Because of this, the agent was on high alert, and regardless of a person’s identity, even if it were a child, he had the guards prevent them from getting close to the Ferris wheel!
When Yun Shishi hurried over, she was, likewise, chased away by the guards. Being somewhat muddle-headed, she was incessantly shoved around and warned by them.
As she was being pushed, she looked up and quickly spotted the two children on the edge of the capsule. She might not have perfect vision, but she still easily recognized the children from the color of their clothes. Right away, she identified the one hanging outside the capsule to be Youyou!
“YOUYOU!”
She cried and struggled anew. “Those two up there are my children! They’re in danger! I can’t leave; I can’t leave...”
However, the security guards merely ignored her explanation, for Li Hanlin had specifically instructed them to deny everyone entry!
She pleaded with tears welling up in her eyes. “I don’t know who is giving you orders, but please understand that I am their mom! Please notify the person in charge on my behalf to let me in!”
( Boxno vel. co m ) The two security guards eyed each other; eventually, pity stirred in their hearts. They perceived her to be innocuous, yet they dared not let their guards down, so they sent someone over to file a report.
Li Hanlin came over after a short while, and when he saw her, he greeted her right away. “Madam Yun, you’re here!”
“Mr. Li, why are you here...” she was momentarily stunned, but she could not concern herself with other things. “Youyou is up there. Both my children are up there; what should I do?”
“Don’t panic. I’ve already tasked someone to think of a plan!” he then held up his walkie-talkie. “When exactly are the rescuers coming in?”
“Mr. Li, we are doing our best to think of a way to rescue the kids!” the person over the walkie-talkie replied.
“D*mn it!” he cursed, grinding his teeth.
A worker had just reported to him that the malfunction was not due to the machinery having issues – it was human error.
Human error. This meant that the malfunction was not accidental – it was premeditated!
He sent some of his staff to check the security footage. However, before the Ferris wheel malfunctioned, the wires of the CCTV were cut by someone, so all the security footage in that period were lost.
He could not think of anything else at present and could only wait for reinforcements to arrive.
Although the problem was fixed, the children were still in danger; their safety took priority, so the machinery could not be turned on.
Yun Shishi stood trembling at the bottom of the Ferris wheel as she stared in horror at the capsule that was suspended at the highest point. As it was slanted to one side, the capsule seemed to be on the verge of falling while Youyou’s body hung outside of it. She was clueless on how long he could persist. As the high winds raged around the suspended capsule, her heart clenched, for she was reminded of how weak and frail her son’s body was.
Her hand flew to her mouth in anxiety and tears poured down her face. She wanted to do something, but right now, she was powerless. The only thing she could do was watch on!
Her entire body was flooded with helplessness and dread.
If she could, she would unhesitatingly exchange her life for her children’s safety!
Yichen and Youyou have been stranded in the capsule for more than 10 minutes already.
They were almost drained of their physical strength...
This was especially the case for Yichen; his clothes were entirely soaked in sweat. Nonetheless, with a determined and focused look on his face, his one hand clung on to a safety handle within the capsule and the other held Youyou’s arm firmly.
