Fire slowly engulfed the old janitor's room. It was used by the janitors of the school before but it became too old and it's now used as a storeroom. It was situated in the corner of the school. Only from the basketball court, the room could be seen.

Most of the garbage here were event decorations along with some costumes and banners. Because of those objects, the fire spread quickly.

Although Han Luo was planning to draw some attention, she didn't mean to do it that way.

The smoke filled the closed room. Han Luo mistakenly inhaled some smoke and began to cough.

She didn't have the time to think of anything else. She ran toward the exit but the door was tightly shut.

In the midst of coughing, she desperately slapped on the door, kicked it several times and shouted, "Let me out! Let me out! Someone! Help!"

However, no one listened to her pleading since there weren't any people around there. She couldn't stand there any longer due to the fire getting close to the door.

'Glass… windows… there should be windows…' thinking that Han Luo looked around. Her eyes started to burn and tears filled her eyes. With blurry vision, she searched for windows or ventilators.

The dark room was lit up due to fire spreading, Han Luo rubbed her eyes and pushed away the shelves to check if there was a window. The shelves fell on the ground and the objects made loud sounds but she didn't care. The only thing that was going in her mind was to escape from here.

After looking for a while, she finally found a window. The window glass was half broken too. Her eyes sparkled with hope. She looked on the ground and found a baseball bat. She took it and smashed the window. When she completely broke it, she tried to get out but only to find that window grills were blocking her way.

The baseball bat dropped from her hand. She grabbed the window grill and tried to move it but she couldn't.

'Am I going to die here?' Han Luo thought. Her body collapsed on the ground. 'But I just confessed to big brother Yuan. I don't want to die.'

She turned to look at the door. The fire had completely devoured it.

Cough! Cough! Cough!

Since she broke the window, the smoke was passing through the window. However, there was still a lot of smoke inside the room.

The burning temperature and smoke made it extremely hard for Han Luo. She was unable to keep her eyes open let alone breathe.

Slowly, she lost consciousness. The smoke engulfed her body.

At that same time, Han Sheng Ming, Mo Yuan, Tang Yujin, Zheng Mian, Beth, Sean and Ling Brown were looking for Han Luo.

Soon after Tang Yujin and Mo Yuan found Han Luo's cell phone, they informed others that she was missing.

They broke into four groups and went in different directions to find her. They searched in the dark areas and asked the students around.

However, none of them could properly answer since they were busy enjoying the festival.

"Damn it!" Han Sheng Ming cursed in frustration. "How come no one saw her? Are they blind or what? She was abducted right in the middle of the crowd. There should be at least one person who saw her being taken away."

"I don't have a good feeling about this," Zheng Mian commented.

Beth adjusted her earphone. She suddenly recalled something and told them, "Ah, I remember. Luo and the girls from Rocking Hell were having a clash on her first day in school. They blocked her path and interrogated her about her relationship with Yuan."

They are all in a group chat so that they could talk even if they were in different places. 

"There are bad rumors about them too," Tang Yujin stated. He furrowed his eyebrows.

"Could they harm her?" Ling Brown seemed terrified.

Others couldn't answer her question but their hearts were dreading the same thing.

Mo Yuan instructed in a cold tone, "Xiao Ming, drag those girls and interrogate them. Xiao Yujin, try asking students if they saw those gangsters taking someone away. I'll go look for Ah Luo."

"I'm on it," Han Sheng Ming gritted his teeth and replied.

'If someone messes up with my cute little sister, they mess up with me' – that's his motto since his childhood.

Mo Yuan went in the direction of the school and at that time he heard a girl screaming.

"The storeroom beside the basketball court is on fire!"

After she shouted, many students' attention went in that direction.

 "Where is the fire?"

"How did you notice?"

"We don't see anything. Are you joking or what?"

The students surrounded her and asked. Some even ran toward the basketball court.

The girl answered, "I didn't see anything wrong. It's the old janitor's room. We use it as a storeroom."

"I've called the fire service. Hopefully, they will arrive soon," the boy beside her announced.

She went there with her boyfriend to make out and happened to see the fire.

At that time, Tang Yujin was talking to a girl. "Did you see the gangs of Rocking Hell talking to someone or taking someone away?" he asked.

"They do it all the time. It's nothing new," the girl shrugged.

"Please try to remember if you saw them taking someone away," Tang Yujin patiently said.

The girl tried to recall and then replied, "I think I saw them holding someone and taking them away. It was a girl. Her head was covered with a cloth; so, I'm not sure who that poor girl is."

Tang Yujin's throat became dry. He inquired, "On which area did they head to?"

"Toward the basketball court," she replied.

"Thank you very much," saying that Tang Yujin gave her a friendly smile and informed others, "It looks like those girls took a girl toward the basketball court."

"I just heard that the storeroom beside the court is on fire," Beth declared. She also heard some students talking about it.

"Xiao Yuan, aren't you close to the school?" Han Sheng Ming asked.. He was terrified after hearing the news.
