Chapter 978 Retreat

Xu Mo looked around, feeling anxious. The fire spread quickly, thick smoke filled the air, and people around him panicked and retreated. A thought flashed through his mind: If the fire is not controlled quickly, the consequences will be disastrous.

"I know how to use a fire extinguisher!" At this time, Yu Widow suddenly stood up with a firm look in her eyes, "I learned firefighting knowledge in school and I know how to use a fire extinguisher."

"Okay! Then you go find a fire extinguisher, and the rest of you come with me to prepare water!" Xu Mo immediately gave the order, feeling pleased with Yu Widow's decisiveness. He knew that everyone had to unite to deal with the crisis at hand.

Widow Yu quickly ran to a nearby store, while Xu Mo led other team members to look for water. They found some plastic buckets and were about to get water from a nearby tap. At this moment, the fire suddenly increased, and the air around them seemed to become extremely hot.

"Quick! Everyone be careful!" Xu Mo shouted, a sense of urgency rising in his heart. He ignored his own safety and rushed to the most intense fire, trying to put out the flames with water in the bucket.

Widow Yu quickly rushed back with a fire extinguisher. Seeing Xu Mo's actions, she immediately followed and began to spray the foam in the fire extinguisher. The flames weakened slightly under the cover of foam, but they continued to spread.

"Keep spraying! Don't stop!" Xu Mo gave orders while dousing the flames with a bucket. Even though his arms were sore, he knew that he could not retreat.

After several minutes of efforts, the fire was finally under control. At this moment, the sirens of the fire trucks sounded, the red lights flashed in the night sky, and the firefighters quickly jumped out of the car and rushed to the fire scene with professional fire-fighting equipment.

"You did a great job!" Seeing Xu Mo and Yu Widow's efforts, the fire chief nodded approvingly, "Leave it to us now!"

Xu Mo breathed a sigh of relief, and was full of gratitude to the firefighters. He knew how important the impulse and courage just now were, but professional handling was the key to solving the problem.

The fire was quickly put out, and the people around gradually calmed down. Xu Mo and his teammates gathered in front of the barbecue stall, still feeling a little scared, but more joyful about the victory.

"That's great, everyone is fine!" Ale cheered, with an excited smile on his face.

"Let's treat the firefighters to a meal!" Xu Mo suggested, thinking of expressing his gratitude to them.

"Good idea!" Widow Yu also agreed.

So Xu Mo led his team members to the firefighters and said sincerely: "Thank you for your timely rescue. We would like to treat you to a meal as a token of our gratitude."

The fire chief smiled slightly, looking a little surprised: "That's very polite, we are just doing our job."

"But your efforts have saved us from greater losses." Xu Mo said seriously, "Please accept our invitation."

Finally, the firefighters gladly accepted the invitation. Xu Mo took them to a nearby restaurant and ordered a sumptuous dinner. The atmosphere was harmonious and warm. Everyone talked about their experience in handling fires, and the firefighters also shared many interesting stories, with constant laughter.

After finishing the meal, the fire chief patted Xu Mo on the shoulder and said appreciatively: "Young man, I really appreciate your performance today. You have great leadership skills."

Xu Mo smiled and felt secretly proud in his heart, knowing that he not only protected his teammates in this emergency, but also won respect.

A few days later, Xu Mo's life gradually returned to normal. One weekend, Rita asked him to have dinner at her house and meet her parents. As soon as he arrived at Rita's house, he heard her mother busy in the kitchen.

"Xu Mo, come in quickly!" Rita's voice was a little nervous, "My mother wants to talk to you today."

Xu Mo's heart tightened, knowing that Rita's parents had been urging him to get married. Although he and Rita got along well, he was not clear about his future plans.

"Don't be nervous, I will help you." Rita smiled slightly, with a hint of encouragement in her eyes.

At the dinner table, Rita's parents greeted him warmly and asked about his work and future plans. Xu Mo tried to act relaxed and natural and answered their questions, but he was still a little nervous.

"Xu Mo, Rita has been with you for so long, have you ever thought about getting married?" Rita's mother finally spoke with anticipation in her eyes.

Xu Mo's heartbeat quickened. After thinking for a while, he decided to be honest: "I think we are still young now. I want to develop our careers first, and then consider other things."

"It's good to be young, but you have to seize opportunities." Rita's father nodded, his tone showing concern, "You have to plan your future well."

"I will." Xu Mo said seriously, secretly vowing in his heart to give Rita a bright future.

After dinner, Rita and Xu Mo watched the stars on the balcony. The atmosphere was relaxed and happy.

"Thank you for your performance today. Mom and Dad like you very much." Rita smiled slightly, with a gentle light in her eyes.

"I like you guys too." Xu Mo responded, and his heart gradually relaxed.

Just then, his cell phone rang, and his teammates sent him messages, inviting him to play games together. Xu Mo looked at the time and hesitated.

"Go ahead, it's okay with me." Rita said softly, as if she knew what he was thinking.

"But I want to stay with you a little longer." Xu Mo was a little reluctant, and his eyes revealed a feeling of reluctance.

"It's okay, go ahead and have fun." Rita smiled slightly, understanding in her eyes.

In the end, Xu Mo decided to play games with his teammates. He replied to the message and joined the game room, where his teammates warmly welcomed him.

"Xu Mo, you're finally here! Come and play together!" A Le shouted excitedly.

"Why are you so slow!" another teammate teased.

"Sorry, something happened just now." Xu Mo responded easily, but he was still thinking about Rita in his heart.

The game was in full swing, the teammates cooperated well, and Xu Mo was also immersed in the fun of the game, communicating tactics with his teammates from time to time.

But he knew in his heart that although games brought happiness, responsibilities in life and future planning were more important. He secretly decided to work hard in his career to create a better future for himself and Rita.

After the game, Xu Mo gathered himself and prepared to return to Rita's house, his heart full of anticipation.

As the night deepened, Xu Mo and Rita decided to go to the nearby night market. The lights of the night market were colorful, and the aroma of various delicacies filled the bustling crowd. Rita excitedly pulled Xu Mo and pointed to a stall selling skewers: "Let's go over there and take a look!"

"Okay, I'll treat you." Xu Mo responded with a smile, thinking about enjoying this relaxing night with Rita.

As soon as he walked to the stall, Xu Mo noticed that there was a vendor next to him shouting loudly, attracting many customers. But he noticed that the vendor deliberately added a few more coins when weighing. Xu Mo's heart tightened, thinking that there was something wrong with this vendor.

"Hey, big brother, I want to buy this." A young girl walked up and pointed at a skewer that looked very tempting.

"Okay, ten dollars a skewer." The vendor smiled and quickly handed the skewer to the girl.

"Why is this string so expensive? I just saw it was only five yuan at the stall next to me." The girl looked confused.

"This is specially made and it tastes absolutely delicious." The vendor raised his lips with a sinister smile and a hint of cunning in his eyes.

Xu Mo was dissatisfied and decided to stop him: "Big brother, this is not a good thing to do. The price of the stall next to you is obviously more reasonable, but you deliberately raised the price."

When the vendor heard this, his expression immediately changed and he angrily said, "What's it to you? This is my business, you can buy it or not!"

"Of course I care! Your behavior is defrauding consumers!" Xu Mo did not back down, looking straight into the vendor's eyes, his heart filled with a sense of justice.

People around began to watch, expressing their dissatisfaction with the vendor's behavior. Xu Mo mustered up his courage and continued, "We are all here to enjoy the food, there is no need to be deceived by such people!"

"Who do you think you are! Stop meddling in other people's business here!" The vendor pointed at Xu Mo angrily, his tone full of threats.

"I'm just not afraid of you!" Xu Mo was not afraid at all, and became more and more excited as he spoke, "We consumers have the right to choose reasonable prices, and we will never let people like you succeed!"

Some people in the crowd began to echo: "Yes, don't let him bully us!"

Seeing that the situation was not good, the vendor turned around with a gloomy face and tried to slip away. Seeing this, Xu Mo immediately stopped him: "You want to escape? You must give an explanation today!"

At this moment, a law enforcement officer happened to pass by and heard the noise. He immediately stepped forward to inquire about the situation. Xu Mo told the details of what happened, and the law enforcement officer immediately launched an investigation on the vendor.

In the end, the vendor was fined and Xu Mo won the applause of the people around him. Everyone thanked him and the girl also said gratefully: "Thank you, thank you so much!"

Xu Mo smiled slightly, feeling extremely proud. Rita watched from the side, with admiration in her eyes: "You are awesome!"

"It's nothing, I just did what I should do." Xu Mo said modestly.

The atmosphere of the night market became more and more lively, Xu Mo and Rita continued to visit several stalls, tasted various delicacies, and enjoyed this pleasant night. Just as they were about to end, Rita suggested going to KTV to sing and relax.

"Okay, I'm just thinking of singing a few songs." Xu Mo nodded in agreement, looking forward to spending a pleasant night with Rita.

They came to a lively KTV, ordered a few popular songs, and enjoyed the charm of music. At this time, Xu Mo noticed that a girl, Su Yuran, was being harassed by a boss who looked malicious.

"If you don't drink with me, I'll kick you out!" The boss's face was full of disdain and his tone was threatening.

Su Yuran looked helpless, with fear flashing in her eyes: "I really don't want to drink, please let me go."

Xu Mo's heart tightened, and he immediately realized the seriousness of the matter. He stepped forward and said firmly: "Sir, please let her go. She doesn't want to drink, you can't force her!"

The boss was stunned, then turned around with a sneer on his face: "Who are you? How dare you meddle in my business?"

"I'm just not afraid of you!" Xu Mo did not flinch, his eyes were firm, "Your behavior is illegal, let her go!"

The customers around began to pay attention to this scene, and some began to whisper, expressing their support for Xu Mo. The boss's face gradually became gloomy, and he obviously didn't expect that someone would dare to stand up and resist.

"What do you want to do? Do you believe that I will make you look bad here?" the boss threatened, his tone full of hostility.

"I won't back down!" Xu Mo was fearless and full of a sense of justice. "You can't treat others this way!"

As the two were confronting each other, the KTV staff also noticed this and quickly came to stop it. After investigation, the boss's behavior was deemed harassment and he was eventually asked to leave the KTV and received the corresponding punishment.

Su Yuran looked at Xu Mo gratefully, with emotion in her eyes: "Thank you, thank you so much!"

"It's okay, everyone should help each other." Xu Mo smiled slightly, feeling a little warm in his heart.

"I...I've always wanted to tell you that I have a crush on you." Su Yuran suddenly mustered up the courage, her face flushed, and her tone was a little shy, "Can you consider me?"

Xu Mo was stunned for a moment, and his heart tightened, realizing that this girl had special feelings for him. He looked at Su Yuran seriously, and said in a gentle but firm tone: "Thank you, I am very touched, but I have someone I like now, and I can't accept your feelings."

Su Yuran's expression changed slightly, and a trace of disappointment flashed in her eyes, but she tried to force a smile: "I understand, it's okay, I will bless you."

"Thank you for your understanding." Xu Mo felt a little guilty, but he knew that he had to be honest with his feelings.

The atmosphere in the KTV returned to a cheerful state, and Xu Mo and Rita continued to sing and enjoy this wonderful night. Although they had experienced many twists and turns, Xu Mo felt full of strength in his heart. He knew that no matter what the future held, he would work hard to create a better tomorrow for himself and Rita.
