Yihshyong and Shannchyuan speedily crossed a reasonably large intersection. The incident was truly an unexpected thing. At that point, they were no longer walking leisurely. Shannchyuan walked quick. It was so fast that Yihshyong had a hard time keeping up with Shannchyuan's pace.

In no time, they had already crossed five hundred meters from the intersection. They had arrived at a big fork. On the left was a large road leading to the gate of the elite housing estate inhabited by Yinqyueh's relatives. The road there was very jammed, and the two-way street was filled with various kinds of vehicles. Lots of vehicles trying to move away from the housing. There were also many vehicles, which had just arrived, lining the road leading to the gate. The newly arrived fire trucks struggled to move forward because too many vehicles were blocking their path.

Shannchyuan and Yihshyong kept walking. Because the roads were very congested, many of the passengers in those cars got off and chose to walk. The sidewalks on both sides of the road were congested with pedestrians. Not only people who were using the sidewalk. In fact, several bicycles passed through the sidewalk.

When they had walked about three hundred meters from the turn, Yihshyong suddenly grabbed Shannchyuan's arm.

"What's wrong? The residential gate is still about five hundred meters ahead of us!" Shannchyuan said.

"Dahge! Look at that," Yihshyong pointed at the crowd in front of them.

"What should I see? So many people in front of us."

"That! Fifty meters ahead of us," Yihshyong raised his hand. He pointed his index finger forward.

Shannchyuan followed Yihshyong's direction.

"Could you see clearly?"

"Why? Why is she here?" Shannchyuan shouted so loudly. His tone was full of astonishment. As a result, several people turned their heads toward them.

About fifty meters in front of them, a girl was also walking fast. Yihshyong could only see her from behind. But from her posture and clothes, he was absolutely sure that the girl was Yinqyueh. Shannchyuan quickened his pace. That time, he was half running. They couldn't run freely because there were too many people. It was almost thirty seconds later that they managed to approach the girl. Shannchyuan patted the girl's shoulder.

The girl turned to them.

"Uncle Shannchyuan!" The girl stopped walking.

"Sheautyan, what are you doing here?"

"There's a fire, Uncle! I'm worried..."

"Uncle Duanmuh, how are you?" A young man greeted him warmly. He was standing right next to Yinqyueh.

"Tsaehorng? Why are you here too?" Yihshyong really didn't expect that person to be there too. That young man was Tsaehorng. The person they helped about half a year ago. He called Shannchyuan and his friends "uncle" because of the considerable age gap between them and Tsaehorng.

Shannchyuan turned to the young man standing next to Yinqyueh. "Why are you here together with Yinqyueh?"

"I came to Uncle's house earlier. There, it was only Uncle Dongfang and Miss Liuchiou. All of you are away."

Tsaehorng didn't meet Iren and Shinnshiow. It means they were still underground when Tsaehorng came.

"Then we saw the news of the fire on television, so we rushed over here!" Yinqyueh continued Tsaehorng's words.

Yihshyong and Shannchyuan looked at each other.

"Now, where is Jenqyih?" Yihshyong asked.

By now, he should have gone to the station, which was very far away, to pick up the backpack he had left there last night.

"He didn't come. He said someone had to be on guard at home," said Tsaehorng.

Uh? He let Miss Liuchiou go alone with Tsaehorng?

"The location of the fire is very close to my relative's house. So I have to look here." Yinqyueh's face looked so worried.

'"So you asked Tsaehorng to drive you here?" Shannchyuan raised eyebrows.

"It's not like that, Uncle." Tsaehorng smiled. "I have relatives living in this estate as well. So I also want to know if they're all right."

Yihshyong looked at the young man. Logically, his words made a lot of sense. The Mingju family was rich and respected. They could not possibly live in a simple hut. For them, housing, such as buildings in such elite housing, could then be called a house.

"You two didn't try calling them?" asked Shannchyuan.

"Earlier at uncle's house, Miss Liuchiou tried to call her relatives' house. I also tried to contact my relatives. But no one answered our calls," said Tsaehorng.

"Where's your car?" Yihshyong looked around. Tsaehorng and Yinqyueh could get there that fast, so they must have taken their own private vehicle.

"That, far behind," Tsaehorng pointed at the cars lined up along the road.

"Which one?" Yihshyong asked.

"Not visible from here," said Tsaehorng. "There are a lot of traffic jams. Cars run like snails. So we decided to just walk."

Yihshyong looked at Shannchyuan. Promptly, he hugged Yinqyueh's shoulder. The girl looked a little shocked. Yihshyong understood. Even though the girl didn't know the relatives who would host her in a few days, they were still her relatives. If something terrible happened to them, the girl would surely languish.

"Let's get closer to the housing gate," said Shannchyuan.
