CHAPTER 227: CHAPTER 227: JIN CITY FIRE DEPARTMENT (PART 1)

"Xiao Qian is here, are you off today?"

"No, I took leave. I’ll go back to work after having lunch."

"Did your mom ask you to come back for a blind date? Hahaha, Xiao Qian, you’re not young anymore. It’s time to find someone and get married..."

"Oh, Uncle Hao, it’s such a modern age now. I don’t want to get married so early. It’s so much freedom now!"

"Yeah, yeah, you young people all think this way nowadays. We can’t persuade you..."

...

Lin Xiaoyan heard the conversation and curiously looked over.

She saw the restaurant owner chatting with a handsome young man.

The people in the shop seemed to know the young man as well; they all greeted him when they saw him.

"Xiao Qian, here for a meal?"

"Xiao Qian, I happen to know a girl who’d be perfect for you. Meet up with her sometime..."

"Xiao Qian, is there anyone single in your team? Auntie can introduce you to girlfriend..."

...

The food wasn’t served yet, and Lin Xiaoyan watched the young man chat and laugh with those people.

Then she saw the young man sit at the table next to theirs.

Nan Xi glanced at him and softly said, "That person should be a public servant."

Lin Xiaoyan was surprised, "How do you know?"

Nan Xi: "Looking at the way he walks and his posture, he must have had some training."

Lin Xiaoyan looked over and saw the young man sitting there with a tall and straight posture; upon closer look, the muscles under his clothes were bulging.

"Hello, the steamed buns are here..."

At this moment, a waiter brought the steamed dumplings, instantly drawing Lin Xiaoyan’s thoughts back.

"Such delicate buns!"

Lin Xiaoyan looked at the small buns in the steamer; each had the standard eighteen pleats, with thin skin and fragrant filling. One bite left a lingering taste...

"Delicious!" Lin Xiaoyan tasted one bite, and her eyes lit up instantly.

Nan Xi ate one and indeed found it very fragrant.

Other dishes were also served, and Lin Xiaoyan and her companion commented on the food as they ate.

Almost everything was delicious, but the most fragrant was still the steamed buns!

"Let’s go." Nan Xi wiped her mouth, checked the time, and said.

Lin Xiaoyan glanced at the table, packed her things, and stood up to put her bag on the suitcase.

"Xiao Qian, are you full? Have another basket of buns for you!"

"No, thank you, Uncle Hao, I’m full!"

The young man smiled and ate the last bite of his bun, saying to the owner, "Every time I’m on leave, I crave these buns. I always think about them when I’m in the team. Uncle Hao, when will you open a store near our team?"

The owner laughed out loud at Xiao Qian’s words, "Forget it, this one store is busy enough for me. I want to take a break, but the customer’s calls come directly to my phone, urging me to open the door, alas~"

"Hahaha, that means everyone loves your food!"

Lin Xiaoyan and Nan Xi pushed their suitcases, avoiding people, and headed towards the door.

"Uncle Hao, I’m leaving, I’ll come back for the buns next time!" Xiao Qian also finished eating and talked to the owner while walking.

At the door, a pregnant woman just came in, and Lin Xiaoyan pulled the suitcase aside and moved her body backward to make room.

"Hey!"

A voice suddenly came from behind.

Lin Xiaoyan felt she had stepped on something, and then scenes appeared in front of her eyes.

Alarm bells sounded urgently, and all teammates went out on a mission, driving one fire truck after another to the scene...

The last scene was a huge blaze swallowing everyone instantly!

After "watching" those scenes, Lin Xiaoyan turned to look at the young man.

Qian Yi noticed the girl in front of him was staring at him blankly. He touched his mouth corner, but there was nothing there.

Lin Xiaoyan was staring at Qian Yi. In those images, she saw this young man and his teammates dash into the fire without hesitation.

"Hello." Lin Xiaoyan greeted Qian Yi.

Qian Yi widened his eyes slightly, thinking... was this love at first sight for him?!

"Hello."

Lin Xiaoyan: "May I ask what’s your name and where do you work?"

Qian Yi: .....

This... was too sudden and too direct!

Qian Yi blushed and said shyly, "Sorry, I currently have no plans to date."

"Huh?" Lin Xiaoyan was stunned, watching Qian Yi quickly leave with a red face.

Lin Xiaoyan looked at Nan Xi, "What did he mean by that just now?"

Nan Xi held back her laughter and said, "He probably thought you liked him."

Lin Xiaoyan: ...

"I don’t! I just saw something just now..." Lin Xiaoyan quickly explained.

Nan Xi nodded with a smile, "I know, with Captain Youhe around, you’re definitely not interested in that guy."

Lin Xiaoyan blushed upon hearing Nan Xi’s words.

"Little girl, did you fancy Xiao Qian?" came the owner’s voice from behind.

Lin Xiaoyan turned awkwardly, ready to deny it when she heard the owner spill the young man’s details.

"That young man just now is called Qian Yi, twenty-six years old, currently single, working at the fire brigade in Ping’an District. His family is urging him to find a partner.

Girl, be bold, if you like him, go for it!

I even have his contact number here, do you want it?"

Facing the owner’s enthusiasm, Lin Xiaoyan was full of embarrassment, "No... no, thank you."

After saying that, Lin Xiaoyan quickly pulled Nan Xi and left the place.

After walking out of the restaurant, Lin Xiaoyan took a heavy breath. She looked serious, "Tonight, there’s a big explosion at a warehouse in Jin City, with heavy casualties."

Nan Xi knitted her brows tightly, "Can you determine the location?"

Lin Xiaoyan recalled it again and shook her head, "Because it was at night, in Qian Yi’s view, he didn’t see the specific location."

Nan Xi thought for a while, "I’ll call the higher-ups to report this and let them handle it."

"Okay."

Lin Xiaoyan detailed all the scenes she had just "seen" to Nan Xi without missing any details.

Finally, Lin Xiaoyan said, somewhat heavily, "In the last scene, Qian Yi and his teammates all perished..."

Nan Xi listened and was silent, her mood heavy.

After a while, she patted Lin Xiaoyan’s shoulder, "Don’t worry, since you foresaw this incident, we’ll do our best to prevent it."

"Alright."

"Let’s go, we’re heading to the airport."

Lin Xiaoyan checked the time, hesitated, "Why don’t I tell Xuan Liu, and we’ll go to H Province tomorrow, while you contact someone to handle this first."

Nan Xi: "Can you do that? Will it affect your mission?"

"I’ll call Xuan Liu and ask..."

Lin Xiaoyan took out her phone, called Xuan Liu, and explained the situation.

Xuan Liu immediately agreed upon hearing it.

"Life is important; handle that first. Nothing urgent on my side," Xuan Liu said seriously.

Lin Xiaoyan: "Thank you, I’ll come to H Province as soon as I handle this!"

After hanging up the phone, Lin Xiaoyan smiled and nodded at Nan Xi, "Xuan Liu agreed."

Nan Xi looked at her phone, "Let’s head to the hotel first, then I’ll contact someone!"

"Okay."
