My Mr. Gu is Courting Death Again - Chapter 660

Chapter 660: Unanticipated Freefall (2)

“What’s happening?”

Assistant Lin’s asked in a flustered voice outside the elevator. The maintenance man, too, began to panic as he explained, “It seems like we didn’t manage to stabilize the lift and it’s faulty again. We have to get CEO Gu out quickly!”

Assistant Lin quickly yelled into the elevator, “CEO Gu, give me your hand!”

“Okay,” Gu yu replied with composure.

Before Xu Weilai could react to the sudden turn of events, Gu Yu suddenly bent down slightly in front of her and wrapped his arms around her legs before he lifted her up to towards the opening at the top of the elevator

“Give them your hand,” Gu Yu instructed in a calm and steady voice.

Xu Weilai then realized that Gu Yu intended to get her out of the elevator first. However, with how badly the elevator was shaking, it was clearly at the risk of plunging any moment.

“Hurry!”

Without further ado, Xu Weilai stretched out her hand and someone instantly grabbed onto her arm and yanked her up forcefully while Gu Yu supported her body from below to help push her up.

Gritting her teeth hard, Xu Weilai exhausted all her strength to try her best to work together with everyone else to climb out of the elevator in the shortest amount of time possible.

Without pausing to take a breath, she quickly extended her hand into the elevator and urged, “Gu Yu, give me your hand. You should get out quickly too!”

She could feel Gu Yu slipping his hand into hers but just when she was about to hold onto it, the elevator let out a terrifying groan as if something had snapped. In the next instant, the elevator began to freefall and accelerate.

Xu Weilai managed to grab hold of Gu Yu’s finger but could feel them slipping through her fingers and by the time she tightened her grip, all that she was grasping at was the air.

“Gu Yu!”

“CEO Gu!”

Following everyone’s shrieks of terror, an earsplitting crash could be heard and it was obvious that the elevator had smashed into the ground.

…

The ambulance arrived in no time and Gu Yu was lifted into the car. Although Xu Weilai wanted to board the ambulance, she was stopped by Assistant Lin on the basis that she was no longer related to Gu Yu and was on no grounds to follow them.

Xu Weilai could only hail a cab to tail the ambulance. They soon arrived at the hospital together with the ambulance.

Many people arrived at the hospital in droves after Gu Yu was wheeled into the operatingon theatre.

Zuo An, Zuo Si, Xiao Chun and a few members of the upper management had shown up. As the doctor had yet to disclose Gu Yu’s condition, Assistant Lin dismissed the members of the management team. Eventually, only Zuo An, Zuo Si, Xiao Chun, and Xu Weilai remained outside the operating theatre to await the verdict on Gu Yu’s condition.

Meanwhile, Assistant Lin went on to handle the paperwork for Gu Yu’s treatment.

Zuo An simply stood there with a look of indifference. On the other hand, Zuo Si had balled up her fists subconsciously as she leaned against the wall and she seemed terribly upset. Xiao Chun remained by Xu Weilai’s side and reached over to wrap her hands around Xu Weilai’s. From time to time, she would console, “He would be fine. Don’t worry.”

Zuo An lifted his head up and glanced over at them. When he saw how deathly pale Xu Weilai’s face was and how her body was trembling, he turned and left.

Minutes later, he returned with a cup of hot cocoa and walked over to Xu Weilai to hand her the drink before he suggested, “Drink some of this to warm your body and calm yourself down.”

However, Xu Weilai did not budge and Xiao Chun had to accept it on her behalf. “Thank you,” Xiao Chun replied politely.

She then held the drink up to Xu Weilai’s lips and coaxed gently, “Here, have a drink first. You must be terribly shaken as well. You need to replenish your energy. You can’t afford to collapse.”

Xu Weilai stared at her dazedly before she finally opened her mouth and took a gulp.

After the operation went on for almost three hours, the red light above the operating theatre was finally turned off.
