CHAPTER 228: CHAPTER 228: JIN CITY FIRE DEPARTMENT (2)

Nan Xi specifically chose a hotel farthest from Ping’an District. She thought that if the Ping’an District fire brigade had to be deployed, then the accident must have occurred in Ping’an District.

For Lin Xiaoyan’s safety, she needed to ensure that everything was safe over there.

After checking into the hotel, Lin Xiaoyan and Nan Xi entered the room. The first thing Nan Xi did was search the room to ensure there were no hidden cameras, putting her mind at ease.

Nan Xi contacted someone to handle the matter, while Lin Xiaoyan exercised a bit.

...

At this moment, Qian Yi had already returned to the team, still pondering over what had happened at the restaurant earlier.

Today, he had indeed been pressured by his mother to go on a blind date, so he had obediently gone.

However, the blind date said she hoped he would change his job...

Upon hearing that, he immediately rejected it.

Becoming a firefighter was his lifelong dream ever since he was young!

Having finally achieved his dream, how could he give up!

Yet what did the blind date say? She said...

"I don’t want to face a cold home alone every day after getting married!"

"I also don’t want to live in constant worry about my husband’s safety!"

"I absolutely don’t want to go for prenatal checkups and give birth alone when I’m pregnant!"

"And if we have children in the future, even though my child can proudly say their dad is a firefighter, my child might grow up without a father’s presence..."

In short, hearing what the blind date had to say, although he somewhat agreed, he couldn’t abandon his dream just because of that.

"Xiao Qian, how was the blind date?"

"Xiao Qian is back? Come, help me figure out how to handle this!"

"Hey Xiao Qian, was your blind date pretty today? How did it go?"

"Wow, Xiao Qian has a blind date and here I am, still single with no one to introduce me to anyone. Sigh~"

...

As soon as Qian Yi returned to the team, everyone was chasing him for details on today’s blind date.

They were the Ping’an District fire brigade with only twenty-three members. Though small, they had undertaken many missions together and shared a deep bond.

After all, they ate, lived, and trained together, facing only each other every day.

"Don’t mention it, it didn’t work out." Qian Yi said with regret.

The team leader saw Qian Yi’s expression and patted his shoulder, "It’s alright, you’re young. I’ll mention it to your sister-in-law and have her introduce someone suitable to you if she meets them."

Upon hearing this, Qian Yi waved his hands quickly, "No need, no need, captain. I’m still young; I’m not thinking about marriage yet!"

The people around laughed and said, "Don’t say you’re still young; we used the same excuse, and now, we’re not young anymore but still unmarried!"

"Yeah, right! While you still look youthful, lock it down quickly, or else you’ll be like an old cucumber... and they’ll resent you!"

"Exactly, that’s how it is!"

"Most importantly, do you find her pleasing to the eye? If so, go for it boldly!"

"With blind dates, there’s naturally no emotional foundation. But emotions grow over time, so meet often, hang out, and if it feels right, continue; if not, just let it go."

"Xiao Qian..."

Listening to everyone’s words, Qian Yi felt warm inside, and unconsciously, the girl outside Uncle Hao’s restaurant popped into his mind...

"Alright, training time, hurry up to training!" The captain looked at the time and cut everyone off.

Upon hearing time for training, everyone quickly straightened their attire and marched to the training ground with their heads held high.

At the same moment, the mayor of Jin City received a notification, informing him that a major explosion with heavy casualties was expected to happen in Jin City tonight...

When the mayor heard this, his heart leapt. He subconsciously checked the caller ID to confirm it wasn’t a scam call.

"Uhm... is this information confirmed? Where did you get it from?"

However, the other side only had three words in response, "Special Investigation Bureau."

The mayor’s heart sank.

"Who was it foreseen by?" The mayor asked persistently.

"Lin Xiaoyan"

Upon hearing the name, the mayor felt unfamiliar, not remembering anyone by that name in the Special Investigation Bureau.

The person on the other side guessed the mayor’s thoughts and quickly recounted Lin Xiaoyan’s achievements over the past six months.

Listening to the involvement of this person in the anti-crime operation in Southern Province a few days ago, the mayor’s heart skipped a beat.

"Lin Xiaoyan’s superpower is to foresee impending disasters.

The message has been delivered; the choice is yours." With those words, the call was cut off.

After the call ended, the Jin City mayor sat down in deep thought.

If this matter turned out to be true, it could potentially affect his career.

Thinking of the possibility of his career being halted, his gaze turned sharp, and with a grit of his teeth, he began making arrangements over the phone.

For now, they didn’t know the exact location of the impending explosion, so they could only prepare in other places.

In the evening, all major firefighting teams in Jin City received a notification.

Everyone sprang into action to prepare for what was to come.

At seven o’clock in the evening, a large warehouse in Jin City suddenly glowed with flames...

"Ring, ring, ring"

"Hello, may I help you?"

"Hello, is this the fire department? We have a fire here; come put it out quickly!"

"Please specify the location of the fire, what is burning, and the extent of the fire..."

"Ring, ring, ring..." In the Ping’an District fire station, the emergency bell rang.

Everyone swiftly donned their gear and rushed out.

"Old He, you’re not going; you stay on duty in the station!"

Old He, with a reddened face, tightly grasped the car door, "Please, let me go!"

The captain sternly ordered, "Get down; you have a cold and fever today. Originally, you had a day off and didn’t need to go on duty."

Seeing this, others quickly added, "Yeah, you stay on duty. What if something happens."

Hearing this, Old He had no choice but to let go and get off the vehicle.

He stood there, watching the fire trucks leave one by one.

"Come back safe!"

"Absolutely!"

The fire trucks soon arrived at the scene. Qian Yi and the others, seeing the towering flames, felt a chill and realized it would be a tough battle tonight!

"What are you standing there for? Get ready to put out the fire!" the captain shouted loudly.

The captain called over the warehouse staff to ask if there were any hazardous materials inside. The staff didn’t know, but they did provide the warehouse owner’s phone number.

The captain immediately called, and when the warehouse owner heard about the fire, he was startled!

Ultimately, he said through gritted teeth, "Rest assured; there are no hazardous materials inside. Please extinguish the fire as soon as possible. Thank you."

Meanwhile, the mayor received a call confirming the fire’s location.

He immediately issued an order, instructing all fire, police, medical, and armed personnel to head to the fire scene.

In the hotel, Lin Xiaoyan felt a bit anxious, scrolling through local Douyin in hopes of finding news online about the night’s events.

Suddenly, she came across a news item, "Sister Nan, look!"

Nan Xi walked over and saw the message, furrowing her brows, "Absurd!"

The news read that flight C0158 from a Sea City airline heading to H Province crashed at 6:05...
