It took a while before the smell of smoke eased a little. Zhi Luan took a look around what was left of the restaurant and sighed. This place thrived with customers earlier today and everything was intact a couple of hours ago. Now it was reduced to ashes beyond recognition. Zhi Luan was pained at the sight, and more so for Yan Qincheng.
“I’ll see what can be salvaged from this. You should go home and rest.”
Zhi Luan stated.
But Yan Qincheng refused,
“I’m not leaving. I can’t sleep after all that has happened… I might as well help out.”
Zhi Luan said nothing more and they both started digging through the rubble.
It was 3 am and Zhi Luan and Yan Qincheng kept digging through the rubble until Yan Qincheng’s phone rang.
“Zhi Luan, it’s the hospital. Old man Shen is awake.”
Given that they had to take him to the hospital, Zhi Luan thought the old man’s condition was severe. But hearing that he was awake, Zhi Luan was relieved.
