She waved the two tickets in her hand at Jiang Xu, “Xiaoya sister gave them to
me, they’re tickets for Xu Gao’s concert tonight, let’s go together.”
Jiang Xu knew that An Nuonuo really liked Xu Gao’s songs.
He nodded with a smile, “Sure, let’s go after we’ve eaten at the cafeteria.”
“Okay-”
After dinner, they got into an MVP luxury car that Jiang Xu had recently bought
and modified.
The tires, body, glass, and chassis were all bulletproof.
There were curtains separating the front and rear seats.
No matter what was said or done in the back, you couldn’t hear it in the driver’s
cabin.
Jiang Xu took out two thin-looking vests from the armrest box.
He gave one to An Nuonuo, “Put this on.
“It’s not cold today,” An Nuonuo was puzzled.
Jiang Xu explained, “This is custom made; it’s waterproof, fireproof, and it’s
very difficult for a dagger to penetrate.
Safety comes first, you can’t take it lightly.
Jiang Xu didn’t want to dampen An Nuonuo’s excitement, having agreed to go with her to the concert.
But necessary safety precautions still had to be taken.
“Oh-”
Having heard the explanation, An Nuonuo obediently put it on.
When they arrived at the concert venue, it was packed with people.
Jiang Xu couldn’t be bothered to queue, so he pulled An Nuonuo to the very
front.
He gave a guy a thousand yuan and cut in line.
The seats Bai Xiaoya had given were the best.
First row, right in the middle.
People were already seated to the left, right, front, and back of the two seats.
His bodyguards also bought tickets from the audience outside at a high price to get in.
Then Jiang Xu paid twenty times the market price to swap seats with people around him and the seats the bodyguards bought.
Although it seemed cowardly, there was no other way.
After all, Jiang Xu didn’t have the kind of system or grandfather character you find in novels.
If something happened to him, that would be it.
The concert began.
When Xu Gao appeared, he caused a tsunami of cheering.
An Nuonuo was also waving her glow stick vigorously.
Xu Gao’s songs accompanied many people through their junior and senior high school years.
And now that many of his fans had grown up and started working, they naturally had the means to support his concert.
The first song was his hit single.
Yeah, he was just like Teacher Wu.
He only started off, and afterwards, the fans did all the singing.
Xu Gao, “See, making money is just that simple.”
Jiang Xu, meanwhile, surveyed the entire venue.
What he focused on most were the fire exits and several entrances and exits.
As someone with a strong sense of paranoia,
whenever he went to any unfamiliar place, the first thing to consider was which direction to run in case of danger.
It was just like Han Paopao, when it comes to running, I’m a professional.
On stage, Xu Gao sang one song after another.
The atmosphere at the scene gradually climaxed.
“Zzzzz…”
But just then, sparks began to shoot out from the lights overhead, flickering persistently.
They then quickly caught fire.
All the people instinctively looked up.
Immediately, screams filled the air.
“Ah, there’s a fire!”
“Run for it!”
“Move, move, move, don’t listen anymore!”
The moment the incident happened, Jiang Xu pulled An Nuonuo and rushed towards the direction of the fire exit.
Everyone else was heading towards the normal exit, which in an instant became so congested that it was impassable.
The numerous bodyguards quickly followed behind them.
Soon, Jiang Xu and his group had all run outside.
By that point, the inside was a blaze of fire with billowing smoke.
An Nuonuo covered her little mouth, “Oh my God, there are still so many people inside.”
She hurried to call the police.
Jiang Xu looked inside, his expression changing unpredictably.
When he had run out just before, he had seen several children get separated from their parents in the panic.
He gritted his teeth.
Jiang Xu grabbed a helmet from an electric scooter on the roadside and put it
on.
Then he ran to a nearby shop, grabbed several buckets of purified water, and drenched himself.
He took a mask out of his pocket, wetted it, and put it on.
To the numerous bodyguards, he said, “Keep an eye on your lady boss, don’t let her come in!”
After that, he charged in.
As much as he feared death, Jiang Xu still wanted to make an effort when faced with such a situation.
An Nuonuo’s heart clenched abruptly.
She subconsciously wanted to rush in.
But reason told her she couldn’t do that.
If she followed him in at this time, she would only become a burden.
Her mind recalled lessons from the past, when her teachers had told her what to do in case of a fire.
She immediately instructed the many bodyguards, “Form teams of five, go to each exit, and evacuate the crowd.”
Having said that, she herself rushed toward the nearest exit first. The many bodyguards didn’t have time to think and simply followed her instructions.
“Mommy-”
“Daddy- Wuuu~”
The fire escape was now also packed with people.
Jiang Xu squeezed in with difficulty, and saw several children, crying helplessly.
He rushed over and picked up two of the younger ones to get outside.
The fire was getting fiercer, with thick smoke billowing, and visibility had been greatly reduced.
After getting the two children out, Jiang Xu went back again.
After six back and forth trips, both his clothes and mask were dry.
He was also alarmingly exhausted.
“Bang bang bang…”
When Jiang Xu charged in again, several iron frames had collapsed.
He rapidly scanned his surroundings.
For some reason, the speed at which the crowd was being evacuated had suddenly increased.
Jiang Xu didn’t have time to consider why.
In the distance, a little girl about seven or eight years old had already fainted from the smoke inhalation.
A huge iron frame came crashing down, just missing the little girl by an inch.
“Cough cough cough…”
Jiang Xu coughed violently, his head spinning.
He was nearing his limit.
But ultimately, he gritted his teeth and rushed over with all his might.
Picking up the little girl, he staggered outside.
Behind him came the continuous sound of heavy objects collapsing and the surging flames rushing forward.
Jiang Xu felt as if he was racing against death.
At that moment, his adrenaline was fully triggered, making his speed unbelievably fast.
Just a second before being engulfed by the flames, he leapt out.
Midair, he turned, and his whole body smashed harshly onto the ground.
But the child was unharmed.
Jiang Xu grimaced in pain.
His entire back was terribly sore, and he couldn’t move, uncertain if any bones were broken.
Damn it, he would never play the hero again; it was just too dangerous.
While all of this might sound long-winded, in reality, it all happened in less than ten minutes.
The fire trucks and ambulances arrived, and Jiang Xu finally let out a sigh of relief.
An Nuonuo had run over at some point.
Seeing Jiang Xu like this, tears streamed uncontrollably down her face.
Jiang Xu forced a smile, “I’m fine, I’m not hurt, just a bit tired…”
As he spoke, his eyelids fought a battle, and then his consciousness sank into darkness.
