Lin Beichen had been keeping his attention on Li Bin. Seeing Li Bin looking over, he quickly waved his hand, "Captain, Captain!"
"..."
Li Bin completely ignored him.
After the commotion caused by Lin Beichen just now, Li Bin had already made his decision—to rescue, must rescue, even if there was only a one percent chance that someone alive was trapped upstairs, he could not let go of that slightest possibility!
At this moment, he was meticulously arranging the rescue plan.
Seeing this, Lin Beichen suddenly realized that these people were not from the safety bureau, so indeed there was no reason for them to believe him.
However, this did not trouble him.
Since these firefighters were not from the safety bureau, he would let someone from the safety bureau make them believe him.
As he retracted the foot that had stepped across the cordon, Lin Beichen took out his phone and dialed Song Xiangdong.
Soon, the call connected.
Song Xiangdong’s hearty laughter came through, "Lin Beichen, what can I do for you?"
"Director Song, I really need to trouble you for something."
Lin Beichen quickly explained the situation and stated what he needed Song Xiangdong to do.
The two firefighters who had stopped Lin Beichen didn’t walk far. Listening to Lin Beichen’s quick talk on the phone, they couldn’t help glancing at each other and smiling silently, shaking their heads.
They both thought he was putting on a show.
What director, what calling to notify the fire headquarters to rescue people...
This is absurd, isn’t it?
The two firefighters began to speculate what Lin Beichen would do next, probably pretend the phone signal was poor, and move farther away as if looking for a signal, until finally escaping from the scene?
Meanwhile.
Lin Beichen had already finished speaking.
There was a brief silence on the other end of the phone, then an answer, "Alright, Lin Beichen, I’ll contact them for you."
Thinking of how Lin Beichen survived the huge explosion in Snake Eye Province unscathed and considering his physical strength in the rating test,.
Song Xiangdong had no reason to worry about Lin Beichen facing danger in a fire, moreover, it would be beneficial for his cultivation and he could also save lives.
It was a win-win situation, why not go for it?
He couldn’t find a reason to refuse.
After hanging up the phone, Song Xiangdong immediately contacted the director of the fire headquarters, knowing that time meant life right now. He directly issued the order for the director to inform the on-site fire captain to let Lin Beichen into the fire scene to rescue people.
When Li Bin received the call from his immediate superior, he had just finished arranging the rescue plan and was ready for action.
"Xiao Li."
"Leader."
Li Bin was extremely surprised at this point, not understanding why the leader, whom he rarely saw, suddenly called him.
Could the fire situation here have already reached the ears of the superior?
Li Bin felt it was unlikely.
Since there hadn’t been any fatalities here, logically it wasn’t enough to draw such high attention.
What could it be then?
Before he could think further.
The leader on the other end spoke, "I know you are at the fire scene. I’m calling to inform you that there’s someone named Lin Beichen on-site. Let him go in to fight the fire, and make him the focal point, fully cooperating with him."
Li Bin was dumbfounded.
Lin Beichen?
He went over the names of all firefighters in his team but had no impression of anyone named that.
Could the leader have received information about this place...
Sent a professional here to guide and carry out the rescue work?
Li Bin felt that was the only possibility, so he nodded and replied, "Yes, leader, I understand."
After saying that, he hung up.
Li Bin looked around, before he could loudly inquire about who Lin Beichen was, he saw the guy who had caught his attention earlier waving at him.
"Are you looking for me?"
After finishing his call with Song Xiangdong, Lin Beichen had been watching Li Bin. Seeing Li Bin pick up the phone and then look up for someone, Lin Beichen knew Song Xiangdong had arranged everything.
He added, "I am Lin Beichen."
On hearing this, Li Bin was thoroughly confused, staring blankly at him. He is Lin Beichen?
Regarding Lin Beichen being the one mentioned in the leader’s call, Li Bin didn’t doubt it, as the timing was impeccable. He hadn’t uttered a word yet, but Lin Beichen knew he was looking for someone and had also stated the name correctly.
To say he is not...
Doesn’t make sense!
He just hadn’t expected the leader to ask him to fully cooperate with someone so young who looked like a student.
The two firefighters in front of Lin Beichen nearly couldn’t hold back their laughter, thinking: Reporting a name? Even if you were named Lin Nancheng, Lin Xicheng, or Lin Dongcheng, what difference does it make? Can you really go in to fight the fire?
At this moment.
Captain Li Bin’s voice rang out beside them, "Lin Beichen, right? Come over here."
"??"
The expression on the two firefighters froze instantly, were they hearing this right?
They instinctively turned to look at Li Bin, only to see him nod and indicate clearance.
The two firefighters were completely stunned.
They watched Lin Beichen step over the cordon and walk towards Li Bin, with only one thought in their minds—
This is truly unnerving!
Li Bin scrutinized Lin Beichen and couldn’t help but reconfirm, "You are indeed Lin Beichen, the one who will enter the fire scene for rescue?"
"Yes."
Lin Beichen nodded with a smile, then handed over the bags in his hands to Li Bin, "Captain, mind holding onto these for me? I’ll take them when I come out."
"..."
Seeing him remain so casual and not at all tense in front of such a massive fire, Li Bin involuntarily glanced at the packages in his hands.
Inside were fruits, snacks...
It looked more like he was preparing for a picnic.
Li Bin was left speechless; was this guy really here to rescue people from the fire? Could he actually manage it?
Even though the call came from his direct superior.
A huge question mark formed in his head.
However, he knew time waited for no one.
There was no time to thoroughly investigate anymore.
"This is a fire-fighting suit, this is a heat-resistant suit, this is fireproof clothing..."
Li Bin quickly took out various firefighter gear.
Seeing this, Lin Beichen waved his hand and took out an oxygen tank from the assortment, "Captain, I don’t need any of those. I’ll just take the oxygen tank."
Actually, even the oxygen tank was unnecessary for him.
Though, he considered the need to save trapped personnel inside. If there were survivors after such a long blaze, they might need oxygen.
Taking the oxygen tank as a contingency plan!
Li Bin had no idea what to think about Lin Beichen anymore, not following any conventional rules. Who goes into such a fire scene without proper gear? This was like lighting up a lantern in a dung pit, seeking death?
"No, Lin Beichen..."
"It’s alright, Captain, believe me."
"..."

Li Bin thought, how am I supposed to believe you?
He trusted his own judgment more than Lin Beichen!
Planning to proceed with his organized rescue plan while also ensuring his crew would keep an eye on Lin Beichen inside the fire scene.
After all, his direct superior had personally appointed him...
Letting him just march to his death wouldn’t look good.
"Groups one and two, when you go inside, follow the original rescue plan while keeping Lin Beichen protected..."
"Captain, no need for others to go in, I can do it alone."
Lin Beichen interrupted Li Bin. He knew the fire scene posed no danger to him, but it would be immensely hazardous to ordinary people, even equipped firefighters.
With that, Lin Beichen shouldered the oxygen tank and walked towards the fire scene.
"Hey..."
Li Bin wanted to say something but, recalling the leader’s command to cooperate fully with Lin Beichen, he couldn’t think of what to say.
He ended up just watching alongside everyone else.
The flames raged high, black smoke billowed, Lin Beichen’s figure solitary, like a lone walker running against the tide.
Soon, he stepped into the flames, his outline distorted by the heat waves.
In the blink of an eye, he vanished within the raging fire.
It was as if...
He had been swallowed by the flames!
