Five years after their breakup, a prominent lawyer is desperately seeking reconciliation.

On the Haicheng Ring Expressway, Fang Tian was driving Lu Jingshi home.

Lu Guokun had been drinking today, and his driver had also taken the day off, so Lu Jingshi asked Lao Yang to take them home.

"Ah Shi, where's your usual GLS63? Why has it been Lao Yang picking you up and dropping you off lately?"

"It crashed."

Fang Tian's heart jumped, and she glanced at him sideways.

"When did you crash? Why didn't you tell me?"

She suddenly remembered that he did have a noticeable wound on his forehead a few days ago.

She asked him, and Lu Jingshi said he bumped into something by accident, so it must have been that time that caused the injury.

"I didn't want you to worry. Don't worry, I won't die."

Lu Jingshi leaned back lazily in his seat, his fingers tapping rhythmically on his knees.

Seeing that he didn't want to say more, Fang Tian stopped talking.

But I felt a sweet warmth in my heart.

The sudden ringing of a cell phone broke the silence inside the car.

Fang Tian quickly rolled her eyes and caught sight of Lu Jingshi's name on his phone screen.

"Old Wang."

He answered the call, and Wang Yiran's voice, filled with a mixture of hope and anxiety, came through the receiver.

"Old classmates, are you still working overtime?"

"no."

"So... are you with Jiang Wan?"

Lu Jingshi frowned: "No, not either."

"But Jiang Wan... Jiang Wan hasn't come back yet, and she's not answering her phone. I'll ask around."

Lu Jingshi hung up the phone in silence.

"Miss Jiang is a grown woman, everyone has needs, maybe she's out on a date."

Lu Jingshi remained silent, quickly scrolling through his phone.

WeChat, text messages, and phone calls—all kept clean and tidy.

Suddenly, he noticed several red dots on the security app that Xiao Wu had downloaded for him that day.

He clicked on it and was shocked to find that half an hour earlier, someone had tried to unlock the access control dozens of times but was refused!

Lu Jingshi's breathing became slightly labored, while Jiang Wan suffered from severe claustrophobia.

When they first got together, she was even afraid to take the elevator alone.

It was only through my active efforts in helping her seek treatment and seeing psychologists all over Haicheng that her condition gradually improved.

If this really is Jiang Wan, he can't imagine how desperate she must have felt when she found herself trapped.

But at this moment, due to the system's automatic upgrade, the one-click unlock that represented ultimate privileges has turned gray.

Not operable.

"Turn around and head to the station."

"Ah Shi, finding someone should be left to the police. Wang Yiran is confused, and you're just making a mess of things too."

"I said turn around and go back to the station."

His voice was extremely cold, sending chills down one's spine, and carrying a suffocating and oppressive quality that compelled one to obey.

Fang Tian slammed on the brakes, and the wheels spun and came to a stop in the middle of the road, screeching as they scraped against the ground.

The car behind honked its horn and whizzed past, barely touching the car body.

Someone opened the window, became emotional, and showered the window with greetings.

Fang Tian bit her lower lip, jerked the steering wheel, turned the car around, and sped into the night behind her...

Several police cars and ambulances were parked downstairs at Kairong Building.

The entrance was cordoned off.

When they saw someone approaching, the police came over to stop them.

"Move back, there are people trapped inside. Their condition is unknown. Our computer experts are working to bypass security measures. No one is allowed to approach!"

"I am the director of Kairong. The people trapped are my men. I need to get up."

Lu Jingshi lifted the police tape, crawled inside, and ran into the building.

The elevator stopped running, so he pushed open the door to the fire escape and climbed the stairs, taking three steps at a time.

In the printing room on the 22nd floor, Jiang Wan huddled in a corner.

There seemed to be many people outside the door, and the sounds seemed to come from a great distance, buzzing and indistinct.

Soaked in sweat, fear made her consider opening the window and jumping out.

With a barely audible "All done."

The door opened automatically with a "ding," and a figure rushed in quickly.

He picked up Jiang Wan from the corner and left the stuffy printing room.

The sudden flow of fresh air relieved the tightness in Jiang Wan's chest somewhat.

"Wanwan, how are you? Can you see me clearly?"

Jiang Wan slowly opened her eyes, her throat dry and sore, her voice broken and intermittent: "Gu Yang... thank you."

In the last moment before he fainted, Gu Yang saw his missed call and received a call.

Sensing something was wrong with her, he immediately called the police and rushed over from the airport.

"Let's not talk about this now, let's go to the hospital."

The security was forcibly broken through by the experts, and the elevator was restored to normal operation.

Jiang Wan leaned against Gu Yang's chest, watching the elevator slowly rise to the 22nd floor.

Almost the instant the elevator doors opened, the fire door on the left was kicked open with great force.

As Fang Tian stepped out of the elevator, a hint of sadness flashed in her eyes as she looked at Lu Jingshi, who was breathing slightly heavily.

"Jiang Wan, are you alright?"

Jiang Wan looked at the two people who appeared at the same time, and recalled the phone call that had been hung up three times. A sour and dull pain welled up in her heart.

She lowered her head, blinked away the tears in her eyes, and gently shook her head.

"Thank you, Director Lu, Director Fang, I'm alright now."

Gu Yang nodded to Lu Jingshi and carried Jiang Wan into the elevator.

A pair of long, slender, fair hands reached out and grasped Jiang Wan's wrist.

"Since you're alright, get off and walk by yourself."

Jiang Wan looked at the owner of those beautiful hands in disbelief.

Was he speaking human language?

She had just escaped from a desperate situation, and he was already so eager to torment her?

"Mr. Lu, Wanwan is feeling very unwell and needs to go to the hospital immediately."

Lu Jingshi ignored everyone else and only looked at Jiang Wan, repeating the same thing once again.

"Get down and walk by yourself."

Jiang Wan's lips trembled uncontrollably, and tears almost welled up in her eyes.

She pushed Gu Yang aside, held onto the elevator door, and shuffled inside by herself.

Gu Yang glanced at Lu Jingshi with displeasure and wanted to help Jiang Wan up.

But someone beat them to it and squeezed them out of the elevator.

Lu Jingshi quickly pressed the close button.

The elevator doors slowly closed to Fang Tian and Gu Yang's astonishment.

Jiang Wan opened her mouth, wondering what he wanted to do.

"If you can't stand, lean on me."

Jiang Wan's eyes flickered.

In the past, Lu Jingshi rented an apartment with an elevator specifically to help her overcome claustrophobia.

Every day on his way to and from get off work, he would hold her tightly in his arms.

Day after day, year after year, until she overcame the elevator scenario.

But their relationship is clearly not like that now.

His real girlfriend is still upstairs.

"No need, I can stand."

The elevator stopped on the first floor. As soon as the doors opened, medical staff rushed in, and a stretcher was placed to the side.

Someone wanted to come up and help Jiang go at night, but Lu Jingshi stopped them.

He bent down, picked Jiang Wan up in his arms, and walked step by step toward the ambulance outside the door.

"It hurts my hand."

Jiang Wan felt annoyed; she knew he wasn't being kind.

"Then put it down, I'll walk by myself."

Lu Jingshi sneered: "I'm afraid you're deliberately exaggerating your losses to extort money from me for work-related injury."

His arms suddenly loosened, startling Jiang Wan, who reached out and hugged his neck tightly.

"Offering herself to you again?"

Jiang Wan wasn't as sharp-tongued as him, so she simply shut up and ignored him.

But suddenly she felt that after these few rounds, she seemed to be calmer and her strength had recovered a lot.
