With a loud bang and a violent shake, Luo Xiyun screamed, lost her balance, and fell to the ground, scattering the documents she held everywhere.
The elevator lights went out, plunging her into pitch blackness. She stood up with the help of the wall and frantically opened her handbag to search for her phone, then suddenly remembered that her phone had switched off automatically due to a dead battery.
The darkness brought a wave of panic over her.
"Are you okay?"
At that moment, a beam of light suddenly flashed from ahead, blinding her, and she instinctively blocked it with her hand.
"Sorry about that."
The light quickly moved away, and that's when she remembered there was someone else in the elevator. The steady sound of Chen Xu's voice somewhat calmed her down.
She looked up and saw the light from Chen Xu's phone illuminating the floor. In the cramped elevator, the light scattered, chasing away the darkness.
