Chapter 79: Chapter 0079: Malfunction

"What’s there to be afraid of? If the cops come, we’ll take them down together."

Xiao Wu said nonchalantly.

However, the crew-cut man hesitated and said with a gloomy face, "Forget it, it’s better not to alert the police. Just let the Ferris wheel stop and claim there’s a malfunction. Have everyone safely evacuated, and let those three be the last to come down. At that time, we can create an accident and let the other two accidentally fall to their deaths, then take our target away."

"Okay, I’ll keep an eye on their cabin and pull the brakes when it’s at the highest point, then say there’s an issue in the engine room."

Tang, the manager, thought for a moment and said with full caution, "I’ll call my people to disperse the onlookers so that whatever you two need to do, nobody will know."

"Alright, let’s do it when the time comes."

Xiao Wu sneered, then exchanged a glance with the crew-cut man.

The Ferris wheel rose from the ground to the sky, then slowly descended, completing a cycle in about fifteen minutes, allowing passengers to stay up for half an hour. Liu Mengting and Li Xiaoli inside the cabin had now completely relaxed. Although there was still a bit of fear, they were much braver than before when they dared not even open their eyes.

"Xiaoli, it looks like I need to take you mountain climbing more often so you can overcome your fear of heights."

Liu Mengting, noticing Li Xiaoli’s hesitant yet curious demeanor, said with a smile.

"Meng Meng sister, it seems you’re also a bit afraid of heights."

Li Xiaoli retorted.

"Yes, so the two of us should go mountain climbing more often to overcome this fear. Otherwise, how will you go see the snowy mountains with your boyfriend in the future?"

Liu Mengting directly voiced Li Xiaoli’s inner desires, which were to go to the snowy mountains with her beloved.

"Meng Meng sister, Tang Ming is here, could you please not mention that?"

Li Xiaoli blushed and pouted shyly.

"Oh, I’d forgotten about that."

Liu Mengting quickly apologized. With Tang present, although it was a bit safer, she and Li Xiaoli couldn’t be as open as when they were alone.

"I was asleep, I heard nothing." Tang Ming said.

"It would be better if you weren’t up here!"

Liu Mengting muttered just as an unexpected incident occurred...

When their cabin reached the highest point of the Ferris wheel again, there was a loud "bang" and the slowly moving Ferris wheel suddenly stopped.

In an instant, Tang Ming opened his eyes, thinking it was nothing serious, but trouble had still occurred.

Liu Mengting and Li Xiaoli stared outside, their faces beginning to show panic. Tang Ming stood up, leaned on the edge of the cabin, and looked down below, where the people looked as tiny as ants, barely visible.

"Don’t panic. I’ll ask what happened."

Tang Ming, staying calm, quickly noticed an emergency phone hanging inside the cabin. He swiftly picked it up and pressed the call button, receiving a quick response.

"Hello? We’re up on the Ferris wheel, why did it suddenly stop moving?"

Tang Ming asked.

"Sorry, there’s been a mechanical failure in the Ferris wheel. We’re handling it urgently. Please wait patiently, don’t leave the cabin, and stay safe. We will take measures as soon as possible."

The voice on the other end of the phone came through with a reply.

Tang Ming hung up the phone and noticed that there was no one around the Ferris wheel. If someone planned to make a move at such a high location, they really had to consider the possibility—what if they fell to their death before even climbing up!

In that case, was the sudden stop of the Ferris wheel an accident or was it man-made?

Beneath the Ferris wheel, the amusement park staff had already evacuated the area, and only two individuals—a buzz-cut man and Xiao Wu—were closest to the Ferris wheel. As for the fat manager, he was leaning on the periphery with his confidants. After all, this was a kidnapping.

It wouldn’t be good if any chaos broke out. He had to ensure from the outside that no one interfered, and he also had to make sure that no one knew this was a meticulously planned kidnapping.

The fat manager looked at the dozen security guards around him and ordered, "Listen up, this incident is serious. You must not let outsiders get close to this area. Our people are trying to think of a way to save them."

"Understood."

The security guards responded loudly.

The fat manager turned his head to look beneath the Ferris wheel, where there was now no one except for a large fire rescue air cushion and the two men sent by the organization standing beside it.

After some thought, the fat manager went over and said, "Gentlemen, an ambulance is coming soon. Should we let others go on it first to check them out, as a show?

"Yeah, pay attention to the order of release. Make sure the target on top is the last one down. Let the others leave quickly so they don’t see us working," said the buzz-cut man, looking at the Ferris wheel and sneering.

"Alright, I’ll go to the control room."

Manager Tang thought about this plan and realized it indeed had a high chance of success.

In the control room, Manager Tang grabbed the intercom and shouted, "I’m starting to let people out, keep an eye out."

As soon as he finished speaking, Manager Tang started the Ferris wheel. It began to rotate slowly but then suddenly stopped again.

The two men immediately shouted to the people above, "The Ferris wheel is malfunctioning. The upper bearing has slipped, so it can only move a little at a time. Prepare to jump down slowly from the height. We have placed a rescue air cushion below. Just jump onto it, and you’ll be fine."

"No, we’re scared," said a tourist from one of the cabins above, frightened.

"Don’t be scared, it’s fine. Jump quickly, otherwise, if something more severe happens later, it won’t be easy to get out," the buzz-cut man yelled loudly.

Sure enough, after hearing this, fearing that an accident might continue to occur, one man jumped first, landing directly on the air cushion. Seeing him unharmed, one by one, the others began to jump with their eyes closed.

Shortly after, all four cabin tourists had jumped down, and the fat manager in the control room was notified to continue rotating the Ferris wheel left and right.

About half an hour later, nearly everyone had jumped down. Some, frightened, got into the ambulance parked nearby, while others were fine and continued to other parts of the park. Only Tang Ming and two others were left.

Their cabin slowly descended from the height and stopped about seven or eight meters above the ground.

At this moment, Tang Ming could clearly see the two men below. At first glance, they did not look like good people—ordinary tourists might not notice, but Tang Ming felt that these two had a murderous aura and were likely killers.

And this accident also seemed to have traces of human interference!

"Sister Meng Meng, what should we do? I’m too scared to jump down from here," said Li Xiaoli, looking below, her face pale and on the verge of tears.
