Chapter 427 - A Big Blast

After saving Hannah, Zhen-Zhen moved her to a safer spot where the rescuer could see her easily. She just used short-distance teleportation. 

She couldn't bring her outside since there were lots of people there and Hannah would be surprised once she woke up. It's better to make her believe that the firefighters were the ones who rescued her.

Hannah was on the verge of losing her consciousness when Zhen-Zhen saved her so she was not sure if Hannah had seen her action or even recognized her at that time. 

She would just worry about it later, besides there's still a little girl whom she needed to save from this raging fire. She didn't want to make her worry too much so she went back to the comfort room where the young girl was waiting for her.

Before leaving her moments ago, Zhen-Zhen put up an invisible barrier around the girl's spot to ensure her safety from the raging fire. She also did the same to Hannah's location. She put a barrier to protect her from the fire.

She waited for the responders to see and rescue Hannah first before she returned to the young girl's location. 

After a few seconds, the responder finally noticed Hannah who was lying unconscious on the floor. They immediately rushed to her spot and carried her, bringing her out of the burning building of the restaurant. 

When she made sure that Hannah was rescued successfully, Zhen-Zhen decided to return to the Comfort Room. However, before she could take a step, her vision became blurry. Zhen-Zhen suddenly felt dizzy.

Meanwhile, outside, Tristan, Hannah's colleagues, and the family of the young girl were still waiting for the rescuer who entered the building.

Their eyes were fixed on the front door of the restaurant, hoping to see the rescuer saving their friend and loved ones. It did not take long when the rescuers stepped out of the restaurant, one was carrying a woman in his arms.

Tristan's heart was racing rapidly inside his c.h.e.s.t. 'Is that my wife?'

The medics quickly approached the rescuers, bringing the victim in the ambulance to treat her and apply first aid. Tristan, Hannah's colleagues, and the young girl's parents ran to the ambulance to check the person who was rescued by the firefighters.

Hannah's colleagues felt relieved after confirming that it was Hannah. However, Tristan and the young girl's parents became more anxious and petrified knowing that Zhen-Zhen and their daughter were still inside the building.

The investor and his wife started to beg the responders to rescue their daughter.

"Please save our daughter! We will pay you! You can ask us anything! Just save our precious daughter! My princess!" the investor didn't know what to do. He felt helpless and desperate.

Tristan could understand their feelings because he was feeling the same way. He wanted to see his wife safe and sound.

"My wife… she's still there as well!" Tristan mumbled.

The investor glanced at Tristan. Since he was busy worrying about his daughter he failed to recognize Tristan moments agon.

"CEO Davis? You are also here?" The middle-aged man finally noticed Tristan's presence.

"Yes, Mr. Ford. My wife and I were having our dinner in this restaurant. She's also inside the building."

The firefighters exchanged glances with one another before the team leader spoke up to Tristan and the young girl's parents.

"Maám, Sirs, I would like to apologize but we couldn't proceed further. There are ongoing blasts and explosions happening inside. It's dangerous for my men to continue searching for them. It will cost them their lives as well."

"I'm sorry but we have to stop and distinguish the fire. That's what we can do now." The officer felt apologetic towards them. He could understand their feelings but he couldn't risk his men's lives now.

It did not take long when she fainted. Her heart couldn't take this anymore. Fortunately, her husband was able to catch her. The medics also responded to the investor's wife who fell unconscious.

"Honey, wake up. Get a grip of yourself!" The investor tried tapping his wife's face.

Tristan clenched his fists and gritted his teeth. He won't just stay still and do nothing while his wife was in danger.

"If you can't do that, then let me do it myself. Let me borrow your protective gear! I will be the one who will search for my wife. I will look for her inside!" Tristan yelled at them, holding the officer at his collar.

"Me too! Let me save my daughter!" The investor also insisted.

"No sir! We can't allow that. You are both civilians. We must make sure to keep you safe. Our trained firefighter had already assessed the situation. It's not safe to enter the building now!" The officer firmly refused them.

"Sirs, please don't make things more difficult for us. Please listen and just cooperate with us. If you will insist then we will have no choice but to detain you for the time being. We will not allow you to put yourselves in danger as well." He warned them.

Tristan and the investor were still having arguments with the officer when they heard another explosion. It was a big blast and there was no way someone would survive that.

Tristan and the investor felt terrified watching the scene in front of them. The investor fell on his knees as his hope was crushed into tiny pieces. "My daughter… my beloved daughter… Nooooooo!"

He froze in his spot. He lost his ability to speak. He was very devastated right now. His feelings could not be described in just simple words. His lifeless empty eyes were just staring blankly at the burning building. 'My wife… my Zhen-Zhen…'
