The elevator was pitch black, with no odd sounds or movents, which would suggest a power outage.
Normally, elevators do not plumt when they suddenly stop.
In the event of a power failure or electrical supply malfunction during operation, elevators automatically halt, posing no danger.
That’s because the elevator is equipped with electrical and chanical safety devices that automatically brake in the event of a power outage, preventing the elevator from operating.
Shen Cheng leaned against the elevator wall and pondered for a mont before realizing a critical issue.
Generally speaking, if the power departnt plans an outage, it will notify related units in advance to make the necessary preparations and stop the elevator before the outage occurs.
Thus, the possibility of an elevator halting due to a sudden power outage while in use is virtually zero.
This ans it was intentional.
Shen Cheng groped in the dark for her mobile phone, unlocked the screen, and turned on the flashlight.
White light filled the cramped elevator, and because of the small space, it instantly beca as bright as day.
Shen Cheng raised an eyebrow, remaining calm as she pressed the "alarm button" next to the elevator door.
The alarm button connects to the elevator managent departnt. Once soone presses this button, the departnt can promptly identify the faulty elevator and access its surveillance footage from the control room.
In the surveillance room.
Shi Yu lounged on the sofa, legs crossed, with a cigar tucked between his fingers.
The cigar was half-smoked as he lifted it to his lips and took a deep draw.
Resting his hand on the armrest of the sofa, his well-defined fingers gently flicked the ash.
He exuded a natural elegance and nonchalance, radiating a superior air that was ostentatious and imperious.
He was like a sovereign who could control the world and people, exuding dominance and solitude.
"Mr. Shi, everything has been prepared according to your instructions. The elevator managent is ready and can restore the elevator to normal operation at any ti. There will be no mistakes," reported a staff mber.
While informing Shi Yu of the situation, the staff mber kept a keen eye on the surveillance footage, as though worried that soone in the elevator might make an irrational move.
Shi Yu arrived ten minutes earlier, entering through the VIP access and keeping a low profile, hence going unnoticed.
Before Shen Cheng entered the elevator, he had soone tamper with it, instructing the managent to stop the lift at the fifth floor.
The fifth floor is the Docunt Departnt, housing important docunts. To prevent the possibility of paper combustion due to strong light, special light and heat insulation were used in construction.
Therefore, this floor is very dark. Even during the day, lights are needed, or one cannot even see the way clearly.
Few employees usually enter the Docunt Departnt since docunts are typically retrieved by designated personnel, rather than allowing all employees access.
There are two reasons why Shi Yu had Shen Cheng’s elevator stopped at the Docunt Departnt on the fifth floor.
One, few people.
Two, a dim environnt.
Shi Yu humd affirmatively and extinguished his cigar in an ashtray specially prepared by the staff mber.
He then took out his phone to make a call, Leng Chen spoke up: "Not yet ready?"
Whatever the other party said seed to ease his normally brooding gaze sowhat.
He "hmm"ed in response, hung up the phone, and stood up. As he left the surveillance room, he instructed the staff, "Restore the elevator operation."
