Having seen pigs eaten in three bites, they were witnessing for the first time someone tearing open a door with their bare hands, and were naturally shocked.
"Is this Mr. Li's hand?"
"It looks like it." Manager Fang took a deep breath and quickly said to Water Daddy, "They've come in and gone out. We should leave quickly. Otherwise, we might be misunderstood."
"Right, right, we need to leave quickly. I never expected Mr. Li's hands to be so strong. It seems we need to find a better method next time." Water Daddy turned and left immediately.
Manager Fang's expression changed, "Uncle Shui, didn't you say this was the last time? You're going again?"
"Don't be afraid, it will definitely work next time."
"I don't mean that, I just..."
"Let's go, they're coming out!" Water Daddy walked away quickly.
Manager Fang had no choice but to follow him.
"Alright."
Li Yang pried open the elevator door and asked with a smile, "Who wants to climb out first?"
"Sister Shui should go out first. She's familiar with this place and can find someone," Lin Xiaoyu said quickly.
Li Yang nodded and smiled, "That makes sense. Sister Shui, I'll send you out first."
"How will you send me?" Shui Xiang asked with some difficulty, looking at the half-open doorway leading outside.
It was so high, and with her clothes, climbing up would be inconvenient.
Li Yang smiled, reached out, and picked her up. "Of course, it's like a human pyramid. I'll support you from below, and you'll be high enough to climb out."
"Good idea, Li Yang, you're so smart," Shui Xiang said happily.
But in the next second, her cheeks couldn't help but blush.
Li Yang was indeed supporting her from below, but the position of his palm was so embarrassing for her that she couldn't help but clench her legs.
If Lin Xiaoyu weren't here, Shui Xiang would have let out a soft cry, "You, where are you touching?"
"When supporting someone from below, this is how it's done. Sister Shui, don't be shy with me. Lives are at stake, let's get you up first," Li Yang said, looking at her. They were practically an old married couple, why be so shy?
Even though he had touched her several times, Li Yang couldn't help but be momentarily lost in Shui Xiang's soft curves when touching her again, and unconsciously squeezed a couple of times.
Shui Xiang's body went soft, and she almost fell, "Li Yang, don't squeeze randomly."
"No, I'm adjusting my grip to support you up more firmly," Li Yang quickly argued.
If a man couldn't argue, wouldn't his mouth be a waste?
Shui Xiang blushed and said coquettishly, "You're arguing. When we get up, I won't help you up."
"Don't say that, Sister Shui. I admit it, okay? Let's hurry up and get up. What if the elevator slides down? That would be trouble," Li Yang urged.
Although the distance to the first floor wasn't very high, if the elevator fell apart, any flying metal debris could be fatal.
Shui Xiang quickly reached out and climbed outside. She climbed out smoothly, but her buttocks still felt a special burning sensation, making her involuntarily clench her legs.
She squatted at the doorway and said, "Wait for me."
"Okay, Sister Shui, don't rush, take your time," Lin Xiaoyu said calmly, unhurriedly.
Looking at the elevator with only two people left, she felt a hint of secret joy in her heart. This way, she could be alone with Brother Li.
She really hoped Sister Shui would bring people to rescue them later.
However, just as Shui Xiang was about to twist her waist to turn, she saw Li Yang smile and say, "No need for so much trouble. Xiaoyu, I'll lift you up too, and then I'll climb out myself."
"Ah?" Lin Xiaoyu was stunned.
Li Yang squatted down and said, "Don't 'ah'. Step on my hands, and I'll send you up."
"This, this will hurt you, Brother Li. I can't do this." Lin Xiaoyu still wanted to be alone with him. She had heard that in confined spaces, relationships between men and women could be furthered.
How could she miss such a good opportunity?
Li Yang smiled, "With your small frame, are you even seventy pounds? Hurry up and step on my hands."
"But..."
"Stop dawdling, or I'll take advantage of you and send you up like I did Sister Shui," Li Yang threatened.
Unexpectedly, Lin Xiaoyu asked, "Really?"
"Hmm?" Li Yang was taken aback. Why did it feel like she wasn't panicked at all, but rather wanted him to send her up like that?
It must be an illusion.
"Of course, it's true. I'll count to three. If you don't step on, my actions will become rough."
"You, you be rough, I won't blame you, Brother Li," Lin Xiaoyu said, taking a small step forward, actively inviting Li Yang to be rough with her.
Li Yang was a bit confused, "No, I'm not joking."
"I'm not joking either."
"Alright, I'll fulfill your wish." Li Yang scooped her slender waist up, then supported her with one hand, sending her upwards.
Feeling Li Yang's large palm on her, Lin Xiaoyu's entire body went soft, almost collapsing into his arms. Her cheeks were incredibly red, and her mind buzzed, completely blank.
Li Yang said, "Climb up?"
"Ah?"
"I'm not saying 'ah' to you, I'm telling you to climb up. Forget it, Sister Shui, you pull her up." Li Yang was a bit speechless. What was wrong with this girl? Ever since the elevator malfunctioned, she'd been acting strangely.
"She might have been scared by the elevator accident. You comfort her well later."
"Oh, I see. No wonder I felt Xiaoyu was a bit off just now." Shui Xiang quickly pulled her up and patted her back, saying, "Xiaoyu, don't be scared. It's just a normal elevator malfunction, and you've come up safely. It's alright, don't be afraid."
"Mm, mm." Lin Xiaoyu felt an intense burning sensation on her buttocks, her heart pounding, completely unable to say anything. She just nodded mechanically in response.
Li Yang jumped up lightly and said, "Sister Shui, we're all up. Let's get someone to repair the elevator."
"I'll call Manager Fang right away. You guys go to the office first," Shui Xiang nodded.
Manager Fang received the call and pretended to be unaware as he walked over, saying in surprise, "Boss, are you alright? Should I call an ambulance?"
"No, thanks to Li Yang's capabilities, we were rescued unharmed," Shui Xiang shook her head and said, "Hurry up and have the maintenance workers properly repair it."
"Oh, and also check all the other equipment. Recently, the doors have been breaking or the circuits have been malfunctioning. It's fine that I encountered it, but if guests did, wouldn't it ruin our reputation as a gem-appraisal venue?"
"Yes, Boss. I'll arrange for the maintenance workers to conduct a comprehensive inspection immediately and ensure that such incidents do not happen again." Manager Fang quickly replied.
Shui Xiang hummed, "Go and get busy."
"Li Yang, come and take a look at this thing for me."
