To the Gu Rou who had fallen into a panic, the cold and hard feeling was like she had caught a lifesaving log in a vast ocean. His small, fair hands immediately pushed at her belt tightly, pulling with all their might.

"Let me out, old witch. You can't do this to me. You'll die a horrible death." Gu Rou continued to struggle with all her strength, as she muttered angry and grief curses.

Fearing that the mysterious little girl would make him cut off his own children when he thought of it, Ji Chen Xi quickly pulled her hand away, put it in front of his chest, and let her grab it.

"Young Master Ji!" Shen Yue's voice sounded, full of concern and anxiety.

Ji Chen Xi's other bodyguard, Jian Hao, was also present, similarly to Shen Yue, who was shocked by the scene before him.

Ji Chen Xi was as calm as usual, and as he walked out of the elevator, he instructed Shen Yue to call for a doctor, and then headed back to his office.

It was the doctor who had treated Gu Rou that day. After giving Gu Rou a check-up, she reported on the situation, "According to preliminary estimations, she should be suffering from deep-sea phobia."

"Deep-sea phobia?"

"In our society, there is a small group of people who went through terrible things as children, such as being locked up in a dark, narrow, stupefied space for a long time, and developed a kind of anxiety, fear, and hatred, eager to escape from that place, and then, even if they are saved, the experience has left a shadow in her mind, so that when they encounter a similar space again, the symptoms naturally manifest themselves."

"Doctor He, you mean to say, when Gu Rou was young, he was imprisoned in a dark room with no lights?" Shen Yue immediately asked.

The doctor nodded. "It should be. I gave her a sedative and after a while she'll be okay. "

After finishing his orders, the doctor left.

Shen Yue and Jian Hao were standing behind him. Shao Qing, Jian Hao reported, "There was an accident at the elevator maintenance company's worker's house, which resulted in them not arriving until over ten minutes later. Both elevators have been repaired."

"Are you sure it's not man-made?" Ji Chen Xi asked indifferently.

"Yes, it's just that the normal operation of the machine is broken."

"Alright, you guys go back to your work."

Jian Hao nodded, his sharp and complicated eyes glanced at Gu Rou who was on the bed, and silently left.

Soon after, Shen Yue also left.

Ji Chen Xi's handsome face still had that unfathomable expression, looking at Gu Rou's beautiful face which looked even purer than before due to his sleep, thinking back to all the accidents that had happened recently, his usually clear and calm heart couldn't help but to have some sort of special change, and after a while, she dialed Mu Yun Fan's number.
