The elevator stopped with a "ding" on the first floor.
"I'll go down with Akemi to the guard room to open the door."
Lin Yi kept holding the elevator button and turned his head toward Wakamatsu: "You wait at the entrance."
Wakamatsu nodded and, after leaving the elevator, asked Lin Yi: "Why don't we all go together?"
"Because you're a nuisance." Lin Yi said while pressing the elevator button.
"What if I don't go?"
Akemi seemed to realize Lin Yi's not-so-pure intentions and tried to leave the elevator.
But Lin Yi pulled her back with one arm and said casually, "That can't be... I don't know how to operate the guard panel."
"Then I can go alone, you don't need to come."
"I have to protect you."
"I don't need your protection, I'm very strong."
"Really? It doesn't seem like it to me..."
When the elevator doors closed, both fell silent.
A man's intentions are easy to guess; for example, Akemi immediately figured out what Lin Yi wanted to do.
She warned in advance: "If you have something to say, wait until we're out... don't do anything foolish here."
Lin Yi nodded and raised three fingers: "I swear."
Just as Lin Yi was thinking of using a favorable event card with Akemi, he suddenly stopped.
He thought it wouldn't be a good idea to use it inside the elevator.
Because playing in the elevator didn't make much sense.
Also, being trapped in the elevator wasn't a very pleasant thing.
Though one could climb up to the top of the elevator to the roof, that also required a lot of effort.
So Lin Yi decided not to use it for the time being.
The elevator stopped, and both arrived without issues at the guard room.
Akemi tried to enter, but Lin Yi stopped her.
"Let me go in first to see how things are."
Lin Yi was worried that a scene similar to a movie might play out, where the thieves had untied the ropes, or something like that.
After entering and doing a quick headcount, Lin Yi confirmed that everyone was there, then gestured for Akemi to enter.
Akemi smiled disdainfully: "You're so scared."
Lin Yi didn't rush to argue with Akemi; he was thinking about when to use the favorable event card.
Akemi went to the control panel and remotely opened the exit where Wakamatsu was.
"Let's go."
Akemi called Lin Yi to leave. The two returned to the elevator and pressed the button for the first floor.
This made Akemi feel a bit strange.
During this time, Akemi had come to understand Lin Yi's personality; barring surprises, he wouldn't do things without meaning.
In other words, his actions always had a purpose.
But now that they were going back to the first floor, he still hadn't done anything, which didn't align with his character.
Akemi was thinking about this when they heard a "ding," and the elevator doors opened.
Lin Yi still did nothing, so Akemi decided not to dwell on it and exited the elevator first.
"Let's go."
"Yes."
Lin Yi nodded, and as soon as they stepped out of the elevator, he used the favorable experience card with Akemi.
He was a little expectant about what might happen next.
They both quickly headed toward the exit.
There was no sign of Wakamatsu at the entrance; when the two reached the door, they saw him at the alley entrance, signaling for them to hurry.
Just as Akemi and Lin Yi looked ahead, a patrol car appeared around the corner, perfectly timed as they were stepping off the curb.
"Such bad luck?"
Akemi immediately realized they had been discovered.
The shop door was open, and both were carrying large backpacks, which was suspicious.
"Run."
Akemi quickly judged they wouldn't reach the alley across the street before the patrol arrived.
Without hesitation, Akemi turned around and ran back into the shop.
"Does it have such a strong effect?"
Lin Yi murmured as he followed Akemi back into the shop.
Akemi pressed a button, and the security door lowered again.
"Follow me..."
Akemi gestured for Lin Yi to follow.
Curious, Lin Yi followed. He hadn't expected Akemi to have another escape route.
As they walked, Lin Yi realized their destination was the bathroom.
"Is there another exit in the bathroom?"
Lin Yi couldn't help but ask.
"Yes."
Akemi nodded and, after taking off her backpack, took out a flashlight and said, "But I don't know if we'll be able to get out."
She turned on the flashlight, illuminating the ceiling: "However, most of the vents are connected; we should be able to get out."
Lin Yi looked at the vent in the ceiling, deep in thought.
Akemi entered a stall, stood on the toilet lid, and lifted the vent cover, then put her backpack inside.
Lin Yi then realized that the backpacks were just the right size to fit into the ventilation duct.
And all the backpacks had been prepared by Akemi.
He couldn't help but admire her attention to detail.
She crouched down and said to Lin Yi: "Give me your backpack."
"Okay."
Lin Yi handed his backpack to Akemi, who also put it in the vent.
After placing the backpack inside, Akemi gestured to Lin Yi: "Help me... lift me up."
"Alright."
Lin Yi approached, but instead of simply lifting her, he grabbed her by the legs and lifted her up.
This made it easier for Akemi to get into the vent.
Akemi pushed the backpacks inside to make space, then slid into the vent with fluid movements, clearly used to doing this.
"Can you get up?"
Since Akemi entered headfirst, she couldn't look back and could only ask.
"Of course." Lin Yi stood on the toilet lid, grabbed the edge of the vent, and easily climbed up.
"Don't forget to put the cover back."
Akemi reminded him.
"Okay."
The ventilation duct was suitable for a woman, but for a man, it was a bit narrow.
Lin Yi had to work a little harder to put the vent cover back.
However, what really piqued Lin Yi's curiosity was: what kind of favorable event could be triggered in this narrow vent?
Thinking and thinking, he could only come up with one option: putting his head toward Akemi's backside.
"Follow me."
Akemi, unaware of the unhealthy thoughts filling Lin Yi's mind, began to move, slowly crawling forward.
