Chapter 375 Ode to Joy 19

Facing Andy's indifference, Qu Xiaoxiao not only did not restrain herself, but became even more aggressive. She crossed her arms, raised her chin, and said sarcastically: "Oh, look at you, you are so righteous! It's a pity that there is no such thing as an impenetrable wall. Do you really think that if someone hides you here, others will not know your true identity?"

Andy still stood there expressionlessly, as if he was unaware of what was happening around him. Seeing this, Qu Xiaoxiao said directly, "You must know Tan Zongming, right?"

Andy turned around without any reaction, a look of surprise appeared on his face, and asked, "How do you know Lao Tan?"

Qu Xiaoxiao's mouth corners slightly raised, revealing a mocking smile. She folded her hands in front of her chest and said in an extremely contemptuous tone: "Huh! What do you think? This lady is the omniscient Qu Xiaoxiao! I hate those mistresses and other women the most in my life. I thought that some people dared to do it but not to take responsibility for it, and did not have the courage to admit what they did. When I called the police the day before yesterday, some people were still talking in a very logical and convincing manner, pretending to be a superior social elite. In the end, they were still exposed in public. If it were me, I would definitely feel guilty in this situation, not to mention that I would have the confidence to argue..."

As Qu Xiaoxiao was talking nonstop, the elevator suddenly shook violently without warning. Everyone was startled, and Luo Yining subconsciously reached out and grabbed the railing behind her. With a sharp friction sound, the elevator finally stopped slowly, and the number on the display was fixed on the 16th floor.

Luo Yining's heart was pounding, and a thin layer of sweat appeared on her forehead. When the elevator came to a complete stop, she took a deep breath and tried to stay calm. With many years of life experience, her first reaction was that the elevator might have a problem.

Then, Fan Shengmei walked quickly to the front and reached out to press the emergency call button. With a short prompt sound, the call was quickly connected. Fan Shengmei took a deep breath and said quickly: "Hello, is this the property management? I am Fan Shengmei from 2202. My two good sisters and I are trapped in the elevator. There are three other owners on the 22nd floor, namely Qu Xiaoxiao, Luo Yining, and oh, by the way, there is also the lady who lives in 2201, whose name is..." After saying these words, Fan Shengmei couldn't help but turn her head to look at Andy. She didn't know her name.

Seeing this, Andy quickly responded, "Andy." After getting confirmation, Fan Shengmei hurriedly repeated into the intercom, "Yes, Andy is here too. Please send someone over quickly!"

At this time, a calm voice of a property staff came from the other end of the intercom: "Okay, please don't panic, stay calm, we will immediately contact the workers to repair the elevator and rush over as soon as possible. Please wait patiently for a while." Hearing this, Fan Shengmei's mood calmed down a little, but she still couldn't help urging: "Then hurry up! We are all trapped in here!"

While everyone was anxiously waiting, the usually lively Qu Xiaoxiao was now helpless, muttering, "Oh, how unlucky! How come we have to encounter such a thing?"

Luo Yining on the side seemed relatively calm. She quickly took a few steps forward and pressed all the buttons for the floors in the elevator without hesitation. Seeing this, Qu Xiaoxiao couldn't help but ask curiously, "Hey, what are you doing?" If it weren't for Luo Yining's powerful family background and noble status, with Qu Xiaoxiao's usual personality, she would have ridiculed her without hesitation.

"If the elevator breaks down and falls sharply, it's not completely hopeless. Maybe it can stop by its own recovery braking function! In this way, we have 16 chances of being rescued." Luo Yining stood there quietly without saying much. Andy recalled that she had just heard Luo Yining speak for her, and she couldn't help but feel grateful, so she took the initiative to speak.

"So that's how it is. But we'd better stay here and wait for the property staff to come and rescue us. We must not let the elevator fall suddenly." Qiu Yingying said.

Qu Xiaoxiao, who originally wanted to express some opinions, stopped talking after hearing what everyone said.

At this time, Luo Yining, who had been silent all the time, looked at Andy and gave a faint smile, expressing friendliness and comfort.

Just when the atmosphere was getting a little tense, Guan Juer broke the silence and said softly, "I bought some food when I went out shopping just now. How about we eat something delicious together? It will also help relieve the tension."

Everyone agreed, so Guan Juer took out various snacks from her bag and shared them with everyone. While waiting for rescue, although they were still frightened, even though more dangerous situations occurred later, they calmed down and everyone was safe in the end. After experiencing this elevator scare, the relationship between several people seemed to have been eased to a certain extent, and the distance between them was shortened a lot.

Luo Yining dragged her somewhat tired body back home slowly. When she pushed open the door, she was really shocked. However, at this moment, she had calmed down from the previous shock and her mood gradually returned to calm, so she didn't care too much about that matter.

After a short rest, Luo Yining went into the kitchen and began to prepare dinner. After a while, a variety of delicious dishes were placed on the table. Afterwards, she simply washed up and walked briskly upstairs.

Coming to the study room on the second floor, Luo Yining sat at the desk, took out a notebook and a pen, and began to carefully sort out the various cases she had seen in the past few days. Sometimes she frowned and fell into deep thought; sometimes she wrote quickly, recording key clues and details. Unconsciously, several hours passed, and the sun outside the window gradually set.

Finally, all the cases were sorted out. Luo Yining breathed a sigh of relief and stretched her body. She looked up at the clock on the wall and found that it was already afternoon. At this moment, a strange feeling came to her heart. Luo Yining always felt that something important seemed to be forgotten. She pondered and her eyes wandered around, and finally fixed on the mobile phone on the table. In an instant, she suddenly realized that she forgot to call her boyfriend! What's worse is that she originally planned to go out on a date with her boyfriend today, but looking at the time now, it is obviously too late.

Despite this, Luo Yining quickly picked up the phone and dialed Ji Weizhi's number. After a few waiting tones, Ji Weizhi's familiar voice came from the other end of the phone: "Are you home?"

Hearing her boyfriend's question, Luo Yining replied with a little guilt: "I'm at home, what's wrong with you?"

Then, Ji Weizhi said in a relaxed tone: "Okay, then open the door."

Luo Yining suddenly felt an indescribable joy in her heart, but this feeling came so suddenly that she was a little unsure. However, the joy was like an invisible force driving her, and she couldn't wait to walk down the stairs and hurriedly opened the door.

Sure enough, it was Ji Weizhi who was standing outside the door! Luo Yining's eyes instantly lit up with surprise, and without hesitation, she opened her arms and hugged Ji Weizhi tightly, with a brilliant smile on her beautiful face.

"Weizhi, why are you here?" Luo Yining asked happily, with uncontrollable excitement in her voice. After that, she pulled Ji Weizhi into the house and gently closed the door.

"I miss you." Ji Weizhi looked at Luo Yining and answered softly.

Hearing this, Luo Yining's heart was as sweet as honey, and she smiled even brighter: "I'm also super happy to see you, unknown!"

Time passed quietly, and before they knew it, they had stayed here until nightfall. At night, Ji Weizhi offered to cook for Luo Yining himself. Luo Yining readily agreed and stood by to help him obediently.

When the delicious dishes were served, Luo Yining couldn't help but widen her eyes, her face full of surprise and admiration. Not only were the dishes attractive in color and aroma, but they also tasted great.

"Wow, I didn't expect you to have such great cooking skills!" Luo Yining couldn't help but exclaim in admiration for Ji Weizhi.

Ji Weizhi smiled slightly and explained: "I learned all these by myself in the army. I would occasionally make some delicious food for myself to satisfy my cravings."

After finishing the meal, Ji Weizhi cleaned the table quickly and put the dishes neatly in place. Then, the two of them walked up the stairs together and slowly came to the study on the second floor. After entering the study, Luo Yining walked lightly to the sofa, sat down gracefully, and leaned gently on Ji Weizhi. She held a book with a faint scent of ink in her hands, her eyes focused and gentle, as if immersed in the world described in the book, quietly enjoying this warm time with Ji Weizhi.

Unconsciously, the night fell quietly. Luo Yining thoughtfully tidied up the room for Ji Weizhi and arranged for him to stay in the guest room. Not only that, Luo Yining had already prepared all the necessary items such as toiletries to ensure that Ji Weizhi could feel the comfort and convenience of home. After everything was arranged, the night was getting late and everything was silent.

The next morning, when the first ray of sunlight shone through the curtains into the house, Luo Yining woke up slowly. However, Ji Weizhi had already disappeared. It turned out that due to the urgent training task and strict time limit, Ji Weizhi had to leave early. However, he was considerate and left a neatly written letter on the dining table, as well as delicious dishes that he had carefully cooked and kept warm for Luo Yining.

Luo Yining came downstairs sleepily. When she saw the letter on the table, the corners of her mouth could not help but rise slightly, revealing a sweet smile. After reading the letter, she happily changed into her sports equipment and went out for a morning run along the familiar street. The fresh air and the rising sun made her feel particularly comfortable. After returning home from the morning run, Luo Yining simply washed up and sat at the dining table to enjoy the breakfast prepared for her by Ji Weizhi. After packing up, she went to work in high spirits.

This day was full of challenges but also fruitful for Luo Yining. During an operation to capture a criminal, the cunning criminals took advantage of Luo Yining's seemingly weak appearance and tried to break through her defense to escape. But they never expected that the seemingly delicate Luo Yining was agile and responsive. She evaded the attack flexibly, then raised her leg suddenly and pushed hard, instantly subduing the suspect to the ground, which impressed everyone present.

Afterwards, Luo Yining began to interrogate this person in detail. Every word she said seemed to be well thought out and contained deep meaning, like a carefully polished sword, piercing the most vulnerable part of the suspect's heart.

As the interrogation progressed, Luo Yining skillfully guided the topic, seemingly casually throwing out questions, which were actually traps she had carefully laid. The suspect was completely unaware and fell into them step by step, eventually revealing his flaws.

Luo Yining, who had been concentrating on observing the other party's reaction, keenly caught this detail and was secretly delighted. She continued to ask questions calmly and finally succeeded in breaking through the suspect's psychological defenses, forcing him to tell the whole truth.

At this point, the entire criminal investigation detachment cast admiring eyes on Luo Yining. Especially the team leader Lu Chuan, who initially thought that Luo Yining was just a relative who came to gild himself, but now everything that happened before his eyes completely overturned his view. He realized that he was wrong. It turned out that Luo Yining was such a hidden person with real talent and knowledge.

Since Lu Chuan always values ​​capable people, when he changed his opinion of Luo Yining, he began to consider entrusting some important matters and difficult tasks to her.

When Luo Yining returned to the office after the interrogation, she found several important case files on the table. She knew that these were the leaders' recognition and trust in her ability, and also meant that her outstanding performance had successfully established a firm foothold in the team. Facing new challenges, Luo Yining was full of confidence and ready to face more tests.

Luo Yining also knew that from now on, she would have more things to deal with, but she was confident that she could handle it.

I got home a little later than usual at night because I had to record and question the suspect today and organize it. Therefore, I left a little late at night. This is also because Luo Yining is quite fast, otherwise I would have to stay up late to finish it.
