290: Tian Yuwei, feel free to slide down

Su Yue shook his head, "It's okay, I'll see if there's a way for us to get to the 21st floor to take shelter."

Now, outside their room, there were flames everywhere, and thick smoke was coming through the crack in the door. They couldn't stay here forever. To survive, they had to find a new way out as quickly as possible.

Police Officer on the other end of the phone naturally knew this, so he proactively said to Su Yue, "Don't worry, we've already sent people to rescue you, but it will take a little time."

Not to mention that the complex had already lost power, just the fact that there was a gas leak that caused a fire meant the elevators were no longer safe to use.

However, because the floor they were on was too high, they couldn't rescue them in a short amount of time.

While Su Yue was talking to Police Officer, Zhou Nan also realized that the most important thing right now was to survive. He no longer stood there in a daze like before but directly grabbed the quilt from the bed and used it to block the crack under the door.

Su Yue also walked to the window while on the phone and indeed saw the firefighters downstairs laying out an air cushion.

But the floor they were on was too high, and the air cushion couldn't be laid out that quickly.

Looking at the smoke that was spreading in even through the quilt, Zhou Nan felt a bit of despair in his heart.

The explosion just now was very loud. Even though the room was well-insulated, they could still hear the crackling sound of the flames rapidly burning.

The fire outside was too big, and there was still a risk of another explosion. If they couldn't get out of this room, they might really all die here today.

Even Tian Yuwei, who had been so scared she was almost out of her mind, sobered up quite a bit at this moment.

She looked at Su Yue, who had just hung up the phone, and asked anxiously, "Su Yue, we'll be okay, right?"

She had just managed to escape from the clutches of evil; she didn't want to die like this again.

Su Yue heard Tian Yuwei say this and saw her face full of worry, knowing she was scared.

He quickly comforted her, "It's okay, Police are already on their way to rescue us. Believe me, we'll be saved soon."

"But the smoke is too strong. We have to escape first."

If Su Yue were alone, he might try to rush directly out of the fire circle by himself; that would be much faster.

However, Tian Yuwei was still in front of him, and he couldn't take her into danger with him.

Zhou Nan couldn't bother with opposing Su Yue anymore. He asked, "What should we do? I'll listen to you now!"

Zhou Nan knew Su Yue was capable. At a moment when his life could be lost at any second, he didn't care if the person in front of him was his enemy; he just wanted to get out alive and safe.

Although Zhou Nan's voice was full of flattery, everything he said was exceptionally humble, as if he wished he could worship Su Yue like a deity.

However, when he spoke like that, it still made Tian Yuwei tremble with fear.

Su Yue, who had originally planned to take Zhou Nan with him, immediately became serious when he saw Tian Yuwei's face turn pale again from being scared by Zhou Nan.

He felt that the matter of saving Zhou Nan still needed consideration.

Zhou Nan naturally didn't miss the obvious disdain in Su Yue's eyes and instantly broke out in a cold sweat from nervousness.

He quickly took the initiative to apologize and explain to the two of them, "Yes, I'm sorry! I know what I did before wasn't what a human would do. If you want to get revenge on me later, I won't have any objections."

"But I still hope you can save me first. When that happens, I will definitely let you get revenge and won't have any opinions."

Zhou Nan heard from Su Yue's recent phone call that Su Yue had a strong background. The explosion had only happened a short while ago, but Police were already stationed below and promptly started the rescue.

This speed was simply too fast. Zhou Nan immediately felt that Su Yue's identity was not simple. At a time when his own life was already in the other person's hands, he naturally didn't dare to arrogantly offend the other party anymore.

Zhou Nan spoke exceptionally sincerely, but neither Su Yue nor Tian Yuwei paid him any mind.

Since Zhou Nan dared to repeatedly do such outrageous things to Tian Yuwei, Tian Yuwei naturally wouldn't easily forgive him because of his sweet talk.

As for Su Yue, he didn't take Zhou Nan to heart at all and didn't treat him as important.

Su Yue pulled Tian Yuwei and walked to the window. He said to her, "Tian Yuwei, I'll try to see if I can get to the 21st floor or the next apartment first. If I succeed in a bit, you follow."

While speaking, Su Yue pulled down the curtains from the wall.

Tian Yuwei saw that Su Yue was struggling a bit by himself and stepped forward to help.

Zhou Nan didn't want to be abandoned at this time, so he also proactively stepped forward to help. However, this time he was smarter and didn't dare to get too close to Tian Yuwei, afraid of scaring her again and making Su Yue truly hold a grudge against him.

With the three of them working together, the curtains were quickly pulled down.

After that, Su Yue quickly tore all the curtains into strips, tied them together, and made a huge rope.

This time, Su Yue didn't let Tian Yuwei help but worked with Zhou Nan instead.

Seeing that Zhou Nan seemed genuinely willing to listen to him, Su Yue quickly changed his original idea of just going ahead to scout the way by himself.

He said to Tian Yuwei, "Tian Yuwei, in a bit we'll tie the rope around your waist, and you just jump into the apartment next door like this."

As soon as he said this, it made Zhou Nan nervous. "Weren't you going to scout the way first? How could Tian Yuwei possibly kick open the door with her strength? What if she falls later? Are you sure you're not trying to harm her?"

And Tian Yuwei was also full of doubt about Su Yue's arrangement and was a little afraid of what would happen next.

"Su Yue, isn't this too dangerous? I'm a little scared..."

Tian Yuwei had filmed action scenes and used wires before, but this was different from walking a 'tightrope' directly now. If something went wrong this time, she wouldn't be the only one affected.

Therefore, Tian Yuwei didn't dare to joke around at this moment.

Compared to the two who were badly scared, Su Yue seemed very calm.

He said confidently, "Tian Yuwei, don't worry. Zhou Nan and I will be holding you; we absolutely won't let anything happen to you. Just try it with confidence."

Seeing the look of certainty on Su Yue's face, Tian Yuwei inexplicably felt a bit of confidence in her heart.

And when Zhou Nan heard Su Yue say he wanted him to help hold Tian Yuwei, he inexplicably understood why Su Yue had suddenly changed his mind.

Perhaps Su Yue was worried that while he was scouting the way alone, Zhou Nan might do something to Tian Yuwei upstairs.

Zhou Nan really wanted to explain to Su Yue that at a time like this, when his life could be lost at any moment, he definitely wouldn't be so brainless as to do anything stupid.

Now, he genuinely wanted to help them so that Su Yue would take him with him when he left. He truly didn't have any malicious intentions.

However, Zhou Nan had already explained before, but it was clear that neither Su Yue nor Tian Yuwei trusted him.

So, after hesitating for a while, Zhou Nan finally shut his mouth and didn't speak, letting Su Yue make the arrangements.

But no matter what, as long as he could cling to Su Yue's leg, it would be fine.

Su Yue persuaded her a few more times, and Tian Yuwei had also prepared herself mentally, nodding affirmatively.

"Alright, I'll go up and scout the way first."

Su Yue quickly tied the rope around Tian Yuwei.

Although she had prepared herself mentally, when Tian Yuwei actually stood by the window and was about to climb out, she was still so scared her voice trembled a little.

She stared at Su Yue in front of her without blinking, her voice trembling slightly, "Su, Su Yue, I... I'll be okay, right?"

Tian Yuwei was truly afraid that something would happen to her.

Just as Su Yue was about to comfort Tian Yuwei, suddenly another loud explosion rang out.

All three of them turned pale.

Tian Yuwei, whose face was completely drained of color from fear, swallowed hard, and finally said with trembling legs, "Su... Su Ge, I'm going down first."

Although Tian Yuwei was very scared, she knew even more that at this moment, every second wasted was draining their lives. Before the fire burned in, they still had hope of leaving here.

If she wasted any more time at this moment, it would only put Su Yue's life in danger.

Therefore, Tian Yuwei could only force herself to cheer up and try not to hold Su Yue back.

Indeed, just as Zhou Nan had guessed, Su Yue letting Tian Yuwei go down to scout the way by herself first was to guard against Zhou Nan; he truly didn't trust Zhou Nan.

However, seeing Tian Yuwei brace herself and climb out of the window cautiously with a pale face, he still hesitated a little.

He also didn't know if letting Tian Yuwei go out first like this was right or wrong.

However, thick smoke had already started to fill the room, and the crackling sound of the flames was getting louder and louder, giving the illusion that the wooden door blocking the raging fire could burn down at any moment.

It was also because of this that Su Yue felt his decision was not wrong.

Moreover, it was clearly unreliable for him to scout the way alone and then bring Tian Yuwei. It was better to let Tian Yuwei go first, so she would still have a chance to live.

And Zhou Nan was also scared so pale by the huge explosion that his teeth couldn't stop chattering up and down, and his grip on the curtains tightened more and more.

He was a little anxious, "Su Yue, we'll be able to get out alive and safe, right? Nothing will happen to us, right?"

Su Yue glanced at Zhou Nan and was a little surprised to see that he seemed genuinely badly scared.

However, he kindly explained, "Don't worry, we'll be fine."

It seemed that Su Yue's words had a calming effect on Zhou Nan. After Su Yue finished speaking, Zhou Nan actually calmed down.

He nodded affirmatively, "That's right, that's right, we can definitely get out alive and safe."

Suddenly, Zhou Nan's eyes narrowed, becoming extremely fierce. "Damn it, when I get out alive, I definitely won't let that bastard off. Damn him, how dare he set me up? I'll make sure he doesn't have an easy time!"

Su Yue subconsciously guessed that the person was Brother Fang, whom he had let go, and couldn't help but feel a little curious.

He pretended not to care and asked, "Oh? Who are you talking about? Who would dare to set you up?"

If Zhou Nan had calmed down, he would definitely have heard that Su Yue's words were actually full of sarcasm. However, at this moment, his nerves were tense, and he was having some difficulty breathing, so his reaction time was much slower.

When he heard Su Yue ask this, the first thought that popped into his mind was that he had actually gained Su Yue's approval, and therefore he could definitely get Su Yue to help him get out.

Therefore, he also didn't hesitate to tell Su Yue who the other person was.

"It's that man who brought you up. Someone introduced him to me and said he was ruthless. As long as I gave him enough money, he could do anything for me."

As he spoke, Zhou Nan glanced at Tian Yuwei, who was still slowly inching her way out of the window, and used his eyes to indicate what kind of agreement he and Brother Fang had reached.

Seeing Zhou Nan like this, Su Yue snorted disdainfully but didn't say much.

At least Zhou Nan now knew not to talk nonsense in front of Tian Yuwei and didn't provoke her further.

Otherwise, Su Yue couldn't guarantee that he wouldn't do something to Zhou Nan at this moment.

Zhou Nan probably also saw the hidden meaning in Su Yue's unspoken words and quickly expressed his sincerity to Su Yue with a smile.

"Su Ge, I truly know I was wrong now. You are a magnanimous person, please don't bother arguing with a petty person like me."

Zhou Nan had targeted Su Yue several times, but each time Su Yue turned danger into safety, and he could even say he personally witnessed Tian Yuwei becoming more and more attached to Su Yue.

And now he knew that Su Yue's identity was unusual. At this time, even if Zhou Nan was tactless, he knew that Su Yue was definitely not someone he could provoke now.

When faced with his own life and a woman, although Zhou Nan was genuinely unwilling to let Tian Yuwei leave with his own hands like this, things had already escalated to this point, and his struggling was useless now.

Instead of completely enraging Su Yue, it was better for him to first appease Su Yue and try to get him to let him off the hook.

Su Yue had actually seen through Zhou Nan's true thoughts, but he was indifferent to his flattery and didn't give him a good look.

Given how Zhou Nan had treated Tian Yuwei before, how could Su Yue possibly accept him so easily?

However, at this moment, Tian Yuwei had already climbed out of the window and was cautiously trying to climb outwards.

Su Yue instantly put away all other thoughts and instructed Zhou Nan, who was beside him.

"Hold the rope tight."

Without Su Yue needing to remind him, Zhou Nan had already gripped the rope tightly.

Su Yue instructed Tian Yuwei, "Tian Yuwei, slide down with confidence. We will hold onto you tightly."

Outside the window was Tian Yuwei's quiet reply, "O-okay... okay..."

And the wooden door that had been holding back the big fire finally couldn't bear it anymore at this moment. With a loud 'Bang!', the big fire directly engulfed the wooden door, and the surging flames rushed into the room.

Zhou Nan, who had been quite calm, instantly widened his eyes, screamed in terror, and the force in his hands unconsciously loosened.

Zhou Nan let go too suddenly. Su Yue didn't realize it for a moment and almost rushed out of the window with Tian Yuwei, who was outside.

It was only because he reacted in time, quickly wrapped the curtains around his hands a few times, and pushed against the wall with all his strength that he didn't fall down with Tian Yuwei.

And Tian Yuwei was also so scared by the sudden drop and the strong feeling of weightlessness that she screamed. Even though Su Yue quickly secured her again, Tian Yuwei was still trembling.

She was so scared that tears flowed out, and she tightly gripped the curtains in front of her with both hands.

"Su... Su Ge..."
