Chapter 738: Chapter 0738: Wu Mei Goes Upstairs
"Whoosh!"
Ye Xunhuan pushed off the ground, and like a specter, he immediately rushed towards Antonio with a howling sound.
In the blink of an eye, Ye Xunhuan was in front of Antonio. His entire being was like a dragon emerging from water, as he swung his longsword towards Antonio with a roaring slash.
At this moment, Ye Xunhuan chose to engage in close-quarters combat with Antonio!
Antonio was a Superpower User; if they fought at a distance, Ye Xunhuan would hardly gain any advantage, but in close combat, Antonio wouldn’t have any chance to use his abilities. This way, Ye Xunhuan’s odds of winning would be much greater.
Antonio immediately saw through Ye Xunhuan’s innermost thoughts, but now he had no way to increase the distance between them.
At this moment, Ye Xunhuan was already in front of him, with his sharp blade slashing down.
Having no choice, Antonio could only raise his fiery meteor to engage in close-quarters combat with Ye Xunhuan.
As the blade and sword clashed, not only did they produce a crisp ringing sound, but also sparks flew with every collision!
This moment, both Ye Xunhuan and Antonio fully unleashed their astonishing speed.
However, as the fight went on, Antonio felt increasingly anxious; he had just been severely injured by Ye Xunhuan’s Destiny Sword, and now he was fighting with injuries.
It was manageable for a short while, but as time went on, Antonio clearly began to feel overwhelmed.
Not only was Antonio anxious, but Qiu Ruoxi downstairs was also burning with anxiety.
Ye Xunhuan had been up there for a long time, but there was still no sign of him coming out, and no one knew what the situation was inside.
The only certainty was that the firefighters had not yet extinguished the sudden fire; it was still billowing with smoke.
At this moment, Qiu Ruoxi paced back and forth nonstop, her pale jade hands tightly clenched together. Without realizing it, she had already broken out in a cold sweat, and the concern on her face was not at all concealed.
Not just Qiu Ruoxi was filled with worry and unease—so was Qin Muge, her heart completely in her throat.
Ye Xunhuan had been in there for too long without any sign of coming out. What could he have encountered inside?
Was it possible that he had encountered danger and was trapped by the fire, unable to escape?
Even though Qin Muge had seen Ye Xunhuan’s skills, killing people was one thing—this was a blazing fire, even more frightening than any person.
Just as Qin Muge and Qiu Ruoxi were fraught with anxiety, the sound of police sirens immediately filled the surroundings.
The next moment, dozens of police cars stopped around the area, and the officers quickly approached the crowd.
By now, the surrounding crowd had grown bigger and bigger, and some had even captured footage of the fire and posted it online, sparking discussions among the night owls.
Wang Shengli and Wu Mei approached with serious expressions, leading the police through the crowd.
Upon seeing the anxious Qiu Ruoxi, Wang Shengli and Wu Mei immediately walked over to her!
"Miss Qiu..."
Qiu Ruoxi glanced at Wang Shengli and nodded absently.
Wu Mei looked around, and when she couldn’t see Ye Xunhuan, she couldn’t help but ask, "Miss Qiu, where is Mr. Ye?"
With such a big incident happening at Huangtu Corporation, everyone in the Jiangzhong City establishment had been alerted. Ye Xunhuan couldn’t possibly not be here, right?
After all, Ye Xunhuan was Qiu Ruoxi’s husband.
"He went up there, and he still hasn’t come out until now; I don’t even know how he’s doing..."
As she spoke, Qiu Ruoxi’s hands clenched tightly together, and the nervous and uneasy expression on her face became increasingly intense.
As time passed, the longer Ye Xunhuan failed to appear, the more anxious Qiu Ruoxi felt inside.
She truly cared about Ye Xunhuan, fretting over him in her heart. Even now, an absurd thought occasionally popped into Qiu Ruoxi’s mind.
That was, if Ye Xunhuan were to die, what should she do?
At this moment, Ye Xunhuan seemed to have become Qiu Ruoxi’s spiritual pillar, almost like her faith! 𝔫𝖔𝔳𝔭𝔲𝔟.𝖈𝔬𝔪
Upon hearing Qiu Ruoxi say that Ye Xunhuan had gone up, Wu Mei’s face changed slightly, and she said to Qiu Ruoxi, "Miss Qiu, don’t worry too much. Mr. Ye won’t have any problems!"
"I’ll go up and take a look!"
As she said this, Wu Mei moved toward the center of the fire and into the Huangtu Group building.
Seeing Wu Mei head towards the upstairs, Wang Shengli hurriedly called out, "Wu Mei..."
"Chief, it’s fine, trust me. I’m just going up to take a look!" Wu Mei said firmly, looking at Wang Shengli.
Feeling the determination in Wu Mei’s gaze, Wang Shengli nodded helplessly.
Although he didn’t want to let Wu Mei take the risk, since up there was a blazing fire and the fire seemed very fierce, if anything happened to Wu Mei, he, Wang Shengli, could guarantee his own official cap would surely be at risk.
But he was also clear in his heart that he couldn’t stop Wu Mei from going up.
Helplessly, Wang Shengli could only agree, "Be careful!"
Without a word, Wu Mei turned and headed upstairs.
Wu Mei would never believe that Ye Xunhuan was trapped upstairs. After all, he was a marshal; if a mere fire could restrain one of the underworld’s ten tyrants, then one would have to question just how much might this tyrant actually possessed.
If Ye Xunhuan had not come down from upstairs, it wasn’t because he was trapped by the fire, there was only one possibility left.
That was that Ye Xunhuan had encountered trouble, danger, upstairs; otherwise, he would have come down long ago.
It had to be admitted, Wu Mei’s guess was correct; a mere fire really couldn’t restrain Ye Xunhuan, who was right now facing Antonio.
And the fight between the two had reached a critical juncture, intense and fiery.
If Ye Xunhuan could kill Antonio today, he would certainly not let him escape. If this man could make a comeback once, he could do it a second time.
To let him live would only be a scourge, a grave menace. Therefore, it was better to kill him off.
But killing Antonio was not that easy, even a heavily injured Antonio wasn’t one to be killed just because one wished to!
Since Wu Mei was a police officer, she faced no obstructions along the way. As soon as she reached the upstairs, she immediately felt a burning sensation attack her, causing a cold sweat to form on her forehead.
The thick smoke made it impossible for Wu Mei to see clearly inside, forcing her to brave her way in.
The moment she entered the warehouse, Wu Mei couldn’t help but cough, but in the next instant, she heard a series of crisp sounds ringing in her ears!
