The itinerary for the second day was very low-key, with a total of six people in the second group escorting Angela and her party, and Liu Lian arranged all the way, everything was arranged in an orderly manner, and the brokerage company was more satisfied with this cooperation.

There is a clear difference between the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region (SAR) and Hong Kong from one side of prosperity to the other side of prosperity. The development of the Special Administrative Region is still in the high-speed stage, while Hong Kong is already very developed, and it can be seen that Hong Kong has a higher degree of internationalization, but everything in the Special Administrative Region is rapidly catching up and surpassing. The climate is exactly the same as in the Special Zone, the whole city is closer to the sea, and with the high-rise buildings, the sea breeze seems to be a little stronger. What was once an economic miracle remains a world-renowned financial center.

"Looking forward to the next cooperation, your company is so polite, your singing voice is still so good, I will accompany the whole process of the next tour, I wish you all the best." Liu Lian, as our representative, has been that sweet and intimate throughout the whole process, but it is in huge contrast with the usually cold Angela.

"Well, goodbye." Angela waved goodbye to us outside our international apartment.

On the way back, everyone finally put down their work and seemed to be a little relaxed. The bright sunshine and the gentle sea breeze make everyone look happy.

"We should celebrate the task perfectly." Cheng Luchen stretched his body fiercely.

"Well, everyone will have a holiday tomorrow, and these few days will be busy enough." Qiu Shao sat in the front row and turned around.

"Shall we have a drink and celebrate?" Cheng Luchen proposed.

"Go back and call Dong Jian and them together, there is also a group of those people, everyone is fighting hard this time." Liu Lian interjected.

"Well, it's okay, then let's go to the food street above the Great Times Square to eat casually, rush back in the afternoon to clean up and arrange celebrations in the evening, Liu Lian helped us negotiate a big business." Qiu Shao smiled at her and said.

"She doesn't want to forget our Brother Jian, she thinks about it." Cheng Luchen began to coax.

"Say it again!" Liu Lian glared at him and said angrily, his face was a little red, causing laughter in the car.

Grand Times Square is a large shopping and dining mall located on the way back to the SAR through which most tourists who come to Hong Kong for tourism and return to the SAR port for customs clearance, and shopping and food have become the main profit points of the mall. The whole shopping mall has seven floors, in addition to all kinds of clothing, bags and other goods, the main food and beverage parts are located on the sixth and seventh floors, Qiu Shao's recommended tea restaurant is just located at the end of the seventh floor, it is said that business is very hot.

"You go up and order food first, and I'll go out and smoke a cigarette and come in." Smoking is prohibited in the mall, and with Angela sent in the morning, there is no chance to burn one in the business car.

"Then we'll go up and order food first, and you can come up directly later." It's rare that Qiu Shao didn't go down with me to smoke, and it seems that he is still looking forward to the restaurant in this mall.

"Hmm." I went up the stairs from the garage alone to leave the mall.

The clouds were light and the wind was light, and I completely cleared my mind and found a moment of peace in the clouds and mist at my fingertips. A cigarette is very short, and after being extinguished, you enter through the main entrance of the mall, and the Christmas atmosphere is even stronger than in the SAR.

Facing the central patio is adorned with a huge Christmas tree, which is a real pine tree that is three stories high, unlike the shopping malls or plazas in the District. After the occasional fallen pine leaves under the tree were cleaned up by the cleaning staff, many tourists and couples lined up to take photos in front of the real Christmas tree. I can't help but sigh that Western festivals are indeed more valued in Hong Kong than in the SAR.

It is not yet a holiday, the flow of people is not particularly much, the patio of the shopping mall in order to divert the escalator is as dense as a spider web, one to two floors, one to three floors, one to four floors can stand on the escalator directly.

I used to see at a glance that the fastest way to get to the restaurant on the seventh floor was only two steps, first by taking the escalator from the first to the fourth floor, and then from the fourth to the seventh floor. I stepped on the longest escalator, turned my head and looked down, and the whole mall was full of shops as the elevator went up, like a large slide, shoes on the first floor, beautiful clothes on the second floor, exquisite leather goods on the third floor, and toy models on the fourth floor.

Going up to the fourth floor, I turned to the other side of the central patio and stepped up the escalator on the fourth to seventh floors. An old lady in a white coat stood on the dozen or so steps ahead, and two women in brown and dark blue trench coats stood side by side two steps in front of her, and the woman in the dark blue trench coat in the middle of them was holding a medium-sized suitcase. Further up, a man in a peaked cap and a jacket was almost on the sixth floor before he walked down the escalator.

Everything is in a festive mood, with lights up, cheerful Christmas carols playing in the mall, and everyone relaxing and enjoying the beautiful melodies.

The escalator is a little slower and more sluggish than usual. I subconsciously looked down at the center of the patio on the right, and the tall Christmas tree at such a height was already in full view of me, and the feeling of hanging in the air made me feel a little dizzy.

From about the fourth floor to the fifth floor, the metal steps of the escalator became more frustrating, and the people on the escalator began to subconsciously look at the elevator under their feet. I began to use some force to grasp the wrist of the armrest, and the old lady in front of me sat sideways on the raised steps in front of her due to her unstable center of gravity. Further, two young women, one left and one right, began to grasp the handrail next to them, and the metal suitcase swayed and fell between them, about to roll off.

Two seconds later, the situation continued to deteriorate, and the cheerful Christmas carol no longer seemed clear, accompanied by the crash of the metal stairs beneath her feet, and finally the girl in the brown dress in front of her began to scream for help. At the same time, the elevator that had been frustrated began to reverse, accelerating little by little, little by little.

There were suspended patios on the left and right, and jumping from the fifth or sixth floor of the mall was tantamount to suicide, but just when I was lucky enough to think that the reverse would not cause massive damage to the elevator, the metal suitcase that rolled down from my side completely wrenched into the control of the escalator below. The originally neat metal squares instantly turned into tumbling metal teeth, the metal trunk was engulfed in an instant, and the clothes were twisted on the iron chains and stairs like a bloody mouth, and anything that was twisted into it would be ruthlessly torn apart.

There was no time to hesitate, and it was not a problem to climb over the escalator that I was going down the other side with my skills, because there was a narrow gap between the upper and lower escalators, which was not a guarantee of foolproofness, but it was almost the only way. I didn't think much about it, and I lifted my upper body with one hand, and my body crossed the gap of less than half a meter and landed accurately on the descending steps.

But there were still people on the elevator on the other side, and the woman in the brown trench coat who saw my movements in the distance imitated my movements, and half of her body had already stepped out of the escalator that was slipping, and the old lady who had been sitting on the steps threw me a pleading look.

You can't see death without help.

As the escalator descended, the old lady and I didn't slide down very fast, and at the same time as she happened to pass me, I decisively stretched out my arm and poked my entire upper body out of the escalator.

Second, second and second, time seemed to stand still...

The voice in the celebration song suddenly became a little harsh, and I pulled the paralyzed old lady out of the elevator with all my might, but I couldn't fully support her with the strength under my feet, and the half-meter hanging space was still too wide for her.

"Young man, albeit forced." As soon as I finished speaking, a middle-aged uncle who was standing on the downward escalator stopped me and hugged me.

I put my hand under the armpit of the limp old lady with almost all my strength, and lifted her up like a child, and the middle-aged uncle not only bears my weight, but also bears the weight of the old lady.

"Pull." I held my breath and shouted.

The middle-aged uncle and I worked hard at the same time, and the old lady was dragged by the two of us, and the three of us fell down the escalator at the same time.

After only a second of hesitation, the middle-aged uncle stepped up in three steps and two steps, grabbing the arm of the woman in the brown trench coat who was almost over.

The tumbling metal staircase was still devouring, and the shrill crash was like the grinding of a monster's teeth.

I glanced at the long staircase on the other side, where was the woman in the dark blue trench coat and the man in the jacket?

"Xiao Ai, get up, get up." The woman in the brown trench coat, who had flipped to this side, shouted to the side of the escalator that was still falling.

In another second, I glanced back and forth, and finally saw the girl in the dark blue trench coat who was already trembling a little on the stairs, looking like she had forgotten her movements because of fright, and even forgot to scream, just trembling helplessly.

"Get up." I yelled at her, perhaps harshly enough, that the girl finally reacted, and raised her head to meet my gaze, but her eyes were still empty and gray, as if her soul wanted to struggle, but her heart had given up.

"Bastard, you fucking stand me up." In a hurry, my tone was like when I reprimanded my brothers, even if the sword mountain and the sea of fire were not allowed to fall in front of me before they died, let alone give up on themselves.

The girl finally moved, cowering and leaning to the side to climb up, she wanted to live, but her feet were really scared and weak.

After another two seconds, and after a visual estimate of the speed, she was less than eight seconds away from the meat grinder. I didn't have a second more to think about what to do, and at this time everything was in front of my mind, and I instinctively made a choice.

An eight-second countdown.

In the first second, I once again flipped back down the escalator that had slid down.

The next second, I leapt up to the inky blue woman.

In the third second, "Can you stand up?" ”

In the fourth second, she just stared at me in a blank daze, without giving me any movement, not even nodding or shaking her head.
