Chapter 817: 817

The elevator doors opened, and Gu Xingze stepped inside .

After replying to the message, Yun Shishi followed him into the elevator .

However, as soon as one of her feet stepped inside, she felt a sudden turbulence under her . The lights inside flickered a few times, and then the lift actually uncontrollably lurched downward!

At this point, she was halfway into the elevator . Seeing the elevator lurch down uncontrollably and her about to get caught he hurriedly grabbed her arm and jerked her inside .

Losing her center of gravity, she fell into his arms .

The phone dropped to the ground with asmack!

Because of the elevator's intermittent shaking, both fell to the ground together .

Immediately afterward, they felt a strange centrifugal force . The elevator, which was still falling, seemed to crash to the ground with abang!

He subconsciously covered her in his embrace . The moment his spine collided with the stiff floor, he had the illusion that his bones had shattered from the impact .

The lift rocked for a bit thereafter, and the lights overhead flickered; everything returned to serenity .

Only then did the elevator slowly close .

Yun Shishi could not react . She was even unaware of what exactly had happened . Once it turned quiet, she scanned her surroundings and saw the elevator's floor panel was black .

From the elevator, she could hear the rope saws swaying, and in this quiet and narrow space, these noises only gave way for uneasiness and anxiety .

Elevator malfunction?!

This was her first reaction .

Turning to look at the man, she saw his pale face . It was as if he had lingering fear . Clearly, he was still a little shocked by the earlier accident .

Imagine; were it not for his fast actions, he probably could only watch her get caught in the opening .

He did not dare think of the consequences .

She, too, carefully recollected that, just as she stepped into the lift, she felt it abruptly lurch downward .

Gu Xingze had tugged her into the elevator . Thinking about it carefully now, she felt a chill spread from her feet all the way to her spine .

If he had not reacted fast enough, or if he had chosen to push her out, instead, she would have been fraught with grim possibilities .

That was because, in that situation, it would be too late to push her out, too .

She was nearly caught by the elevator opening .

The fear in her heart seemed to devour her from within .

She actually had a brush with death earlier .

Xingze

Her heart raced and her palms turned clammy, yet she calmed herself at once and expressed her gratitude . Thank you .

He closed his eyes and quickly quelled his fears . Slowly, he stood up and pressed the floor button .

The floor indicator was no longer glowing .

The lights overhead flickered unstably, while the exhaust fan continued spinning .

He turned to look at her and his thin lips parted . Shishi, don't be afraid . I'm here with you .

Humming her assent, she felt an explicable calmness and lose her apprehension .

Gu Xingze speculated that the elevator had likely malfunctioned and fell . Fortunately, it only fell a short distance from the first floor to basement three . If it had been from a higher floor, the consequences were unthinkable .
