Since the Crown Prince was checking out the fire, those who were secretly protecting him had to follow.

Official Liu was panicking. He was surprised to see Xie Pinggang.

He was a minor official too, so he did not recognize the Crown Prince. However, he was pretty familiar with Xie Pinggang. He asked without waiting for Xie Pinggang to say anything upon noticing his caring expression, "Brother Xie, it's terrible. People from the fire patrol are inside. We can't go in, and the people in there can't get out. Doomed, we're doomed!"

Xie Pinggang's eyelids twitched. "My buddies are in there too?"

"They are. The fire seemed serious at first, but it could still be put out. However, something happened, and there's black smoke all of a sudden. And then… There's a cloud absorbing the water like a dragon above. How can we put out the fire now!?" Official Liu's voice was filled with despair.

Even if he did not lose his job, he would be demoted.
