Chapter 169: A Beautiful Misunderstanding (2)

When Zhao Youlin saw that Mu Tingfeng did not answer her question even after a long time, she became even more certain of her theory. Despite her shock, she also felt pity toward Mu Tingfeng.

If a man was afraid of the dark, nine times out of ten it was because he had experienced a mental trauma in some sort of situation, such as being cruelly shut in a small, dark room for a long time, or being thrown outside during the dark to fend for himself and escape death, or…

Zhao Youlin was originally a police officer, and she had seen plenty of things like this before, and the first things she thought about were this series of possibilities.

When she remembered Mu Tingfeng’s status, Zhao Youlin easily conjured up all the possibilities behind why Mu Tingfeng would be afraid of the dark, and she found an absolutely suitable reason for Mu Tingfeng to be afraid of the dark.

With that thought in mind, Zhao Youlin’s originally stiff body slowly relaxed in Mu Tingfeng’s arms.

‘Forget it. Since he’s so pitiful and we’re in the same predicament, I’ll let him hug me to comfort his tormented soul.’

Mu Tingfeng waited for a long time, and finally, the person in his arms relaxed. His eyes gradually turned gentle, and a cunning smile formed on his lips because his plan had worked.

Unfortunately, at that moment, the elevator was dark, and the only witness present could not notice this.

The atmosphere between the two people in the elevator slowly became cordial. They did not know that the people downstairs were already in a state of chaos.

Once they received the emergency signal from the elevator, the security room instantly descended into chaos. After all, the elevator that encountered a problem was not just any elevator. It was the one specifically made for the general manager.

Most importantly, this elevator had broken down while it was being used. This meant that… there was someone in the elevator, and it was highly likely that it was the general manager herself.

Having an elevator break down was already scary enough, but when there was an important person in the elevator, it became even scarier. The security guards in the security room became nervous, and they quickly looked for the elevator technician before they headed to where the elevator was.

Xia Zhetao followed Zhao Youxi. Just as he arrived in front of the elevator door, he heard those employees hurry upstairs, and they were shouting at each other with incredibly panicked voices, “Quick, something’s wrong with the cable of the elevator above us. One of them has already snapped. The other ones are showing signs of corrosion. They won’t last long and will snap one after another. The elevator is now stuck between the 45th and 46th floors. Have someone think of a way to get the elevator open. The general manager is still inside!”

When Xia Zhetao heard the employees’ words, his expression changed drastically. Zhao Youxi had been running in front of him, and her face was pale as well. Her delicate body swayed, and she looked like she was about to fall at any moment.

Xia Zhetao cast Zhao Youxi an instinctive glance, and he saw panic, despair, and a hint of guilt on her face, but saw no signs of shock. It seemed like she was already expecting something to happen to the elevator.

Once he realized this, Xia Zhetao scowled, and when he stared at Zhao Youxi’s his gaze became complicated.

But before he could think about this in-depth, those employees quickly rushed past him, stirring up wind as they did so. At the same time, they snapped him out of his daze.

Xia Zhetao shuddered, and he instinctively shouted, “Wait, there’s one more person in the elevator! My president is inside too!”

The employees who were running up heard Xia Zhetao’s shout, and they instinctively stopped. One of them was the first to register what he said, and he asked, “Who is your president?”

“I’m the secretary of Mu Tingfeng, who’s the president of Mu Feng Group. My president went into the elevator with the former… with your general manager. Right now, he should be stuck in the elevator with your general manager.”

The group was speechless.

Someone… from Mu Feng Group? Then, the other person in the elevator was the young master of the Mu family, the president of Mu Feng Group, and the legendary ex-husband of the general manager!

It was already nerve-wracking that the general manager was trapped in the elevator, but now, President Mu was also trapped inside, and this definitely spelled trouble!

Zhao Youxi’s face turned pale when she saw Xia Zhetao. ‘I thought this person is always together with Mu Tingfeng. Why did Mu Tingfeng enter the elevator while he was outside?’

Meanwhile, she also felt anxious. Did he see how she had lost her composure just now? Did he suspect her?

Xia Zhetao was clearly thinking about something similar to Zhao Youxi. Once he finished speaking with those employees, he abruptly turned his head around to look at Zhao Youxi, and he was just in time to see Zhao Youxi’s panicked look. His eyes flashed a little.

After recovering from their initial shock, one of the rescuers swiftly picked up his walkie-talkie and shouted, “Emergency! Emergency! There’s one more person aside from the general manager in the elevator! One more person! The elevator is carrying two adults, and the cable might break even faster! We must speed up the rescue process! Get the other people in the department over to help, pronto! Over!”

When the employees who heard the ruckus came over to observe the situation and heard that person’s shouts, they were surprised.

In an instant, they descended into a commotion. In the end, even Zhao Shunrong and Duan Yarong were shocked.

When Duan Yarong heard that Zhao Youlin was trapped in the elevator and that she was in grave danger because it might fall at any moment, she nearly fainted on the spot.

Fortunately, Zhao Shunrong saw it and quickly supported her. Xiao Jingyao also hurried over when he heard the news, and he comforted her nonstop, telling her not to worry and that the rescuers had already rushed over, so Zhao Youlin was definitely going to be fine.

But after Duan Yarong wrapped the information in her head, she was inconsolable. The moment she regained a bit of her strength, she hurried to the rescue site.

The two people in the elevator had no way of knowing about the ruckus outside the elevator.

Mu Tingfeng hugged the person in his arms, and for the first time in his life, he did not know what to do. The feelings in his heart were really complicated.

On one hand, he hoped that the people downstairs would hurry up so that they could get out of this dangerous cage and escape to safety soon, but on the other hand, he hoped that those people would arrive later so that he could use the cover of darkness to have the person in his arms stay a little longer. After all, this chance did not come by often.

Zhao Youlin was tall, and she was considered really tall among girls, but when compared to Mu Tingfeng, she was still outmatched. When Mu Tingfeng hugged her, the breath she exhaled was basically brushing against Mu Tingfeng’s neck, causing him stiffen up even more. Even his ears were growing hotter.

After a long while, Mu Tingfeng was finally unable to hold back. He called out to her, “Zhao Youlin…”

Due to the suddenness, Zhao Youlin responded dumbly, “Huh?”

“I…”

But Mu Tingfeng could not finish speaking. They heard a loud clang, and the elevator tilted again. This time, it swayed even more intensely than before!
