Lin Zhibai's expression was naturally not good; he probably already knew what had happened.
However, he stopped beside Liang Zixin and Gu Fanyan without saying a word.
Liang Zixin withdrew her gaze and continued, "Turn off the power immediately!"
A short while later, a hissing sound was heard from a distance on the dock, and all the electrical equipment on the dock stopped.
The container was suspended in mid-air.
“This won’t work either,” Gu Fanyan said worriedly. “We have to let it go.”
Liang Zixin said, "These things are now controlled by computer programs, but there are also manual control systems to guard against unexpected situations."
"Don't worry, I'll go up and lower the container."
Gu Fanyan asked in surprise, "You?"
A hint of worry flashed in her eyes. It was so high, didn't they have any professional technicians? Did he, the "young master" of the group, have to go up there himself?
Lin Zhibai saw the worry in her eyes and his gaze darkened slightly. "Young Master Liang, I won't trouble you with this matter. The person in the container is my mother. I'll figure it out myself."
He gave a signal, and the two assistants behind him began to act.
"Wait a minute!" Liang Zixin immediately called out to them, "Young Master Lin, it's not that I'm belittling you, but operating this thing requires professional skills."
"You wouldn't want the container to fall out of control from mid-air due to operational error, would you?"
Gu Fanyan imagined the scene he described, and her face suddenly turned pale.
Lin Zhibai's two assistants also dared not act rashly.
Liang Zixin arrived at the foot of the tower where the control console was located and waited for the private elevator to slowly descend.
The elevator doors opened, and he stepped in. Suddenly, he noticed a figure appear beside him out of the corner of his eye.
Lin Zhibai followed him in.
“I’ve worked in the console for two years,” Liang Zixin raised an eyebrow. “Young Master Lin, you also have experience working in the console?”
“No,” Lin Zhibai replied, “I can assist Young Master Liang.”
"Besides, I believe that if there is any danger, I can only take action myself... I can't let Young Master Liang risk his life to save my mother."
The elevator started going up, and although it was using backup power, the speed was not slow.
“Young Master Lin,” Liang Zixin began, “we are both mature men now. Attracting women shouldn’t rely on untimely appearances.”
Lin Zhibai felt slightly annoyed.
That's right, he followed not only because he was worried about his mother, but also because he didn't want Liang Zixin to seem too useful.
Unexpectedly, Liang Zixin saw through his thoughts.
He didn't react, but gave a cold laugh and asked, "So, Young Master Liang, how did you attract women back then?"
He said "woman," but both of them understood that "woman" referred to Gu Fanyan.
Liang Zixin smiled and said, "You'll have to ask her about that."
His smug look made Lin Zhibai's anger flare up, and he almost threw a punch...
With a "click," the elevator swayed slightly and then came to a sudden stop.
"Young Master Liang!" The staff at the control panel ushered the two in and reported a new development: "The technology was upgraded recently, and if you want to operate it manually, you can only do so from the container."
But the control panel and the container are separated by a long crane arm.
The boom is over a hundred meters above the ground.
Liang Zixin was speechless. They called this a technology upgrade?
The other party was also helpless; a power outage was something no one had expected!
Reaching the top of the container is a safe and simple matter when there is electricity!
"Young Master Liang, look!" Suddenly, a staff member pointed out the window.
When Liang Zixin saw this, she immediately felt overwhelmed.
In the brief moment of their conversation, Lin Zhibai actually left the control room, tied the safety rope around his waist, and walked onto the crane arm alone.
"He hasn't received any professional training. It's very dangerous for him to go up there like this. Call him back quickly!" the staff member shouted.
“No need,” Liang Zixin said as she walked out of the control room. “You can’t call him back. I’ll go over right away.”
Lin Zhibai had just jumped onto the top of the container when Liang Zixin arrived.
"I can do it." Lin Zhibai's eyes showed no sign of disdain.
Liang Zixin didn't say anything, but stepped forward and opened the box lid that controls the container. "Young Master Lin, you can operate it."
The box contained several coils of steel cable and five buttons of different colors.
The functions are labeled next to the buttons, but they are in a foreign language.
It just so happens to be a foreign language that Lin Zhibai cannot understand.
Liang Zixin seemed to have anticipated this awkward situation, and raised an eyebrow at Lin Zhibai, "Young Master Lin, this kind of thing is very professional. If you don't know how, just say so. It's not shameful."
Lin Zhibai ignored him and reached into the box, pressing the red button.
The machine started running with a "click-clack" sound, the cable gradually turned, and the container suspended in mid-air began to be lowered little by little.
Liang Zixin was taken aback. "You can understand this?" She really hadn't expected it.
Lin Zhibai asked, "Can the rope be lowered a little faster?"
After the container lands safely, you still have to break the lock and open the door.
Liang Zixin shrugged: "You can understand it, so why don't you try it yourself?"
Before they could finish speaking, the container beneath their feet suddenly began to shake violently.
Looking up, I suddenly saw a man on the crane boom. He was wearing a jumpsuit, a baseball cap, and gloves, and he was holding an electric arc torch, cutting the cables that were suspending the container!
The electric melting gun was extremely hot, and it melted a hole in the cable!
The container is currently more than 50 meters above the ground. If it were to fall now, the people inside and outside the container would either die or be seriously injured!
"Who are those people!" On the ground, Gu Fanyan and the Lin family's assistants also noticed this unexpected situation.
"No matter who they are, ensure their safety first," Gu Fanyan said to her assistants, calming down immediately. "There must be inflatable cushions at the dock. Go and get them, the more the better!"
The assistants rushed off.
Without much thought, Liang Zixin grabbed the rope and started climbing.
"What are you doing?" Lin Zhibai grabbed him.
"I'll climb up and kill him!" Liang Zixin roared.
He was certain that this person was not sent by the Liang family, but this person must be trying to cause trouble among the Lin, Liang, and Gu families!
As a member of the Liang family, he absolutely would not allow anyone to act so recklessly on his own turf!
“You can’t climb up there!” Lin Zhibai gripped his arm tightly. “He’s in a good position on top; one kick and you’ll fall!”
“If he cuts the cable, we’ll all die!” Liang Zixin retorted.
"Not necessarily!" Lin Zhibai surveyed the terrain. "Let him cut, buy us time, and then we'll have a chance to capture him and find out his background!"
At this moment, Liang Zixin saw that the people on the ground had brought out a lot of inflatable cushions.
"Okay! Okay! We won't die if we fall!" Liang Zixin turned to the man cutting the rope and shouted, "Cut as much as you want, you can't escape after you're done!"
Before he finished speaking, the man suddenly climbed down the cable and landed lightly on the container.
The container, whose cable had been cut in half, began to sway violently.
Liang Zixin and Lin Zhibai were almost thrown off, causing everyone to scream in fear!
Fortunately, both of them managed to grab the edge of the container in time!
"Lin Zhibai, watch out!" Gu Fanyan's heart was pounding, and she couldn't help but shout loudly!
