Madam Li's Identity Is Exposed Again!

Chapter 2189: Chapter 2198: Quietly Shut Up

”Li Beijue...” The Elevator was shaking especially hard. As she struggled to stay on her feet, she instinctively reached out, wanting to grab the man in front of her.

In the Darkness, she could feel herself yanked into a burning hot, solid embrace. That embrace was like a tightly sealed wall, giving her a powerful sense of safety.

”I’m here.”

Bang, bang! The Elevator, as if unable to bear the load, once again let out the sound of Steel cable snapping. This time the Elevator shook even more violently.

After a fierce jolt, Chi Enen almost lost her balance.

Huo Yi’s anxious, tense voice came through the Walkie-talkies. ”Master Jue, time’s almost up. Why haven’t you come up yet?”

”Beijue, what the hell are you doing! Hurry up and bring Enen up! If you don’t get up now, it’ll be too late!” Si Chen sounded like he’d snatched the Walkie-talkies, shouting in panic.

Li Beijue calmly helped Chi Enen put on the rope, tightened the rope, tied a dead knot, then pressed his thin lips together, his cold eyes narrowing like starlight as he spoke. ”The Nylon Rope joint can’t take the weight of two people.”

He said it as calmly as if he were commenting that the weather Today was nice.

There was a brief two-second silence on the other end of the Walkie-talkies before they finally processed what he meant, roaring like they wanted to jump down there themselves. ”How is that possible? Then what do we do? Don’t tell me you plan to leave yourself down there!”

”Beijue, you’re insane! I told you from the start not to take this risk, told you not to, and you just wouldn’t listen! Now what?”

Si Chen paced back and forth but couldn’t think of a single solution. Agitated, he reached up and ruffled his Hair into a mess, the Noble Young Master losing his composure for the First time.

”Hold on a bit. I’ll have them prep another rope and throw it down!”

That was the best option!

Huo Yi was just about to stop him.

The man on the Walkie-talkies had already stopped him. ”...There’s no time.”

Si Chen kicked the wall hard, his voice weak. ”Then what now? What can I still do for you?”

”Shut up and be quiet.”

Simple enough, and rough enough!

”At a time like this, you still have the mood to joke!” Si Chen wanted to say more.

The connection on the other end of the Walkie-talkies had already been cut.

He held the Walkie-talkies and called ”Hello, hello!” several times, but no one answered him.

He raised his hand, nearly smashing the Walkie-talkies with the glowing Red Light onto the ground. Right before he threw it, he remembered this was the only device that could contact Li Beijue below. Gritting his teeth, he lowered his hand again. Clutching the Walkie-talkies tight, his eyebrows knitted in anxiety as he paced back and forth...

Pacing was no longer enough to ease the anxiety in his chest. After two circles, he stopped in front of Huo Leiting. ”Lei Ting, you—”

Huo Leiting seemed to know what he wanted to say. Just as he opened his mouth, Huo Leiting cut him off. ”There’s nothing I can do either.”

Si Chen lashed out with a furious kick at the wall in front of him, forcing down his temper. ”No one can do anything? We can’t just stand here and watch Beijue and Enen get into trouble!”

”Then what do you want to do?”

”I...”

”Prepare a new rope? Like Beijue said, there’s no time.” Huo Leiting paused, then added, ”Even if there were, Beijue wouldn’t use it. Didn’t you see over at the receiving head, it’s only built to haul up one person’s weight?”

If having one more rope could guarantee absolute safety, Beijue would have told Huo Yi to prepare two ropes from the start.

It wasn’t a mistake.

He’d known from the very beginning that this was a choose-one-of-two situation!
