There was a soft click, and the floor closed up seamlessly.
It was as if nothing had happened.
In the quaint guest room, the curtains were lowered, and the palace lantern shone with apricot yellow light, shining on the head of the doll standing on the table in the middle of the room.
The doll's cherry lips seemed to be smiling, but also seemed to be crying.
…
Gu Nianzhi fell from the air with a bang and fell heavily to the ground.
After the floor was closed, the space below was so dark that she couldn't even see her fingers.
Her head hit the ground hard, and she was dizzy.
Fortunately, the space under the floor wasn't very large, so she didn't break her leg or bleed.
She had just raised her head when she felt a whistling sound coming from above, and she instinctively rolled to the side.
Boom!
Another heavy object fell not far in front of her.
Gu Nianzhi couldn't see what had fallen, but she soon heard the sound of shallow breathing.
She didn't even dare to breathe. She didn't know who fell, but she hugged her leg and curled up in the hard corner.
When Huo Shaoheng fell, he also held his breath, so he didn't know what was below.
When he fell to the ground, he immediately heard the sound of someone holding their breath not far away. Although it was very slow and light, he could still feel who it was.
Huo Shaoheng immediately turned to the direction of the breathing and whispered, "… Grace?"
Gu Nianzhi suddenly looked up, and in the darkness, she couldn't see anything. She looked in the direction of the voice.
It was actually Huo Shaoheng!
He jumped down too?!
Gu Nianzhi didn't hesitate to jump over and lay in Huo Shaoheng's arms.
Huo Shaoheng had just sat up when Gu Nianzhi pounced on him and pushed him to the ground …
The two of them crossed their legs, chest to chest, and hugged each other without moving for a moment.
Huo Shaoheng's entire body was on fire. The warm and fragrant girl in his arms was like a pool of spring water, but it couldn't extinguish the fire in his heart.
His arms suddenly hugged Gu Nianzhi tightly, and his lips accurately found her lips and pressed tightly against them.
"… Are you alright?" He whispered against her lips. His hot breath blew against her face, making her feel warm and fuzzy.
Gu Nianzhi shook her head, and the fear and panic from earlier were swept away.
As long as Huo Shaoheng was by her side, she dared to go anywhere. This hole was nothing!
Gu Nianzhi chuckled and kissed Huo Shaoheng on the lips. She whispered, "It's okay. Why did you come down? Now we're both trapped here … "
Huo Shaoheng held the back of her neck and used a little force to rub her forehead. His voice was low and magnetic. "… I didn't think too much. I'll be wherever you are."
Gu Nianzhi, "…"
The shallow warmth in his heart instantly turned into a torrent, flowing through his limbs and bones.
She leaned against Huo Shaoheng's forehead as tears silently flowed down her cheeks and dripped onto Huo Shaoheng's face.
Shocked, Huo Shaoheng sat up abruptly and said anxiously, "You're hurt?!"
He thought Gu Nianzhi was crying from the pain.
Gu Nianzhi buried her head in his chest and shook her head. "No, I'm fine. I'm just too happy … haven't you heard of tears of joy? "
"…"
He raised his hand for a long time before putting it down and patted Gu Nianzhi's back helplessly.
So she was acting coquettishly.
He hugged her and leaned against the basement wall, waiting quietly for a while.
It was still quiet above. No one was walking up there, and there were no other sounds around.
Huo Shaoheng waited for Gu Nianzhi to calm down before taking out his phone from his trouser pocket with one hand.
However, there was no signal.
The corners of Huo Shaoheng's mouth twitched. "There's actually an electromagnetic shield here …"
Gu Nianzhi poked her head out of his arms and whispered, "If they don't come to disturb us, I can stay here with you for the night."
Huo Shaoheng, "…"
He knocked Gu Nianzhi's forehead and whispered, "You're really good at finding joy in hardship. You treat this place like a vacation home?"
"Can't I?" Gu Nianzhi hugged his broad shoulders and leaned forward to kiss him again. She smiled and said, "The ancients always said that when we're free, they're allowed to conspire and scheme against us, but we're not allowed to play along and cheat on them?"
Huo Shaoheng didn't know whether to laugh or cry. He rubbed Gu Nianzhi's head. "What's going on in your little head? Aren't you afraid? We've fallen into someone else's trap. "
Gu Nianzhi cocked her head and smiled. "I'm afraid. Of course I'm afraid. I'm afraid I won't be able to go out. I'm afraid I won't be able to grow old with you."
Huo Shaoheng had always had a heart of stone, and he didn't even pretend to speak to Gu Nianzhi.
However, when he heard this, his cold and hard heart actually felt a rare twinge of bitterness.
"They won't. I just analyzed it. Although this is a basement, it won't be a particularly dangerous place because this is the city center of C City. The other party is a big business, so they won't do anything to us here. "
"… But they tricked us into coming here and locking us up. Are they trying to imprison us?" Gu Nianzhi used the darkness as cover to look around and flirt with Huo Shaoheng from time to time.
Huo Shaoheng couldn't take it anymore. He grabbed her hand and said in a low voice, "If you don't behave, I'll do it on the spot."
Gu Nianzhi giggled and kissed his chin. "Do you really dare? Don't think that just because it's dark here, others can't see it. There's another thing called infrared cameras. "
Huo Shaoheng shook his head. "When I turned on my phone just now, I already checked this place. There are no hidden cameras, let alone infrared cameras."
"… There aren't any …" Gu Nianzhi scoffed. "Looks like they're not that brave after all …"
As she spoke, she took out her phone and said proudly, "What's the big deal about electromagnetic shielding? My dad's unshielded phone! "
She swiped open her phone and activated the electromagnetic shielding anti-interference system. Sure enough, it didn't take long for her phone to have a signal.
Huo Shaoheng breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Alright, hurry up and call someone to save us."
Gu Nianzhi nodded and dialed Lu Jin's number first.
"Dad! Hurry up and get someone to save us! I'll send you the location! "
She first sent a text message and then asked for a video call.
The call quickly connected, but after hearing Gu Nianzhi's request, "Lu Jin" hesitated for a moment before saying, "… Have you guys had lunch?"
What f * cking lunch!
How many times had this been?!
Gu Nianzhi was furious. "Dad! Are you kidding me?! I'm locked up in the basement now! I'm locked up, do you know that?! "
The call was cut off with a slap.
Gu Nianzhi: "…"
She finally realized that something was wrong.
"… No, my dad would never do this to me," Gu Nianzhi muttered. Gu Nianzhi muttered, "If my dad saw me like this, he'd run over to save me himself!"
Huo Shaoheng also felt that something was wrong. He remembered what Lu Yuan had said to him before he left. His heart sank and he said, "Oh no, your dad might have left the capital a long time ago."
Gu Nianzhi also remembered what was wrong with Lu Jin before they left the capital and became anxious. "That's right! My dad must have left a long time ago. The person who's talking to me … the person who's talking to me … isn't a real person at all! "
Huo Shaoheng also nodded. "It should be a holographic image of him, just like … Gu Xiangwen over there in the submarine."
Gu Nianzhi was in tears. "Those are his last words! You can't use that analogy! "
She had been lazy and didn't want to go out immediately.
After investigating for so long, she had finally made a breakthrough. She didn't care even if she had been schemed against.
How could she catch a tiger cub without entering the tiger's den?
Coupled with the fact that Huo Shaoheng was by her side, she was even more lawless and daring.
But now that she realized that something might have happened to Lu Jin, or that he was going to cause trouble, she couldn't stay any longer.
Gu Nianzhi supported herself against the wall and stood up. She looked at the basement with the light from her phone screen.
The place wasn't big, only about four or five square meters. It was surrounded by gray cement walls and a layer of plastic flooring to keep out the moisture.
The top of his head wasn't high either, at most two meters.
Huo Shaoheng was 1.88 meters tall, and his head was about to touch the ceiling when he stood up a little.
No wonder they only felt a little pain when they fell, but they weren't really injured.
"What should we do? It seems like there's no way to get out other than the movable floor above our heads, "Gu Nianzhi said in confusion." What are they doing? Are they just going to leave us here and starve us to death? "
Huo Shaoheng didn't say anything. He stood up as well and reached above his head to reach the place where they had fallen. He pressed down inch by inch.
Gu Nianzhi mumbled and paced around, unable to calm down for a moment.
She wished she could grow wings and fly out!
Huo Shaoheng took out the tools commonly used by field personnel from his trouser pocket and began to drill holes in the floor above his head.
Gu Nianzhi looked up at him without any worry as she watched him work. She wished she could hang on to his strong arm.
Huo Shaoheng focused on drilling holes and suddenly felt his chest tighten.
He looked down at Gu Nianzhi and asked, "… Is there something wrong with your breathing?"
Gu Nianzhi took two deep breaths. "No? What's wrong? "
Huo Shaoheng felt that his chest tightness was getting worse.
He endured the discomfort and increased his strength as he drilled the hole.
Fortunately, the house was made of wood, and the floor above his head was also made of solid wood. Although it was very hard teak, it was not worth mentioning for the various small tools that field personnel carried with them.
It just took time because the floor was too thick.
Gu Nianzhi focused on watching Huo Shaoheng drill holes and held up her phone to illuminate for him.
Gradually, she noticed that Huo Shaoheng's face was getting paler and paler. Large beads of sweat appeared on his forehead, and his arms were trembling slightly as if he could not hold the tools in his hands.
However, he still stood there majestically like a mountain, shielding her from the wind and rain, shielding her from all possible dangers and obstacles.
Gu Nianzhi's pupils suddenly contracted. She grabbed Huo Shaoheng's arm and placed her hand on his pulse to roughly feel it.
Huo Shaoheng's pulse was beating very slowly, and even his heartbeat seemed to have slowed down.
By this time, Huo Shaoheng already knew what was going on here.
The space here was especially well sealed. The oxygen supply was insufficient, and there was a lack of oxygen.
The floor above his head had not been drilled through, and he was almost at his limit.
Gu Nianzhi suddenly grabbed Huo Shaoheng's arm. "Stop drilling!"
She growled and pulled him down. "What's wrong with you?"
Huo Shaoheng looked at her nervous little face and tried hard to say, "… It's nothing. It's just a little stuffy."
"Stuffy?" Gu Nianzhi frowned. "You don't think so?"
However, Huo Shaoheng's symptoms were symptoms of a lack of oxygen.
Gu Nianzhi understood that the space here was sealed, so they had stayed inside for a while and used up all the oxygen. Therefore, Huo Shaoheng's chest was stuffy and he could not breathe.
She did not have time to think about why she did not have this symptom. She pulled Huo Shaoheng away and said, "Let me do it!"
Just as she was about to make a move, footsteps finally came from above her head.
Someone was coming …
