Gu Jinhe looked up at the flames coming out of the window on the seventh floor, his eyes dark and unclear.

Xu Cheng threw away the towel that was covering his mouth and nose, and when he saw that Gu Jinhe was fine, he turned his attention to the source of the fire in the hotel.

After a while, Xu Cheng said with some doubt: "The cause of the fire is not clear yet, but I always feel that this matter is not that simple."

What a coincidence, the hotel where the fire broke out happened to be the hotel where Gu Jinhe was staying.

The hotel has a total of nine floors. The fire broke out on the seventh floor, and the hotel originally booked by Gu Jinhe and his group was on the seventh floor.

But for some reason the front desk staff arranged for someone to stay on the seventh floor, so Gu Jinhe and his group had to stay on the fifth floor.

Because this is the only floor that has no customers staying there yet.

If it weren't for the front desk's mistake, they would have stayed on the seventh floor.

Looking at the fire situation on the seventh floor, even if you noticed the fire at the time, it would not be easy to escape.

Gu Jinhe looked up at the not-so-bright moon above his head and said to Xu Cheng, "Take the car out of the garage. We'll leave overnight."

Xu Cheng didn't ask anything and arranged for eight bodyguards to go to the garage to pick up the car.

After the car stopped by the roadside, Gu Jinhe and his group got in the car without saying anything, started the car and left.

So he missed the thanks from the parents of the boy who was rescued by Gu Jinhe.

But even if she knew, Gu Jinhe wouldn't care. Saving people was just a piece of cake for her. She just didn't want to see someone die innocently in front of her.

If you can save him, why not?

While in the car, Gu Jinhe leaned back in the chair and closed his eyes to rest, while Xu Cheng sat in the passenger seat, holding his cell phone and making a call.

After a while, Xu Cheng whispered to Gu Jinhe: "We have found the source of the fire."

Gu Jinhe opened his eyes slightly: "What is it?"

Xu Cheng: "The power supply short-circuited and aged over time, which caused the fire."

Gu Jinhe said calmly: "Do you believe this reason?"

Of course Xu Cheng didn't believe it, so he specially asked someone to investigate the cause of the incident, but the result of the investigation was like this.

It was obvious that someone deliberately faked the cause of the fire.

This was an intentional arson.

Gu Jinhe glanced at the rapidly receding greenery outside the car window and said, "The next journey may not be safe. Pay attention to the surroundings."

Hearing this, a hint of vigilance flashed in Xu Cheng's eyes, and he quickly scanned the surrounding environment.

It was the middle of the night, and apart from their group of eight cars, they did not encounter any other cars on the road.

At least for now, this road is safe.

After saying this, Gu Jinhe closed her eyes and continued to rest. She had just observed and knew that at least it was safe tonight, but she was not sure about the daytime.

What we need to do now is to conserve our energy and prepare for unknown dangers.

Because of the fire that broke out at night, the convoy drove from midnight until the next morning before finding a place to rest.

Even if the car doesn't need to rest, people still need to rest and eat.

This is a city close to the capital. The high-rise buildings lining the streets are staggered and look dazzling.

Gu Jinhe and his friends chose a restaurant to have their meal, and before eating, Xu Cheng specially asked someone to check whether there was any poison in the food.

It was really that fire that raised Xu Cheng's alarm to the highest level.

From then on, he would test everything that was edible before giving it to Gu Jinhe.

Gu Jinhe knew that Xu Cheng was being cautious just in case, so he did not stop him.

At least to give him peace of mind, Gu Jinhe waited for Xu Cheng to finish the inspection and verify that it was non-toxic before he started eating.

After finishing their meal, they rested for a while and then continued on their way.

As they were worried about encountering any danger on the road, Gu Jinhe and his group did not stop the car.

The capital city was just around the corner and they were about to enter its territory when something unexpected happened.

At first the ground shook, then the car was trembling, and then a two-meter-wide gash appeared in the ground.

"squeak--!"

"squeak--!"

The sound of brakes echoed throughout the open space.

Due to inertia, Gu Jinhe rushed forward before slowing down.

Their car was only half a meter away from falling into the bottomless pit.

Xu Cheng looked at the dark hole in front of him with lingering fear, his heart sinking again and again.

This opening just extended the entire avenue, blocking their cars. They could not pass through the two-meter-wide opening and continue driving forward.

Gu Jinhe saw that there were small paths on both sides of the road and made a quick decision: "Abandon the car."

A group of twenty-two people abandoned their cars and walked on the trail.

Xu Cheng looked back at the abyss on the ground with a rather unsightly expression.

It was another coincidence. It hadn't cracked earlier, but it suddenly cracked when Gu Jinhe's convoy arrived.

If the driver and he had not been paying attention to the road ahead, they might not have been able to prepare in advance to avoid it.

If they can't avoid it, they will fall down with the car.

Whether it can be fished out in the end is still an unknown.

Because such cracks only appear in earthquakes, and the cracks that appear in earthquakes are the most dangerous.

Because it can close within seconds after cracking.

And now we are about to reach the capital, but something like this happened at this critical juncture. Even a fool knows that the matter is not simple.

Because they were worried that the road might crack again, Gu Jinhe and his group walked the rest of the way.

It was not until they entered the capital that Gu Jinhe and his party got back into the car.

Of course, it was not their original car, but the one Xu Cheng temporarily transferred here.

As for their original car, someone had already been arranged to return the car along the original route and find a new route to continue driving towards the capital.

After all, there were things that Mr. Zhao left for her in the car, and Gu Jinhe couldn't just throw them away.

It was not until the car arrived at the gate of the Gu family's old house that Xu Cheng's worries slowly subsided.

When the Gu family learned about the risks Gu Jinhe faced when he returned, they were very angry.

The Gu family will definitely send someone to investigate the cause of the fire in the hotel and the sudden crack in the road.

There was a fire and a ground crack out of the blue, how come Gu Jinhe happened to encounter both?

No one would believe if you said there was nothing wrong.

When Gu Jinhe heard the news that the Gu family was in danger, he flew away as if he had wings.

That night Fu Huaiyuan came to Gu's house.

When Gu Jinhe saw Fu Huaiyuan's figure, he was stunned for a moment. The two had not seen each other since they came down the mountain last time.

After Gu Jinhe recovered from her injuries, she did not go to see Fu Huaiyuan. She knew that Fu Huaiyuan was very busy, so she did not disturb him, but chose to take people to the ancestral home by herself.
