At this time, Xu Da was running back from the door barefoot, and the bedroom door was already wide open. He said to Li Rui in an urgent tone: "Get dressed quickly, the house is on fire. I'll wake up Anan and his wife, Zixuan and the others." As he said that, he quickly put on his pants and shoes and ran out.

Li Rui was startled and did not dare to neglect. He hurriedly put on his clothes, picked up his cell phone, pulled his shoes, ran to the door quickly, and looked out. It was okay if he didn't look at it. When he saw the scene in front of him, he was shocked.

I saw that the living room and the door were already in a sea of ​​fire. The fire was raging, causing the pine partitions and the roof ceiling to crackle. The thick smoke was swept out by the strong wind outside the door. Only a few left rushed into the inner room and accumulated a ball on the edge of the kitchen. Seeing the fire spread ruthlessly, it seemed that the big house could be burned in less than a few minutes.

After a brief shock, Li Rui found that the stairs leading to the second floor had not yet burned, so he hurriedly ran up the wooden stairs and came to the second floor to see that Xu Da had just knocked on the doors of the two rooms and shouted in concert.

At this time, the door of Yang Qingqing and his wife's bedroom was suddenly opened. Lin Huonan ran out of the inside in a vest and shorts, looking a little embarrassed. When they saw the two, they opened their mouths and asked, "Has the fire caught? I also smelled the smoke, but why did it suddenly catch fire?"

Xu Da couldn't answer this question either, and just said: "Let Qingqing come out quickly!"

Lin Huonan nodded and said, "She is already wearing clothes."

On the other side, the three girls Zixuan and Zixuan also ran out one after another. Yang Qingqing had already finished dressing, and the seven people gathered together and ran towards the stairs.

When the seven people arrived on the first floor, the entire living room and the buildings upstairs were all trapped in a sea of ​​fire. Standing at the entrance of the stairs, they felt the flames burning in their skin. Zixuan, Yang Qingqing and Zeng Baohua had never seen such a scene. They were all shocked and panicked.

Among the four women, Yang Xiang was calm and looked at the fire in front of her, as if she was looking at the light of fireflies, and she didn't care about it at all.

Lin Huonan was quite handsome and calm in the face of danger, shouting: "I can't go out of the front door anymore, hurry up and go to the back door!"

This is the benefit of the design layout of American-style houses. Not only does it have a front door, but the back door is generally designed, which is connected to the back courtyard or lawn. Usually, you can hold a part dinner or something, and you can use it to escape if you have something to do. Of course, this also brings unsafe factors, so most domestic houses do not consider leaving a back door, and at most a back door is left for the yard.

Lin Huonan led everyone around the kitchen and came to the back door. The back door was locked from inside. Lin Huonan reached out and pressed it, opened the secret lock, pushed the door open, and let his wife lead everyone to escape first, and he was in the back of his own palace.

This move is undoubtedly very righteous. It can be said to be a noble character and instantly won the high recognition of Li Rui, Xu Da, Yang Xiang and others. If the few people only regarded Lin Huonan as good friends before, then at this moment, the few people have already regarded Lin Huonan as a friend who can rush to the point of being bothered.

Yang Qingqing led everyone to the lawn behind the house, about twenty meters away from the house.

Lin Huonan quickly ran over and shouted: "It's not possible here, it's not safe. If the gas explodes, we will be injured by the explosion. You have to stay away." As he said that, he gestured to make everyone retreat again.

The couple and Li Rui and the other two retreated again and hid at a distance of fifty meters. When they looked again, they saw that the fire was soaring into the sky, several meters high. Under the strong wind, the whole house was completely covered in flames. At this time, let alone put out the fire, even if the fire alarm calls the fire truck, it would be useless. Maybe the house would be burned out when the fire truck arrived.

Lin Huonan seemed to think so. He looked at the fire with a heavy and cold face, but there was no sign of calling the fire. Of course, maybe he didn't bring his cell phone out.

Yang Qingqing couldn't help crying, crying very sadly. Lin Huonan hugged her and comforted her gently.

Li Rui and the other two stood beside each other, and they were sad and sad when they watched this scene.

"Ding!"

A soft sound of a car horn suddenly came from not far away. The sound was so abrupt in the quiet night that attracted all the gazes of the seven people.

The sound of the horn came from the road not far from the east of Lin Huonan's house. It was slanted opposite to the location where the seven people were. Under the reflection of the fire, the scene could be clearly seen. A black luxury car was parked there, and a tall and thin man was standing next to the car. He was looking over.

When the seven people were looking at the car, their eyes flashed. The headlights of the car flashed, and then flashed twice, a total of three times. Immediately afterwards, the tall and thin man waved to the seven people, as if he was saying hello.

Li Rui and the other two were shocked because no one knew the tall and thin man, but the five soon came to their senses. The other party was not saying hello to him, so they all looked at Lin Huonan and his wife.

Yang Qingqing didn't seem to know the tall and thin man, and was looking at her husband in confusion at this moment. Lin Huonan had a ferocious face and was staring at the tall and thin man fiercely. Li Rui also noticed that he had clenched his hands into fists, his arms trembled slightly, and he knew he was extremely angry at first glance.

Li Rui looked at Xu Da quietly, and Xu Da nodded to him, indicating that he understood what he meant. This sudden fire must be related to the tall and thin man.

The tall and thin man saw that Lin Huonan recognized him, turned around and returned to the car. The car whistled again and drove away.

The fire is still intensifying. Half of the roof has collapsed, and the tiles and wooden boards have fallen into the fire for a while to temporarily suppress the flames. However, as the fallen combustible items are ignited, the fire has risen again. In a blink of an eye, the entire house is swallowed by the fire demon. The wood is scorched by the flames, which is almost like setting off firecrackers. The air temperature around it also rises quickly, making people feel hot.

Fortunately, this house is a separate villa, far away from neighbors, otherwise the fire may have affected neighbors. However, neighbors have been woken up by the fire and left the house to see the scene, chaos began to appear.

Lin Huonan quickly calmed down and said apologetically to Li Rui and the other two: "I'm sorry for a few good friends, which scares you."

Li Rui glanced at Xu Da and said, "Anan, what are you talking about? Don't say that. Uh, if you have anything to help, just tell us and don't treat us as outsiders."

Lin Huonan sighed, smiled bitterly and shook his head, "You can't help with my business."

Yang Qingqing cried and said, "There is a burning family, what should I do in the future?"

Lin Huonan hugged her and said, "It doesn't matter if the home is gone, it's good if the person is there. As long as the person is there, the home is there."

Yang Qingqing said: "Call the police and you also need to contact the insurance company. Haven't our house been covered by insurance?"

Lin Huonan shook his head and said firmly: "You cannot call the police for this kind of thing, nor can you get compensation through the insurance company."

Yang Qingqing let out a soft cry, obviously feeling incredible.

Lin Huonan said: "I know who released the fire, and I will definitely seek justice from him, but this kind of internal affairs is considered a family matter, so it is not okay to call the police."

Yang Qingqing suddenly thought of something and said in a panic: "It was you... the insider who did it?"

Lin Huonan nodded helplessly, looking extremely tired.

He suddenly pushed Yang Qingqing away from his arms, walked to Li Rui, held his shoulders and walked to the secluded place beside him, and whispered: "Two good brothers, I never thought that you had encountered such a bad thing just now when you came to my house as a guest, and almost implicated you. I'm really sorry. I'll find a way to deal with this matter, and I'll deal with it tonight, but before I come back, I'll ask you to protect my wife. There is no need to protect it. We will go to a hotel in the city later, and you can just let Zixuan or Mary sleep with my wife."

When Li Rui heard that the word he used was "protection", he was shocked and nodded, saying, "Don't worry, we will definitely protect her."

Lin Huonan said again: "The house is burned and rebuilt, but I have to deal with it first. Now we will set out, go to the hotel first, and send my wife to the hotel before I leave."

Xu Da asked, "Then can you deal with your affairs alone?"

Lin Huonan smiled bitterly and said, "It's a bit troublesome, but I will try my best to do it. Humph, do you think I, Lin Huonan, can be bullied if I come to the United States alone? I want them to know my methods."

Li Rui wanted to ask again, but when Xu Da shook his eyes, he didn't speak again.

In order to avoid negotiating with the local police after a while, Lin Huonan decided to set off immediately. The couple rushed to Philadelphia with five people in a car. Fortunately, the couple's cars were not parked in the garage, otherwise they would not have been able to escape the catastrophe.

After rushing back to Shangri-La Hotel in Philadelphia, Zixuan took the initiative to invite Yang Qingqing to sleep in the same room with him. After Lin Huonan thanked Zixuan, he whispered to Yang Qingqing for a moment, then copied the phone number of the guest room, and then left the hotel alone.

Li Rui and Xu Da stayed in the room and did not leave for the time being. Xu Da asked Yang Qingqing: "What happened to Anan? If you know, tell us, and we can help him."

Only then did Li Rui understand the deep meaning of Xu Da's wink just now. It turned out that he knew that Lin Huonan would not tell the inside story, so he simply did not ask him, but asked his wife Yang Qingqing. Yang Qingqing and him came from Hong Kong to the United States, and he would know the inside story. In addition, he was worried about his husband's relationship, so it should be easier to tell the truth.

Yang Qingqing shook her head and said, "I don't know much. Anan refused to tell you. She must be afraid of causing trouble to you, so I can't say it either, otherwise I'll be sorry for you good friends."

Xu Da said: "Since we are good friends, what else can't be said? You have helped us a lot, and now we should repay you. Should friends help each other, do you need to be polite?"

Yang Qingqing looked at him with a little hesitant expression, and she wanted to say but was embarrassed to say it.
