Chapter 1586: Danger Zone (3)
Dongfang Liuyun knew what she was doing, especially since the market had been very compet.i.tive over the past few years. As a long-established family, the Dongfang family had made countless enemies, especially in their recent business in Myanmar…
“A few days ago, my father had an incident in Myanmar, so he rushed back to the country. He was worried that there would be sudden changes within the Dongfang Group,” Dongfang Liuyun explained simply.
Qi Lei listened and paused. Just as he was about to say something, he vaguely heard a sound from outside. It sounded like Yang Sheng and the others. He was about to get up to answer, when—
‘Bang bang!’
‘Boom’
The elevator stopped for a moment and began to shake violently. Dongfang Liuyun did not have time to stabilize herself before she fell forward.
“Liuyun!”
Qi Lei was shocked as well. He quickly reached out to grab her and quickly pulled her into his arms again. The familiar and warm embrace came again, and Dongfang Liuyun subconsciously hugged him tightly.
“Don’t be afraid. Hold onto the handrail, Quick! ”
Qi Lei pushed her to the side of the handrail and protected her inside.
“It’s okay!” Dongfang Liuyun responded, but both of their palms were wet from shock. Although Dongfang Liuyun did not look too frightened, a thin layer of sweat could be seen on her smooth forehead.
‘Ka——’
A piercing sound was heard. The elevator slowed down as if it was stuck at another point.
The couple took a deep breath. Dongfang Liuyun said in a hoa.r.s.e voice, “What if we die here today?”
Qi Lei listened and tightened his grip around her waist. “I don’t believe that we’d be so unlucky. Don’t worry. We’ll be safe.”
Qi Lei’s heart was very calm. He did not know why, but at that moment, he felt a little more at ease. He was not afraid. Perhaps he had long seen through life and death.
Dongfang Liuyun smiled, raised her eyebrows and looked at him. He did not say anything after that.
Soon, they heard the anxious cries of Yang Sheng and the others coming from outside…
Yang Sheng was so worried that he was sweating all over. Especially that fall just now, he was so scared that he almost had a heart attack!
He immediately rushed over with the staff.
“Master Qi! Master Qi! Are you okay?” Yang Sheng leaned against the elevator door and asked nervously.
“For now, I’m fine. Hurry up and open the elevator door and save us!”
Qi Lei’s voice could be heard from inside.
“That’s good! That’s good. Master Qi, don’t worry. The elevator’s electrical switch has been switched off. It won’t fall anymore. We’ll get the staff to open the door immediately. Calm down, lean against the wall and hold on to the handrail. You are now stuck between the 12th and 13th floor. The staff will open the door from the 13th floor later, and you can both come up with the rope!”
Yang Sheng broke out in a cold sweat. When he heard Qi Lei say that he was fine, he was relieved. He quickly urged the people next to him to do something.
“You must be careful. If anything goes wrong, you can’t afford it! You have to give us an explanation for this incident! How could this happen!”
“Yes, yes, yes, this is our fault. Now, let’s get them out as soon as possible first.”
The hotel manager was sweating profusely as he urged the maintenance staff to hurry.
About 10 minutes later, a bright light suddenly came through. Qi Lei and Dongfang Liuyun stood up slightly.
“Master Qi, we’ll put down the rope, grab it quick! We’ll pull you up!”
As he said this, he quickly put down the rope.
“Hurry!”
Qi Lei quickly pulled down the rope and quickly tied a knot around Dongfang Liuyun’s waist. However, Dongfang Liuyun lengthened the rope out methodically, with one end tied around Qi Lei’s waist—
“Just in case, this is general knowledge!”
As she said that, Qi Lei looked at her intently, and his dark eyes showed a rare tenderness. He nodded happily and hugged her, gesturing for her to climb up as he said, “Hurry up, I don’t want to be trapped in this d.a.m.ned place.”
Dongfang Liuyun quickly grabbed the rope and went up. When they reached the staircase, Yang Sheng and the others quickly rushed over—
“Missus? Are you okay?” Yang Sheng asked worriedly.
Dongfang Liuyun did not have time to answer him. She turned around and extended her hand to Qi Lei. Only then did Qi Lei grab her hand and quickly followed.
“Master Qi! Are You Okay? ”
“President Qi!”
The moment Qi Lei stepped out of the elevator, a group of people came up to greet him.
Qi Lei fixed his clothes as he turned to look at Dongfang Liuyun beside him. He looked her up and down and only heaved a sigh of relief when he saw that she was alright. However, looking at her slightly pale face, he took off his coat and draped it over her shoulders—
“Are you okay?”
His concerned voice was very deep.
“I’m fine. Look for my father. Hurry!”
As she said this, Dongfang Liuyun said nothing else before giving him a look, reaching out to pull his coat over her shoulders, and then she walked towards the stairs.
Qi Lei frowned and turned to look at Yang Sheng.
“Our people are already searching. If there’s any news, we’ll definitely inform you immediately. Don’t worry, Master Qi. The surveillance room is already investigating,” Yang Sheng replied.
“We have to be quick!” Qi Lei said and followed in Dongfang Liuyun’s direction…
Dongfang Liuyun headed straight for the 19th floor. She did not care about anything else. She walked through the long corridor. Her sonorous and hurried footsteps echoed in the corridor. However, just as she was about to rush towards the blind spot on the rooftop, the door of a suite at the corner of the rooftop opened and a familiar figure suddenly appeared in front of her eyes!
That figure, who else could it be but Dongfang Gan? She could only see him bent over slightly and he did not look too good…
“Father! ”
Dongfang Liuyun hurriedly went up to him.
At this moment, Dongfang Gan, who was already in a daze, heard his daughter’s voice from behind him. He heaved a sigh of relief and quickly turned around to look at Dongfang Liuyun. He wanted to say something, but his entire body suddenly lost its strength, his entire body went limp and he fell forward!
“Father!”
Dongfang Liuyun turned pale with fright and quickly went forward to hold Dongfang Gan. At that moment, Dongfang Gan had already lost consciousness.
“Liuyun! ”
Qi Lei quickly caught up and helped Dongfang Liuyun hold Dongfang Gan.
Dongfang Liuyun frowned and quickly checked on Dongfang Gan’s condition. She quickly came to a conclusion—
“He must have been drugged. Take him to the hospital for a check-up. Immediately arrange for someone to search the room to see what happened. Act quickly. Don’t let others get there first!” Dongfang Liuyun said cautiously.
