Chi Yi rushed to the construction site anxiously.

However, to her surprise, the construction site was not as chaotic as she had imagined. A security team was carefully and orderly evacuating the people, and the riot police were also rushing to the scene.

Chi Yi stepped forward anxiously and asked, ” where’s my uncle now? ”

The security guard who was asked looked puzzled. “Young lady, who is your uncle?”

“Chi zuxu! Where is he now?”

“Argh! So it was Little Miss! President Chi is still in the middle of it!” The security guard pointed at the unfinished building in front of them.

The moment he finished speaking, Chi Yi had already disappeared without a trace.

The building had not been built yet, so there was no elevator to the top floor. The only way up and down was to take the construction elevator or the stairs.

However, Chi Yi was too eager to see Chi zuxu. The sun would probably have set by the time she reached the top floor of this thirty-eighth floor.

Without hesitation, she got into the elevator and pressed the automatic button. The elevator slowly rose along the outer wall.

The speed was very slow, but her worried heart seemed to be about to fly out!

Didn’t the news report that he was injured? Why hadn’t he gone to the hospital to treat his wound yet? What if the injury was too serious and he delayed the treatment time? The more Chi Yi thought about it, the more anxious she became. The more anxious she became, the more she felt that the lift was moving too slowly.

Moreover, the lift was not only slow, but it also seemed to be shaking very badly, as if it was really about to collapse.

Even so, Chi Yi did not have the extra energy to worry about her own safety. All her thoughts were on Chi zuxu.

Upstairs, Chi zuxu was personally directing the crowd’s counseling work in an orderly manner, dragging his grief.

“President Chi, please.”

Shi Rong reminded him from behind. do you think that person in the lift looks like Little Miss? ”

Shi Rong pointed at the monitor screen in front of them.

On the screen, Chi Yi’s little face was pale as she paced back and forth in the elevator in a panic. Perhaps because she was too anxious, she did not realize that the elevator she was on was already on the verge of collapse.

“Damn it!”

Chi zuxu cursed and threw the walkie-talkie in his hand away. He then sprinted to the roof like a madman.

At this moment, Shi Rong also noticed something amiss and hurriedly chased after them. Seeing that the employees behind him were still in a daze, he hurriedly shouted, ” hurry up and help!! Hurry-”

Chi zuxu only took thirty seconds to rush to the rooftop. The moment the door to the rooftop was pushed open, the steel rope supporting the lift completely snapped. The rope slid out at a speed that exceeded human limits, causing the lift to descend rapidly. Waves of Chi Yi’s panicked screams could be heard from inside as her hoarse voice was exhausted …

Chi zuxu could not care less about his injuries. He pounced forward, reached out, and grabbed the broken Steel rope. He was dragged by the elevator to the edge of the top floor. After being dragged for nearly ten meters, he was finally stuck by the low guardrails at the edge of the top floor. Only then did he not get dragged down along with the elevator.

Just as Chi Yi thought that she was going to fall to her death, the lift suddenly came to a stop.

The moment she looked up, she saw Chi zuxu on the roof of the Xuanji building.

His two hands were tightly gripping the thick steel rope. Chi Yi could even clearly see that the veins on his forehead were popping out due to the excessive force he had used. He gritted his teeth tightly, and the veins on his two strong arms were also about to pop out.

His right arm was still bleeding profusely.
