"Quick, put out the fire!" the battalion chief urgently shouted. At this moment, who could afford to worry about anything else? The building had already collapsed, and the main person had been rescued, there was no need to worry about thermal expansion and contraction anymore.

Soon, two large fire trucks began to crazily spray water at the flames on the scene.

Because of the collapse of the floors, the fire completely lost its target to burn, so it was quickly brought under control.

"Wow..." The little girl holding an apple suddenly burst into tears, hugging her mother, she said, "Mommy, the hero uncle is gone."

The girl's mother quickly embraced her child, swallowing back the tears in her eyes, comforting her, "Hero uncle is still here, it's just that... he's gone to heaven, he will always protect us."

The surrounding crowd was moved by the innocent romanticism of the little girl, with some people secretly wiping tears from the corners of their eyes.

Some of those who had been rescued were sent to the hospital due to respiratory infections, while others stayed at the scene. Those who stayed couldn't help but cry out. Tang Yumeng was especially inconsolable with grief.

"Captain Liu..." the young traffic cop said awkwardly, "The person... the person is gone, we..."

"We'll stay," Traffic cop Old Liu gritted his teeth, his eyes moistening, "to send off the hero on his final journey."

The firefighters had already brought the fire under control, and they began to enter the scene to search for Lin Chuan's body. They hoped to find Lin Chuan at the fire site and pay him the highest respect. Almost everyone at the scene had an indelible impression of Lin Chuan, with one thought in everyone's mind: he is a hero!

Indeed, Lin Chuan was a hero, a true hero who sacrificed himself for others.

Tang Yumeng struggled to her feet, then ignoring everyone's objections, put on a gas mask and rushed into the smoke-filled scene. She was searching, searching for a person, searching for the man deep in her heart, the man who had confessed to her just ten minutes ago.

In her heart, Tang Yumeng had fully recognized Lin Chuan's identity. Even without Lin Chuan's confession this time, she had long regarded Lin Chuan as her man. Otherwise, she wouldn't have been angry and upset over the ambiguous relation between Lin Chuan and Fang Yuan.

"Lin Chuan, where are you!" Tang Yumeng screamed heart-wrenchingly.

In the fire scene, apart from the thick black smoke, nothing else could be seen. The piles of timber, the chaotic scene. The fire battalion chief, fearing that Tang Yumeng might encounter an accident, immediately sent two fire policemen to follow her. If any danger occurred, they could protect her at any time.

Unfortunately, a search of the scene did not reveal Lin Chuan's body.

By this time, the night had already fallen. Previously, due to the burning of the drum tower, everything around was illuminated, so people did not realize it had gotten dark. Now, the fire had been extinguished, and people realized that it was already dark.

"It's gotten dark."

"Don't let the hero be scared!"

"Turn on your phone flashlights, light up this night sky, illuminate the hero's way home!"

The dense crowd, thousands of people, hurriedly took out their phones and simultaneously turned on their flashlights, directing them towards one direction. If the light of one person is weak, then the light from these thousands is strong.

Looking at the scene, Chen Zhonghua was stunned, the fire battalion chief was stunned, and traffic cop Old Liu was stunned too. They had never heard or seen such a scene in their lifetimes.

Tang Yumeng once again collapsed to the ground. The absence of Lin Chuan's body meant that Lin Chuan's body must be buried underneath. Suddenly, like a furious little lioness, Tang Yumeng charged into the interior, attempting to turn over the piles of wood still sparking with fire. She disregarded the scorching burnt wood, she disregarded the surrounding flames that might ignite at any moment...

"Secretary Tang, enough!" Luo Guoqing urgently grabbed her arm.

"Let me go, I need to find Lin Chuan!" Tang Yumeng screamed hysterically.

"Accept the reality, Lin Chuan is dead," Luo Guoqing roared back. "Even though he's dead, you shouldn't waste his goodwill. It was he who gave you and me another chance to live!"

"No, no, he's not dead!" Tang Yumeng shook her head, nervously saying, "I heard it, I heard Lin Chuan calling me."

"That's your hallucination!" Luo Guoqing urgently said.

Tang Yumeng wouldn't give up, she continuously searched, continuously cried out, but in this pile of rubble, there was no sign of Lin Chuan. She disregarded her fingers bleeding, the risk of scars on her hands, striving desperately to search.

Changlin Community, within the vast factory.

Zhou Kai was having a meal with his brothers when he suddenly received a phone call. He immediately put down his meal.

"Brother Kai, what's wrong?" Li Qiang and others urgently looked at Zhou Kai.

Zhou Kai's expression was solemn. After he hung up the phone, he shouted urgently, "Brothers, stop eating, grab your stuff, and immediately follow me to Western City District!"

"Zhou Kai, what happened?" Lu Dapao curiously asked, his mouth still full of food that he hadn't swallowed.

"Brother Chuan is in trouble," Zhou Kai said with an ugly expression. "I fear that… he might have…"

"Damn!" Lu Dapao nearly jumped up, hastily asking, "What happened? Who did it?"

"There's a fire in the Drum Tower of the Western City District, Brother Chuan went up to rescue people… so…" Zhou Kai gritted his teeth and said, "Brothers, hurry, let's go!"

Rustling...

In the factory, dozens of people immediately put down their lunch boxes and rushed out. A group of them piled into vehicles.

Zhao Zhonghai, who was preparing his stall, received a call from Zhou Kai. He hurriedly threw his cart to the side of the road and sprinted towards Huai Mountain South Road. By the roadside, several Jinbei vans were parked at the roadside. Zhao Zhonghai ran furiously.

"Brother Zhao, you..." Zhou Rui, who had just come back from collecting money at Haiqing Pool, suddenly saw Zhao Zhonghai running towards the intersection anxiously.

"Something happened to Lin Chuan, I'm going to check it out," Zhao Zhonghai replied while running.

"What?" Zhou Rui heard this and couldn't just stand by. She also ran after him, shouting, "Wait for me!"

Soon after, the two swiftly got into a vehicle. Inside, everyone's expression was very grave.

Zhou Rui asked anxiously, "What... what is going on exactly?"

"I'm not quite sure yet!" Zhou Kai shook his head and said, "It was a call from one of Brother Chuan's colleagues. I'm afraid it's true!"

Zhou Rui firmly shook her head and said, "Impossible, Lin Chuan is so capable, how could something happen to him."

"We hope not too!" Zhou Kai sighed.

Several Jinbei vans raced towards Western City District. The rush hour was almost at its end, and the traffic conditions were good. It took less than twenty minutes for the vehicles to speed to Western City District.

When they arrived at the scene, their vehicles were completely blocked two hundred meters away.

"No use, the vehicles are stuck," Zhou Kai gritted his teeth. "It looks like we need to find a spot to park!"

"Just shove them up on the sidewalk!" Zhao Zhonghai replied.

"Okay!" Zhou Kai nodded.

Subsequently, a few vehicles directly climbed onto the twenty-centimeter-high curb, then dumped the vehicles, and the group quickly sprinted towards the Drum Tower. From afar, they saw countless people raising their mobile phones, switching on the flashlight function.

"What… what is happening?" Zhou Rui urgently asked.

"We don't know yet!" Zhao Zhonghai shook his head and said, "Let's understand what's happening on the ground first."

The group sprinted, and Zhou Rui, wearing high heels, also kept up the pace. After arriving at the scene, they asked a few questions, and received almost identical answers.

Zhou Rui looked forlorn, stumbling, and muttered to herself, "Illuminating the road home for the heroes..."

Zhou Kai and the others couldn't stay calm; they quickly pushed through the crowd and squeezed in.

The fire department staff were still clearing the scene, and the police had cordoned off the area, stopping the onlookers.

"What are you doing, this area is off limits, it's dangerous!" the police shouted sternly.

"Fuck you!" Lu Dapao punched a policeman to the ground, ripped the police tape, and then rushed in.

"What are you doing, what are you all doing!" At this moment, many policemen surrounded them.
