"Is your phone out of battery?" she asked calmly.

"Not much." Gu Zi asked him to reveal his intentions. "The watch also has the function of lighting. Try opening it."

Mingxue was smiling. So he wanted to test her. She wasn't afraid, after all, she was an expert in the exam.

However, it didn't seem like there was a need for her to get first place every time. There was no room for improvement at all. Should she make an exception every once in a while?

Mingxue was becoming naughty. She followed her memory to find the illumination button, but did not press it. Instead, she pressed the call for help button that was not on the same side as the light button.

The watch made no sound, as if she hadn't moved it from beginning to end.

Ming Xue Mo was slightly puzzled: Why is there no reaction? Could it be because Big Brother Gu has been wearing it for too long that its lifespan has expired? If so, she really asked him for a new one, and this old one wouldn't be returned to him!

Just as Ming Xue Mo made her plans, hurried footsteps came from outside. She even heard Ah Lie's voice, "Young Master, what's wrong?" He sounded anxious, as if he was going to dig open the elevator with his bare hands and climb in to save them.

Mingxue Mou knew that the watch was good, that there was no problem with each key and that the function was well-designed. Just think about it, if she were to fall into the hands of a bad person right now and the bad person even heard her calling for help, she would probably die even faster. He had to be silent!

Ah Lie's footsteps were getting closer and closer. He hadn't heard Gu Zi's response, and his voice was becoming more and more anxious. "Young Master —"

Mingxue was afraid that he would knock on the elevator door. They had avoided the elevator's descent twice. If he ended up smacking their faces down, it would be too much of a loss.

He quickly took the initiative to explain, "It's fine, I pressed the wrong button."

"…"

There was a moment of silence; then, with a thud, something fell to the ground. Finally, after a long time, Alec's voice rang out again, "Young master, since you're fine, I'll continue working on the generator." Judging from his tone, he seemed to have suffered a heavy internal injury.

Gu Zi asked after hearing that Ali had walked far away. "You're being naughty again." With a doting tone, he said, "You are smarter than me. I've worn this watch for so many years, but I still haven't found any entertainment features."

Ming Xue laughed dryly. In fact, she regretted it the moment she heard that A-Lie fell to the ground. Her little prank had given them such a fright. It was really inappropriate. Furthermore, this watch was Big Brother Gu's personal belongings. Every signal that came out of the watch represented the message that Big Brother Gu wanted to send to them. She was actually making fun of Big Brother Gu's safety.

The more Ming Xue Mo thought about it, the more she felt that she had done something wrong. She stopped her unnatural laughter and seriously said, "I won't randomly press again in the future."

Gu Zi asked if he had told her that all the core members of the Gu family were able to receive the signal, so they couldn't move around as they please, or else they would easily panic, just like they did just now. Ming Xue Mo was a smart person, so she was aware of the seriousness of the situation.

Casually, he said, "Of course not. You always press it to make it go out of battery."

Gu Zi's answer was very simple and natural: "If there's no electricity, I'll charge it."

Gu Zi asked as he turned on the flashlight once again and stood shoulder to shoulder with Ming Xue Mo against the inner wall. He asked casually, "How did you end up with Lu Feng?"

"I picked him up on the way."

The corner of Gu Zi's lips curled up slightly. He thought that the word 'pick' was very good. It was as if describing his special assistance as a cat or dog could make it clear that Lu Feng wasn't a human and was nothing to worry about.

Mentioning Lu Feng, Ming Xuemei finally remembered the reason why she had followed her to find Gu Zi to ask, and excitedly said, "Oh right, I have something to discuss with you."

Gu Zi looked at her shiny little face and asked eagerly, "What is it? Tell me."

"Didn't we win three hundred thousand last time?" Err … No, this three hundred thousand was no longer related to winning the lottery, "Actually, it's your money. Can we donate it?"

Gouzi wanted to tell her that if he gave it to her, it would be her money, and that she could use it however she wanted. However, he was also a little curious. "Who do you want to donate it to?"

"I want to donate a school." She definitely wouldn't spend that money. Rather than staying by her side as a memento, it would be more meaningful for her. Besides, money in a bank card was just a number. If she turned that money into a school, then everything that happened between her and Big Brother Gu would have a more real witness, and it would also be better left behind.

"This was inspired by Lutte's help," she said. He can do public service in a bar, and I think I should do what I can. "

"Lu Feng brought you to a bar?" Gu Zi asked with raised eyebrows.

Ming Xue Mo nodded.

Gu Ziquan's expression did not change, but in his heart he thought: Lu Feng, you're dead.

"Don't stay with him in the future." His tone didn't sound selfish at all. It was purely for her own good.

Gu Zi asked and also told her that Lu Feng's random public service activities couldn't raise any money at all. It was all because of him and Lan Xiao that they gave a portion of the water from the bar each month to those children. Otherwise, with just that bottle of wine as a donation, they probably wouldn't have enough to buy instant noodles, much less a nutritious meal. She was the only one who was easily influenced by him and had even raised three hundred thousand yuan. This was definitely the largest sum of money that Lu Feng had raised in a single trip since he started this event.

Ming Xue couldn't help but laugh. Gu Zi asked with an angry expression, as if Lu Feng wasn't his special help, but a swindler.

"This bar was opened by Lu Te and Lan Xiaoxiao?" She was surprised. "I thought Lan Xiao was just a bartender."

Gu Zi asked, shaking his head. "Lan Xiaoxiao is the Lady Boss."

"Then who are she and Lu Feng?"

"Partner." In truth, Lu Feng and Lan Xiao had known each other for many years, and their roots were deep. Their relationship wasn't something that could be defined by the word 'friend', but that was their problem.

"Oh? Then why did you say Lan Xiaoxiao is the Lady Boss?" She almost mistook them for a couple.

Gu Zi's answer was harsh. "Men are the boss, while women are the boss. Is there anything wrong with that?"

Ming Xue Mo bitterly looked at him and said, "No, there's nothing wrong with those words."

The moment she said this, Gu Zi's phone automatically shut down due to running out of battery. It was as if he was punishing her for lying. Ming Xue Mo wasn't actually afraid, but this pinching point was too accurate, and she couldn't help but feel a sense of cowardice … If she had to pay the price for every lie she made, what kind of punishment would she receive for lying so much?

Gu Zi, who was standing next to her, felt her shiver. She reached out her hand in the dark and put her arm around her shoulders. "Don't be afraid, I'm by your side."

Mingmei leaned her head against his shoulder and wrapped her arms around his waist, softly saying, "En."

The two of them stood in the dark elevator for a long time. In addition to the time spent chatting previously, it had already been quite a while since they were trapped, but there was still no movement outside. Ming Xue Mo suddenly became worried, "Do you think Ah Lie will be angry and not come to save us?"

Gu Zi asked with a chuckle, "Do you want to hear the truth or a lie?"

"What is the lie?"

"No, you said you pressed the wrong button."

"What about the truth?"

"That's hard to say. Who asked you to specifically pick on Lie Mian to bully him every time?"

"He's so petty …"

It wasn't that he was stingy, nor was it that he didn't want to save them. Rather, when he received the news that the Madam in this area couldn't get through to the Young Master, he called and asked what the Young Master was doing. He reported the matter of the Young Master and Miss Ming being trapped in the elevator to the Madam, and the Madam then asked, "How are the situation with the Young Master and Miss Ming?" He said, "They are discussing the establishment of the school." When she heard this, she added, "This is a big matter. Let them discuss it slowly."

So they had to squat beside the generator and listen in on what was going on in the elevator, and wait until the lady felt that the young master and Miss Ming were finished with their discussion before they could go down and save them.

However, it was impossible for Gu Zi to be at their mercy even if he asked. He had been too busy trying to push up Lu Feng to the point that he hadn't paid much attention to the fact that Ah Lie had been gone for such a long time.

He took Ming Xue Mo's left hand from his waist, gently fiddling with the watch on her wrist. He asked the watch, "Ah Lie, are you going to buy a generator?"

"No, the generator has been useless for too long. It's broken. I'm in the process of repairing it." Ah Lie's voice came out of the watch.

He wanted to turn his watch into Alec's face and slap him twice. Did he think he was a freeloader for the company's mechanic team? It seems like his night school was wasted.

"There's no need to repair it, just open the elevator door with your hand."

"Yes."

The sound of footsteps came from outside, followed by the sound of the elevator door being forcefully pulled. Not long after that, Gu Qishao and Mumei, who were surrounded by darkness, finally saw a glimmer of light.

After the elevator door was forced open, Gu Qishao put his arm around Mumei's shoulder and held the hand he hadn't let go of just now. They walked together to the elevator entrance.

Since the elevator was between the first and second floor, they had to jump. This distance was not high, so Gu Zi asked Ming Xue Mo: "Should we jump down together, or should I jump down first before catching you?"

Ming Xue Mo thought for a moment, then raised her little face and said bravely, "Together."

The corner of Gu Zi's mouth lifted slightly. He clearly knew that Ming Xue Mo's choice was either this or this, but after hearing her say this, he didn't know why he was so happy in his heart.

However, this girl was not like him. He had climbed over a wall and gone to a room, and this height meant nothing to him. She was a princess in a castle, so he had to be careful not to break her.

"I'll go first." Gouzi pressed her shoulder and let go of her hand.

"Oh." Although Ming Xue Mo wanted to face all the dangers with him, she still obediently took half a step back.

With one hand against the elevator door, Gu Ziwen easily jumped down. When he hit the ground, he turned and held out his hand to her.

Ming Xue Mo walked to the door and looked down into his eyes. She felt that even if it was a bottomless abyss below, she would not hesitate to jump down. As long as he was below …

Gu Zi asked, reading her hesitation as fear. He encouraged her, "Don't be afraid, I'll catch you."

Mingxue nodded her head and jumped down.

Gu Zi asked. Naturally, he extended his arms and caught her. Of course, such a well-developed beauty would more or less have some momentum if she jumped down from a height of nearly two meters, so Gu Ziquan instinctively took a step back to stabilize himself.

Mingxue, who had fallen into his arms, naturally wrapped her arms around his neck. Feeling him retreat, a flush appeared on her face. She bashfully thought: Is she too heavy for him to carry?

How embarrassing, and there are so many people watching … Say something, say something …

She buried her face in the crook of his neck and asked in a buzzing voice, "You haven't said yes or no to what I've just said?"

Gu Zi asked as he recalled, and immediately remembered what she was referring to. But this matter … Was he that anxious? She was so anxious that before her feet even touched the ground, she could not wait for him to express his stance?

He knew she must be embarrassed, but he deliberately made her more shy. "If I say no, won't you come down?"
