The capital city has been the capital of the emperor since ancient times, and there has not been a fire in the city center for many years. Therefore, this fire attracted the attention of everyone in the entire capital city. The media immediately focused their attention on the fire scene and showed strong concern about the fire.
Beijing is such a big city, so both protection and public security are naturally not a problem. Therefore, firefighters arrived at the scene as soon as the fire broke out, and traffic police also maintained public security at the scene as soon as possible. Ambulances from the hospital also drove to the hospital one by one, and the speed was very fast.
The firefighters' performance was also quite impressive. From the time the fire broke out to now, about half an hour has passed and the fire scene has been under control. The firefighters actively rescued the people stranded inside the building. Although there are many injured people, no deaths have been found yet.
The crowd gathered downstairs and had calmed down from the initial panic. Various discussions were heard one after another, and media reporters walked among them, interviewing the victims who were rescued or escaped from the fire scene.
The whole scene was chaotic yet orderly.
The only drawback is that although this area is not in the most prosperous area of the capital, it is also a main road. The fire occurred between 8 and 9 o'clock when the crowds are dense, so the road was blocked and traffic was hindered.
Gu Junlin looked towards the building where the fire was gradually slowing down. The seventh floor of the building was not affected too much. The sixth to third floors suffered the heaviest damage. Among them, the fire on the fifth and fourth floors was the most severe and the losses were also the greatest.
Fortunately, no collapse occurred. If it had occurred, who knows what kind of disaster it would have caused.
Zhou Tianyu said anxiously, "Xinya's boyfriend has been in there for almost ten minutes and hasn't come out yet. I don't know what the situation is like inside."
As time went by, Xu Tongxuan became very worried. Although the fire had been gradually brought under control, it would take time to put it out. There was still no news about Xinya, Ruoruo, Han Mofeng, and Xinya's boyfriend.
Xu Tongxuan was also worried: "Several groups of firefighters have gone in to search for stranded people in the building, but there is still no news about Xinya and the others. I don't know if something really happened?"
She didn't want to speculate whether something had happened to Xinya and the others, but she was extremely panicked.
Ling Qingxuan said quickly: "Don't worry, Xinya and the others will be fine."
Although he spoke confidently, he was not confident in his heart.
Fire is not like other dangers. The most dangerous thing about fire is smoke poisoning. Thick smoke can cause respiratory infections in many people, leading to breathing difficulties, chest tightness and suffocation, weakness in hands and feet, heavy head and light feet, and severe cases may even cause shock on the spot. Man-made disasters will be affected by various factors to some extent, and there will be a chance to deal with them, but natural disasters are the most ruthless.
Several people were silent.
Zhou Tianyu suddenly said, "No, I can't just wait like this any longer. I want to go up and see what's going on inside."
The fire has been brought under control. She plans to use her identity as the eldest daughter of the Zhou family to enter the building with the firefighters. After thinking it over, she feels that this method is feasible. Even if Xinya cannot be rescued, it is better than just waiting like this.
Gu Junlin knew what she was thinking, and quickly spoke to comfort her: "Tianyu, don't be impulsive. Although the fire is under control, it is not so easy to put it out. It is still very dangerous inside. Even if we want to go in and take a look, it is our job as men. You are a girl, don't go in, and ask others to take care of you."
His idea actually coincided with Zhou Tianyu's. Before, the fire was raging, and it was impossible to enter the fire scene. Now that the fire has been gradually brought under control, maybe they can think of a way. They can't just sit there and wait.
Ling Qingxuan also said: "This is our men's business, you and Xuanxuan just stay here and wait for news, Xiao Guzi and I will go up and take a look."
There are many stranded people in the building. When lives are at stake, who is nobler than who? Firefighters treat all lives equally. They will try their best to rescue any life. Although Xuanxuan used her identity as the eldest daughter of the Xu family to pressure the firefighters to try their best to find Xinya and the others, this kind of thing is not fair and aboveboard, and it cannot be done too much. Otherwise, if it gets out, it will also affect the reputation of the Xu family.
After a while, he and Xiao Guzi entered the building. He had escaped with Xinya before and knew the route more or less. Maybe he could find Xinya.
Xu Tongxuan hesitated: "It's very dangerous in there, do you want me to..."
After all, her grandfather was the former director of the National Security Bureau and had close ties with the fire department. It would be better to ask the firefighters to help than for them to take risks alone. As for the reputation of the Xu family, she couldn't take it into consideration now. She selfishly thought that if the reputation was lost, she could earn it again, but if something happened to her friends, there would be no chance of saving them.
Ling Qingxuan interrupted her and said, "Don't do that. There are reporters everywhere. They are busy interviewing people and getting first-hand information. They didn't notice us. If the reporters target us, we will all be in trouble."
They were all people of status, so they deliberately avoided reporters and never let them find them. If reporters had found them, they were at the fire scene, and who knows what would have happened.
It's not that I don't want the assistance of the firefighters, but in this situation, if I was really caught by reporters, even if Xinya could be rescued safely, it would not be good for Xinya's reputation.
Zhou Tianyu has something else to say...
Gu Junlin made the decision and said, "It's settled. Xuanzi and I will go up and take a look. You guys just wait for the news downstairs. Don't cause any more trouble."
Tianyu and Xuanxuan are both very opinionated people. They are afraid that if they go upstairs, something might happen to them, so he would waste time comforting them like this.
Zhou Tianyu and Xu Tongxuan nodded reluctantly: "Hurry up and go up. The most urgent thing is to save Xinya. If we delay for a moment, Xinya will be in more danger."
Gu Junlin and Ling Qingxuan walked towards the firefighters without hesitation.
I don’t know how they negotiated with the firefighters, but soon I saw them changed into firefighter uniforms and entered the protective line.
Zhou Tianyu and Xu Tongxuan both breathed a sigh of relief that it went so smoothly.
Xu Tongxuan said: "I hope they will be okay."
Zhou Tianyu also said: "Don't worry, they will be fine."
