The Genius Doctor, My Wife, Is Valiant Novel - Chapter 427
Chapter 427: 427: Go get it!
Father Jing and Mother Jing originally thought that Jing Jie would definitely go for the safe. Therefore, when they saw how big the fire was and realized that it might be dangerous, both of them decided to help Jing Lu, who has one broken leg, move downstairs.
In the end, when they got to the ground floor, Jing Jie was right behind them, but all he had in his hands were his phone and two cards, nothing else.
“Where are the things?” Mother Jing was shocked when he saw Jing Jie empty-handed.
Jing Jie looked up at his mother. He bit onto his lips and didn’t say a word.
Father Jing was confused as well.
“I thought I saw you head upstairs?! Why didn’t you get the things from the third floor? Don’t you know that all the important documents are inside the safe? Go get it now!”
“Dear, the fire is too big now!”
“Even if it is, he still has to go and get it! It’s alright to lose the house but the documents for our company?! You better get back inside and get them for me!”
Mother Jing was worried as well, so she turned to Jing Jie and said, “Xiao Jie, since the fire isn’t that worse now, go and get the things from the safe for your father.”
Jing Lu panicked as well. “Xiao Jie, the things inside the safe are extremely important. Quick, go and get it for mum and dad. If it weren’t for my broken leg, I would have gone myself.”
Jing Jie, on the other hand, remained quiet. He clenched his fist and grabbed tightly onto his phone along with the cards that were in his hand.
“I’m asking you to go. What are you waiting for? You idiot who can’t do anything right!”
When Father Jing saw that Jing Jie still stayed frozen on his spot, he got so mad that he kicked his son on the leg.
Jing Jie still didn’t say a word while his father kicked him, which then made Father Jing even more furious.
Fortunately, the guards finally arrived. Father Jing quickly went to them and told them to get the safe from the third floor.
However, when the guards found out about the exact location of the safe and how a passcode was needed before reaching the safe that was stored under the ground, they laughed.
“Mr. Jing, the fire is so big….”
“If anyone can bring the things from the safe, my father will reward you 2 million!” Jing Lu immediately gave the orders in her father’s place.
The guards hesitated for a while, and in the end, they picked up the fire extinguisher and dashed toward the house.
Seeing how the guards immediately took action, he gave Jing Lu an appreciative look.
At times like these, he suddenly realized that Jing Lu was much more brilliant than Jing Jie.
*****
Since there was only one side of the house that was on fire, they would still be able to get the things they wanted on the third floor.
The fire wasn’t as massive in the beginning, but as the guards rushed into the building, the attic caught on fire.
It was just a small fire, but for some unknown reason, the fire flared up within seconds and completely engulfed the entire attic.
The fire on the third floor was much scarier than the one on the first floor. The first floor was only burnt halfway through, but the third floor was completely destroyed.
The Jing couple was shocked to witness what just happened.
Upon seeing the situation inside, they had no other choice but to leave as well.
“Mr. Jing, the third floor is completely destroyed, and there is no possible point of entry now, but since you mentioned that the safe is beneath the ground, it shouldn’t be affected by the fire.”
Father Jing had an awful look on his face.
Since the entire house was not caught on fire, it didn’t make sense for him to ask the others to risk their lives for him, which was why there was nothing left for him to do.
Mother Jing started crying. “What kind of house is this? Why did it suddenly catch on fire? Didn’t they say that the materials were fireproof? How is it possible for such a huge fire to be ignited in this house? The third floor wasn’t even on fire in the beginning. Why was there fire all of a sudden?”
