Chapter 949 Evacuation
The two quickly evacuated to a safe area and watched in horror as the fire grew bigger.
"Dean! Children!" Jiang Mubai suddenly remembered the other people in the orphanage and shouted anxiously.
Cheng Yunchuan immediately dialed the fire number, then pulled Jiang Mubai into the crowd, looking for the dean and the children.
In the fire scene, cries and shouts for help were heard one after another, and the thick smoke made it hard to breathe. Jiang Mubai and Cheng Yunchuan searched separately, but they could not find any trace of the dean and the children.
"Yunchuan, I'm scared..." Jiang Mubai's voice trembled and tears flowed uncontrollably.
At this moment, Cheng Yunchuan saw a familiar figure in the crowd - the dean! He was holding a child and escaping from the fire with difficulty. He had multiple burns on his body and most of his clothes were burnt.
"Dean!" Jiang Mubai ran over excitedly and supported the staggering dean.
"The children... are all over the warehouse..." the dean said weakly, and then he fainted.
The warehouse! That's where the fire was the most intense!
Jiang Mubai's heart sank suddenly, and a feeling of despair surged in his heart.
"I'll go save them!" Cheng Yunchuan turned around without hesitation and ran towards the warehouse where flames were rising.
"No!" Jiang Mubai wanted to stop him, but he held his hand tightly, "Trust me, I will definitely bring them out."
Cheng Yunchuan's eyes were full of determination and resoluteness, as if no difficulties could stop him. Jiang Mubai looked at his back, his heart full of worry and admiration.
In the fire scene, Cheng Yunchuan's figure shuttled between the thick smoke and flames. He rushed into the warehouse again and again to rescue the trapped children one by one.
Every time he went in and out, he would get new scars on his body and his clothes would be burned to tatters, but he never gave up.
Finally, he rescued the last child, but he himself fainted in the fire due to inhaling too much smoke.
When Jiang Mubai saw Cheng Yunchuan, who was covered in wounds and unconscious, her heart seemed to be torn apart. She hugged him tightly, and tears rolled down like beads from a broken string.
"Yunchuan, wake up! Nothing can happen to you!" Jiang Mubai cried and shook Cheng Yunchuan's body desperately.
Just then, a sirens sounded from far away and the fire truck finally arrived.
The fire was quickly brought under control, and medical staff rushed to the scene and sent Cheng Yunchuan to the hospital for emergency treatment.
Jiang Mubai stayed by Cheng Yunchuan's bedside, his heart filled with worry and self-blame.
If she hadn't suggested coming to the orphanage, if Cheng Yunchuan hadn't put himself in danger to save people...
She didn't dare to think further and could only pray silently, hoping that Cheng Yunchuan would be safe.
Three days later, Cheng Yunchuan finally woke up.
He opened his eyes and saw Jiang Mubai's haggard face.
"Mu Bai..." he called weakly.
"Yunchuan, you finally woke up!" Jiang Mubai threw himself into his arms excitedly and hugged him tightly, "You scared me to death!"
"I'm fine..." Cheng Yunchuan gently stroked Jiang Mubai's back, with a gentle smile on his face, "I said I would protect you..."
Jiang Mubai raised his head and looked at him with tearful eyes: "You are such a fool..."
Cheng Yunchuan smiled and said nothing.
Just then, the door of the ward was suddenly pushed open and a strange woman walked in.
She was dressed in gorgeous clothes, with exquisite makeup on her face, and exuded a noble temperament.
She walked to Cheng Yunchuan's bed and looked at him with complicated eyes: "Yunchuan, do you still remember me?"
Cheng Yunchuan was slightly stunned, and a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes.
Jiang Mubai was also stunned. She intuitively felt that the appearance of this woman would change everything between her and Cheng Yunchuan...
Cheng Yunchuan's heart skipped a beat. The woman in front of him was elegant and proud, like a blooming red rose, dazzling and charming. His dusty memories were suddenly opened, and a name came out of his mouth: "...Su...Su Wan?"
Su Wan, his college sweetheart, is also his eternal pain. Back then, Su Wan's family business encountered a crisis. In order to save the family, she left without saying goodbye and went overseas. Now, she appeared in front of him again, but under such circumstances.
Jiang Mubai's hand unconsciously tightened, holding Cheng Yunchuan's hand, and her fingertips turned slightly white. She could feel Cheng Yunchuan's trembling, and she could also feel the complex emotions in the air. The appearance of this woman was undoubtedly like a bomb that exploded between her and Cheng Yunchuan.
Su Wan's eyes swept over Jiang Mubai's hand holding Cheng Yunchuan tightly, and a barely perceptible sneer appeared at the corner of her mouth. "It seems that you already have a new life." There was a hint of bitterness in her tone, but more of a provocation.
Cheng Yunchuan struggled to pull his hand back, but found that Jiang Mubai held it tighter. He looked at Jiang Mubai, his eyes full of apology and helplessness.
Jiang Mubai met his gaze, said nothing, and just held his hand even tighter, as if asserting his sovereignty.
"Su Wan, what are you doing here?" Cheng Yunchuan's voice was a little hoarse, with a barely perceptible tremor.
Su Wan chuckled, walked to the bedside, sat down gracefully, and stared at Cheng Yunchuan with burning eyes. "I came to see you, my old friend." Her tone was gentle, but with a hint of unquestionable dominance.
"Old friend?" Jiang Mubai sneered, his tone full of sarcasm, "I think you are not interested in the bar?"
Su Wan raised her eyebrows and turned her gaze towards Jiang Mubai, her eyes full of disdain. "Who are you? What qualifications do you have to speak here?"
Jiang Mubai stared back at her without showing any weakness, his tone cold: "I'm his wife, do you think I'm qualified?"
"Wife?" Su Wan laughed out loud as if she had heard a funny joke, "Yunchuan, when did you get married? How come I didn't know?"
Cheng Yunchuan's face looked a little ugly. He wanted to explain, but didn't know where to start.
Jiang Mubai took a deep breath, suppressed the anger in his heart, and said calmly: "We don't need to report our marriage to you."
"Really?" Su Wan's eyes swept back and forth between Cheng Yunchuan and Jiang Mubai, with a meaningful smile on her lips, "Yunchuan, are you really going to give up everything we had for this woman?"
Cheng Yunchuan's heart sank suddenly. Su Wan's words were like a sharp sword, piercing his heart. He thought of the sweet time he had spent with Su Wan and the vows they had made.
He looked at Jiang Mubai, his eyes full of struggle and pain.
Jiang Mubai's heart felt like it was pierced by a needle, and the pain was unbearable. She knew that Su Wan's appearance had awakened Cheng Yunchuan's dusty memories and also awakened his nostalgia for the past.
