Police officer Chen Shu

Chapter 429 Pu Shu's Memories: Which One is the Real Him?
Two years ago, in a private room at a nightclub.

"Officer, if an old man falls to the ground on the side of the road, will you help him up? Will you help him up?" A beautifully dressed and charming young woman nestled in Pu Shu's arms, her slender fingers picking up a cherry tomato and suggestively stuffing it into Pu Shu's mouth.

"Oh, oh, mmm." Pu Shu, his face reeking of alcohol, swallowed it in one gulp, then sucked on the smooth, white little finger a few times, chuckling, "Help, why not help?"

"Aren't you afraid that old man will try to extort you?" the young woman asked sweetly, placing her finger to her bright red lips.

"Haha, I'm rich, let him try to extort me!" Pu Shu laughed, and taking advantage of his drunkenness, he lowered his head and kissed those extremely tempting and sexy little upturned lips.

Their lips barely touched before the young woman pushed Pu Shu away with both hands on his chest.

The young woman's big eyes darted around before she asked again, "If someone falls into the water, would you jump in to save them?"

"Why do you always bring up such unpleasant things when we're drinking!" Pu Shu refused to answer, frowning as he tried to lower his head again for a kiss. His head, full of alcohol, was now only thinking about dealing with the temptation in front of him.

After the young woman murmured "uh-huh" a few times, she gently pushed him away and said in a coquettish tone, "Officer, I'm just a little curious, please tell me."

Pu Shu released the beauty from his arms, sat up straight, took a half-open pack of cigarettes from the coffee table, lit one, and said, "I don't know. I don't know if I'll jump. I think I'll jump to save people, but if it actually happens, will I jump or not? Sometimes I really don't know."

"Why? You were willing to save the old man earlier, how come you've become so timid now?"

"I really want to be a brave person, but I don't know if I'll be as brave as I imagine when the time comes. Because jumping into a river to save someone can kill you, and I might die." Pu Shu looked at the rising smoke rings and blurted out his true feelings after drinking.

This smoke is just like the thick smoke billowing out of the fourth-floor stairwell of the residential building two years later.

The scene shifts, and Pu Shu, in a daze, recalls his conversation with a young lady in a KTV. He shakes his head violently and returns to the noisy fire scene on the roadside.

At that moment, he was working with his colleagues to maintain order at the chaotic scene, waiting to clear a wide road for the fire trucks to come in and carry out the rescue.

Actually, when Chen Chuan ran into the residential building, Pu Shu had already thought that he could also just go in without a care. After all, he was just a police auxiliary officer. Even if something went wrong, he could just take off his clothes and leave. It wasn't a big deal.

But his head, which had been clouded by excitement, suddenly cleared up, and he suddenly remembered what he had said to the new girl from Southwest China in the KTV room two years ago.

"Helping the elderly is just a matter of money; I would never jump into the river. People can die there, and I might die."

In a daze, Pu Shu suddenly didn't know which one was the real him.

Residential building, fourth floor!

"Chen Shu! What do we do!" Chen Chuan looked back at the slowly rising flames and shouted loudly, his voice hoarse and a little sharp, clearly frightened.

"Keep smashing! Smash the wall!"

Chen Shu gritted his teeth, raised the fire axe again, and, enduring the tearing pain in his hand, smashed the axe hard against the junction of the window and the wall.

a bit!
Second time!

A dozen or so times!
The security window finally gave way to the repeated knocking and, with a creak, was torn off the wall by Chen Shu and Chen Chuan.

The two jumped into the house through the opened security window.

Chen Shu, who jumped out of the window first, rushed out of the kitchen immediately. When he got to the hallway, he saw that the living room was on his right, and he knew that they had made the right bet.

The house wasn't big; there was one door on the north side of the living room and another door that was closed.

Chen Shu first ran to the room with the door open and peeked inside. It was a small bedroom with a 1.5-meter single bed and a desk in a space of about ten square meters.

No one is empty.

He turned around and reached for the doorknob next to him, but just as he placed his right hand on the doorknob, he heard a loud bang from outside.

"boom!"

All the glass in the kitchen was shattered and fell down, and then a burst of flames could be clearly seen shooting through the hallway outside.

"Chen Chuan, find someone quickly!" Chen Shu roared at Chen Chuan, who was standing there dumbfounded. Then he turned around, quickly turned the doorknob, pushed the door open, and rushed inside.

An elderly man with gray hair lay calmly on the bed, showing no reaction whatsoever.

"Chen Chuan! Come in!"

"Crouch down!"

Time was of the essence, and Chen Shu, without even checking the old man's vital signs, called Chen Chuan in from outside and scooped the old man up onto Chen Chuan's shoulder. "You go first! Hurry up and go!" Chen Shu shouted, pointing outside.

Chen Chuan didn't hesitate; he tiptoed, steadied the old man on his shoulder, and ran outside. But as he was about to open the security door, he was startled by the scorching heat of the doorknob.

"Chen Shu, I can't open the door! The door is too hot to touch! What should I do! What should I do!" At this moment, Chen Chuan was completely panicked. He could only desperately call out Chen Shu's name, but he himself had no idea what to do.

Chen Shu, who was still searching for the child inside, heard Chen Chuan's shout and grabbed the air conditioner blanket he had thrown on the ground earlier, running out in a few steps. He wrapped the blanket around the doorknob, pressed it down, and the security door opened.

As soon as the door opened, a wave of heat unexpectedly hit Chen Shu in the face. Completely unaware of the situation in the corridor outside, Chen Shu was stunned by the flames for a few seconds before he quickly came to his senses. The fire had already reached the doorway; they had to race against time!
He then wrapped the only air-conditioning blanket and quilt he had in his hand around Chen Chuan and the old man on his shoulders.

"Run! Quick! Run!"

"And what about you? Don't you want the blanket anymore?"

"What are you waiting for! Let's go! Hurry up!"

Chen Chuan closed his eyes, supported the old man with his right hand, grabbed the blanket with his left hand, and rushed out.

"boom!"

Another loud bang, and huge flames shot through the corridor, knocking Chen Chuan and the old man, who were coming out of the house, aside.

Fortunately, the two fell right at the bottom of the stairs.

"I'm fine!" Chen Chuan struggled to his feet, took a few breaths while supporting himself on his knees, and then hoisted the old man who had fallen to the ground back onto his shoulder.

"Hurry up!" Chen Shu felt a little relieved and rushed back into the house.

Is anyone else here?

Is anyone else here?

Chen Shu ran around the house anxiously, searching for any place where the child might be hiding.

Finally, in the corner of the master bedroom's balcony, they found a four- or five-year-old boy sitting there, hugging his knees, shivering, with snot and tears streaming down his face. He was also retching violently due to inhaling a lot of smoke.

Chen Shu rushed over, grabbed it, and ran towards the security door without saying a word.

However, by this time, Chen Shu had spent a lot of time looking for the child, and the fire had already spread to the security door. The high temperature and the fire completely blocked the escape route.

Clearly, they couldn't get out.

"Waaaaah, firefighter uncle... Waaaaah!" The little boy in my arms started crying inappropriately.

Chen Shu tightened his grip on the child and ran back to the master bedroom balcony. He leaned out from the balcony and looked out, only to find that the height of more than 20 meters above the ground made him feel a little uneasy.

What's even more upsetting is that, apart from the bustling crowds of onlookers and the slightly cleared roads, there wasn't a single fire truck in sight!

Chen Shu took a few deep breaths, forcing his heartbeat to calm down, and strained his ears to listen intently in the direction the fire truck was coming from.

There was no familiar siren sound.

He pulled out his walkie-talkie and shouted frantically, "Xu Mingliang! Xu Mingliang! This is Chen Shu! Have the fire trucks arrived yet? Have the fire trucks arrived yet? How much longer will they take to get here? How much longer will they take to get here!"

"Waaaaah! Waaaaah!"

Perhaps Chen Shu's hoarse voice frightened the little boy, because he cried even more intensely at this moment.

When I was young, my mind was full of thoughts of saving or destroying the world (laughs). A man, after all, must have a global perspective and a clear view of the world.

As I grew up, I realized that the world wasn't as I had imagined.

During this trip to Beijing with my family, listening to their laughter and chatter, I suddenly realized that my world is actually very small, so small that it only consists of them.

I had some feelings, so I said some nonsense.

Brothers, Old Bear is back! Thank you for waiting, let's re-enter Chen Shu's world of police!
