Chapter 1072 - The So-Called Political Tactics (1/2)

The following day, Wen Xinya was awoken by a call from Zhou Tianyu in which she rambled on and asked her to follow the news regarding yesterday’s fire incident online.

Wen Xinya massaged her exhausted head helplessly. She had been tortured by nightmares for half of last night and was shaken awake early in the morning today—anyone would feel vexed.

She bore with the twitching veins on her forehead, switched on her phone, and logged in.

Capital City had not seen a fire incident in many years. Thus, yesterday’s fire attracted the attention of all circles in society. The fire started at 7:15 P.M., burnt for an hour, before being put out at around 9 P.M. Due to the swift reaction and efficiency of the firefighters in putting out the fire, up till now, there had not been any deaths. Instead, there were twenty-odd people who were injured in varying degrees and were recuperating in the hospital at the moment. As a whole, such a circumstance was considered okay.

Since last night, the affected departments had already started searching the scene for evidence and interrogated the staff in the building to investigate the source of the fire. At the moment, the result of the investigation was out—this fire wasn’t malicious.

And although this fire came on fiercely, it hadn’t caused too severe consequences, which was rather comforting.

Suddenly, a forwarded post appeared before her eyes.

Wen Xinya instinctively clicked it open. The heading of the post was: “A Mysterious Lizard Prince Charming at the Fire Scene!!!”

It was accompanied by a video in which Si Yiyan’s silhouette—slim, strong, well-built, and full of explosive power—climbed upstairs. Then, with a fearless poise, he dived into the flames. The short 40 seconds video attracted the mad following of many users. Although Si Yiyan’s face wasn’t clear, his gorgeous and cool poise captured everyone’s attention.

Wen Xinya was suddenly stunned.

Only then did she know that Si Yiyan actually braved such a danger to save her. She was indescribably touched, angry, and thankful at the same time. She was aware of Si Yiyan’s ailment—to breath in heavy smog was courting death. Fortunately, his ailment didn’t act up and he was alright.

Wen Xinya saved this video into her phone and felt a weird sense of soreness in her heart.

After tidying herself up briefly, Wen Xinya went to the living room.

Grampy was sitting on the chess seat fumbling with the chess pieces. The golden rays of the sunlight peered through the trees, into the house through the window in a scattered manner, and onto Grampy, making him seem even more majestic.

Wen Xinya sat down with a huge smile. “Grampy, it’s no fun playing chess alone. Why don’t I play with you!”

Grampy always pitted his left hand against his right hand in chess, splitting his thoughts into two against each other. Such a capability was something that even Si Yiyan proclaimed was beyond his ability.

Recently, she had improved leaps and bounds in her chess and shouldn’t lose as badly to Grampy as the other time.

Old Mr. Mo glanced at her mildly and said, “What’s the matter with the fire yesterday?”

This morning, not long after he got up, Old Du had called. He mentioned the fire at the club last night and also how Xinya risked her life to save Du Ruo—he was full of gratitude towards Xinya.

Only then did he know that Xinya was also involved in the fire in the Capital City last night. At that time, he got a shock. However, fortunately, Mother He said that when Xinya came back last night, she was in good condition without any injuries or abnormalities. Otherwise, how could he have sat there so calmly?

Wen Xinya hurriedly said, “Last night, I was supposed to be having fun with Zhou Tianyu and the rest in the club. However, a fire broke out. Thankfully, it was nothing major but a scare. As I didn’t want Grampy to worry, I didn’t tell you.”
