Chapter 356 - Don't Let Her Escape!!

The fire outbreak almost caused a huge disadvantage to the empire's high but thankfully, there were not many casualties.

Other than a few students being injured, thankfully there was no death since the students had reacted pretty fast and escaped to the lawn.

As for the parents and guest, they had long been escorted to the nearby hotel to attend the banquet once the show came to an end, lucking avoiding the fire outburst.

By the time these parents knew about the outbreak, things were already clear. Those parents whose children were injured hurriedly left while those parents' children who were safe did not bother much and just put it to the back of their mind, well except a few who still left worried about their little one's well-being.

As for Sia's family, after the show, they did not follow the group to the banquet hall instead they headed to home knowing that their presence would only bring them a headache.

But before they left, they received the award that Sia had received tonight.

Though disappointed that it's wasn't their baby girl presenting them personally, but they were happy to see her doing well and for winning the award. .

The three men of the Rao family were extremely excited to receive the award and were internally planning to celebrate in their own way.

After receiving the award, the group soon left.

Though there were not many casualties, the Zhen family still had to explain to those who were injured.

As the sole heir of the Zhen family, naturally, this responsibility fell on Zhen Wei.

Now not only did she have to deal with the elders and parents, she even had to investigate the scene. And the most worrying thing was even after a week, Sia did not show any sign of waking up.

On the other side, the person who was most affected by this accident was Xiao Li.

Since Sia fell into a coma, she had been feeling remorseful and filled with guilt. Because of her anxiety and cell blame, Xiao Li lost her appetite and suffered from insomnia. Neither was she able to concentrate on her study nor on the competition.

Like a lifeless doll, she would continue staring blankly not knowing what she was thinking.

While Xiao Li was feeling down, rather than feeling sympathetic, a few wolf-hearted people started to mess with her one by one.

And coincidentally whenever these people tried to bully her, she would be all alone.

Since Xiao Li wasn't in her right state of mind, she did not deal with them neither did she ask her friends to help.

With a mum expression, she listened to all their accusations and painful words without batting an eye.

Once submissive, People will not cease to stop but would grow more and more courageous. One such example happened with Xiao Li too.

Because she did not defend herself a few times, she became a target for all the bullying.

After leaving the library, hugging a few books in her arms, just as Xiao Li was returning to her dorm, she halted when she saw a few burly men dressed in black searching here and there.

Seeing their rude behavior, she frowned and the next second a bad premonition arose in her heart.

'Are they here for me?' she thought but before she could laugh at her guess, it turned out her guess was right.

The moment one of the burly men saw her, he pointed at her and yelled "There she is...catch her"

Startled, the first thought that appeared in Xiao Li's mind was to run. Not bothering to ask why were they looking for her, she dropped the books on the floor and started to run in the opposite direction.

"Shit...catch that bitch. Don't let her run away"

one of the men roared and hurriedly ordered his men to chase after Xiao Li.

While she ran, Xiao Li did her best to calm herself down.

After being with Sia for so long, the first thing she learned was to stay calm. Only when one is calm can he/she think it through and find a solution to deal with the situation.

At that moment, Sia's teaching inexplicably flashed in her mind. Forcing herself to calm down, she looked around and mentally calculated her escaped route.

She was currently on the eighth floor.

Staying on the eighth floor was not idle as there was no other escape route other than the rooftop. So she hurriedly thought of descending to the ground floor but since she was on the eighth floor, not only would it waste her time but might also use too much of her energy,

As she had not been eating well, Xiao Li's energy and strength was a little worrisome so she was not sure if she could escape out of here to a safer place with her limited energy.

If she wanted to save her energy, she only had one way that was to use the elevator.

Not only would she be able to conserve her energy, but she might also reach the ground floor ahead of them.

With that thought, she rushed to the elevator and pressed the lower button more than once anxiously.

Before the burly men reached her, the elevator door opened. hurriedly getting inside, she pressed the close several times before pressing the ground floor option.

While the door closed, she hurriedly reached for her cell phone and hurriedly sent a message asking for help. As she was too nervous, she did not check the name and simply sent the message along with her live location.

The moment she successfully sent the message, the elevator door opened with a ding.

Without waiting for another second, she rushed out of the elevator, intending to leave through the front door.

But just as she rushed out, she was blocked by several girls looking up, she frowned when she saw Yang Rui. The next moment she saw her half-sister standing right next to her.

Seeing their appearance, Xiao Li had a vague thought. If she wasn't wrong, these people must be behind those guys, and seeing her bitchy sister appear next to Yang Rui, she could almost guess who those gangsters were.

If she was not wrong, this two might have asked that man to deal with. That man, the one who lusted after her mother but failed to reach her. But because of this bitchy mother and daughter pair tattle tail, he was now targetting her, who looked extremely similar to her mother.

Xiao Li's heart started to tremble in fright when she thought of her current state. 'But it seemed like he wasn't here' Xiao Li thought.

Forcing herself to calm down, she looked at the few girls in front coldly and said "Get out of my way"

Raising her eyebrows, Yang Rui grinned and said " Where are you running little bitch? Ahh, to see your sugar daddy?"

Hearing that Xiao Li's gaze turned colder. with a frown, she said "Yang Rui, it's not the time to mess with me, move"

"Sister, we are not messing with you, we are just helping you. Your hubby is coming to pick you up himself soon so you don't have to go look for him yourself" Xiao Li's bitchy stepsister laughed

Glaring at the half-sister, Xiao Li clenched her fist and asked "Was this all your doing?"

"of course not, how would I dare take all the credit. A part of the credit should also belong with Miss Yang"

Glancing at the boot locking Yi Qian, Yang Rui scoffed but did not answer.

Though displeased, Yi Qian still smiled and continued "Also, as a daughter, it is your duty to show your filial piety to your dad and mom"

"My parents are dead," Xiao Li said coldly

Though displeased, Yi Qian still pretended to look hurt as she exclaimed "Sister, how could you curse father when he is still alive"

Knowing that speaking with them would only waste her time, Xiao Li turned around, intending to leave through back door. But before she could, Yang Rui suddenly ordered "Grab her, don't let her escape"
