Chapter 140 Explosion At The Building

Ye Sijue barged in looking very serious.

Shocked, Mu Xia stood up. "You…"

"There's an explosion, hurry up and get out of here!" He grabbed her hand and ran away as fast as he could.

The people at the dressing room were stunned for a second and then scrambled out of the place at once.

By the time Mu Xia got out of the dressing room with Ye Sijue, there was chaos everywhere and flames were seen blazing from the stairwell.

"Gasoline! Someone spilled gasoline!" A staff screamed at the top of his lungs as he ran past the dressing room.

While running toward to exit, Mu Xia asked Ye Sijue, "What's going on? Is this a prank?"

Before he could answer, his phone rang. It was Luo Yi.

He answered the call. A nervous Luo Yi spoke over the phone, ["Jue'er! Where are you? That dude escaped, leaving a note behind which says stop wasting effort because it's doomsday for us."]

["Okay, make a police report now. There's an explosion here at Situ Group."]

["What? An explosion? Darn it! It must have been those who helped that dude escape. They knew you're there, and… Are you all right? We're on our way."]

["Don't worry, I'm okay for now. I'll hang up now."] Ye Sijue continued running as he updated Mu Xia, "It's not a prank, but an attack. Hurry up!"

She did not ask further. Holding his hand tightly, she quickened her steps.

When they were about ten meters away from the main entrance, they realized that the crowd stopped moving.

"What's happening? How do we get out?" Ye Sijue asked fiercely.

Hóngmó approached them, crying breathlessly, "The entrance… It's locked. None of us can get out of here. The fire is spreading fast. Nobody knows if there will be more explosions. Young Master Ye, Ms. Mu, are we going to die here?"

Mu Xia released Ye Sijue's hand and held Hóngmó's hand to comfort her. "Rest assured that we won't die here. If the entrance is locked, then break it open!"

「When there's a will, there's a way. I'm not going to die today, not here, not now.」

She asked Hóngmó to stay on the spot while Ye Sijue and her squeezed themselves through the crowd to get to the entrance.

There were a few security guards trying to pry the door open. A few desperate employees even lifted the stool and smashed it on the glass door.

To their dismay, no matter how hard each person tried, the seemingly fragile glass doors showed no signs of damage.

One of the security guards even tossed away the tool in his hand and lamented hopelessly, "It's useless… After the terrorist attack in another country two years ago, the glass doors in our company have all been replaced with A-grade tempered glass which is harder than diamond. Even a bomb can't break it, let alone the chair."

Mu Xia walked toward the security guard and reprimanded him, "Don't utter anything negative! How is this door shut tight? With a lock? If so, pick it."

Dejected, the guard shook his head. "It's not so simple. This is a smart door. I've tried it a few times at the security room just now. The smart system has been destroyed and it can't detect anything. There's no way we can open it…"

Ye Sijue interrupted, "Where's the security room?"

The guard revered Ye Sijue and pointed at the floor above them without any further ado. "It's the first room on the first floor…"

Ye Sijue nodded and informed Mu Xia, "Someone must have modified the program. Stay here, I'll go and take a look."

"No, I'll go with you!"

"Don't take the risk. Stay here!"
