Qin Hai frowned. This feeling was really too strange. A few days ago, he appeared at night, but now he appeared even during the day. Furthermore, the a.s.sembler upstairs was going crazy. Was this just a coincidence?
Qin Hai moved closer to take a look. There was an air-conditioned s.p.a.ce about a meter away from the window where the repairmen were. Under normal circ.u.mstances, it would not be easy to get there, let alone forcefully rescue them. The moment he alerted the a.s.sembler, that fellow would immediately jump down the stairs, and he would be done for.
Qin Hai looked at the terrain through the window before picking up a piece of rope from the ground and rus.h.i.+ng up to the 20th floor. All the rooms on the 20th floor were locked, but that was no problem for Qin Hai. He found the room directly above the accident room, placed his palm against the door, and with the true essence coming out of his mouth, broke the lock on the security door.
Quietly, he came to the window and peeked his head out. The repairman was still sitting in the air-conditioned s.p.a.ce, shaking his head. He was mumbling something, but no one knew what he was talking about.
Qin Hai quietly pushed open the door, tied one end of the rope to his waist, the other end to the window, and crept out.
The firefighters and policemen on the 19th floor also noticed Qin Hai. They hurriedly gestured at him to return.
Qin Hai shook his head and pointed at the a.s.sembler, motioning for them to continue shouting at the a.s.sembler to get his attention. He moved closer and closer to the wall until he reached the a.s.sembler's head.
But at this moment, an accident still happened. Qin Hai's foot accidentally kicked a small stone on the ground while it was moving horizontally. The small stone rolled out of the way and landed right on the head of the a.s.sembler below.
The moment he saw Qin Hai, the a.s.sembler's expression changed. He pointed at Qin Hai and shouted out repeatedly while his body began to twist. In less than two seconds, the a.s.sembler suddenly moved out of the air conditioning and fell down the building.
"AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!"
The nearby residents and a.s.semblers who were watching from below screamed out loud in fright. Many women even covered their eyes with their hands, unable to bear to watch the miserable scene that was about to unfold.
Under the astonished gazes of many people, Qin Hai jumped down from the 20th floor and rushed toward the a.s.sembler without a care for his own safety. And just as the a.s.sembler was about to fall, he actually grabbed that person's arm.
Bang!
The rope around Qin Hai's waist was only about seven to eight meters long, so when he grabbed hold of the a.s.sembler's arm, the rope tightened and pulled the two of them against the wall.
In a short time, he had already hit the wall twice, and was swinging back and forth between the eighteenth and nineteenth floors. Every time he shook his body, screams of terror would come from downstairs. At this time, everyone was sweating for Qin Hai.
After cras.h.i.+ng a few times, the shaking gradually changed. Qin Hai seized the opportunity to pull the a.s.sembler up a little bit. Then, he tightened his grip on that guy's waist and shouted towards upstairs, "Throw the rope down!"
The firefighters and policemen who had been watching the scene foolishly woke up from their stupor and quickly threw down a rope. Qin Hai tied the rope around the repairman's waist and tied it into a tight knot. Then he motioned to the firemen to pull the guy up.
With the efforts of the firemen, the a.s.semblers were soon dragged into the 19th floor of the room. Cheers immediately came from downstairs.
After wiping off the sweat on his forehead, Qin Hai easily entered the 19th floor's room through the rope tied around his waist. Before he could untie the rope around his waist, a few firemen surrounded him and gave him a big thumbs-up.
"No, I'm definitely not as good as you!" Qin Hai smiled and said a few modest words. Only then did he realize that the repairman was still struggling after being rescued. This guy worked very hard and had quite a bit of brute force. The fireman had to temporarily tie his hands and feet together with hemp rope, so the guy had to lie on the ground, struggling and screaming.
Soon after, a group of firemen and policemen escorted the a.s.sembler to the first floor, and Qin Hai followed them out of the building. However, just as his front feet came out, a gust of fragrant wind a.s.saulted his face, and a soft body slammed into his chest, hugging him tightly.
"You scared me to death just now. You better not do this again in the future. What if you fall down when you're so tall?"
However, when Qin Hai pushed Zeng Rou away, he found that both of her eyes were red and swollen, and her face was covered in tears. She was already crying.
"What happened, why are you crying?" Qin Hai smiled as he wiped away the tears for Zeng Rou. However, Zeng Rou's tears kept on increasing, as if she couldn't finish them no matter how hard she tried.
"Even if the company goes bankrupt and everything is gone, you can't get into trouble, did you hear me?!" Crying, Zeng Rou said while choking back her sobs. Both of her hands tightly gripped onto Qin Hai's clothes.
She didn't know when she started crying, but when she saw Qin Hai coming out, her tears started pouring out like a flood. She couldn't stop it no matter what.
