Chapter 3 Rescuing People, Old Gu?
Shen Lang strode forward, glanced around, and grabbed the uniformed administrator.
He quickly asked, "Do you have a spare key to room 307?"
The building manager, a man in his forties, looked somewhat bewildered as someone grabbed his shoulder. After a moment's thought, he shook his head and said, "For ease of management, some residents leave a spare key at the management office. The resident of room 307 didn't!"
His voice was confident, indicating that he knew whether he had a spare key.
Shen Lang looked up at the increasingly thick black smoke billowing from the window, then let go and quickly walked towards the stairwell.
After taking only a few steps, I noticed out of the corner of my eye that the administrator was following behind me. I turned around and asked, "What are you doing following me?"
The administrator swallowed hard and hurriedly said, "I... I'll go with you to rescue them."
His fists were clenched as he spoke, and his rough face showed tension; he was clearly still very scared.
Shen Lang acknowledged the administrator's sense of responsibility, shaking his head and laughing, "You only make a few dollars a month, why are you working yourself to the bone!"
He then pointed to the residents who were running out of the apartment building and said, "Quickly evacuate the people at the entrance, otherwise the firefighters won't be able to get in!"
"Okay, okay!" The administrator nodded and hurriedly turned around and ran to the gate to direct the clearing of a passage.
Otherwise, the main entrance will be crowded with people, and the fire brigade's vehicles will be stuck outside.
Shen Lang took a deep breath and rushed into the apartment, grabbing a handkerchief from a wealthy woman to cover his mouth and nose, and ran to the third floor as fast as he could.
As soon as I turned the corner, I saw a thick plume of smoke billowing out from under the door of room 307.
Without hesitation, Shen Lang ran quickly to the door of room 307 and kicked it hard.
boom!
With a kick, the thick door was also kicked open.
This is largely thanks to the fact that three generations of the Shen family have been police officers, so he has been training his body under his father's supervision since childhood.
Although he doesn't know any martial arts, his physical abilities are absolutely top-notch; he can take on three people at once when fighting!
If you didn't have a great body, how could you have an iron kidney to go to the dance hall every day?
As the door opened, a wave of heat hit you, making it hard to open your eyes.
The furniture that was placed there has been engulfed by flames, and the flames are spreading outwards.
In the corner, a five- or six-year-old child was huddled up, his innocent face filled with fear and helplessness.
Shen Lang quickly assessed that the fire was too intense for one person to extinguish. With a distance of ten meters, as long as he acted quickly, there would be enough time to rescue the child.
Gritting his teeth, he crouched low and rushed in without hesitation.
He rushed to the corner in a few strides, knelt down, and comforted her, "Don't be afraid, uncle will get you out of here!"
Shen Lang didn't have time to say anything more. He picked up the child and ran outside.
Just as they were about to rush out, the cabinet against the wall, which had been burning, tilted and collapsed with a crash, blocking the exit of the door.
The overturned cabinet blocked half of the door, making it impossible to climb over while it was burning.
Shen Lang frowned, startled by the sudden turn of events.
With the main exit blocked, we have no choice but to find another way out.
Although one bedroom was not yet on fire, the thick smoke could cause suffocation.
Given the efficiency of the Republican era, by the time the fire brigade arrived, it would be too late.
You have to rely on yourself for everything!
Shen Lang glanced at the rapidly spreading fire and knew that time was running out.
Without further hesitation, she pulled out her belt and tied the child to her arms.
Then he quickly rushed to the kitchen, opened the window, and climbed out.
Grasp the drainpipe with both hands and carefully move it down.
Holding a child in her arms made every movement incredibly difficult.
"Look, there's someone over there!"
"It's the house that caught fire!"
"Someone's climbed down! Go help!"
"..."
Upon seeing this, several burly men from the crowd in the distance immediately ran over.
Several people stood below, raising their hands to carefully help.
"Phew!"
The moment Shen Yi's right foot touched the ground, she breathed a sigh of relief.
She glanced down at the well-behaved child in her arms and smiled reassuringly, "It's alright now."
As soon as the leather straps binding them were untied, a woman in her early thirties, dressed in a stylish cheongsam, pounced on them.
She hugged the child anxiously and asked, "Chenchen~ Chenchen, are you alright?"
"Mommy~!" The child rushed into the woman's arms and burst into tears.
The woman held her child tightly, tears streaming down her face.
I was just out buying groceries when I came back to find my house on fire. I was so anxious that I wanted to go upstairs to save my child, but my neighbor stopped me.
Seeing my child safe and sound has finally brought me back to life after a near breakdown.
Shen Lang watched the mother and son reunite, and a relieved smile appeared on his face.
Just as I was about to leave, a blinding light suddenly shone down.
A man wearing a long robe and vest was taking pictures of them with a camera.
The bright light we just saw was produced by the burning of magnesium powder.
Upon seeing the other person looking over, he hurriedly explained, "I am a reporter from Shen Bao. I just witnessed your rescue and wanted to publish it as news material."
"A reporter?" Shen Lang blinked, a look of surprise on his face.
He swallowed back the words he was about to say about "who took the photos without permission," and instead put on a warm smile.
At this time, becoming famous for saving lives would be entirely beneficial.
Tomorrow, I can use the newspaper as leverage to plead with my superiors, and maybe they'll let me stay in the police station out of consideration for my service in bringing honor to the station.
Shen Lang's mind raced, and he made a decision in an instant.
He straightened his clothes, stood ramrod straight, and turned to the side, saying, "Take the pictures, take them however you like. Um... my left profile is more handsome!"
Bang~!
With a flash, a frontal photo was taken.
At this moment, the woman, holding the child, said gratefully, "Thank you, thank you so much, officer! I'll definitely repay you later!"
Her attire was impressive, and she lived in a high-end apartment, so it was clear she was wealthy.
Shen Lang's eyes narrowed when he heard the words "generous reward".
Now I'm so poor I can't even afford to dine and dash for dinner. If someone could give me a few yuan as a thank you, it would be a lifesaver.
He glanced at the reporter next to him out of the corner of his eye, and his expression gradually became serious.
"I, Shen Lang, a constable in the Mailan Police Station, am not after money or profit; I am simply fulfilling my duty as a constable!"
Forehead…….
The onlookers blinked, their minds a little slow to process what was happening.
Is this the kind of line a stinky-feet patrolman should be saying?
Shen Lang ignored everyone's astonishment, strode confidently toward the gate, and waved his sleeves without taking away a speck of dust, displaying a carefree attitude.
But inwardly, I couldn't help but think, "He's all show and no substance, and now he's got no dinner planned?"
Ugh~
As the sirens blared, the fire trucks finally arrived.
Shen Lang confirmed the authenticity of the intelligence and hailed a rickshaw on the roadside to return to the Mailan Police Station.
Just as I reached the square outside the McLan Police Station, a large hand landed on my shoulder from behind, revealing a young, resolute face.
A familiar voice came from behind: "Find me a Japanese woman!"
Shen Lang turned his head and was stunned when he saw who it was: Old Gu, an intelligence broker!
