122: Chapter 122 Danger? That's all?

From the very beginning, Lin Chuge had sensed that something was off about her seating location; the people sitting on both sides of her were all elderly.

She had initially assumed that placing her and these various leaders in the best seats was a deliberate show of respect.

Now, however, it seemed the purpose went beyond that.

When the flames began to spread, these elderly people moved very slowly.

Coupled with the crowd blocking the way behind them, and the fact that they were in the position closest to the flames, they were completely unable to move in their panic.

Watching the flames surge from the center, heading straight for Lin Chuge's location.

A gasp rang out from the stage.

"Chuge! Look out!"

It was Feng Rui.

Immediately after, Feng Rui jumped off the stage and ran toward them.

According to her plan, as long as she injured a hand while saving Lin Chuge, she could rightfully end her career.

She could then comfortably serve as Lin Chuge's savior, obtain enough money for a heart transplant, and spend the rest of her life in ease.

"Ah, Feng Rui, where are you going?"

"Feng Rui, are you crazy!"

"..."

The other performers behind her clearly hadn't expected Feng Rui to run inward instead of fleeing immediately, and they cried out in alarm.

The entire Concert Hall had lost power; in the pitch darkness, only the flames emitted light.

And Feng Rui stood there in the firelight, wearing a look of righteous indignation, a poignant smile playing on her lips. "That is my best friend; I must save her!"

Everyone present was stunned by Feng Rui's actions!

That slender figure had become a hero in the eyes of everyone!

What a touching friendship this was!

To risk one's own life for another!

It was enough to make anyone who saw it grieve, and anyone who heard of it weep!

However, that was only assuming she could actually save Lin Chuge.

And how could Lin Xiao possibly let her get her way?

"Don't panic!"

Lin Xiao shouted loudly.

He then pulled a fire extinguisher from the large backpack at his feet and shoved it into Lin Chuge's hands.

Lin Chuge stared at the fire extinguisher, completely bewildered.

Wait, what?

A fire extinguisher?

In the emergency, she didn't have time to ask questions; she quickly activated the extinguisher and sprayed the surrounding flames.

But a fire of this magnitude could hardly be quelled by a small extinguisher.

Just as Lin Chuge was trying to crawl out from behind the seats to spray a path for everyone, a massive sound of rushing water caught everyone's attention!

Lin Xiao was actually shouldering two fire hoses, spraying wildly at the source of the fire!

Everyone present was even more bewildered.

Seriously?

Fire hoses?

Did this guy carry a fire hydrant around with him?

That was naturally impossible...

The fire hoses were connected to the fire hydrants on both sides of the Concert Hall.

Lin Xiao had contacted the security guards here from the very beginning. Back when the second half of the performance was underway, he had already connected the fire hoses and had them delivered silently.

As soon as the fire started, they went straight to open the valves.

At this moment, Lin Xiao seemed like a god descending from the heavens, saving everyone from the fire!

Perhaps because the water pressure was too high, Lin Xiao couldn't hold onto them for long.

The water jet on one side began to shake and spray erratically.

As luck would have it, it aimed straight at a bewildered Feng Rui.

Blasting her several meters away...

"Oh? Sorry, sorry!"

Lin Xiao said this, but there wasn't a hint of apology on his face.

The fire had been brought under control. Seeing that Lin Xiao really couldn't manage both hoses, the security guard temporarily shut one of them off.

Feng Rui was finally able to slowly crawl up from a large puddle of water.

Her already confused head felt like it had been flooded; she stood there in a wretched state.

She was soaked through, her dress clinging tightly to her body.

Even though everyone tried their best not to peek at her private areas, certain parts were just too obvious; it was hard not to see them.

"Ahem, is she not wearing a bra?"

"What dark strawberries..."

"Forgive me, forgive me!"

"..."

About five minutes later, the fire was completely extinguished.

Firefighters and police also arrived on the scene to conduct a series of inspections to prevent the fire from reigniting.

The audience was evacuated, leaving only the relevant personnel behind.

This included Lin Chuge, who was holding the fire extinguisher, and Lin Xiao, who was carrying the fire hoses.

As well as the soaking wet Feng Rui, who was draped in a blanket.

The Concert Hall manager also rushed over; seeing the scene before him, it took a long time for him to collect his thoughts.

"Wait, why do you carry a fire extinguisher with you? And since when can these fire hoses be pulled this far?"

As for excuses for these questions, Lin Xiao hadn't really thought of any.

He just grinned, smiling without saying a word.

In his heart, he was still happy about solving the problem and teaching Feng Rui a lesson!

In contrast to him was Feng Rui.

As if her soul had been drained away, she still couldn't understand how her perfectly good plan had turned out like this.

Lin Chuge remained calm and composed, leaning against her chair with an expressionless face, her aura like that of a queen, unwilling to offer any response.

In fact, Lin Chuge had known all along that Lin Xiao was prepared; she had seen him go to find the security guards earlier and give them some money.

She just hadn't expected Lin Xiao to cause such a huge commotion so quietly.

It had to be said, the utility of a Superpower was still quite significant!

Furthermore, she hadn't expected Feng Rui to be so crazy this time, disregarding the lives of so many people for the sake of a so-called "life-saving favor"!

After the police finished inspecting the scene, they came to the lounge area and saw the few people, each with a different expression.

One was grinning, one was not grinning, and one was expressionless.

The police officer pointed at the one who was grinning and said coldly, "You, come back with me to assist with the investigation!"

Lin Xiao pointed at himself, bewildered.

"Me?"
