Su Mei carefully handed over the phone, and only withdrew her hand after the other person had received it.
Saving a life is more meritorious than building a seven-story pagoda.
When Su Mei handed him the phone, the older man outside had already asked his wife to call the front desk.
He noticed the phone had no service, took out his own phone, and randomly dialed a number.
beep.
He was calling Fu Xiuchen.
Fu Xiuchen wouldn't miss a call at this moment, so he answered immediately, his voice soft: "Hello."
"Two girls are trapped in the elevator. Which one are you? If you're not in the hotel, come and see me, haha."
Fu Xiuchen and Fu Jincheng exchanged a glance.
My heart felt like it stopped for a second.
Fu Jincheng took the phone and spoke to the other person in the same language: "I'm her brother Lao Guan, which hotel are you at?"
"In the Imperial City, this is the tenth floor, you..."
The man paused for a moment, then cried out in alarm, "Oh no! Oh no, the elevator is falling again! You two girls, can't you hear me? Stop moving? Good heavens, why hasn't anyone come to rescue us yet?"
ah--
Besides the man's screams, there was also a woman's voice, not very clear, a desperate scream.
Fu Jincheng's heart tightened suddenly.
In that instant, Fu Xiuchen slammed on the gas, and the car sped off, running the red light ahead.
"Hey, hey, are you still there?"
"I'm here, I'm here. Those two don't know what's going on, and they're really worried sick."
Fu Jincheng's thin lips trembled slightly: "Please don't hang up the phone."
"I know, I know. My wife is contacting the elevator management company. I didn't hear any loud noise. The two girls should be safe. They were probably just scared out of their wits."
"Thank you, we'll be right there."
The man muttered to himself, "Oh dear, I hope nothing bad happens. Judging from the voices, there are two young girls involved."
Fu Xiuchen's clear eyes were already bloodshot.
He kept redialing Fu Mengyao's number.
The phone had been switched off until now, and finally, at this moment, the call connected.
Fu Mengyao's voice was exactly the same as usual: "Hey, big brother."
Where are you?
“I’m in the Imperial City, why is your voice so hoarse?” Fu Mengyao asked, stunned.
"I'm asking you, is Tang Yaoyao's accident related to you?"
Fu Mengyao frowned and asked in confusion, "Who?"
"The female lead in 'The Fox Fairy'."
"Her... Brother, when did you start caring about women in the entertainment industry? Could it be that you've taken a liking to her?" Fu Mengyao seemed to only just remember, and teased with a smile.
What are you doing in Emperor City?
Fu Mengyao said casually, "Brother, why are you acting so strangely today? Didn't I say I was going to visit my crush today? Of course, I'm having dinner with him here."
"you……"
"Oh, right, it seems he called his leading lady to pick him up not long ago, and it's been almost an hour, and she still hasn't arrived." Fu Mengyao interrupted him, her voice full of doubt.
"Have you contacted them?"
“Yeah, bro, if you take a fancy to this woman, I’ll give you my opinion when she comes over,” Fu Mengyao said playfully.
Fu Xiuchen's clear eyes were full of scrutiny as he pondered the truthfulness of her words.
After a brief silence, Fu Xiuchen said, "She was trapped in the elevator of the Emperor City."
"What!?"
Fu Jincheng also frowned, listening carefully to the conversation between Fu Mengyao and her older brother.
Fu Mengyao paused for a moment, then started running.
The two could clearly hear the irregular sound of high heels clicking on the ground coming from the other end of the phone.
Then, Fu Mengyao's somewhat unsteady voice rang out: "I'll go check the elevator entrance, I hope nothing bad has happened."
Less than three minutes later, Fu Mengyao's voice came again: "There are three elevators here, and they are all broken now. I don't know which one she is trapped in."
The two brothers were on tenterhooks.
Fu Mengyao suddenly asked very seriously, "Brother, tell me honestly, have you taken a liking to this woman?"
Fu Xiuchen frowned, unsure how to answer for a moment, and looked at his younger brother.
Fu Jincheng nodded.
He said, "Hmm."
"Alright, don't worry, with me here, nothing will happen to her. I'll go down the stairs and call out to her from floor to floor." Fu Mengyao's tone was very domineering as she pushed open the door next to the emergency exit.
The sound of high heels clicking on the stairs made Fu Xiuchen feel a sudden pang of guilt.
Did he and his second brother misunderstand Yao Yao?
"Don't wear high heels, be careful not to twist your ankle."
"Okay, brother, I'll hang up now. I'll call you back when I find it. You should come over now." Fu Mengyao's voice was very serious.
"good."
After hanging up the phone, Fu Xiuchen did not slow down. At this moment, he only hoped that his sister would be safe and sound.
Fu Jincheng fell into deep thought, but the coldness in his eyes had not yet dissipated.
As for the truth, he will find out for himself.
But it's best if this matter really has nothing to do with Fu Mengyao.
...
Tang Yaoyao and Su Mei didn't know which floor they were on because the numbers on the floor were all blacked out and they couldn't turn them on no matter what they did.
Fortunately, the gap, about half the width of a little finger, wasn't closed, so at least it could keep him alive.
Neither of them spoke, because they were both trapped inside and suffering from heatstroke.
Just then, they suddenly heard clear footsteps coming from the rooftop.
Pat, pat, pat...
The sound was like someone running barefoot on the ground, in a great hurry.
Su Mei inexplicably felt a chill rise up her spine, a chill that was extremely terrifying.
This is a five-star hotel with dozens of floors. How could there be people walking barefoot in the dark corridors?
What is that?
"Brother Yao..."
Tang Yaoyao naturally heard it too.
Suddenly, the sound stopped, and a panting female voice came: "Tang Yaoyao, are you in the elevator?"
Su Mei was stunned; it was an unfamiliar female voice.
Just as she was about to answer, Tang Yaoyao shook her head: "Shh."
Yao Ge has become somewhat famous in the entertainment industry, which has attracted a lot of hatred. What if someone knows she is trapped here and comes to see her off?
Thinking of this, Su Mei dared not utter a sound.
Since they didn't know who the other party was or what their intentions were, they could only wait and see.
However, this woman's voice is very pleasant.
Or perhaps it was the ethereal atmosphere in the hallway that made her mature, older-sisterly voice even more pleasant to hear, making her feel favorably towards her.
Tang Yaoyao squinted to rest, seemingly oblivious to the sounds outside.
Although Tang Yaoyao couldn't foresee things related to her, her premonition was very clear.
When she heard the woman's footsteps, she had a strong feeling of unease.
Whether it's because the elevator is about to fall again, or because of this woman, it's best not to talk to strangers at this time.
Fu Mengyao walked into the corridor and looked at the closed elevator doors: "Tang Yaoyao, if you're on this floor, answer me, are you alright? My brother is very worried about you."
