Bai Yu could completely leave easily, but her conscience told her that on account of these mentally ill friends who had been giving support to her for this past month as a fake Emperor, she naturally had to save them if she could!
It was precisely because of this that she could not escape in time and was trapped here in the end.
Hearing Liu Xu's voice, she shouted, "Nephew, I'm here. Come over quickly!"
The location of the mental hospital was mostly remote. By the time the fire department managed to rush over to save them, there would probably not be many people left, so they could only save themselves now.
Moreover, there had been no accidents in the hospital for many years. It was almost expected that the fire prevention measures would slack off. The fire extinguishers on hand had almost expired.
Liu Xu and Lei Yongqi passed through the thick smoke and met up with Bai Yu.
When Lei Yongqi saw the water flowing out of the room, he immediately ran in to wet the blanket and covered the patients with it.
Bai Yu wanted to reach out to help, but Lei Yongqi still treated her as a mental patient. Afraid that she would cause trouble, he hurriedly pressed her back.
"Your Majesty, let's play hide and seek. Hide well!"
As he spoke, he covered her head with a wet blanket.
Bai Yu was a little speechless. 'You're still in the mood to joke with me at such a critical moment?'
However, Lei Yongqi's actions changed Bai Yu's impression of him. This person was still a little responsible after all.
Then, she squatted down obediently. With someone standing up for her, she naturally did not want to expose her true self.
The fire on the third floor was much smaller than on the fourth floor. After all, the third floor was only a fire in the stairwell and did not have much attachment, causing limited smoke. However, the fire on the fourth floor started from the corridor.
When Bai Yu went downstairs, she smelled a strong smell of gasoline. Clearly, someone had ignited a fire with gasoline. The smell on the third floor was much lighter than on the fourth.
Bai Yu did not inhale the thick smoke on the fourth floor, but Liu Xu had inhaled a lot and kept coughing as a result.
She was a little worried. Logically speaking, since she opened the door very quickly, they should have escaped fast. Why were these two down only at such a late timing!
Director Wang brought people to extinguish the fire in the stairwell on the third floor. He immediately saw Bai Yu and Liu Xu and shouted in surprise, "Little Yu, Little Xu!"
When Bai Yu heard his voice, she immediately stood up and shouted, "I'm here!"
The group of them squatted near the window at the end of the corridor, covered in a drenched blanket. They looked comical and disheveled.
Director Wang threw away the fire extinguisher in his hand and waved at everyone, "Hurry up, come over!"
Bai Yu ran the fastest and quickly went downstairs.
Yu Wenjuan quickly ran over and pulled her, asking, "Grand Aunt, how are you? Are you injured?"
"I'm fine! But my eldest nephew seems to be injured!"
Lei Yongqi helped Liu Xu down quickly. Just now, he had seen that Bai Yu ran very quickly and disappeared in the blink of an eye.
The speed at which she ran even made him suspect his own eyes. It was simply too fast.
At this moment, Bai Yu heard the sound of an ambulance. Liu Xu and the others naturally heard it too.
After seeing Bai Yu safe and sound, Liu Xu pretended to faint.
Bai Yu was stunned for a moment before an idea flashed through her mind. She had originally thought that it would be difficult for her to leave after such a huge incident today. Now that she saw Liu Xu faint, she immediately felt that an opportunity had come.
Then, after taking a few steps, she pretended to have a headache and squatted down. In the end, she simply collapsed to the ground.
Lei Yongqi watched in a daze, his eyes wide open, and his entire body numb. If he remembered correctly, this girl was still alive and kicking just now. Even he could not catch up to her speed when she ran, but she had fainted now? Could it be that she had suffered aftereffects because of her explosive potential?
No way! That was only a short distance away. Even if she overdrew on her life, she would not have fainted that quickly!
It was simply ridiculous! It was off the charts!
However, looking at Bai Yu's headache just now, she did not seem to be pretending. Otherwise, her acting skills would be too good. He supported Liu Xu and Yu Wenjuan supported Bai Yu as they carefully moved downstairs.
Director Wang brought the other patients downstairs. When he saw the two unconscious people, he quickly came over to check.
"What's going on?"
Lei Yongqi was speechless. He rubbed his temples and said, "I don't know. They were fine just now, but both of them suddenly fainted!"
He did not know what to say. In short, he felt that something was wrong, but he could not tell what was wrong.
At this moment, the fire had already spread from the fourth floor to the fifth. The fire above the fourth floor was raging, and thick smoke billowed. It looked abnormally terrifying.
Bai Yu felt herself being carried onto a stretcher. A doctor checked her body temperature and pupils. After confirming that she had only fainted, he ignored her.
