Chapter 1129 My brothers' ambition can conquer the world
Pressing the elevator button ten times was easy; he got it done quickly. Then came the long wait inside the elevator.
Yes, it was a long time. Logically speaking, an hour is not a long time, but an hour in an elevator feels exceptionally long.
He tried his best to distract himself by looking at his phone and scrolling through short videos, but time just seemed to drag on.
For the first ten minutes, he was alright, but after twenty minutes, the long up-and-down motion in the elevator made him feel like the elevator might have an accident at any moment.
The reason was that while he was scrolling through short videos, he happened to come across a commentary on a horror movie about elevator horror.
As we all know, elevators, basements, haunted houses, old houses, dilapidated temples in the mountains, hospital morgues, and girls' dormitory bathrooms are all places with a very strong sense of horror, especially at night.
Moreover, people have a characteristic: the more afraid they are, the more their eyes want to look. This led him to watch the entire explanation of this horror movie about elevators.
Then he became even more panicked, feeling that the elevator was about to plummet rapidly or that someone else would suddenly appear inside.
The hotel elevator was quite luxurious, with a large mirror at the very back. I didn't notice anything unusual when I first came in, but now it's a bit creepy.
He feels most at ease when someone gets on the elevator, and he pretends nothing's wrong.
However, during this time, the elevator does not come in very often, so he is alone in the elevator most of the time.
Perhaps it was because he had no experience of spending long periods of time in elevators, or perhaps it was because of the movie commentary that he felt increasingly like each day was an eternity.
"Hey Chuanzi, are you guys back yet?"
Finally, he couldn't help but start making phone calls. It wasn't that he wanted Chuanmei and the others to come back, but he just wanted to have someone to talk to so he could feel better.
"Almost there, they're already heading back. What's wrong?" Chuanmei's voice came through the phone.
Lin Mo: "Ah, it's nothing, I just called to check on you. Come back soon, don't stay out too late."
"I know, I know, why are you acting like a mother hen!" the Sichuan girl said impatiently.
Lin Mo had no choice but to say a few words and then hang up the phone.
Time ticked by, and finally, fifty minutes had passed. Ten more minutes until it was finished.
Lin Mo stopped the elevator on the first floor, occasionally opening the elevator door to peek outside, without affecting the use of the elevator by the users upstairs.
Just then, the elevator door opened on the first floor, and two girls walked in hurriedly, their faces still showing lingering fear. But Lin Mo felt much more at ease.
After entering, one of the girls quickly pressed the elevator close button. As the elevator door slowly closed, at the last moment, a hand suddenly rushed in and pressed on the elevator door.
The elevator doors slowly opened, and four burly men entered, one of whom was naked.
The four men were in their thirties; two were very muscular, and the other two had beer bellies.
As soon as the four entered, Lin Mo subconsciously frowned. There was no way around it; the strong smell of alcohol and cigarettes hitting him clearly indicated that they had just finished drinking.
He didn't want to cause trouble, after all, this person was staying at his inn and could be considered his guest, and harmony brings wealth, right?
But the next second, the shirtless man suddenly said to the two girls with a displeased look, "Is this necessary? We're all out having fun, why do you have to make things difficult?"
“I’m willing, is that not allowed? I’ve already said I’m not going, can’t you understand human language?” one of the tall women retorted, her tone equally unfriendly.
Upon hearing this, Lin Mo immediately lost his temper and stopped talking. The two of them clearly knew each other. What business was it of his, an outsider, of their conflict? However, the fact that someone was talking in the elevator made him less anxious. He then shrank into a corner, ready to watch the show. Even if he couldn't see the whole thing, it wouldn't matter; he could just use it to pass the time.
As the elevator doors closed and the elevator slowly ascended, the woman had barely finished speaking when, in the next second, the man reached out and slapped her across the face. His facial muscles trembled as he angrily cursed, "Damn it, you don't know what's good for you! Who do you think you are!"
The woman screamed and squatted on the ground. Lin Mo frowned, wondering whether he should intervene, but he was never one to meddle in other people's business, especially when the other party was someone he knew. Who knew what might be going on that he didn't know about?
"You dare hit me?" the woman screamed, then got up and, together with another woman, scratched at the man's face.
But the next second, something unexpected happened to Lin Mo. Two other boys stepped forward and shoved the two girls, even shoving them and grabbing their hair.
"Help! Help!!"
"Hit someone!"
At this moment, Lin Mo immediately took action. It wasn't that he wanted to meddle in this matter, but rather that the situation had gone beyond the scope of ordinary family matters. Moreover, he was the hotel owner; this was his property. If a guest had an accident while he was there, it would be cutting off his source of income.
Moreover, it's simply wrong for four drunk men to beat up two girls.
"Hey! Let's talk this out, isn't this going too far by resorting to violence!"
Lin Mo pushed the man aside and stood in the middle, speaking in a deep voice.
"Damn it, who the hell are you? What do you want? Get out of here, you hear me?" The shirtless, drunk man pointed at Lin Mo's nose and cursed.
"I'm the owner of this hotel. If you have something to say, say it. Don't resort to violence!" Lin Mo revealed his identity directly.
But the next second, the other three men came up and shoved him.
"Damn it, I'm the chairman of the board! What business is it of yours what I do with them?!" "That's right, we're friends. You pretty boy, why are you meddling? You're asking for it!"
He pushed and shoved while throwing punches, which Lin Mo blocked, but it was clear that his rogue tendencies had come to the fore.
Just then, the woman who had been hit shouted, "I don't know them. We met them when we left the hotel today. They wanted us to go to a bar for drinks, but we refused and ran back!"
"Damn it, you think you can just say you don't know me? I even treated you to dinner, what am I supposed to eat if I don't know you!" Another man raised his foot to kick, but Lin Mo punched him in the thigh, thwarting his attempt.
“I don’t know them! That makes things easier. You two call the police and say there’s trouble here!” Lin Mo said.
He would still have reservations if the two parties knew each other, or were even boyfriend and girlfriend or husband and wife, because if something went wrong, the other party might turn around and accuse him.
But if he doesn't know her, that's another matter. Besides, he's not afraid that the girl is lying, as there are security cameras in the hotel elevator.
"Go to hell!" Seeing that Lin Mo still dared to fight back, the shirtless man immediately tried to retaliate. In an instant, four men rushed up and attacked at the same time.
But Lin Mo was not flustered at all. He had basic combat skills and was not afraid of fighting. It was just that the elevator was cramped and he couldn't move around much.
But at that moment, a warm current flowed through his body, and then he felt absolute control over the elevator space.
With a 'ding' sound.
When the elevator reached the fourth floor, Lin Mo forced the four people back with two punches and a knee strike, and then pushed the two girls out as the elevator doors opened.
"Remember to call the police!"
After saying that, he stood in front of the elevator, pressed the close button, and then pressed the first floor button as well.
As the elevator doors closed, the two girls glimpsed four men flying backward through the gap. Accompanied by the men's screams and the sounds of impact inside the elevator, the elevator slowly descended.
Meanwhile, at the hotel entrance, Miss Yuan and her entourage returned laden with various snacks: candied hawthorns, roujiamo (Chinese hamburger), bobo chicken, roasted chestnuts, roasted gluten, roasted yam, takoyaki (octopus balls), and many more.
Miss Yuan was happily eating candied hawthorns in one hand and braised pig's trotters in the other, seemingly enjoying the combination of the two. It's a mystery how she managed to stomach the taste of them together.
"Hurry up, hurry up! We can't even enjoy ourselves properly when we're out having fun. Mo Zai and Liu Ruyan are such cowards. They ran off first and now they're urging us on."
"I suspect those two went back to the hotel and did something bad. I'll make them eat my braised pig's trotter later!" Miss Yuan cursed, clearly unhappy.
Upon hearing this, the Sichuan girl smiled awkwardly: "Hey, Lao Mo was just asking casually, and besides, we weren't planning on coming back anyway?"
“That’s different. We want to come back, that’s our own choice. But if he’s urging us, that’s wrong of him. If he pushes me too far, I’ll buy some pig-inducing drugs tomorrow and mix them with their rice!” Miss Yuan took a bite of braised pig’s trotter and casually wiped her mouth with her hand.
Hearing this, the group explained with helpless expressions that they were tired after playing all day, while only Miss Yuan was still full of energy. Besides, it was already 11 o'clock, and the night market was almost deserted. Why wouldn't they come back?
As the group entered the hotel, they heard several muffled sounds, but they were not loud and sounded somewhat like vibrations.
Before the group could react, the elevator doors opened, and the next second, a figure flew out from the ground and slid across the floor.
Immediately following were screams. Miss Yuan and the others looked closely and saw a figure in the elevator throwing a punch. The punch was so fast that it left afterimages. All that could be heard were screams and the sounds of blows.
"Holy crap, it's Old Mo!"
Suddenly, the Sichuan girl screamed and turned around to see that Miss Yuan, who had been standing still, had rushed forward, with a candied hawthorn in her left hand and a braised pig's trotter in her right.
"Don't be afraid, Mo-zai, I'm here to help you! Leo's Flying Kick!"
Lin Mo was throwing punches with great enthusiasm. It has to be said that this guy was really tough. All that fat on his body wasn't for nothing. He punched from upstairs to downstairs. Although he had restrained his strength, after all, being an elevator god and a master of hand-to-hand combat allowed him to easily take down several people. But what's the point of knocking them out? They have to feel the pain!
Just then, a petite figure rushed over and kicked a man who was cowering in a corner, covering his head in defense, clearly terrified of being beaten.
"Hey, don't stop, Mo-zai! I just want to get an assist!"
As she spoke, she smeared candied hawthorns and braised pig's feet all over the other person. It must be said that Miss Yuan was quite a kind person; while hitting someone, she also treated them to food.
With three dull thuds as objects hit the ground, Lin Mo threw three figures out of the elevator.
Even inside the elevator, he wouldn't have that much strength. Keep in mind, the lightest of these four men probably weighs 170 or 180 pounds.
Then Lin Mo and Miss Yuan came out, and instantly he felt that he no longer had that sense of complete control over his surroundings.
Meanwhile, Wang Chu and Chuan Mei held down the first man who was sliding close to the ground.
"What's going on, Lao Mo? What are you doing?" Chuan Mei asked.
He assumed that Lin Mo had a verbal altercation with the four men, which escalated into a physical fight. As a brother, despite his unreliability, he and Director Wang would act without hesitation if Lin Mo gave the order.
At this moment, in the lobby on the first floor, four men were lying on the ground, occasionally letting out cries of pain. They were all bleeding from their noses, clearly stunned by the beating, but also sobered up by it.
Just then, Miss Yuan strode out with her hands on her hips and laughed loudly, "Hahaha, my brother and I are determined to conquer the world! Hey, you fatso, stop pretending to be dead, see how awesome I am!"
As she spoke, she kicked the shirtless man lying on the ground.
Everyone:
