I rejected your confession, but you took my best friend home?

Chapter 322 We must ensure the safety of everyone inside. I'm going to find the principal!

Around eight o'clock in the evening, Jing Yu left the dormitory, intending to go to Junheng Building to find Zhou Heng and Yin Mengran.

She dressed herself up carefully; as a model, she could look beautiful even in winter.

This shows that she attaches great importance to this dinner party; she has treated it as an important business dinner rather than a simple classmate meal.

She had to find a way to get her plans moving forward so she could give the company an explanation.

Right now, she can't do whatever she wants; she can only obediently follow the company's orders.

When she's strong enough, she can live according to her own wishes, whether it's attending school peacefully or making all sorts of friends...

Jing Yu arrived at Junheng Building. The security guards already recognized her and let her through as soon as they saw her.

There were hardly any people left in the building at this time; most students had gone back to rest, and some of the lights were off, making it rather dim.

Jing Yu took the elevator and pressed the button for the top floor.

As the elevator doors closed, the elevator did not immediately ascend...

"Eh?"

Jing Yu was somewhat surprised and pressed the button again. After a while, the elevator slowly ascended, but it was accompanied by occasional clanging sounds.

Jing Yu frowned slightly, but didn't seem to care too much. The elevator quickly reached the top floor, and the doors slowly opened...

As she stepped out of the elevator, she saw Zhou Heng and Yin Mengran walking out of the classroom, looking exhausted, and stretching...

"Ah... Hi, you two."

Seeing this, Jingyu felt a little embarrassed to invite them to dinner. They looked so tired, sitting there studying all day long...

Zhou Heng and Yin Mengran heard Jing Yu's voice, looked up at her, smiled, and greeted her.

"Hi, you're here! Can you wait a moment? You look so beautiful, we'd like to get ourselves all dressed up too."

Yin Mengran looked Jing Yu up and down, then secretly nudged Zhou Heng with her elbow.

Zhou Heng immediately understood; they both realized this wasn't just a simple meal, she seemed to want to tell them something...

"Of course! Of course, no problem, no rush."

Jingyu certainly didn't mind the two of them tidying up. After all, she had already waited this long, so waiting a little longer was worth it.

Zhou Heng and Yin Mengran were indeed not in good condition and needed to go back and tidy up before leaving the house.

Sitting there studying all day is incredibly taxing on your brain, especially for Zhou Heng. He felt his eyes were bloodshot and his hair was greasy...

The two went back to their room, intending to tidy up quickly; they couldn't keep the other person waiting too long.

It took them about twenty minutes to finish cleaning up; it was already 8:30.

The two of them went outside and saw Jingyu still waiting for them obediently, without a trace of impatience on her face...

"Sorry to keep you waiting."

Yin Mengran walked over, smiled slightly, and said to her.

"No, no, it's okay."

Jing Yu waved her hand, completely unconcerned. As long as the two of them accepted the invitation, she didn't care how long she had to wait.

"Let's go, where are we going?"

"Yes, I've made reservations. I didn't book a very high-end place, just in case you don't like it, is that alright?"

"Of course, we don't like those kinds of places; ordinary places are fine."

The three of them stepped into the elevator together, preparing to take it down...

As the elevator doors slowly closed, Zhou Heng pressed the button for the first floor...

"Ok?"

After a few seconds, the elevator still didn't move, which puzzled Zhou Heng, so he pressed the button a few more times...

"Kaka!"

Suddenly, a series of noises came from the elevator!

"Ah! What's wrong?"

Jing Yu and Yin Mengran were startled. Yin Mengran immediately grabbed Zhou Heng's arm and exclaimed...

Zhou Heng frowned, a bad feeling creeping over him, and quickly pressed the elevator door open button...

"Boom!"

With a louder sound, the elevator suddenly began to descend rapidly!

"what!"

Yin Mengran and Jing Yu were startled and started screaming.

Zhou Heng reacted quickly, gritting his teeth, supporting Yin Mengran with one hand while rapidly pressing the alarm button with the other.

Next, press each floor button one by one, lighting up each floor's button...

Seeing that it was no use and the elevator was still rapidly descending, Zhou Heng quickly crouched down, pressing himself against the elevator.

He then hugged Yin Mengran and made her sit on his lap!

That way, if the elevator falls, Yin Mengran won't be hurt; she'll be there to cushion the fall...

"Wife!"

Zhou Heng called out, then pointed to Jing Yu opposite him.

She had already settled Yin Mengran in, but she couldn't just abandon Jing Yu.

Yin Mengran also reacted, pulling Jing Yu to her side and pressing her body down to cushion the fall...

As the elevator descended from the top floor to the middle, it suddenly slowed down!

Finally, between the third and fourth floors, with a loud "bang!", the elevator got stuck!

"Zi-"

The elevator lights went out, plunging the elevator into complete darkness. The elevator was also tilted, seemingly stuck in the elevator shaft...

"Whoops..."

The sudden stop caused Jingyu to fall flat on her backside, gasping in pain.

Yin Mengran, on the other hand, was completely unharmed, sitting comfortably in Zhou Heng's lap...

"Are you alright, honey...?"

Even so, Zhou Heng was still concerned about Yin Mengran's situation...

After confirming that Yin Mengran was alright, Zhou Heng stood up and began to investigate the situation with the elevator...

Why did it suddenly malfunction and then plummet so rapidly... and of all times, they were caught in the crossfire, what bad luck...

It's very dangerous to be stuck here and fall at any moment. I've already pressed the alarm button; someone should be here soon.

Their cell phones had little signal in the elevator, so they couldn't call for help...

When Han Wenchi returned from outside, he saw a large crowd gathered at the elevator entrance, with security guards also there to join the commotion.

He frowned, walked over, and asked:

"what happened?"

One of them turned around and saw Han Wenchi, then answered:

"Ah... Professor Han, it seems there's been an accident with the elevator. It looks like it fell from the top floor and is now stuck in the elevator shaft. There seem to be several people trapped inside..."

"An accident... How could this happen? Wait! What did you say? It came down from the top floor? There's someone in the elevator right now?!"

Han Wenchi suddenly realized something, grabbed the man's collar with both hands, and shouted excitedly.

"Ah...yes...yes..."

"Tsk!"

Han Wenchi clicked his tongue, his face contorted in a bitter expression, and pointed at the elevator, shouting:

"Get someone to fix it immediately. Make sure everyone inside is safe. I'm going to find the principal!"
