The news that Chen Yeliang was still alive spread like wildfire throughout the rescue team within a minute.

In the duration of the fire which had burned for hours, the firefighters only focused on their mission and did not know the details. At this point, Wu Zhuo was the only one who knew everything that had happened.

He was immediately surrounded by firefighters. They all wanted to see this hero who jumped into the sea of fire.

“This is the Chen Yeliang who rode a bicycle to rescue the trapped workers? And went in and out 3 times too? Hey, stop pushing!”

“Good job, brother! With all these skills that you possess, it’s a pity you didn’t become a firefighter!”

“Wu, I heard that it was you and Chen Yeliang who drove into the fire. Tell us more about it!”

“shh!” Wu Zhuo raised his index finger to his mouth. “We’ll talk later. This is the most crucial moment!”

On the screen, Chen Yeliang was contacting the engineer to ask him about the location of the valve.

‘The engineer was weeping so hard with tears of joy that he could not speak properly. “It’s… the gas valve is right at the back! And… three more minutes! There’s another one downstairs!”

“That’s good enough!” Chen Yeliang smiled.

Possessed of a death-defying body, he had nothing to fear. Running around in the blaze was like running on a green field. Whether it was flames or explosives, they could not stop Chen Yeliang’s advance!

“Come on, Brother Liang!”

“You’re our hero! Brother Liang, you’re the best!”

“We can save Xilin, we don’t need to evacuate!”

“Boohoohoo, Chen Yeliang did it! He saved us. He is everybody’s hero!”

“If this were in the ancient times, we would have built an ancestral hall for someone like Brother Liang!”

‘The viewers in the live streaming channel were suddenly swirling with excitement as they kept cheering for Chen Yeliang!

Due to Chen Yeliang’s re-appearance, all that was lost was now given a new lease of life. The Xilin TV Station’s interview helicopter also boldly flew near the rescue helicopter to capture footage of Chen Yeliang’s hale and hearty figure!
“I didn’t expect… I didn’t expect that when I went down, all my colleagues were gone! Boohoohoo! I was so afraid of the fire! So I drenched myself in water and came back up! Waiting for the rescue helicopter… Boohoohoo… Thank goodness you guys came!”
She was totally soaked through and was hiding behind the concrete wall, barely holding on until Chen Yeliang appeared.

After listening to the girl explain the whole story, Chen Yeliang was full of admiration for her. For a girl to be able to think of the most important thing in time of the greatest danger, and even disregard her own safety to station herself here, it was indeed laudable.
Chen Yeliang stroked her hair and disentangled her arms from his body. Then, he pointed to the sky and said softly, “It’s alright now, I’ll bring you out of here immediately!”

‘The girl’s gaze followed Chen Yeliang’s finger and saw the rescue helicopter hovering in the sky. Her frown finally relaxed.

Chen Yeliang picked up his protective suit and draped it over the girl’s body. Then, he dashed out with her to an open space that was not surrounded by flames and waved to Lu Ruijin hovering in the sky.

‘When Lu Ruijin saw that Chen Yeliang was still alive, he was overjoyed.

“Look, Chen is still alive! He’s asking us for help! Let’s go!”

The pilot was already on the verge of fainting and could not share Lu Ruijin’s joy. He forced himself to stay upright and guided Lu Ruijin to navigate the helicopter over to Chen Yeliang’s location and hover above him and the girl.
Chen Yeliang grabbed the dangling rope and skillfully hung it around the girl’s waist.

“Help me pass a message when you get up there. This place is about to explode. Get Chief Lu to leave immediately!” Chen Yeliang said in a serious tone.

“What about you?” The girl pulled Chen Yeliang’s sleeve tightly, her eyes sparkling with bewilderment.

“know how to take care of myself. Quickly go up!”

Following the signal given by Chen Yeliang, the cable winch slowly pulled the girl up, in a steady and reassuring way.

‘The girl bit her lips and the tears she had tried so hard to stop earlier welled up in her eyes again. She stared at Chen Yeliang’s back view with great reluctance.

The fire site was overrun by raging flames. Without a helicopter, it was impossible to leave this place! This savior who had appeared from nowhere and was about to leave again might end up staying here forever!

The girl was touched by the moving and tragic significance of his gesture and shouted, “Can you tell me your name? I want to know your name!”

“There’s no need for that!” Chen Yeliang waved his hand and said, “When we meet again, we can have a long chat!”
