Chapter 371: Chapter 366: Elevator Malfunction Chapter 371: Chapter 366: Elevator Malfunction “You said before that you had a crush on a senior,” the next day in the hospital, Shen Yan went straight to the point when she saw Qin Dingyue: “What does he look like?”
“Ah?”
Qin Dingyue didn’t expect Shen Yan to suddenly ask this and was montarily stunned.
Then, her cheeks flushed.
“Yanyan, why are you suddenly asking this? It’s been so many years,” Qin Dingyue said with an embarrassed smile.
“Just curious,” Shen Yan replied.
“He’s just soone from the past, no big deal,” Qin Dingyue’s voice faded.
“Don’t you have a photo?” Shen Yan looked at her: “I thought you would cherish a picture of him.”
“No.”
Seeing the way Qin Dingyue’s eyes flickered, Shen Yan knew Qin Dingyue was lying.
Noticing that Shen Yan didn’t press further, Qin Dingyue asked curiously, “Yanyan, why are you suddenly asking about this? It’s not related to sothing involving my senior, is it? Actually, I was three years behind him…”
Qin Dingyue gave off the impression that she and the senior she crushed on were not close.
Shen Yan said, “I ran into soone yesterday who ntioned your crush, so I got curious.”
On hearing this, Qin Dingyue imdiately sat up straight: “Where did you see him? How did my senior co up in conversation? Could it be my classmate? I didn’t have many close friends in school, and if soone’s trying to blackmail you, don’t believe them.”
“It was just a brief ntion, nothing more,” Shen Yan said, looking at her with so helplessness as Qin Dingyue appeared so anxious.
“In fact, I do have a photo,” Qin Dingyue said and began to search through her phone, then handed her the picture: “Just this one group photo. I shalessly joined in on their graduation day. This one, he’s my senior.”
“…”
Shen Yan looked as if she expected as much.
She glanced at the photo and confird that the person she knew was indeed Qin Dingyue’s old crush.
She didn’t show any emotion.

After a day of shooting on location, Shen Yan lay in bed ssaging Qi Si.
Separated, they could only maintain their relationship this way.
Shen Yan counted her trending searches, then counted the occasions for the “soul sickness”… only to find she couldn’t quite make sense of the numbers.
She had no idea how many remnants of “soul sickness” actually resided within her.
As soon as she cleared the soul sickness, she would consider retiring from showbiz.
She opened Weibo to see the sa trending search.
She wondered whether Vice Dean Shao’s trip abroad was going smoothly or not. Shen Yan could understand the foreign researchers’ viewpoint on their dostic research.
Jealousy is sothing everyone experiences.
It depends on the area.
They were simply green with envy over their dostic achievents and thus wanted to stifle those or even claim them as their own.
Shen Yan scrolled further, reading many comnts, but found nothing related to the base.
She switched to the international internet, still no trace of that place.
“Beep!”
A strange sound suddenly ca from her phone.
Shen Yan imdiately checked her phone, saw the traces of sothing being blocked outside, and raised an eyebrow.
Then she followed those traces, touched the signal source from Country Y, and backed out.
The Pacino Family!
Shen Yan instantly understood who was tracing her—Horiv was as formidable as ever.
Too bad…
The accident that day had been too sudden. If only she had passed safely through the base that day without incident, would she still be alive now, living as the Pacino Family arranged, living only for herself from then on?
But in reality, there were no “ifs.”
Shen Yan felt gratitude for the last operation towards Pacino.
Without his help, things wouldn’t have gone so smoothly.
That attack had proved the base wasn’t as invincible as imagined.
Next ti, they would make more thorough preparations!
Shen Yan clutched her phone, her eyes narrowing slightly.
Shen Yan laid her head on the pillow, reclining on the soft cushion, staring at the pitch-black ceiling, her eyes shining impressively.
When she thought she had transmigrated into a book, she wanted to live quietly for the rest of her life, but after discovering she was still in her original world, she couldn’t wait to execute her long-standing plans.
She had beco soone else, with new ties, and many things beca difficult to handle.
Moreover, her abilities hadn’t fully returned to their peak, and this was yet another impedint.
Shen Yan sighed.
Just wait a little longer.
If not one year, then two.
It wouldn’t be more than five years; she didn’t want to drag things out for too long.
Shen Yan didn’t fall asleep until the early morning.

“Bang, bang, bang!”
Shen Yan jolted upright in bed.
“Yanyan, are you awake?”
Hearing Xiao Zhao’s urgent voice, Shen Yan imdiately ran to open the door.
“Yanyan, the building across from us is on fire!” Xiao Zhao grabbed Shen Yan, ready to run.
“Hold on,” Shen Yan turned back to quickly pack her luggage and dragged it out to Xiao Zhao’s room, as the outside situation seed chaotic.
Since it was diagonally opposite but closer to another side, Shen Yan hadn’t noticed it in the morning.
Shen Yan followed everyone into the elevator and happened to see Li Yanbai and the others, listening as they spoke about a young couple across the street who had argued about their child in the morning and forgotten to turn off the stove, causing the fire.
As they were talking, the sound of firefighters ca from outside.
Shen Yan felt sothing was odd.
“Huh? Why isn’t it moving?”
“The elevator’s malfunctioned! Press the button!”
“Ah!”
The elevator stopped at the eighth floor before plumting abruptly.
Everyone squatted down, clutching their heads.
The screams of those who couldn’t take it added to the tension.
“Bang!”
A huge noise reverberated, and everyone was flung upwards, slamming into the steel walls, the sll of blood suddenly in the air.
Shen Yan grabbed onto Xiao Zhao, stabilizing them, her expression sowhat cold.
Another accident?
“Sobody’s hurt…”
“My ear is bleeding!”
“How is everyone, my organs feel like they’ve been shaken out.”
“We fell from the eighth floor. Where are we now?”
“The first floor,” ca Shen Yan’s voice.
She took out her phone to find there was no signal at all.
Everyone leaned weakly in the cramped space, realizing that breathing was becoming difficult.
A shaken Xiao Zhao weakly asked, “Do you sll sothing strange?”
“It, it slls like… smoke?” soone said with a trembling voice.
“No way…”
“Ah! The floor beneath is really hot!”
Shen Yan’s expression changed abruptly.
“Snap!”
The lights in the elevator went out, and in the panic, no one thought to turn on their phone flashlights, only crying out in fear and trembling.
“What do we do, what do we do, are we going to die here?”
“Why am I so unlucky, why did I have to take this elevator. Soone’s not going to make it…”
“Cough, cough!”
Smoke began billowing from underneath the elevator.
It seed sothing below had caught fire.
Shen Yan stared at the elevator stuck on the basent floor, squinting her eyes.
“Crack, crack…”
“What’s that noise?”
Then everyone saw Shen Yan forcibly prying open the elevator doors with her bare hands, stunned speechless!
Xiao Zhao scrambled up: “What are you standing there for, help her!”
Despite their injuries, everyone hurriedly crawled over to help with the door.
But no matter how hard they tried, it wouldn’t budge!
When Shen Yan took over, the elevator doors twisted and turned with a “crack, crack,” her strength alarmingly imnse!
