Chapter 456 Elevator in danger
Qu Xiaoxiao noticed that the three people around her had different expressions. Fan Shengmei had a smile in her eyes, while Guan Juer and Qiu Yingying looked embarrassed, and the three of them were looking behind them at the same time.

Qu Xiaoxiao slowly turned her head and saw that the elevator door had opened. Andy and Lin Hao in the elevator were looking at them indifferently.

Andy, the protagonist of her topic, was looking at her expressionlessly in the elevator, while Lin Hao beside her had a half-smile on his face.

The embarrassment, the feeling of being caught gossiping behind others' backs, made Qu Xiaoxiao extremely embarrassed.

"Come in or not? If you don't want to come in, don't get in the way." Lin Hao glared at them unhappily.

Who is Qu Xiaoxiao? She compares herself to Hua Mulan and Wu Zetian. After losing to him for a while, she can't let that woman look down on her again.

"Come in, why not?" She walked in with her head held high.

It's true that enemies meet in a narrow road, two meet at a time, but she didn't back down. She walked into the elevator confidently, adhering to the principle that as long as I'm not embarrassed, others will be embarrassed.

Qu Xiaoxiao looked at Guan Juer and Qiu Yingying who were standing next to her. The two of them looked at this and that, with expressions as if they couldn't eat enough melons.

Seeing this, Guan Juer and Qiu Yingying behind them subconsciously walked into the elevator, and they smiled at Lin Hao.

"Sister Fan, what are you doing? Come in quickly!" Guan Juer shouted when she saw Fan Shengmei still standing outside the elevator door.

Guan Juer doesn’t know what happened to Fan Shengmei?
Could it be! Thinking of the look in Fan Shengmei's eyes when she looked at Lin Hao in the morning, could it be that something was going on between them?

"Oh, that's enough!" Fan Shengmei walked into the elevator with a cold face.

Her thoughts are similar to Qu Xiaoxiao's. She would rather lose the battle than the fight. If she retreats just because of him, how can she maintain her goddess image?
But every time I think about Qu Xiaoxiao looking for Lin Hao last night, I feel unhappy.

Everyone entered the elevator, and the elevator door slowly closed and began to move upwards.

The atmosphere in the car was very strange at this time.

"Stop pretending. You heard what I said about you just now, right?" Qu Xiaoxiao said sarcastically.

As for Lin Hao behind her, she didn't have any thoughts about him now, mainly because she really couldn't afford to offend him. She just went to his house and apologized for three hours yesterday. Now her legs still felt a little weak when she thought about it!

Andy was too lazy to pay attention to Qu Xiaoxiao's self-talk. Seeing that Andy ignored her, Qu Xiaoxiao became even more excited:
"You are quite confident, aren't you?"

The other three women didn't say anything, and Lin Hao didn't say anything either. They just waited quietly and prepared to watch the show!

Then Qu Xiaoxiao said in a sarcastic tone:
"What a pity! There is no such thing as an impenetrable wall. Do you think that if someone hides you here, no one will know your true identity?"

Seeing that Andy still ignored her, Qu Xiaoxiao prepared to reveal some cruel information:
"You know Tan Zongming, right? Don't say you don't know him. The 911 you drive is under his name!"

"Do you know Old Tan?" Andy reacted when he heard Qu Xiaoxiao mention Tan Zongming. He thought he was Tan Zongming's business partner or something!

Feeling that Andy was just a mistress, she was a little unscrupulous, so Qu Xiaoxiao said ambiguously:

"What do you think? I, Qu Xiaoxiao, hate mistresses the most in my life. I thought some people dared not take responsibility for what they did, and were afraid to admit it!"

"Bang!" A strange noise was heard, followed by the elevator shaking and the lights flickering.

Then the elevator control system issued a beeping alarm. The people in the elevator came to their senses and looked at the LCD panel. The elevator stopped on the 16th floor and did not move.

"What's going on?" Qu Xiaoxiao's mind buzzed and she no longer cared about what Andy and Lin Hao said. She turned around and asked the three people in Room 2202.

Everyone immediately prepared to call for help and the police, but at that time the elevator was between the 15th and 16th floors, and the mobile phone signal was blocked by the thick walls, so there was no signal.

Just when everyone was at a loss, Lin Hao walked over, pressed the call button to contact the property management, and explained the situation here.

After the property management found the elevator fault, they immediately sent people to repair and rescue.

At this time, Lin Hao continued to say to the property:

"By the way, leave one person in the monitoring room. Don't leave all of you. If there is any situation, we can communicate in time!"

At this time, Xiao Wang from the property management realized that everyone seemed to be rushing to Building 19, so he immediately said:
"Okay, Mr. Lin, we have left someone to keep in touch with you!"

After Lin Hao communicated with the property management, he pressed all the buttons on all the floors.

Seeing the puzzled looks of several people, Lin Hao explained:
"We are now on the 16th floor. We must hold down each floor below. This way, even if the elevator suddenly drops, it may stop at any time due to the restoration of forced braking. In other words, we still have chances to be rescued."

"Don't get excited now, calm down and listen to me carefully. The oxygen flow in the closed elevator car is limited. Don't talk anymore, lean against the wall and relax!"

Qiu Yingying swallowed nervously and asked:
"Brother Lin, if the elevator goes down, won't we have a better chance of survival?"

Seeing Qiu Yingying looking nervous, Lin Hao couldn't help but joked:
"No, the body will be more complete!"

"Oh my god, I don't want to die!" Qiu Yingying started crying again.

Seeing this, Lin Hao said, "Okay, I'm just teasing you guys. Calm down, stop talking, and wait for rescue quietly!"

Then there was silence in the elevator. At this time, Qu Xiaoxiao glanced at Andy and said sarcastically:
"It's really unlucky to meet certain people~!"

Andy was claustrophobic and could only lean against the wall of the elevator to relax. He had no time to pay attention to her.

"Haha, it's really unlucky!" Lin Hao sneered and said:
"Qu Xiaoxiao, are you stupid? You and your daughter will fall into that trap sooner or later!"

"You just mentioned Tan Zongming, and you know what kind of strength he has. Let's not talk about whether she is a mistress or not. According to your idea, she is Tan Zongming's mistress. So what do you think will happen if she whispers something in his ear?"

"With the little stuff you have at home, can you withstand the torment? Don't you even use your brain?"

"If not, then just because she was able to lend her a car worth several million, she must be someone who has a close relationship with Tan Zongming or can have an equal conversation with him. If she wants to clean up your family, it's just a matter of talking!"

Lin Hao's words were like a basin of ice water poured over Qu Xiaoxiao's head, instantly calming her down and making her suddenly alert.

No matter how stupid Qu Xiaoxiao was, she could tell that Lin Hao was calling her stupid, but she didn't dare to refute.

When they thought about how they had angered Lin Hao yesterday, and how Lin Hao's words almost bankrupted their family, they had to apologize for three hours last night to finally settle the matter!
But Qu Xiaoxiao is also a flexible person. In front of everyone's incredulous eyes, she said to Andy who was leaning against the wall:
"I'm sorry, I was just talking nonsense, please don't mind it, please forgive me~!

Andy was feeling uncomfortable, so he waved his hand and said calmly:

"fine."

How could Qu Xiaoxiao believe such an answer? She quickly continued to pester him, with tears in her eyes to show her regret.

Andy couldn't stand it, frowning and saying, "It's really okay! Don't move, or I'll be really angry!"

Qu Xiaoxiao stopped when she saw that things were going well, and said with a fake smile:
"Thank you so much, love you~!"

The elevator fell into silence again, and Qiu Yingying suddenly said nervously:
"Did you know? Among the types of death with the highest mortality rates, there is death in elevators!"

"Some time ago, there was such an incident on Weibo. A girl was only busy playing with her phone and didn't look at the elevator. The elevator door opened, but the elevator didn't arrive. The girl stepped on empty space and fell down!"

"Guess what, he died. He fell to his death. It's so tragic. It hurts just thinking about it!" At this point, Qiu Yingying continued to relieve her tension:
"Some time ago, in the neighborhood next to ours, a group of people got into an elevator, and then with a loud bang, the elevator fell down!"

"Guess what will happen when the elevator opens~!"

Seeing this, Lin Hao said, "Yingying, I know you want to ease the tense atmosphere, but this joke is obviously inappropriate. What do you think?"

Qiu Yingying said, "Brother Lin, it's okay. I've thought about it. If the elevator falls, we can jump together when it's almost at the bottom. It's impossible for us to fall to death!"

"Boom!" As Qiu Yingying jumped, the elevator actually fell down rapidly.

"Ah~~~!" The five girls were instantly frightened and screamed in fear, and the loudest screams came from Qiu Yingying and Qu Xiaoxiao.

Fortunately, the elevator just shook a little and did not really fall down. The five people were still in shock and subconsciously hugged the only male.

Although the feeling of being filled with warmth and fragrance was very pleasant, Lin Hao still tried to comfort the five women:

"Okay, everyone, be gentle, spread out and stand against the wall, try to keep the weight of the elevator balanced, and don't let it slide down a second time!"

Seeing this, Lin Hao said, "Xiao Qiu, you told a good story. Don't tell it again next time!"

"I won't say it again. I really have a bad mouth." Qiu Yingying was so scared that she was about to cry:
I am just nervous. If I don't speak, I will be nervous! Qiu Yingying was a little incoherent at this time.

Lin Hao hugged Qiu Yingying and patted her shoulders gently. Qiu Yingying felt that she had found support and finally calmed down.

Time passed by minute by minute. I don't know how long it had been. Seeing that no one from the property management had come, Guan Juer couldn't help but ask:
"Brother Lin, has the property management forgotten about us?"

Lin Hao looked at the time and saw that less than five minutes had passed, so he said:
"Don't worry, it's only been five minutes, the property management hasn't arrived at the building yet!"

At this moment, the lights in the elevator hall suddenly became flickering, as if there was a malfunction. Fortunately, the lighting system was restored quickly.

At this time, Guan Juer said quickly:

"I just bought some food, why don't we eat something?"

Seeing that the atmosphere had eased, Qiu Yingying also recovered and said:

"I think so. I'm starving!"

"Brother Lin, this is for you!" Guan Juer handed over a box of yogurt and a bag of snacks.

Seeing Lin Hao took it without hesitation, he smiled at her and said:
"Guan Guan, don't be afraid, the property management will be here soon!"

"Hmm~!" Guan Juer felt that her tense mood seemed to ease a lot after hearing Lin Hao's comfort.

Then Lin Hao looked at Andy and asked, "How are you?"

"Hmm? Not bad, thank you!" Andy, who had been observing Lin Hao, didn't expect Lin Hao to suddenly ask her.

Guan Juer took out a box of yogurt and handed it to her. Andy waved his hand:

"Thank you, I only drink water."

Fan Shengmei didn't say a word from beginning to end, just watched silently. Although Lin Hao didn't show it, she could feel that Lin Hao didn't care about her very much!
Thinking that she had just gotten out of his bed last night and was with Qu Xiaoxiao again in the middle of the night, even so, Fan Shengmei didn't want to give up!

After hearing what Andy said, Lin Hao took out a bottle of Evian that he had prepared long ago and handed it over:

“I just bought it and haven’t drunk it yet!”

Andy didn't want it at first, but when facing Lin Hao, he didn't seem to mind, so he reached out and took the mineral water.

At this moment, the property management finally shouted from outside:

"Boss Lin, Boss Lin, are you there? Can you hear us?"

Lin Hao immediately shouted: "We are here!"

At this time, Fan Shengmei and Qu Xiaoxiao heard someone coming and were obviously a little out of control. They shouted and jumped and banged on the elevator door frantically:
“Is there anyone? Please come and save us, we are trapped in the elevator.”

"Help! Open the elevator door!"

The two of them shouted and banged on the elevator door, causing the elevator to shake.

Seeing this, Lin Hao hurriedly stopped the two and shouted loudly:

"Calm down, both of you, and stop banging on the elevator door. Banging on the elevator door so violently may cause a second descent!"

At this time, the property management obviously discovered the problem, so they quickly said:
"Don't be nervous, the workers have already taken the equipment to the top floor. We will use the manual winch, so don't worry about falling!"

"Once we adjust the elevator car to a position parallel to the floor, we can open the elevator and rescue you!"

Lin Hao said: "Okay, tell the workers to be careful!"

"Don't worry, Mr. Lin, you will be able to come out soon!"

Soon, the property staff shouted:

"Boss Lin, all of you stay close to the elevator wall and don't move. The workers are about to start working!"

As the maintenance team began to manually turn the crank, the elevator began to shake, and the mood of the five women in the elevator, which had just calmed down a little, was instantly disturbed again.

Qiu Yingying said with horror:

"Is that manual crank that the property management just mentioned reliable? If it fails to hold the car, will it just make a sound~!"

"Shut up!" the other four women in the elevator shouted.

Seeing this, Lin Hao said, "Okay, calm down, the elevator seems to be rising. Can you feel it?"

"Yes, I also feel that it has increased a little!" Guan Juer said affirmatively.

At this time, Andy felt the elevator rising, did a simple mental calculation and said:

"We have already risen four times, about 20 centimeters each time. Now we are almost between the 16th and 17th floors. This building is 2.8 meters high. We need to rise another 140 centimeters, which will take about seven times. So, we should be able to get out in about three minutes!"

"How did you calculate that? My mind is completely blank!" said Qiu Yingying.

"Come on, looking at you like this, it seems like your brain isn't very useful at ordinary times!" Qu Xiaoxiao said sarcastically.
