Li Xiangdong didn't think much, grabbed the hose, turned on the water, and sprayed it at Dou Bin.

Anyone who has studied middle school chemistry knows that alcohol fires should not be extinguished with water. Alcohol is a highly flammable liquid that can dissolve in water. If water is used to extinguish an alcohol fire, it will not only fail to extinguish the flames but will also dilute the unburned alcohol, increasing its fluidity and expanding the area of the fire. The effect of extinguishing the fire will be counterproductive.

The correct way to extinguish an alcohol fire is to wrap the burning person or object in a wet blanket to isolate the alcohol from the air, thus achieving the purpose of extinguishing the fire. Alternatively, a dry powder fire extinguisher can be used to isolate the alcohol from the air, which is the best method.

Of course, for many people, this knowledge might have been forgotten since middle school. Those with such professional fire-fighting knowledge are probably only firefighters.

So, when Li Xiangdong used the hose to extinguish the fire on Dou Bin, it seemed like a normal and reasonable action to many, including An Jianing, Wang Luoshi, and Hu Ying. They were all impressed by his calmness and composure in the chaotic scene, as if he were a robot.

However, they soon came to their senses and were eager to help.

On the ground, Dou Bin was rolling around, screaming in agony. His body was covered in a pale blue flame over 90% of its surface. As a large amount of water was poured over him, the fire weakened, but it did not go out. Instead, it began to produce white smoke, and the burning area expanded as more water was poured over him.

Li Xiangdong held the hose, his face cold. At this moment, he knew that the hose in his hand was no less dangerous than a gasoline gun.

As for the continuously rolling and screaming Dou Bin, Li Xiangdong felt no pity.

To be honest, although Lu Jian was detestable, this Dou Bin was even more so. As a lackey, his actions could be described as deserving universal condemnation.

Li Xiangdong and Lu Jian were from two different worlds and had little interaction. Over the years, apart from the incident a few days ago, there had been no significant conflicts between them.

But Dou Bin was different. He, like Li Xiangdong, came from a common family. However, after entering school, he did not focus on improving himself or studying but instead devoted all his energy to flattering and ingratiating himself with the wealthy and powerful students.

After attaching himself to a rich second-generation like Lu Jian, he immediately became arrogant, as if being a lackey to Lu Jian was something to be proud of.

In the eight-person dormitory where Li Xiangdong lived, Dou Bin was extremely arrogant and bullying classmates was a regular occurrence.

The low-profile Li Xiangdong was a long-term target of his bullying and pranks.

Over nearly four years, Li Xiangdong initially thought Dou Bin was just despicable but not entirely bad.

However, as the pranks escalated over the years, in Li Xiangdong's eyes, Dou Bin was no longer just a despicable classmate but a hateful and despicable person.

Take today's incident, for example. Dou Bin quietly approached Li Xiangdong from behind, planning to trick him.

If it were the old Li Xiangdong, he might have fallen for it, and if he had, the one lying on the ground screaming in agony would be Li Xiangdong himself.

So how could Li Xiangdong not hate Dou Bin? When Dou Bin bumped into him, he had already figured out that this was a plan concocted by Dou Bin and Lu Jian.

On the surface, it seemed like a prank, but the serious consequences of this prank were unimaginable.

If Li Xiangdong had fallen for it, what would they do afterward? Would they admit their mistake and offer substantial compensation? Definitely not.

Even if Lu Jian's family had money and offered generous compensation, if Li Xiangdong had been burned by such a fire, his life would have been ruined.

So, the moment he figured out their sinister intentions, Li Xiangdong hated them to the core.

That's why he had the 'rescue' scene. The fire on Lu Jian's hand was extinguished, but it was only after he plunged Lu Jian's hand into the hot pot, isolating it from the air, that the fire went out.

However, that hand, first burned and then boiled in hot soup, had its flesh stripped from the bone when it was taken out of the pot. The consequences were obvious; it was definitely ruined.

As for Dou Bin, who was lying on the ground, Li Xiangdong's heart was even colder. As a loyal lackey, he was indeed qualified, but to please his master, he disregarded others' safety, making him even more despicable.

So, even if Dou Bin suffered more, Li Xiangdong felt no pity. For these two, today was their own doing.

At this moment, he held the hose, continuously spraying water, seemingly to extinguish the fire, but in reality, he was adding fuel to the flames.

Even if the firefighters arrived, they wouldn't have much to say. After all, how could ordinary people know so much about fire-fighting? In such a chaotic situation, his ability to remain calm and find the fire hydrant to extinguish the fire was already commendable.

Dou Bin continued to scream in agony, his body completely covered in flames. The exposed skin on his body was cracking and sizzling, emitting a smell of roasted meat. The women in the room turned away at the sight.

Li Xiangdong saw that it was almost over. If the burning continued, Dou Bin would definitely die. He shouted at the women.

"What are you waiting for? Do you have any extra clothes? Quickly take them out and put them on him to extinguish the fire!"

The women finally reacted. It just so happened that Hu Ying and An Jianing had bought a few T-shirts while shopping today, which they quickly took out and slapped onto Dou Bin's body.

However, the effect was not good. The skin on his body was already rotten, and each slap not only failed to extinguish the fire but also tore off pieces of flesh.

The girls soon couldn't bear it and vomited. Li Xiangdong didn't waste time, covering Dou Bin's body with the T-shirts and then turning on the hose to drench him.
