After My Rebirth, I Escaped My Marriage

Wen Yanqing, who had returned to the meeting room, was absent-minded. His heart was no longer there.

He was waiting for Lin Gantang’s call. He was waiting for her to tell him that she had gotten the documents and that they could set off. After waiting for some time, he felt that it was taking too long. He could not help but look at his phone. The red dot on it went from beside Yuanshui River to the Lin residence. Wen Yanqing’s eyes were filled with anticipation.

“President Wen, do you agree with the proposal?” the person in charge of the other team asked.

Wen Yanqing collected his thoughts and began the discussion.

The meeting went smoothly. During the break, Wen Yanqing left the meeting room and called Lin Gantang.

However, the other party did not pick up.

Wen Yanqing called her again. After failing, he tapped on his phone and noted down the location. The location showed that she was in the bookstore, but why didn’t she pick up the call?

Should just go and have a look; maybe she didn’t notice that her phone was on silent.

Wen Yanqing told himself.

However, he was getting more and more nervous because Lin Gantang rarely missed his calls. No matter how busy she was, she would pick up.

All of a sudden, a sense of panic welled up in his heart. It was just like the time when Lin Gantang was kidnapped. Wen Yanqing dialed the number over and over again, but he had already left the meeting area quickly.

Yi Qian shouted from behind and chased after him anxiously. Then, he watched powerlessly as Wen Yanqing got into the car and sped away, panting helplessly.

Wen Yanqing drove extremely quickly, and the alarm he felt grew as the distance shortened. When he got closer, he saw the thick smoke that spewed into the sky, and a silent fear spread through his limbs and bones.

The storefront was surrounded by fire, crackling and burning non-stop. The scorching temperature seemed to burn everyone who approached.

“Why isn’t the fire engine here yet? Any longer and the nearby houses will be in trouble.”

“How did it catch fire?”

“I don’t know. It suddenly started burning. The bookstore in the middle caught fire first. The fire became stronger and then spread to the sides.”

“Is there anyone there? Hurry up and help save them!”

“It’s so dangerous. How can we save them? It’s still early. The shops here aren’t open yet. There shouldn’t be anyone, right?”

Many people gathered in the distance and looked at the fire anxiously. However, they had no choice but to wait for the firefighters to arrive.

Wen Yanqing rushed towards the bookstore. Someone saw him and quickly pulled him back. A middle-aged woman in her fifties shouted worriedly, “Are you trying to get sent to your grave? Such a big fire! There was no one inside! Wait outside.”

“There’s someone, there’s someone inside!” Wen Yanqing’s eyes turned red as he pulled his hand away and rushed towards the fire without caring for his own safety.

As he neared the bookstore, the hot air licked at his body. Through the glass door, he could see the flames jumping on both sides, devouring the books. Wen Yanqing wanted to push the door open and enter, but he realized that the door was locked from the inside. She was clearly in the bookstore, and she had never taken off her anklet. The position indicated that she was here!

Wen Yanqing kicked the door open like a madman. The door lock was immediately broken, and flames burst out, pouncing towards him.

Wen Yanqing seemed to be unable to see the raging flames as he charged in recklessly.

“Tangtang!” Wen Yanqing covered his mouth and nose, constantly searching for her. He kept walking further in, his heart sinking.

Without her answer, without her shadow, his heart tightened with every inch he moved. The fear of losing her entangled and tore him apart.

Until he heard a cat meow. The disheveled Ximi scurried to his feet and ran to the second floor, repeatedly looking back at him.

Wen Yanqing suddenly understood what it meant and rushed forward with a tense expression. The fire on the second floor was even bigger. The billowing smoke made him cough and his eyes smart..
