The Rocking Hell band members were sitting on a food stall and eating their hearts' content.
"This is so good!" one of them said while eating fried chicken wings.
"Be careful not to eat too much fried chicken or the manager will kick you're a**," her friend warned.
"I would rather let our handsome manager spank my a**," the girl winked.
The other four members laughed.
One of them asked, "So, when are we catching our next target?"
Jasmine tapped the table and spoke in a low tone only for her friends to hear, "Whoever she is, it doesn't matter. She isn't any powerful figure. A political marriage cannot be good for Yujin. We have to prevent them from getting married at once. Since she is a meek girl, threatening her only once will be enough."
"Then we will keep an eye on her today. When we get her alone, we can attack her," one of her friends suggested.
Another one asked, "How are we going to get her alone?"
"Maybe if she goes to the washroom," Jasmine said.
"After we finish our meal, we will-"
"Did you hear? The school storeroom is on fire," a girl's whisper interrupted Rocking Hell's conversation. They became quiet and eavesdropped.
The girl's friend seemed shocked by the news. He asked, "Huh? How is that possible? Did you hear properly?"
"I heard nothing. I saw the live video in the forum," she stated and showed her friend the news.
The boy saw the live video and exclaimed, "Oh no! How did this happen?"
"Which storeroom are they talking about?" Jasmine asked her friends.
"Let me ask them," her friend said. She asked those students, "Which storeroom is on fire?"
The girl replied, "The old janitor's room. It is being used as a storeroom. That one."
The members of the Rocking Hell quickly checked their cell phones. When they saw what the girl said was true, their facial expression changed.
It was the same storeroom where they left Han Luo.
"Why is it on fire?" Jasmine whispered. She was confused.
"Jasmine, did you leave your cigarette there?" one of the members questioned her.
"No, I did not," Jasmine denied firmly.
"Then how?"
"I don't know."
"It could be an accident."
"Why didn't you check properly?"
"How would I know that things would turn this way?"
The girls argued. Their hearts were racing.
Their plan was to lock Han Luo in the storeroom and starve her for three days. After that, they would threaten her to stay away from Mo Yuan and be a good dog to them.
Who could guess that that storeroom would be on fire?
"What will we do if the police find her dead body?" one of the Rocking Hell members asked. She was beyond terrified.
Jasmine spoke in a low tone, "Just stay quiet. No need to tell anyone anything."
"B-but…" another member hesitated.
Not only her others also had pale complexions. All they ever did was bully people. They never killed anyone.
"Do you want to destroy your career and ruin your life? Do you want to demolish everything we have built so far?" Jasmine threatened them.
The girls became quiet.
They only wished to scare Han Luo. They didn't know the storeroom would be on fire. It's not their fault if something happened to her anyway.

At that time, Han Sheng Ming was frightened by Beth's statement.
She said, "I just heard that the storeroom beside the court is on fire,"
"Xiao Yuan, aren't you close to the school?" Han Sheng Ming asked Mo Yuan.
"…"
"Hello? Xiao Yuan?" Han Sheng Ming called out again.
However, Mo Yuan didn't reply.
"Don't bother him," Tang Yujin calmly spoke. "He might have gone to the storeroom."
"We should go there as well. We can catch Rocking Hell later," Zheng Mian suggested.
"Yes, let's go!" Han Sheng Ming grabbed her hand and ran in the direction of the storeroom.
While they headed there, Mo Yuan had already reached there. His heart chilled seeing the fire engulfing the whole storeroom. The storeroom wasn't that big. If someone was in there and couldn't get out, it would be impossible to stay alive.
A student called the Principal and some students called several teachers. Some students and security guards splash water using hose pipes but the fire wouldn't go down.
Mo Yuan noticed that the fire service had yet to come. If Han Luo was there, she would be burnt into ashes when they arrive.
That's why he didn't waste any time. He snatched the pipe from a security guard and showered his body with water. When he was completely drenched, he rushed toward the storeroom.
"Hey, where are you going?" a teacher shouted when he saw one of his students going toward the fire.
"He is crazy!"
"He is going to die!"
"Someone, call the ambulance!"
"He is trying to kill himself!"
Students who gathered and saw Mo Yuan's action screamed excitedly.
Mo Yuan forcefully kicked the door. The joints of the door were weak due to fire. That's why, the door collapsed.
Mo Yuan's skin nearly burnt in the high temperature but he didn't care. He entered the storeroom without hesitation.
By that time, Han Sheng Ming, Zheng Mian, Tang Yujin, Ling Brown, Beth, and Sean arrived.
"Oh my God!" Han Sheng Ming felt his heart stopped seeing the fire. He also saw Mo Yuan enter the storeroom.
"Wh-what should I do?" he desperately asked, not knowing what he could do to save his cousin and friend.
Tang Yujin remained calm outside but his heart was racing. He instructed Beth, "Go and ask the security officer key to the infirmary. You will find the necessary medicine and bandage."
"All right," Beth nodded and left.
Mo Yuan could barely see anything in the storeroom. He quickly looked around and finally found Han Luo across the room, close to the broken window.
