Chapter 267 Chapter 267 Shen Qinghuan was trapped in the elevator
Before she could say anything, Jiang Yu continued, "I'll pick you up! I haven't eaten anything yet, so I'll take you out to eat later."
Shen Qinghuan glanced at the artwork on the computer screen, hesitated for a moment and said, "Okay then! How long will it take you to get here?"
I wasn't hungry originally, but after hearing what he said, my stomach started to growl.
"About twenty minutes!"
…
Shen Qinghuan was shocked by the speed at which time passed.
She only lowered her head to draw the draft for a while, and more than 20 minutes had passed. The cell phone in her bag rang at an inopportune time. She puffed out her cheeks and grabbed the phone helplessly.
A familiar man's voice came from my ears: "Are you done? I'm already downstairs in your studio."
"Well, I'll be down right away when I'm done. Wait for me."
After hanging up, she quickly packed her things.
Only after making sure that nothing was left behind did she stand up and walk outside.
The corridor was very quiet, with no one in it.
The elevator just stopped at the floor of their studio. Shen Qinghuan pressed the elevator button and the elevator door slowly opened.
She stepped forward.
The car starts to move downward.
Suddenly, the whole car clanged, Shen Qinghuan's heart tightened, and his face turned pale instantly.
Before she could react, the next second, the narrow cabin was plunged into pitch-black darkness.
The boundless panic was like a powerful palm, tugging at her heart. She gasped for breath, pressed her body against the wall of the car as much as possible, and forced herself to calm down.
Exhaling slowly, Shen Qinghuan fumbled to take out her cell phone from her bag and turned on the flashlight.
The vast darkness was immediately dispelled.
She quickly pressed the emergency call button in the elevator. After a while, a voice came from inside: "What's going on?"
Shen Qinghuan adjusted his mentality and suppressed the panic in his heart and said, "There's a problem with the elevator. I'm stuck between the fifth and sixth floors. Can you send someone to rescue me as soon as possible?"
"Wait a moment, don't be afraid. I'll contact security to rescue you."
"Okay, okay! Thank you."
…
After ending the call, Shen Qinghuan secretly breathed a sigh of relief and forced himself not to think about the terrible things that had happened.
She pressed her body tightly against the wall of the car, her knees slightly bent, not daring to move.
Suddenly, the elevator shook again, and Shen Qinghuan screamed in fright: "Ah——"
At the same time, the cell phone held in her palm rang.
She didn't even look at it and put it directly to her ear.
"Are you down yet?"
Listening to the man's hoarse voice, Shen Qinghuan felt inexplicably aggrieved, and a hint of red unconsciously appeared at the corners of her eyes. The corners of her lips moved slightly, and her voice trembled: "Jiang Yu, I, I'm trapped in the elevator."
On the other end of the phone, Jiang Yu's expression turned visibly grim. He asked anxiously, "Which floor is the elevator stopped at? I'll rush over right away."
"It should be the fourth floor."
"Huanhuan, don't be afraid, I'll come to you now."
Jiang Yu ran away like a gust of wind.
In one breath, he climbed up to the fourth floor from the emergency passage. He was a little out of breath. While climbing the stairs, he comforted Shen Qinghuan, telling her not to be afraid and that everything would be fine...
Soon, Jiang Yu was standing outside the elevator.
But he didn't dare to open the elevator door at will. If he operated it improperly, the elevator would fall down. Such news had been reported before.
At this moment, he could only pretend to be calm and stand guard at the door. He didn't have the courage to gamble with her safety and life again.
"Huanhuan, don't be afraid! The elevator maintenance staff will be here soon."
Through a thick iron door, Jiang Yu could feel his voice trembling uncontrollably.
He was clearly trying to comfort Shen Qinghuan, but in fact, it would be more accurate to say that he was comforting himself.
In the elevator.
Shen Qinghuan seemed to feel less panicked when she heard the familiar voice.
But the next second, her cell phone suddenly ran out of battery, the light in front of her eyes disappeared, and the narrow cabin was once again plunged into darkness as thick as ink.
She swallowed hard. Jiang Yu, who was standing outside the elevator, had become her only hope.
"You, are you still outside?" Shen Qinghuan asked in a hoarse voice, pretending to be calm.
But even so, the slight tremor in her voice still betrayed her current emotions.
She was panicking, she was scared.
There was a pitch-black darkness before my eyes, so thick that I couldn't see my hand in front of my face. It made me feel uncomfortable all over, and I even felt like I was being swallowed by a terrible monster.
Jiang Yu's heart suddenly jumped, and he quickly spoke to comfort her: "Huanhuan, I'm always here. I'm not going anywhere. I'll be here to protect you until you come out. I'm not lying to you."
He knew better than anyone how strong Shen Qinghuan's personality was, but just now, she had actually taken the initiative to ask him if he was still outside? This was enough to show how panicked she was at that moment.
She would rather bow to him and seek his protection than face those fears alone.
"Don't be afraid! The maintenance personnel will be here soon."
"I, I know. I'm not afraid, not at all."
As if afraid that Jiang Yu wouldn't believe her, Shen Qinghuan gritted her teeth and added, "I'm really not afraid at all."
Jiang Yu lowered his eyes and smiled helplessly, "I know you are not afraid."
He also wanted to say that he was afraid, he was afraid of losing her.
After a while, the property security personnel rushed over.
Without saying a word, they walked forward and opened the elevator door with brute force.
By the time Jiang Yu reacted and wanted to stop it, it was too late.
They seemed to be very experienced, and facts proved that they were indeed experienced. The tightly closed elevator door was quickly opened by them.
Hearing the sound of the door being pried open outside, Shen Qinghuan's heart rose to his throat. He held the handrail tightly with both hands, fearing that an accident would suddenly happen and the elevator would fall from here.
Fortunately, there was no harm.
The moment the elevator door opened, bright light shone in, and the security personnel immediately pulled Shen Qinghuan out of the car.
At this time, the elevator was stuck between the fourth and fifth floors, half a meter away from the ground.
After coming out of the elevator, Shen Qinghuan's legs were almost weak and she couldn't even stand up. If Jiang Yu hadn't supported her, she would have collapsed on the ground.
Suddenly, there was a clattering sound.
Before they could react, they heard a loud "bang", which sounded like something heavy falling to the ground.
Shen Qinghuan was stunned for a moment, then belatedly remembered something. His face turned pale instantly, and his fingers were tightly clenched together.
Jiang Yu's expression also looked ugly.
He pulled Shen Qinghuan into his arms tightly, as if he had found her again, and murmured, "It's okay! It's okay now!"
He held her comfortingly and gently stroked her back.
Shen Qinghuan's whole body was stiff, and his throat felt choked, so he couldn't utter a word.
