He Meimei looked at Chen Yang's back in disbelief. She couldn't understand how Chen Yang could have slipped away just like that.
He Meimei stared blankly at this scene, astonishment written all over her face.
Although they were not police officers, as a national security officer, shouldn't they come forward in this kind of crisis? Shouldn't they stay behind to help the others evacuate first?
Why did Chen Yang escape first? Why?
Just then, Qin Hai led a large group of people and rushed towards the staircase. When he saw He Meimei, he immediately grabbed her arm and shouted, "What are you still standing there for? Let's go!"
He Meimei seemed to wake up from a dream and said, "Have the people in the room shouted it out yet?"
"They've already been shouted out. Let's go!"
"Oh, okay!" He Meimei hurriedly followed Qin Hai to the first floor of the bar. At this moment, the first floor was filled with a great amount of black smoke. It was extremely suffocating. He Meimei hurriedly covered her nose with her hands.
As flames continued to fall onto the first floor, the entire first floor was now filled with cries and screams. Almost everyone desperately rushed towards the exit, but the exit was only that big.
Seeing that the situation was deteriorating rapidly, Qin Hai was burning with anxiety. He looked around and suddenly turned around and rushed towards the small stage at the back of the bar.
Seeing Qin Hai running towards the exit, He Meimei's eyes widened. She subconsciously wanted to follow him, but was swept away by the crowd and rushed towards the exit.
"I'm a cop, I'm a cop. Everyone, don't panic, the fire hasn't started yet, we still have plenty of time to let everyone leave. Everyone will be very safe, as long as we leave in order, there's no need to worry. "
He Meimei was stunned. She turned around and saw Qin Hai standing on the bar's stage, talking into a microphone.
Soon after, more people climbed onto the table, like Qin Hai and He Meimei who were trying their best to maintain order. With their reminder, the chaos was gradually resolved, and the number of people blocking the exit gradually decreased. After a short and long period of more than ten minutes, everyone in the bar had safely retreated outside the bar, with the exception of Qin Hai and the others.
Bang!
The fire was raging and thick smoke billowed. The first floor was already pitch black, and the scorching air waves were almost unbearable.
He Meimei could not care about pulling Huang Juan anymore as she shouted towards the small stage inside the bar with all her might, "Group Leader Qin, everyone has been evacuated! Let's go!"
At this moment, a figure jumped off the stage and rushed towards the staircase.
"You guys go first. There should be someone on the second floor. I'll go take a look."
"Group Leader Qin!" He Meimei was so anxious that she jumped up and down. She wanted to rush over, but another piece of the ceiling fell down, smas.h.i.+ng right in front of her. If it wasn't for Huang Juan desperately holding her back, it might have landed on He Meimei's body.
Under Huang Juan's desperate tugging, He Meimei finally left the bar with her.
When she broke free from the pull of the yellow cloth and turned around, she saw flames shooting up into the sky from the bar, causing He Meimei to stop her steps abruptly.
"Group Leader Qin, Group Leader Qin!" He Meimei shouted with all her might. Her voice was so loud that it was almost hoa.r.s.e. However, she still could not see Qin Hai.
"Beautiful, quickly retreat! Group Leader Qin can't come out! He can't come out anymore!" Huang Juan was extremely anxious. With the help of the others, she forcefully dragged He Meimei far away.
Bang!
Another few pieces of the burning ceiling fell heavily to the ground, and along with the splas.h.i.+ng of flames, the bar's flames shot up into the sky.
He Meimei collapsed onto the ground. She stared blankly at the raging fire before her as she muttered, "Impossible, impossible!"
At the same time, on a small platform on the second floor, after careful searching, Qin Hai finally found Xue Yi who was trembling in fear in a small room.
Qin Hai didn't have time to explain to Xue Yi. He pulled her up from the ground and rushed out of the room with her.
However, just as they arrived at the staircase, a ferocious wave of heat rushed towards them. Even Qin Hai could not endure such intense heat.
Obviously, it was no longer possible to go down the stairs.
The first floor was already occupied by the fire, so the second floor was temporarily safe. However, because the decorating materials in the bar were all very inflammable, the second floor could not hold on for long. They had to leave as soon as possible!
Soon after, he pulled Xue Yi into the washroom and poured water on himself and Xue Yi. Then, he grabbed her and rushed up to the second floor's terrace.
The scorching heat evaporated the water on their bodies. Qin Hai used his body to protect Xue Yi on the inside. Then, he rushed towards the window in front of them.
Qin Hai grabbed a chair and smashed the gla.s.s in the window. Then, he shouted at Xue Yi, "If you want to live, jump down."
Xue Yi was so scared that her face was drained of color. She kept shaking her head. Qin Hai couldn't care less and directly carried her and jumped down from the broken window.
At the same time, a burst of exclamations came from the crowd outside the bar.
He Meimei's dull eyes suddenly regained their spirit and she hurriedly asked, "Who came out?"
"Group Leader Qin, it's Group Leader Qin who has come out!" Look, he even saved a person! " Huang Juan was so excited that she cried and shouted. She had completely lost control of her emotions.
He Meimei was also not much stronger than her. Seeing Qin Hai carrying a person and running over quickly, two streams of hot tears flowed down her face. Then, she hugged Huang Juan tightly, and the two of them cried and shouted while jumping up and down like two crazy women.
