"What the hell..."
The security guard was startled by the wall too. He quickly took out his radio. "Lao Zhang, can you hear me? Elevator One has malfunctioned. It's stopped between floors, and a young lady and I are trapped inside."
As he spoke, he reached out and pressed against the brick wall.
Just then, the elevator doors slammed shut!
The guard reacted fairly quickly. He shuddered and immediately pulled his hand back.
Bang!
The instant he withdrew his hand, the two elevator doors crashed together.
"Fuck... that would've crushed my hand clean off..."
The guard was still shaken.
"Hello..." Just then, a man's voice came over the radio. "Which floor are you trapped on..."
Perhaps the distance was too great. The voice over the radio was muffled and accompanied by noisy static that was unpleasant to listen to.
The guard was just about to answer when Qiao Ziruo's expression changed. She slapped the radio out of his hand and onto the floor, then stomped hard on it!
The guard hadn't expected the woman behind him to suddenly lash out. He instinctively drew his baton and turned to face Qiao Ziruo warily. "Hey! What are you doing?"
Qiao Ziruo said nothing. Pale-faced, she stomped the radio to pieces until it could no longer make a sound.
The guard's expression darkened. "Stop! Or I'll use force!"
Qiao Ziruo stopped stomping on the radio. Panting, she shook her head slightly. "He... wasn't your coworker!"
"What are you talking about? Are you crazy?!" The guard held up his baton and glared furiously at Qiao Ziruo.
This woman had suddenly smashed his radio underfoot. Was she really a lunatic?
Qiao Ziruo trembled all over, but she still spoke fairly coherently. "When you were using the radio... I saw its indicator light in your hand.
