As soon as Ye Zi finished speaking, the elevator fell again. It was obvious that the speed this time was much faster than before. Ye Zi was so nervous that she grabbed Lin Yan's arm even more tightly.
Lin Yan just grabbed the railing and didn't make a sound because he knew that at this time, it was useless to shout.
Only by saving some energy could he stand firm after being rescued.
Squeak …
An ear-piercing sound accompanied Ye Zi's scream, enough to make one's scalp go numb. It could be said to be a devilish sound.
Lin Yan's finger pressed against Ye Zi's forehead and gave her a light knock. "It stopped."
Ye Zi looked up and glanced at Lin Yan, then looked at her arms. Her heart was still like fifteen buckets, afraid that the elevator would continue to fall.
"I don't want to die yet. I'm still young," Ye Zi muttered softly.
Lin Yan struggled to break free from Ye Zi's hands and walked to the elevator button. He said indifferently, "You won't die yet."
He pressed the elevator button for each floor, then turned to Ye Zi and said, "Take off your shoes and hold the railing."
Ye Zi looked at Lin Yan in confusion. She didn't know why he pressed the elevator button for each floor. "You did this …"
"The elevator is falling at a speed of three to five meters per second. Now that we are on the 13th floor, I pressed all the buttons downstairs once. In this way, we have 12 more chances of not being rescued." Lin Yan also took off his shoes and stood beside Ye Zi. He grabbed the railing with both hands, bent his legs slightly, and leaned his back against the wall.
I don't know what's going on?
Ye Zi felt that at this moment, with Lin Yan by her side, it didn't seem that scary.
This time, she didn't refute Lin Yan, but did as he said.
Sure enough, the elevator fell again. Lin Yan's method worked. When the elevator passed through each floor, there would be a phenomenon of a pause. When the elevator passed the sixth floor, it suddenly stopped.
Lin Yan had another chance to call for help through the emergency phone in the elevator.
"I am the owner of Xinglan Bay Apartments, Unit 3, 22nd floor. My neighbor and I are trapped in the elevator."
Fortunately, the neighborhood's property management was very efficient. In less than ten minutes, the elevator resumed braking again.
When Ye Zi walked out of the elevator, she felt as if she had been reborn. She didn't realize that she had been holding Lin Yan's hand. She only felt a sense of security and warmth. It seemed that when death came, as long as he was by her side, she wouldn't be afraid in the face of death.
"How long do you want to hold on?" Lin Yan's thin lips opened slightly, and said in a faint voice.
"What?" Ye Zi didn't understand and frowned slightly.
Lin Yan glanced at his hand and narrowed his eyes. Ye Zi followed Lin Yan's gaze and couldn't help but be shocked. She hurriedly shook off Lin Yan's hand. "Who, who, who wants to hold on to you?"
Her face turned red, and she wanted to find a hole to hide in. She bit her lower lip and quickly ran to the back stairs.
"Bang!"
The door to the back stairs slammed shut. Ye Zi leaned against the wall and panted heavily. What was wrong with her?
She slapped her cheeks hard to wake herself up.
What was this feeling?
Why was her heart beating so fast?
Ye Zi heard the sound of footsteps. She frowned slightly and looked in the direction of the footsteps.
Lin Yan pushed open the back staircase door and strode into the back staircase with a pair of straight and long legs. His posture was as straight as a pine tree, and he was taller than Ye Zi by a head. He cast a shadow over Ye Zi, enveloping her in it.
Ye Zi had just relaxed, but in an instant, she became nervous again. Her palms were drenched in sweat. She twisted her brows and took a step back. She pursed her lips and said in a trembling voice, "What, what else do you want?"
"The elevator can't be used now, so of course I want to go home." Lin Yan said indifferently.
Oh! So that's why.
While Ye Zi breathed a sigh of relief, she couldn't help but feel a little disappointed.
Lin Yan walked up the stairs without looking back. Ye Zi absent-mindedly followed behind him. Suddenly, Ye Zi thought of something and quickly took out Wu Xinyi's information from her backpack. She poked Lin Yan's waist with the folder.
Lin Yan stopped and turned to look at Ye Zi.
"Here," said Leaf. This is the information on Wu Xinyi that you wanted. "
Lin Yan took the information, nodded, and quickly walked up the stairs.
Ye Zi frowned and looked at Lin Yan's back. What was he trying to do? Why did he investigate Wu Xinyi's information? But after getting the information, why didn't he even look at it?
She blinked her long eyelashes and followed Lin Yan up the stairs. When they walked from the sixth floor to the 22nd floor, Ye Zi was exhausted, but Lin Yan didn't even take a breath as if nothing had happened.
Lin Yan took out the key, opened the door, and walked straight in.
Ye Zi glanced at Lin Yan's disappearing back and murmured softly, "You're really a jinx. Nothing good ever comes out of meeting you."
She narrowed her eyes and wanted to take out the key from her backpack. But after searching for a long time, she couldn't find her own key. She glanced sideways at Lin Yan's closed door and frowned. "It's all your fault that I lost my key. Jinx."
Ye Zi had no choice but to search for her key on every floor.
…
As Lin Yan took off his suit jacket, he took out his phone and dialed Qin Luo's number. After the busy tone, Qin Luo picked up Lin Yan's call.
"Young Master Lin, how come you have the time to think of me today?"
Lin Yan said, "Wu Xinyi isn't her."
Qin Luo asked, "Are you sure?"
Lin Yan said, "Of course. Why would she do that?"
"Young Master Lin, people change, okay? You haven't seen her for so many years. Who knows what she's become? Maybe … "
Before Qin Luo could finish, Lin Yan suddenly interrupted him and said in a low voice, "No matter how much she changes, she's still the little girl in my heart. She would never do something like that."
With that, Lin Yan hung up the phone and casually put Wu Xinyi's information into the shredder.
Ye Zi went all the way from the 22nd floor to the first floor, but she still couldn't find her key. She had probably used up more calories today than she did in a month.
She sat down on the stairs of the first floor powerlessly and thought about where she could have dropped her key.
The elevator!
Ye Zi suddenly raised her hand and slapped it hard on her forehead. When she was on the seventh floor, she had opened her backpack to collect rent from the landlady. Could she have dropped her key in the elevator at that time?
She hurriedly stood up and walked quickly to the elevator.
"Ding dong."
The elevator stopped in front of Ye Zi, but she didn't dare to enter. She took a look and realized that her key had really dropped in the elevator. She raised her leg and put it down again. What she had just experienced was still a lingering fear for Ye Zi.
"Do you want to come in or not?"
When the elevator door opened, Ye Zi was so focused on her key that she didn't realize that there was someone else in the elevator.
Hearing the voice, three black lines appeared on Ye Zi's face. She slowly raised her eyes and saw that Lin Yan's face did not have the slightest expression. His gaze was distant yet sharp as he looked at her.
Ye Zi looked at Lin Yan and then at her key. She saw Lin Yan bend over to pick up her key.
Lin Yan walked out of the elevator and waved the key in front of Ye Zi. "Is this yours?"
Ye Zi nodded.
Lin Yan curled his lips and stuffed her keys into his pocket.
"What are you doing?" Ye Zi asked with a frown.
The smile on Lin Yan's lips became wider. He narrowed his eyes and walked closer to Ye Zi. He slowly leaned over and placed his chiseled chin on Ye Zi's shoulder. His thin lips opened slightly and he whispered in Ye Zi's ear, "I heard everything you said about me just now."
After saying that, Lin Yan strode forward like a world-class male model on the runway in Paris and quickly disappeared in front of Ye Zi.
Damn! Ye Zi cursed in her heart.
What did this jerk mean?
Why did he take her key for no reason?
Ye Zi hurriedly chased after him and spread her arms to block Lin Yan's path. "Return it to me!"
"Come and snatch it yourself if you can." Lin Yan sneered.
Hey! This jinx must be making fun of her!
Ye Zi's face was gloomy as if it was shrouded in a thick layer of dark clouds. She looked extremely cute when she was angry, like a fair and chubby little bun. Without saying anything, she quickly walked forward and reached for Lin Yan's pocket.
Lin Yan didn't dodge and let Ye Zi's little hand rummage through his pocket.
From afar, the two of them looked very intimate. It was a little like a couple putting on a show.
This scene fell into the eyes of Qin Yuran, who was walking over not far away. She subconsciously clenched her fists and her long nails dug deep into her palms. She had been secretly in love with Lin Yan for so many years and had been his special assistant for nearly seven years. Not to mention having close contact with Lin Yan, even when speaking to Lin Yan, there was an unapproachable expression on his face.
But …
At this moment, Lin Yan actually had a faint smile on his face. This was a smile that Qin Yuran had never seen on Lin Yan's face.
Lin Yan … liked her?!
Qin Yuran frowned deeply and gritted her teeth. She really wanted to see the smile on Lin Yan's face. Even if it was just once, she would be overjoyed, but it had never happened before.
She took a deep breath and walked over to Lin Yan in her high heels. "President Lin."
