Chapter 145

Seeing the caller ID, both of them were momentarily stunned.OuCgsXmcRjMRFgsLWDEwfrqMLSvMjA

Gong Yingxian quickly answered the phone: “Feilan, you…”hGTolFiAvFolVNhXuqINLsdVndPRIL

eJidOobgvSlWWjT

“Dr. Gong, Captain Ren.” A voice on the other end came through, altered by a voice changer, with a strange, mocking tone.aZWJjPiKusXlSGkMRXjTitMfMaeXgp

DGeRwpVFAufurII

Both of them instantly felt a chill run down their spines.UcFQPcdYxsQLKxGejMmHxnhnkWjHuR

pQBFCDTpXrNaqit

They recognized this voice; even though it was altered, it was still traceable back to the original. The timbre, tone, and inflection were all familiar. This voice was the same as the one they heard in the video at the Honglin Sports Center, belonging to—Ziyan.VfxOocJAMlcnXYddhlQODbaJMTkRkG

“Ziyan…” Gong Yingxian said coldly, “You beast, you can’t even spare a group of children.” He had quickly calmed down, shifting from his earlier anxiety. Although this call brought bad news, it also hinted at a possible good one: Gong Feilan was still alive. If Ziyan only intended to kill Gong Feilan, he could have simply shown them the result without risking being tracked by making this call.zMGHjQswWMgbjLamSzBlXzQncINwmz

CWlBEQpVvcehoDR

Ziyan said nonchalantly, “I don’t think you should blame me. You protected Miss Gong too well; it took us a lot of effort to find this opportunity.”BKgNOTNVNEYCtIwuRwQubSbaJEIcTm

eXCIYQWsqfHyVEn

“Is this your belief? To exploit and harm even children? Or are you just scared? Scared that I’m about to uncover the truth from nineteen years ago and drag you out of your hiding place?!”VtCGQSwwQlzQAlhaXDfhGNAAdecrEs

QHIcIQATpIegANV

Ziyan paused, then chuckled softly: “I’ve always wanted to find an opportunity to talk to you again. Last time at the Honglin Sports Center, hmm… I had quite a bit of fun.”jWyFgMpqeEwnIEaRqSbrtHLqcltjhF

HzwztnKvTuwauFs

“You lost.”QSSLxOMBnAACHcdFmpNfSdmARaXwQi

xySEuUkjuwuFzVC

Ziyan’s laughter sounded even more eerie through the voice changer: “Our contest isn’t over yet; it’s too early to declare a winner or a loser.”WEzeXEaHRVuQIroeqGmVcQFbXnBjEE

“Where is my sister? What do you want?”uFJwuriIlIENmVzTSVvnetdKvSjlsd

Ziyan did not answer the question: “Captain Ren, I forgot to greet you, but I know you’ve been having a tough time lately.”UickDXNeKZeWQxpYYWIYYnVJEsPTwh

hGzulxHMnLHtFUq

Ren Yi said in a deep voice, “How do you know I’m on the phone?”DIEkBkHInmnSpLVVUIVBqgkIGTaRqJ

dhOhGthXERcUUTZ

“Because I can see you. Of course, you have to be here, because what’s about to happen is a game for the three of us. As I said, we are bound by fate.”LEsLqyhTpYVefUKDMzgBGnMsdcQFsd

zStUvUlwTduXXuc

Gong Yingxian said sharply, “Where is Gong Feilan? What do you want? Speak.”AUMuqlopEmmThBXjNLCyfoegvIYtDI

kCYvOpdWFVuGfzo

“Dr. Gong, after all this time you’ve spent investigating, what have you actually found?” Ziyan sneered, “If you weren’t so obsessed with the past, many people wouldn’t have to die.”jmQQzcfScEJfSOgBPMmuvtDCwkigGt

oyXqvxbGjzbSSSl

“You’re so eager to cover up the past, even going so far as to kill and silence people, and sending your followers to prison and hell—what’s it all for? Am I getting too close to the truth, right?”jsoEtyDaNgLHvnxPRAqmdCesvqajgz

JWyLrXKeczrhIJO

Ziyan laughed heartily: “Truth? You have no idea what you’re up against. You will regret this. Your sister is still in the cold storage; I don’t know how much longer she can hold on.”JmjIEheFYMWGtpApidsoISmSyfMFGD

jnvWaduzXGkkuFH

Ren Yi shouted, “I’ve been in the cold storage before. We’ve rescued many people from there and didn’t find her. Are you messing with us?!”cHeISpPGQPwNAPtusAWyPKpqOgCitw

kBEwfVYrkYqCvOR

Ziyan chuckled, “You didn’t find her because she’s in the refrigeration room.”ojZaDbkfIKwegZFQiVrKMHmSLCFmSK

AfpLswMEkJDVBLy

A sinister look appeared on Ren Yi’s face.IgnJWPkbZznpgIWfbpqtrkWCCOiidA

ShKIbCCGvsPBZMP

The temperature in the cold storage wasn’t much lower than the early spring temperature, so entering in their current clothing was bearable. But the refrigeration room’s temperature could be adjusted, potentially dropping to several degrees below zero.FYBeFjyiAxtFKTSqkKGRmiKKABIWad

“You beast…”zLpcRozWnvTiuBfVcIGkZFGjWlbFjD

pzHnohOzCKPxYhE

“But listen carefully, if you organize others to rescue her, Miss Gong will die immediately. She’s not alone in there; only the two of you can go in, and you can’t tell anyone.”ANyIBxdXFydYpyeWQYiQUQgiOAuXIC

sOreKrzjirNSLwf

“This is your trap.” Ren Yi clenched his fists.VJMKecIkMTSwzwRshlSQxgApgzxAUq

Ziyan laughed, “Yes, will you jump in?”AWpqheQEmHqldxatxYnQCwytCGZDrx

Gong Yingxian said coldly, “Ziyan, I will catch you, along with all your followers. I will make you regret everything you’ve done!”YUjeWaCLYfQOJYYwqHkgTpVnkViuvi

eqayWYIkUghnkek

Ziyan lazily replied, “Alright, Miss Gong doesn’t have much time left. Now, do as I say. I’ve been monitoring all radio channels and cameras on site, including factory surveillance and dash cams. Now you need to throw away your phones and guns, and walk directly to the white restroom to the west. There’s a set of equipment inside. During this time, you are not allowed to communicate with anyone. After you’re dressed, go straight into the cold storage; the refrigeration room is in the southwest corner, and you can find it by feeling along the wall. If I find you trying to play tricks, you will bear the consequences.”aPSWwlobtMWDkiUZQaJcKxJlyZMmgr

Ren Yi and Gong Yingxian exchanged glances, each pulling out their phones and guns, tossing them into a flowerbed, and then heading towards the restroom.TaduQudDPCvYWOJEoYavvsEtZzMkur

dbrKbigxWRdOCwh

The scene was already chaotic, with firefighters, paramedics, students, and factory workers bustling about, and their actions went unnoticed.kmGXgCWtSzAJEJDUpmWeDWVXDWSZSa

GESpyDDYsZinude

Inside the restroom, they indeed found a set of firefighting rescue gear, identical to what Ren Yi was wearing.pMOHRYNrdnLxSLksFRdCtOeYGgZdTy

Ren Yi silently helped Gong Yingxian put on the gear.zKiouKuheCMAgYUFOcGzaIPZGGIHxs

Once equipped, the two exchanged glances, and Gong Yingxian softly said, “I don’t know what will happen once we go in.”OKAJZNYgPbaTjqVwROucINNUkTfQTY

Ren Yi smiled, “I don’t know either, but being with you, I’m not afraid at all.”BzWNtjcVlUdjULlCMxGUJutOfofMiY

Gong Yingxian said, “I just dialed Sister Yan’s number while throwing away my phone; she’s on her way here. She will notice something’s wrong. Now, let’s go save Feilan together.”yerrSEDINbnbHKxlnEymNSnuEtzArr

lzNhpFGQZjTMvYZ

Ren Yi nodded, “Our mission isn’t over; we will definitely rescue Feilan!”EzbyuRLRZtyQHItRORNBzgPzQHiZkh

Gong Yingxian put on his mask, and the two headed towards the cold storage.dRvZQkVUobJHkcYMtBlsuqSKvJgOAy

HJAxoggpKgUvLyc

At this moment, the fire in the cold storage had been effectively controlled, but due to the liquid ammonia inside not having fully leaked out, several small explosions had already occurred. Although the smoke extraction openings had played a certain role, the smoke inside remained thick.kCqiOvAomqGPYzmjACmiFXPglpBGLs

zHvlsySspDmLbsQ

Firefighters continued to enter and exit the cold storage, searching for victims, while Ren Yi and Gong Yingxian, wearing masks, moved towards the cold storage.IGoWGzYIBlAmkenfVTCrtssYlrepfr

As they were about to enter, a soldier shouted, “Wait, which team are you from? Wear the guiding rope.”UKKnXlxOPJBuqyampvrXqSGNijkTnV

cHCKwQkMhzZIreW

“Xijiao Team,” Ren Yi replied.fJterbgYzUbLYupfjBCNEzfrFbVcDN

jqYXVJDVOPvPGlH

He hoped Yan Jue would soon notice his unusual situation; no matter what they faced inside, having someone come to rescue them would give them more hope.nOuMSruLyrEjjvALaviTDWptZUAEIV

omVclBKNnFVRiSq

The two quickly dove into the thick smoke, feeling their way along the wall, and after a few minutes, they successfully found the refrigeration room.laRRAhWUaepTVRErUxhwWepUrgeENd

VQfSEBoikiyJpUR

This room was the hub for liquid ammonia, connected to large liquid ammonia storage tanks outside and all the ammonia pipelines inside the cold storage, allowing for overall and zoned temperature control.ERuxdyCItlFpZPKdqUkGEvgXWcfRiz

LUkvmkAvGgsYuSC

Initially, when the valves were closed to cut off the supply, the liquid ammonia had been stopped from flowing into the cold storage from the outside, but there was still likely a significant amount of liquid ammonia in the refrigeration room.NbsAplVOhtuqfarrShlBxqsnxTjkUN

xvsuqQcaqbeOALF

The room had a half-glass structure, and due to the temperature difference caused by the fire, a thick layer of frost had formed on the glass, created by water vapor repeatedly condensing. From the outside, one could not see inside at all; if one passed through the thick fog, they might not even realize there was an independent space here, so no one came to search and rescue.cKcMxewHYEYjrdSjLEYzONMAyqCsKR

jooucJOURdhGuxu

They hurriedly opened the door to the room and were shocked to find Gong Feilan unconscious at the control panel.VMhLLwiSpHxXlMSWSKTXDUNwafMBhR

wHbswOAsweuoKCX

“Feilan!” Gong Yingxian rushed into the room, and Ren Yi followed closely.nwOTxddhNarSDodYgGrdiiKWKbKGOs

bfzylVHEAvlquTt

Gong Yingxian trembled as he picked up Gong Feilan, realizing she was still alive, and his heart, which had been hanging in the air, finally settled slightly. Ren Yi checked her briefly and sighed in relief: “It seems she hasn’t been hurt much. The liquid ammonia hasn’t leaked here; being locked in here actually protected her. We need to hurry and…”YElrCRghhwYhYmtyQUQrcCjzAYXUKW

sjLgMdTwxSymkgG

Suddenly, a creaking sound came from behind them, followed by a loud bang as the door to the room was slammed shut from the outside.SJuGjNqwYSbDsmwIQaMnggQGCHnNGi

UXEpnhIRKUVNFnI

Both of them were instantly horrified!ELyzViORDOYcJpgoIrnUHvVdgUtqqt

jSQibnQOSRVEiFw

Ren Yi rushed over and pushed against the door with all his might, but it was locked from the outside and wouldn’t budge!mHVjqxfHZvXnDZuQzVuhTvBovugsLk

GSGBwQDISHDdlGL

Gong Yingxian also ran over, trying to find a way to open it from the inside.tlcEoKeNOlItiVDrAUuqyzWSzZsJSo

xxXqJyhPhPuWafO

Suddenly, there were three knocks on the glass wall beside them.nFqIJTRgKLXOgUKCRmpLjBZZhJtOtV

MfjqIlddtioRTAL

Each knock struck at their hearts.ACgtUOiCnNUHDFiztHdqacGUNYoAnJ

FnhfDngiHtBqhfg

Ren Yi took a deep breath and forcefully wiped away the thick frost that had formed on the glass.zIBRAVhFtVoxghkpqrsJbScrrqmcyg

uTFOnDXoXByGoLX

A person wearing a mask and a chemical protective suit stood outside the glass.pfjbRbSvNYWmoRRpJkXkNuNfphPscI

AxCqmOhhxlhTOMj

Even though the mask covered most of his face, Ren Yi recognized him at a glance—it was Fang Zhixu.YysKrZgkGgvGUCjwEUAUhJriLjxEUL

xpZpBIgLCtkrmqr

Ren Yi pounded the glass wall with a fist: “Bastard, what do you want?!”ylRMUWSWjXkACLqKKTztmcrLaMnoab

Fang Zhixu waved his hand at Ren Yi: “Captain Ren, I know you are innocent. I know what kind of person you are.”hySWpmEUKpFTZebnIvfGPcrcNvTaHh

hEtDxladukzqRFn

“Let us out!” Ren Yi shouted, “Did you start the fire? Do you know what you’ve done? Do you know how many people you’ve harmed?”ukwYLfcYcGwyTuxUIIoUiToFmkutQe

NJsekvfELFrnOTz

“It doesn’t matter anymore. They might be part of that group, people who hurt others without understanding the situation. I saw you being falsely accused by so many people; do you know how sad and angry that made me?” Fang Zhixu looked deeply at Ren Yi, “You are at fault too. Why did you let them catch you with such a handle? You have always been a perfect hero in my heart, but you also disappointed me. Everything in this world is disappointing.”lbdkQiWBKDNFQKoKAhgjVUtuydoSta

bdcrAvJFUaPtbKw

Gong Yingxian said in a deep voice, “Fang Zhixu, you chose to deify an ordinary person. Now that this ordinary person has stepped down from the pedestal, it is not his fault. You say you believe Ren Yi is innocent, yet you also say you are disappointed in him. Your mind is clearly not clear; do you know what you are doing?”IUfcUkRcOMCwGFgVQbnmlVzrJQUkXJ

oQUoJPPqRGEHIhI

“I know,” Fang Zhixu said earnestly. “When I say I’m disappointed in you, it doesn’t mean I don’t believe in you. It’s just that you shouldn’t be like this. You shouldn’t be scolded by those people; you shouldn’t be punished. They don’t deserve to treat you that way. You are a heroic firefighter; you shouldn’t be treated like this.”UXDBbmXxJqFKIvBjgaFmyWkEJsMiFC

TmgsSMAlvMpSLqB

“I can prove my innocence; this has nothing to do with you. Let us out quickly!”xDuqTwSzEGHcovEPOXXGNfjuxqsWJS

ogOhoMJzvEZsmgu

“This certainly has something to do with me; perhaps I’m the only one thinking of you.” Fang Zhixu smiled faintly, “Do you know? When Squad Leader Sun sacrificed himself, I was actually very angry. He completely took away the honor that belonged to you. You are the one who should be mourned by everyone, the one who should be immortal. I thought you still had a lot of time; you would definitely prove yourself. But now it’s too late. You have been splashed with bucket after bucket of dirty water. I must help you wash it clean. I want to give you a heroic ending that shines brighter than Squad Leader Sun and everyone else.” A sickly fervor rose in his eyes.eagTlSOnITQjDKxDSAbyAlcvJUtnxt

EJCTuvQcFZxLtVy

Ren Yi’s body began to tremble, not just because of Fang Zhixu, but because he felt the temperature dropping. Fang Zhixu must have just damaged the pipes in the room, causing the liquid ammonia to start leaking. If they couldn’t leave here, they would either suffocate or freeze to death. What do you want to do?!”gTzchGekRTJqxYFgcejBpBJpYayXRa

BeCiOaAlqcvKnCQ

“Even while bearing many unjust accusations, sacrificing heroically to save students, your deeds will surely become the hottest headline of the year.” Fang Zhixu’s eyes sparkled, “Especially with this rise after a fall effect, everyone will feel guilty, everyone will speak up for you, everyone will remember you, respect you. You will become a hero of this country, and you will receive countless praises.” The more he spoke, the more excited he became, “Isn’t this the best ending for a firefighter?”gURMBtpLTvvMlxhvlFCJwNIgiqvZaf

ZcZyOBEwSbZHqiR

“You’ve gone mad!” Gong Yingxian shouted, “You’ve been brainwashed by Ziyan. This is all his arrangement; he is using you, do you know that?!”bODueEiawAniRaHCvEMoMmRyXwuQrW

kxnVqgDWXnTrasS

“But he also helped me realize my ideals.” Fang Zhixu leaned closer to the glass wall, gazing at Ren Yi, smiling, “Captain Ren, you will always be my idol. Sacrifice like a hero.”SIGTgdUxgYaeqcVmJXVwVacQyywDMO

qfXgryNzdntBjHE

After saying this, he took a few steps back, turned, and quickly disappeared into the thick smoke.xOysuVqgAeWtNWpJsiVNodgzJTIspC
