Chapter 82 Trapped in the Elevator
Gu Ye and Xue Bai arrived at the company entrance, but did not see Chu Xinglan and Ye Xiaoxiao. Xue Bai looked around but did not see either of them.
"Stop looking, they've already joined the company," Gu Ye said calmly to Xue Bai.
"Boss, you know?"
"I knew it." It must have been that troublesome little girl's idea again.
"Boss, do we really look like the big bad wolf? Look, we've even scared the little white rabbit away!" Xue Bai looked at Gu Ye, completely lacking in self-awareness.
"Don't you want to be the big bad wolf?" Gu Ye smiled slightly.
"Yes, I want to so much." Xue Bai nodded quickly.
The two continued walking forward, and at this point, a large crowd had gathered at the elevator entrance, and everyone was talking about it.
"What's going on?" Xue Bai and Gu Ye walked forward. Gu Ye frowned and asked sternly.
"Boss, Assistant Xue. Someone is trapped in the elevator," one of them said timidly as he approached.
Gu Ye and Xue Bai were unaware that the person trapped inside was the most important person in their lives, so they were not panicked, but they were worried about the safety of the person inside.
"Did you call a repairman?" Xue Bai asked.
"It's already been done, but it will take a while."
"Do you know who's trapped inside?" Xue Bai asked again.
"It seems to be..." The man glanced at Xue Bai with a strange expression and whispered, "Secretary Chu and someone named Ye Xiaoxiao."
"What?" Xue Bai exclaimed in surprise.
"Say it again, who's trapped inside?" Gu Ye's voice was unusually cold.
The man shuddered and hurriedly said, "Secretary Chu and Ye Xiaoxiao are trapped inside."
"What are you all doing? The elevator broke down and no one even notified us?"
Gu Ye hurriedly pushed through the crowd and tried to pry open the elevator door with his bare hands.
"Boss, be careful not to hurt yourself." The employee next to him was worried that something might happen to Gu Ye. He wondered why the boss was so anxious when the one trapped was clearly Assistant Xue's girlfriend.
At this moment, Xue Bai was also anxiously making a phone call.
"Have you arrived yet? Hurry up and come over."
Gu Ye tried his best, but the elevator doors didn't budge. He turned around, snatched the phone from Xue Bai's hand, and said in a commanding tone, "I order you to come here immediately, or you'll face the consequences!"
After finishing his call, Gu Ye tossed the phone back into Xue Bai's hand and then pounded on the elevator door as if punishing himself.
Xue Bai was also sweating profusely with anxiety.
The repair crew rushed over.
"Boss, the elevator car has already dropped to the basement level."
"What did you say?" Gu Ye's already tense heartstrings were now in his throat. He grabbed one of the repairmen and roared angrily, "Hurry up and find a way to rescue them! If anything happens to the people inside, I'll make you pay a heavy price!"
The maintenance worker was terrified by Gu Ye's imposing manner and didn't dare to hesitate for a moment. He quickly took another elevator to the next floor to rescue the person.
Gu Ye seemed to have all his strength drained away, and staggered backward.
"Boss, let's go down quickly too."
Xue Bai also tried to remain calm. He grabbed Gu Ye and said to him.
The company elevator malfunctioned, trapping some people inside. Other employees, unable to concentrate on their work, ran to the basement parking lot together.
Maintenance workers are forcibly opening the elevator door.
Xue Bai was as anxious as an ant on a hot pan. He wanted to help, but he was afraid of hindering the repairman's progress. So he could only pace around anxiously, like a headless fly.
Those around Xue Bai, seeing how nervous he was, naturally understood why he was anxious. After all, his girlfriend was among those trapped inside.
"Assistant Xue, don't worry too much, Secretary Chu should be fine," someone comforted Xue Bai.
At this moment, Xue Bai didn't care what others said. All he cared about was Ye Xiaoxiao's safety. As for how others misunderstood, that was their business.
"That's hard to say, after all, the elevator goes from the first floor to the basement. Even if you don't die from the fall, you'll be injured," another person said, stating the reality.
"That's true. I just hope they'll be blessed with good fortune."
"Even if they don't die from the fall, they'll still die from suffocation," someone suddenly said.
Immediately, the others began to look at him with strange eyes.
The man realized he had said the wrong thing and quickly shut his mouth.
Hearing their words, Xue Bai became even more anxious.
Gu Ye stood by, anxious, in pain, and tormented, his hands clenched so tightly that his fingernails dug into his flesh, drawing blood, yet he felt nothing.
Lanlan, am I destined to face the pain of losing you again in this life?
Grandpa, since you've given me a second chance at life, why can't you let me protect her properly?
Gu Ye, who originally did not believe in ghosts and gods, now does. He prays to all the gods in his heart, hoping to save Chu Xinglan's life.
The elevator was pitch black, and Chu Xinglan and Ye Xiaoxiao were unconscious.
Chu Xinglan was awakened by a voice: "Mommy, I feel so bad, Mommy!"
The little baby was shaking Chu Xinglan.
Chu Xinglan slowly opened her eyes, only to find everything pitch black. However, in this dark world, the little baby was protected by a faint white light.
"Baby, what's wrong?"
Chu Xinglan groped her way to stand up, but found that her leg seemed to be broken and she couldn't move at all. She struggled to take out her phone to light the way and found that she was still in the elevator with Ye Xiaoxiao lying next to her. She didn't know if Ye Xiaoxiao was alright, but she knew that they were trapped in the elevator.
"Mommy, I'm suffocating!" The little baby looked like he was in great pain.
"Don't be afraid, baby, we'll be alright," Chu Xinglan comforted the little baby.
She then shook Ye Xiaoxiao beside her.
"Xiaoxiao, wake up!"
Ye Xiaoxiao slowly woke up, feeling a splitting headache.
"Xinglan, what happened?" Ye Xiaoxiao touched her head.
"We're trapped in the elevator."
"Oh right, our elevator is malfunctioning." Ye Xiaoxiao suddenly sat up from the ground.
"Xiaoxiao, are you alright?" Chu Xinglan asked with concern.
"I'm okay, I just have a terrible headache. How about you?" Ye Xiaoxiao asked.
"I think my leg is broken and I can't move it."
"What should we do? We're trapped here, we can't get out, and we don't even know if there's anyone outside. We're also running out of oxygen." Ye Xiaoxiao was very worried.
"It's rush hour right now, there are definitely people outside, but we don't know if they know we're trapped here."
Chu Xinglan looked at the baby whose face was getting paler and paler, and felt very anxious.
It's possible that her injury caused an abnormality in the baby in her womb. If this continues, the baby might not survive.
Chu Xinglan touched her stomach, and the oxygen here was getting lower and lower. Was she really going to die here? She never thought that even after being reborn, she still wouldn't be able to protect her baby, and she still couldn't change her fate of death!
