Chapter 188 Threaten

Gu Xingruo neither hit nor scolded anyone, and she was very calm, which was unlike her.

She waved to the people standing behind her and said, "Let's deal with it. There will be plenty of opportunities for us to cooperate in the future."

These words were not only spoken to Zhang Zhiyuan, but also to everyone present today.

Gu Xingruo had originally planned to leave after staying for six days, but she doesn't plan to leave now.

Since these people want to send her away, she refuses to leave!
At first, Xu Wen wanted to stop Gu Xingruo from taking action, but he didn't expect that she would actually hold back.

Not only did he resist the urge to hit Zhang Zhiyuan, he even learned how to speak in a sarcastic tone.

He inexplicably felt that the child he had been raising had finally grown up.

Although Gu Xingruo was no longer as straightforward as before, what she said was still easy to understand. How could Zhang Zhiyuan not understand?

"Miss, Miss, please listen to me, this is really an accident." He walked forward again, ready to continue explaining.

But Gu Xingruo didn't give him the chance. She turned to look at Xu Wen and Chen Tianbao and said, "Let's go to the classroom and take a look."

She planned to check on the students first and make sure they were safe before dealing with the electrical issue.

Before leaving, Gu Xingruo said without even turning her head: "Instead of explaining to me, light up the hotel first."

After saying this, she strode forward, and Zhang Zhiyuan didn't dare to stop her even though he stretched out his hand.

He just stood there awkwardly, wanting to explain but not having the chance.

Xu Wen wanted to see Zhang Zhiyuan's current expression, but unfortunately it was pitch black around him, with only the "Safe Passage" sign emitting a faint green light.

The group of people behind them all had flashlights in their hands, but they were not enough to illuminate their expressions.

"Teacher, please tell the young lady that this power outage was definitely an accident." Zhang Zhiyuan grabbed Xu Wen's arm again.

He didn't expect that he would set his sights on him again just by looking at him.

I don’t know if Zhang Zhiyuan realized that he was the one who publicly confronted him backstage in the classroom a few days ago.

Besides, it wasn’t just Gu Xingruo who was trapped in the elevator, he was also there. Couldn’t this stupid general manager even say an apology?

Xu Wen didn't ignore Zhang Zhiyuan directly. He planned to scare him before leaving.

“Instead of thinking about how to explain to your eldest daughter, you might as well think about how to explain to the master above. He knows what happened tonight and he will definitely not let you go.” He deliberately lowered his voice and tone, as if he was telling a ghost story.

He felt like the villain in a classic martial arts novel. The protagonist beat the younger one, and he began to threaten the protagonist, saying that the older one would not let him go.

But unfortunately, reality is not a martial arts novel, and Zhang Zhiyuan is not the protagonist.

If Gu Hong knew that his daughter was trapped in the elevator tonight, he would definitely be furious.

Perhaps to outsiders, the relationship between father and daughter is not good, or even a little distant.

But only Xu Wen, who experienced it personally, knew that Gu Hong would never give up even the slightest grudge for the sake of her daughter.

If Zhang Zhiyuan used a small stick, he would probably regard it as a training for Gu Xingruo and would not say anything.

But if something unexpected happens, it will be completely different.

As he got closer, he finally saw Zhang Zhiyuan's expression clearly. His face looked a little ugly.

"Mr. Gu, Mr. Gu." Zhang Zhiyuan wanted to explain.

But Xu Wen didn't give him a chance to continue: "It's no use telling me."

Before leaving, he deliberately patted Zhang Zhiyuan on the shoulder.

After a little scare, he quickly ran away and escaped with one blow.

Xu Wen thought this was very interesting, and it was also a small revenge for being trapped in the elevator tonight.

As for the rest of the matters, Gu Hong would take care of them, so there was no need for him to intervene.

The Chengyi Hotel still has not restored its power and it is pitch black all around. The three of them walked down the stairs, relying entirely on the flashlight held by Chen Tianbao for lighting.

They returned to the classroom and met up with the teaching assistant who was in charge of maintaining order.

Although the power outage was very sudden, fortunately the students did not encounter any accidents and everyone has now returned to their rooms to rest.

The only loss in this matter is probably that I can't grade the papers I did tonight. "There are guests making trouble in the lobby on the first floor. Do you want to go and watch the fun?" Chen Tianbao said after putting down his phone.

Gu Xingruo didn't seem interested in what he said. She waved her hand absentmindedly, "That's what they want to worry about. I don't believe they can blame me for this. I was trapped in the elevator. I'm also a victim."

She was thinking about what to do next. After all, the harsh words had already been said, and she couldn't just do nothing.

If you can't think of it tonight, you can think of it tomorrow.

"It's getting late. I have to go back and rest. My first class tomorrow morning is at 6:30." Xu Wen yawned.

After learning that nothing happened to the students, he finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Since Huagong Education suffered no losses, the rest is all about Chengyi Hotel.

There was nothing for him to participate in. He was just a little teacher. The most important thing now was to go back and sleep.

"Well, let's go back and have some rest. We can talk about anything tomorrow morning." Chen Tianbao was also tired.

People feel very tired when they are extremely nervous.

One of the three went down and drove home, while the other two went up and returned to where they lived.

It’s very comfortable to live on the 17th floor. Whenever you look up, you can see the beautiful night view from a high vantage point.

But the prerequisite for being cool is to have an elevator. If there is no elevator, it would not be cool at all.

Xu Wen and Gu Xingruo walked together, and they climbed up step by step.

Fortunately, everyone had just received military training and their physical condition was in good condition, so climbing the 17th floor was no big deal.

When they walked to the twelfth floor, the originally dark environment suddenly became bright, and there were also sounds of various unknown electrical appliances running.

The power outage, which lasted nearly an hour, finally ended and they regained light.

This power outage is definitely a major accident for the hotel, especially during the National Day holiday.

Fortunately, most of the rooms are occupied by teachers and students of Huagong Education. The students will not cause trouble, only the remaining guests will cause trouble.

But Xu Wen understood that if it weren't for them, the hotel wouldn't have had a power outage.

When power was restored, the elevator also started operating again.

All of the six elevators are usable except for the one that was broken into.

The two of them have now reached the twelfth floor, and there are only five floors left to go to the seventeenth floor.

As the call came in, they looked at each other and understood what the other wanted to say.

Gu Xingruo spoke first: "I think we should not take the elevator, right?"

Xu Wen also nodded: "Well, climb up."

At least now, at least tonight, they all have some concerns about elevators.

There were only five floors left, and the two climbed up quickly. When they reached the door of the room, Gu Xingruo turned around and stretched out her hand to Xu Wen: "From today on, we can be considered friends who have shared life and death."

She suddenly felt that the bond between her and Xu Wen had increased a little bit.

Although it was just an ordinary power outage, the elevator triggered the emergency brake at the moment of the power outage.

But when she felt the violent shaking, she did wonder for a moment whether they were going to die there.

Not only Gu Xingruo, Xu Wen also had the same idea.

He thought his new life was coming to an end, and he died unclearly again.

Xu Wen gently held the hand that Gu Xingruo extended to him: "Then congratulations on the fact that we can still stand here and talk now."

The young lady felt the warmth coming from his hand and was reluctant to let go.

But in the silence, Apple's default ringtone sounded.

Gu Xingruo watched Xu Wen let go of his hand and took out his cell phone, then saw the note on the phone, Xia Ning.
