Starting as the President of a Billionaire Group

The woman’s voice was choked as she said, ”The building is on fire, but my child is trapped on the sixth floor and can’t get out.”

Upon hearing this, Ye Chen also felt that this woman was really too careless. Regardless of the reason, one should never leave a child alone at home.

But the situation had already occurred, and blaming anyone wouldn’t help.

The most important thing now was to figure out how to solve the problem. Ye Chen looked in the direction the woman was pointing and saw black smoke billowing from the building, indicating the fire was quite severe.

Waiting for firefighters to arrive was definitely not an option. He had just heard a policeman say his colleagues had already gone in to rescue people, which must not have been easy.

”Ma’am, don’t worry, I’m going in to save them. Wait for me outside,” Ye Chen said to the woman.

As he spoke, he ran towards the building. The policeman tried to stop him but was too late.

Watching Ye Chen’s figure vanish from view, the woman and the policeman silently prayed for him. Nowadays, brave and helpful young people were indeed rare.

They didn’t want Ye Chen to risk his life rescuing others. After all, firefighting required professional firefighters.

Judging by Ye Chen’s outfit, he seemed to be a delivery person.

Ye Chen entered the building, feeling the temperature rise inside, aware it was due to the fire.

He headed straight upstairs, hearing the cries of a child. Ye Chen knew it was the child’s crying.

Arriving at the door, Ye Chen kicked it open and carried the crying, teary-eyed little girl out.

The girl cried even more when suddenly held by a man. Ye Chen didn’t know how to comfort the child, and even if he did, he didn’t have time for it, as escape was the priority.

”Be good, baby, your mom sent me to get you,” Ye Chen said.

Something miraculous happened; the girl immediately stopped crying upon hearing this.

With the girl’s emotions calmed, Ye Chen continued searching for more trapped people.

But the fire was so intense, going door-to-door to search risked not saving anyone and possibly losing his own life.

Just as Ye Chen was in distress, a system prompt sounded in his mind.

”Ding! Congratulations to the host for completing the delivery order, receiving the Huluwa reward ’Thousand-Mile Eye’ and ’Downwind Ear’ skills.”

Ye Chen was overjoyed at the unexpected reward, like a timely rain.

With these skills, finding trapped people became much easier.

No time to lose, he quickly activated the Thousand-Mile Eye skill, seeing the building’s situation clearly.

It turned out there was not just the little girl trapped on the sixth floor, but also a mother and daughter.

He hurried to that room, knocking and saying, ”Open the door quickly, I’m a firefighter here to save you.”

Ye Chen had to lie, as rescuing people was as urgent as battling a fire.

He knew he couldn’t waste a single second here.

Sure enough, the people inside opened the door, seeing Ye Chen as if he were a savior, ”Please, take us out.”

Some might still wonder why Ye Chen was wearing a delivery uniform, but the mother and daughter didn’t notice.

This was mainly because Ye Chen’s clothes were already blackened by the smoke, even his face was a bit blackened.

That’s why the little girl cried so much initially; his appearance had scared her.

Ye Chen led the mother and daughter, along with the little girl, down the stairs.

He moved very quickly, reaching the third floor in no time.

He went to the third floor because, through the Thousand-Mile Eye, he saw an elderly woman there.

The elderly woman was wheelchair-bound with a worried, almost desperate, look on her face, knowing she might die here.

Thinking this, she had no will to call for help.

The poor old lady had lost her spouse early and had children who paid her no mind, living alone here for years.

Living like this seemed pointless, she thought it might be better to end it all.

Recollecting her past, the old lady felt immense sorrow.

A knock on the door pulled her thoughts back. She opened the door, hoping it was her children coming to see her.

Instead, it was a young man covered in soot.

Before the old lady could speak, Ye Chen said, ”Granny, quickly come with me.”

”Child, it’s fine, you go ahead,” the old lady declined with a wave.

Ye Chen didn’t have time for idle talk; he immediately picked her up on his back.

Having seen her, it was impossible for Ye Chen not to help.

The old lady, carried on Ye Chen’s back, couldn’t struggle and could only let him carry her downstairs.

The fire continued to spread, and the temperature inside the building kept rising.

Ye Chen knew that the rising temperature would be unbearable for the human body.

He took out from the Spatial Bag the Map of the Land and People given by Nezha and, with a wave of the Pointing Mountains and Rivers Brush, water from the rivers inside began to pour down like rain.

The scene left everyone in awe; it was clear outside, so why was it raining inside the building?

Everyone had been feeling breathless, but with the rain, the temperature inside dropped sharply.

The heat disappeared, and breathing became much easier.

Rescuing people was one thing; the other was extinguishing the fire.

Originally, putting out the fire was the firefighters’ job, but unfortunately, the fire truck was stuck on the way and couldn’t get through.

If the fire wasn’t put out soon, everything in the building would burn, causing huge losses.

Taking people to fight the fire was unrealistic for Ye Chen, as they would only burden him.

The priority was to get these people out quickly, then come back alone to extinguish the fire.

Ye Chen, with the old lady on his back, continued down the stairs with the mother, daughter, and little girl.

”Not good!” Ye Chen felt a sinking feeling; he knew the temperature inside was dropping, but the smoke was getting thicker.

Most casualties in a fire occur due to smoke inhalation.

Ye Chen and the others faced this problem.

”Cover your mouth and nose,” Ye Chen shouted loudly.

But shouting wasn’t a good idea; he inhaled a lot of smoke and coughed continuously.

Under normal circumstances, ordinary people would suffocate, but Ye Chen wouldn’t. The smoke seemed to face resistance, unable to enter his lungs and instead was easily dissipated.

The mother, daughter, and old lady followed his method, as Ye Chen tore a piece of his sleeve, handing it to the little girl, ”Use this to cover your mouth and nose, to keep the smoke out of your lungs.”

Being a six-year-old child, she understood Ye Chen’s words and quickly did as he instructed.
