was paramount.
"Understood."
**
Late at night, Ye Jiuliang was transferred back to the VIP ward.
In the empty corridor, Xiang Tian and his group waited outside the ward door, not daring to leave without knowing the condition of Ye Jiuliang.
At that moment, the door to the ward opened, and Wei Nan came out.
"How is it, how is our boss?" Lin Yan, closest to the door, asked anxiously as he came out.
