e's misfortune.She saw that his expression was serious, like a scientist conducting research, his eyes scanning her body everywhere, but without the slightest hint of impropriety. In an instant, she u...Chapter 1083: Who Did It

The auction attendees treated the man in the mask like a hot potato, ushering him in and then scattering. Fang Jinshu settled the payment on the spot.

The masked man didn't say a word. Bai Xuan was very curious about what he looked like, though. She had bought him after all.

"Hey, take your mask off and take a look."

The masked man paused slightly, then raised his hand and slowly removed his mask.

The moment he showed his face, Bai Xuan was stunned.

"I didn't expect this Xia kid to be quite handsome."

Fang Jinxiu narrowed her eyes. She wasn't usually concerned with a person's appearance, but the moment she saw his face, her heart skipped a beat.

This face actually bears a striking resemblance to Li Lie, about five points.

Can distant relatives look this similar

She retracted her gaze without a flicker.

"Is this what you call good-looking The male slave below looks better than him."

Fang Jinshu's words diverted Bai Xuan's attention. She turned her head and whispered to the man in the mask.

Put it on.

The masked man inadvertently lifted his head to glance at Fang Jinxiu. Just one glance made him freeze, and he only came to his senses when he heard her speak. He hurriedly put his mask back on.

They didn't bid on anyone else after that, and when it was time to wrap up the auction, Bai Xuan still felt unsatisfied.

"The next time I want to see a beautiful woman, I'll have to wait another year."

She turned her head excitedly and said, "Jinxiu sister, let's make an appointment to come and watch the beauties together next year!"

Fang Jinxiu smiled, neither agreeing nor shaking her head, and changed the subject.

"Everyone's gone, let's go too."

Jiang Zhuang kept his eyes fixed on the second floor. As soon as the guests stood up, a plume of smoke suddenly emerged from a dark corner of the auction hall.

Someone shouted in alarm.

"What's going on"

"Where's the smoke coming from"

"Oh no! The villa is on fire again!"

As soon as the word "fire" was uttered, the crowd erupted in chaos. Fear amplified, some people began to panic and run around wildly.

The scene instantly descended into chaos.

Upon seeing this, Fang Jinshui perked up, her spirits high. Another fire How coincidental

This time, Zongyu isn't involved. It wasn't them who did it.

"How could this have caught fire out of the blue"

Bai Yu looked at Fang Jinshu, her face innocent.

"This time it's not me."

"My husband went home because of something, and he hasn't come back yet."

Bai Yu felt it probably wasn't them, so she withdrew her gaze.

The smoke in the auction hall was getting thicker and thicker. Let's leave quickly, or we won't be able to get out if it gets any worse.

Bai Yu guarded Bai Xuan and hurriedly tried to open the door to get out. Fang Jinxiu glanced at the thick smoke on the first floor and quickly pulled the two of them back.

She quietly took out several spare handkerchiefs from her spatial storage, picked up the teapot on the table and pretended to pour water onto them, secretly wetting them with spring water instead.

"Take this, use it to cover your mouth and nose, to reduce the inhalation of smoke."

Bai Yu's eyes lit up, and she took the handkerchief.

Thank you.

Then Fang Jinshu turned and gave Zhao Xingzhou a piece as well.

The masked man didn't think he would have his share, but when he saw a plain and delicate wet handkerchief appear in front of him, he raised his head in surprise.

"Take this, stay close to us. If you lose it, you'll truly die here."

As soon as Fang Jinshu thought the other party might be Li Lie's brother, she couldn't give him a good look.

If not for his use, it would be over.

The masked man hesitated for a moment before taking the handkerchief.

"Thank you, thank you."

"Cover your noses and mouths, get out of here quickly."

Zhao Xingzhou took the lead, surrounding Bai Yu, Bai Xuan, and Fang Jinshu in the middle, with the masked man bringing up the rear.

The five of them followed their memory all the way downstairs. The smoke was so thick that it was suffocating, even though they covered their mouths and noses, their eyes were watering and blurry.

"Hold onto each other tightly and don't get separated. The smoke here is too heavy; if you get lost, you might not be able to get out."

During this time, people kept bumping into them, and Zhao Xingzhou kicked them all away one by one.

Suddenly, Bai Yu felt a dangerous aura approaching, and he instinctively pulled Bai Xuan into his arms.

A flash of silver like a blade passed across his eyelid, and the sound of swords slicing through the air reached his ears.

"Oh no, they're coming right for us! Run!"

Bai Yu only managed to shout once before he pulled Bai Yu away, dodging several attacks by feeling.

In the thick smoke, they could not see each other.

"Young Madam, where are you" Zhao Xingzhou also encountered an opponent on his side, and he worried that Fang Jinxiu would shout loudly.

"Don't worry about me, just keep yourself safe!"

When those people attacked, the five-person formation was thrown into chaos. Even Fang Jinshu's excellent eyesight couldn't pierce through the thick smoke to see their positions. Therefore, she had no choice but to find a place to hide.

She could clearly feel the danger approaching, her heart pounding with both fear and anxiety.

Suddenly, a hand grabbed her wrist.

"Follow me."

Is that the masked man's voice

Fang Jinshui struggled to shake him off, "What do you want to do"

The masked man's voice was somewhat urgent, "Don't be afraid, I won't hurt you."

"I will take you out from the door since you were little."

Fāng Jǐnxiù grabbed him, "I can't go alone, there's Xiǎo Xuān and the others."

The masked man looked a little embarrassed. "But I can't find them anywhere, and I only see you here."

After a fierce battle, Zhao Xingzhou and Bai's siblings had disappeared from the surroundings. Fang Jinxiu hesitated for a moment.

"Come with me, we can't all die here. The smoke is getting worse."

"Ahem!"

Even with a wet cloth soaked in spring water covering the nose and mouth, this could only temporarily block the smoke from being inhaled and couldn't be used as a full-fledged gas mask. Over time, it would become useless.

"Come on, let's go. It's better to get out and find someone to help them than to stay here and die."

The masked man's single sentence instantly awakened Fang Jinshi. When had she become so hesitant and indecisive when facing trouble She could have used that time to run out and seek help.

"Yes, you're right. Let's go find someone quickly."

She immediately got up and followed the man in the mask out.

As soon as they stepped outside, Fang Jinshi rushed towards the entrance frantically. Zongyu wasn't there; she needed to find He Si. As long as they offered enough silver, these servants in the manor would definitely help them rescue someone.

As soon as Fang Jinshu ran to the entrance of the upscale area, she started coughing violently. She had been too anxious when she ran out and had inhaled quite a bit of smoke. After running frantically, her body felt increasingly unwell.

Her lungs had definitely inhaled a lot of smoke, causing her to cough violently and uncontrollably.

No, her vision was starting to blur. This was a sign of brain oxygen deprivation. She couldn't collapse yet, she had to find someone to save Zhao Xingzhou and Xiao Xuan.

She also...

With a thud, Fang Jinshi collapsed to the ground.

"How are you Hey, wake up!"

When Zong Yu arrived at the villa, he saw the guests running out in a panic, each with a look of terror on their faces.

Even more, billowing wisps of gray-black smoke erupted from above the manor. Zongyu felt a sense of foreboding and rushed inside.

"Jinxiu, Jinxiu, where are you"

He dashed into the upscale district like a gust of wind, his brows furrowed so deeply they seemed about to knot together, his eyes burning with anger that threatened to spill over.

If it hadn't been for seeing Fang Jinshu lying on the ground at the door, Zong Yu was afraid that he would have completely lost control of the murderous aura within him today.

"Splendid."

He grabbed the masked man's collar fiercely, pulling him forward with such force that the man struggled to breathe, his face turning crimson.

He didn't ask who he was, only roared a question at him.

Who did it.aten your life.The man's words were like honey, making Fang Jinxiu's heart sweet.For a moment, she couldn't tell who was comforting whom.Next, the conversation between the two became childishly sweet....
