Chapter 808: Problem

It was as clear as day that after the previous assassination attempt, Zhong Nuannuan knew that Chi Yang and Old Master Chi were within the enemy’s assassination scope. The reason why she let other people get into the elevator first was that she understood that once she stepped into the elevator, it would definitely break down.

She did not have any grudges with those ladies from wealthy families, so she let them go first.

Sure enough, the elevator stopped on the 27th floor.

Zhong Nuannuan and Selina positioned the old master in between them. The old master was someone who had been through hails of bullets. The old master did not even bat an eye even after the previous attempt on the one-on-one assassination. He continued to eat after the assassination attempt, which proved how calm he was.

Therefore, other than the other five women who screamed, the remaining six were relatively calm.

However, Yang Min suddenly lost control of her body. Her legs gave way and she collapsed to the ground.

“Auntie Yang.”

Zhong Nuannuan asked, “Are you alright?”

“I’m fine. My legs are just a little weak.”

Selina asked, “Auntie Yang, you don’t look too well. Are you ill?”

“It’s fine, it’s fine. I’m sorry you have to see me like this. I’m a little claustrophobic, and I’ve been sick for the past two days. It’s fine, don’t worry about me. We’ve already reached the 27th floor. As long as we can reach the 18th floor, we’ll be able to return to the ground using the emergency ladder. Furthermore, we’re already past the explosion zone on the 44th floor, so we’re out of danger. Nuannuan, find a way to open up the top of the elevator. We can go indoors through the elevator and head downstairs. My legs are weak, so I’ll have to trouble all of you for that.”

“Mmhmm.”

Zhong Nuannuan nodded, but Ling Pinyuan moved first.

“Let me do it.”

Ling Pinyuan walked to the center of the elevator and looked around. There was nothing around her to proc her up; she would not be able to reach the ceiling with her height alone.

Hence, she could only look at Zhong Nuannuan awkwardly and said, “How about I lift you up and you open up the ceiling panel?”

“Let me lift you,” said Selina.

“Okay.”

Ling Pinyuan did not bother acting pretentiously shy and answered straightforwardly.

When Ling Pinyuan saw Selina do a half-squat without saying anything else, she was confused.

A half-squat position like this seemed a little difficult to proc anyone up, was it not?

“Come on, step on it!” Selina exclaimed.

Ling Pinyuan was stunned for a moment before she nodded. “Okay.”

Then, with reinforced trust on Selina, Ling Pinyuan stepped on her bright red evening gown.

Yet, the moment she stepped on her leg, Ling Pinyuan realized how steady Selina was. Considering how tall and how heavy Ling Pinyuan was as she shifted all her weight onto Selina’s leg, Selina did not budge at all.

To serve as Ling Pinyuan’s stepping stool, Selina’s other slender, long leg was extended like a bow. The rest of the people in the elevator retreated toward the four walls.

On the opposite side were the two madams from Z District who were not good terms with each other. On the other side was Luo Mengying. Due to her weak legs, Yang Min sat at one of the corners of the elevator, looking pale and sick.

Probably due to shock and claustrophobia, her face was getting paler by the second. Even though she was sitting on the ground, she had to support her body with both hands. Even so, her body was shrinking lower and lower toward the floor of the elevator. The remaining three were concerned that she might collapse and land on their bodies, so they could only inch closer toward Zhong Nuannuan.

Zhong Nuannuan was afraid that her grandfather would be affected by these women who were squeezing over, so she shifted toward the area with the view.
