"This..."
The beautiful receptionist, upon hearing this, her eyes darted around, but she couldn't find an excuse to refuse.
She knew Li Feifei's character; whatever she said, she would definitely do.
If she were truly made to compensate, she might not be able to afford it even if she sold everything she owned.
Thinking this, she had no choice but to agree obediently, nodding and saying, "Okay, I'll do as Feifei-jie arranges."
Immediately after, she led the way, following the direction Li Yang indicated, and cautiously walked step by step towards the elevator.
Ever since the "madman incident" yesterday, no one from the company's upper management had used the elevator on the right side, fearing it might still bring disaster.
Some people in the company were even spreading rumors that there was an evil spirit in the right elevator, and that the employee who went mad yesterday must have been possessed by an evil spirit to have done such a crazy thing.
And today, the direction Li Yang was having her lead was the very elevator where the incident occurred.
Not only was the receptionist leading the way feeling nervous, but Li Feifei and her bodyguard assistant also felt extremely apprehensive. The closer they got to the elevator, the more they felt as if the madman from yesterday would appear from within.
Only Li Yang, following behind, appeared exceptionally calm.
Ding!
As the elevator doors opened, everyone behind was startled by the crisp sound, as if it were the tolling of a soul-reaping bell.
Li Yang looked inside the elevator but found nothing peculiar, indicating that the source of yesterday's disaster was not the elevator itself.
"What are you still standing there for? Lead the way inside," Li Yang said, seeing the receptionist trembling in place, unable to help but command.
"Okay, okay!"
The receptionist was so scared she was about to wet herself, but she had no other choice. She reluctantly agreed and timidly walked inside.
Ding!
The elevator doors closed quickly, and Li Feifei pressed the button for the top-floor office area. The elevator began to ascend slowly.
Li Yang kept a close eye on the bracelet on the receptionist's wrist. If any malevolent energy appeared nearby, the bracelet would surely react.
This was why Li Yang had her lead the charge.
Li Yang wasn't trying to specifically punish or scare her; it was because her bracelet truly had a significant impact on malevolent energy. At the very least, it would stimulate changes in the magnetic field of the area where the malevolent energy was located, thus preventing the malevolent energy from hiding peacefully.
The elevator soon reached the halfway point. The interior of the elevator remained calm, and nothing happened.
However, despite the calmness, everyone inside the elevator was on edge, their nerves constantly taut, fearing that some strange event might occur. They even imagined if the madman would break through the elevator doors and barge in.
Ding!
As the elevator ascended two more floors, it suddenly stopped.
At this moment, everyone in the elevator was extremely tense!
This was because the elevator had stopped on the thirteenth floor. This floor was rarely used, serving mostly as a storage room. Moreover, it wasn't the time for cleaning staff to be working, so it was impossible for anyone to be there.
But if there was no one, who had pressed the elevator button from the outside?
As everyone's emotions were in turmoil, the elevator soon came to a stable halt.
Everyone's heartbeats quickened. As the elevator doors slowly opened a crack, they all instinctively covered their eyes, fearing they might see something they shouldn't.
Even the bodyguard protecting Li Feifei's safety had his hands trembling uncontrollably.
"Don't be nervous, there's nothing outside."
Li Yang's expression was blank. Seeing that the elevator doors were fully open and the area outside was empty, he walked forward to inspect it. With no one on either side, he returned and pressed the close button, and the elevator continued to ascend.
Click!
After the elevator traveled two floors upwards, the lights inside suddenly malfunctioned. With a strange sound, the inside of the elevator plunged into complete darkness.
"Ah!"
Li Feifei, the receptionist, and Li Feifei's assistant simultaneously let out three screams!
The voices of these three women were so loud they seemed about to go deaf, as if they had seen a heavenly road.
Li Yang covered his ears and was about to comfort Li Feifei when, before he could speak, a warm body suddenly moved closer to him, and two warm hands tightly embraced him.
Thump!
After being hugged, Li Yang quickly realized it was a woman because of the different sensation against his chest.
"Help, help, I don't want to die!"
Li Feifei's voice came from beside Li Yang's ear. Only then did Li Yang recognize her.
Li Yang gently pried her hands away and comforted her, "Feifei, my great star, let go of me. This way, I can't ensure your safety."
"Li, Mr. Li? I was hugging you? I'm so sorry!"
Li Feifei had thought she was hugging her assistant. When she heard Li Yang's voice, she nervously let go.
Li Yang was quite speechless and said to everyone, "Don't be nervous. There's nothing unusual in the elevator. This is just an accident."
"Let's hope so!"
Li Feifei nodded nervously, praying silently that no more strange things would happen.
Swish!
Just as she thought this, the bracelet on the receptionist's hand suddenly emitted a green light.
At this moment, Li Yang quickly pinpointed the source of the malevolent energy. Guided by his senses, he reached for the elevator stop button, judging that the source of the malevolent energy was on this floor.
Ding!
The elevator doors opened, and Li Yang rushed out immediately. The others followed, only to see that the floor was empty, with nothing there.
Li Feifei couldn't help but curiously step forward and say, "Mr. Li, did you discover something? This floor is the makeup room for the actors. Since there's no performance now, there shouldn't be anyone here."
"I know there's no one here, but the malevolent energy is emanating from here. Stay close to me, and have the receptionist continue to lead the way," Li Yang instructed, observing his surroundings.
"What? Still me?"
The receptionist blinked in surprise, feeling extremely timid as she stepped forward, moving cautiously, even more scared than before.
Li Yang kept pointing in directions, guiding the woman along the path he indicated, his gaze keenly observing everything around him.
As the receptionist reached the third makeup room ahead, Li Yang again noticed her jade glowing. He quickly stopped her, "It's here. Push the door open and go in."
"I, I don't dare!"
The receptionist's legs trembled uncontrollably, feeling even more nervous than when she had lost her virginity.
She took small steps forward, unable to help but plead with Li Yang, "Mr. Li, please find someone else. I really don't have the courage."
"If you don't go in, the great star Feifei won't let you off the hook. You should think carefully," Li Yang asked with a faint smile.
He found it quite amusing to see the woman trembling non-stop, cold sweat beading on her forehead.
"I, I!"
The receptionist was very timid. She glanced back at Li Feifei and, seeing Li Feifei's stern expression, immediately came to her senses. Mustering her courage, she closed her eyes and pushed open the door ahead.
