Chapter 229 My Mother Opens a Resort Hotel in the Apocalypse 5
[Host, what are you choosing?]
Early in the morning, System Xiaoqi saw Si Yan browsing through the resort hotel's system.
[We should head to City B now; the time when Si Yu meets the male lead is just around the corner.]
Si Yan said without looking up.
Why are you looking at the system then?
[I'm going to see my son soon, so I should at least renovate the hotel's exterior a bit more. Otherwise, how can this two-story hotel be called a resort hotel?]
Si Yan's fingers flew across the screen, displaying a wide variety of hotel pictures. However, they all shared one thing in common: they required a high number of points, and Si Yan's points were not yet sufficient.
It seems we need to get more customers.
Si Yan said thoughtfully.
After that day, the resort hotel's business improved. When the troublemakers heard about Kang Sinian and his group, they restrained themselves. Besides, they could have food and clean beds without stealing or robbing, so they weren't so eager to fight.
Because Si Yan's place was safe and had plenty of food, and the things she needed were things that no one wanted before, word quickly spread throughout City C, and everyone knew about the existence of this resort hotel.
Many people have even given it the name "safe house".
Meanwhile, Liu Qianqian and her two companions, who had been desperately searching for news of Lin Ruoyan and the others, also heard the news.
"What? So Brother Kang and his group were caught by this hotel owner? Then the hotel owner is Lin Ruoyan and her group's backer."
Xiaoyun said with a sudden realization.
"But everyone calls it a safe house, and says that Brother Kang and the others brought it on themselves."
After Feng Yuanyuan finished speaking, she glanced at Liu Qianqian cautiously.
"Nonsense! Let's go see if the hotel owner is really as mysterious as everyone says."
After Liu Qianqian finished speaking, she led the two of them in the direction they had inquired about earlier.
But by then the hotel had changed dramatically; not only had it grown to ten stories, but its exterior had also become resplendent with gold.
"Wait, they said it was a two-story building. How did it turn out like this?"
Xiaoyun said with a surprised look.
Those who were in a hurry to get into the hotel heard this and immediately stopped.
"This is your first time here, right? This is the unique feature of this hotel. It can be upgraded. The owner said she doesn't know what the final form will be like. Maybe it will even go to outer space in the future."
The middle-aged woman looked longingly at Liu Qianqian and the other two, but she quickly recovered and looked at them as if they were three pieces of fat meat.
Because Si Yan said that as long as they bring new customers to spend money, they can get rebates, which are all free. Who wouldn't like that?
"You guys don't know how to register for the points card yet, right? Come this way, I'll show you how. This points card is really useful; you can use it to buy food, stay in hotels, even go to hot springs, and so on. You can use it for anything the hotel offers. And also..."
After looking the group up and down, the middle-aged woman continued.
"You pretty young ladies can definitely make the right choice staying here, because there's nowhere safer than this place. Do you know that Kang Sinian? I heard he tried to harm two young ladies, but the hotel owner made him disappear with a spell. We don't even know where he is now, so you can stay here without worry."
To persuade them to sign up for the cards and continue using them, the middle-aged woman went to great lengths to praise the hotel, inadvertently mentioning Lin Ruoyan and Wang An'an in one of her remarks.
"To be honest, the two girls, Lin Ruoyan and Wang An'an, are the most comfortable in the whole hotel. I heard they found a lot of gold and silver treasures and exchanged them for a lot of points. Now the most luxurious room in the hotel is occupied by the two sisters."
"What? Auntie, are you sure it's Lin Ruoyan and Wang An'an?"
Xiao Yun asked in surprise.
"Of course, that's impossible. No one could possibly share the same name to that extent."
"That's true, but Auntie, aren't they afraid that being so high-profile might attract unwanted attention?"
Liu Qianqian, standing to the side, asked with a worried expression.
"Don't worry, I told you this hotel is very safe. It's not like no one has tried to take advantage of us, but the hotel owner has dealt with them all, and they've all disappeared without a trace."
The middle-aged woman approached the three of them and whispered.
"Oh, but wouldn't that be a bit inappropriate? Wouldn't it be too bloody?"
Liu Qianqian said weakly.
"Hey, what's with the gore? If you ask me, that's how it should be. Then those who are wavering won't dare to make a move."
The middle-aged woman waved her hand dismissively.
"Oh, really? Then this place is really safe."
After helping the three people complete the points system and check-in, the middle-aged woman slipped away, fearing that Liu Qianqian and the others would make her withdraw if they found out she was getting a commission.
"This woman runs pretty fast, like someone is chasing her."
Seeing the middle-aged woman running away, Xiaoyun couldn't help but make a few sarcastic remarks.
"Hey, Qianqian, are we really going to stay here?"
Xiao Yun asked curiously, knowing that the hotel owner was suspected of being the one who killed Kang Sinian.
“Stay? How can we not stay? If we don’t stay, how can we contact Lin Ruoyan and the others, and get justice for Brother Sinian?”
Liu Qianqian said it lightly, but only she knew what she was really thinking.
As for Wang An'an, she also talked to Lin Ruoyan about Liu Qianqian.
"Ruoyan, something bad has happened! I just saw Liu Qianqian and the others. They've also come to stay at the hotel."
Wang An'an said in a hurried manner.
"Let them come, what's there to be afraid of? Aren't they the ones who should be afraid now? After all, they're in cahoots with Kang Sinian."
Lin Ruoyan fiddled with the object in her hand, speaking without looking up.
"But Liu Qianqian is cunning and treacherous. Maybe they came to the hotel specifically to target us."
Wang An'an said angrily.
“I know Liu Qianqian well. I’m afraid she’s saying she’s dealing with us, but actually she wants to steal our backer. I’ll see how she looks when she finds out the hotel owner is a woman.”
Lin Ruoyan chuckled and said.
"That's true. Liu Qianqian is a very fake person. What she says and what she thinks are not the same."
Wang An'an nodded in agreement.
However, Wang An'an was right about one thing: because Si Yan has rarely appeared in public recently, Liu Qianqian and the other two still do not know that Si Yan is a woman.
Therefore, Liu Qianqian is now eager to see Si Yan, and the only opportunity for this is through Lin Ruoyan and the others.
Just then, Lin Ruoyan and Wang An'an were about to go to the hotel lobby for dinner when Liu Qianqian stopped them.
"Ruoyan, An'an, you two have kept us searching for you."
Before Liu Qianqian could finish speaking, tears began to fall.
The onlookers, unaware of the reason, pointed and whispered about Lin Ruoyan and her companions as they watched this scene.
"I told you those two were the problem. Look, they bullied that little girl until she cried."
"Exactly, they should have shared all the jewelry they found equally. Why should they spend all those points, and yet they're living in such a luxurious suite?"
"Yes, it's really unfair."
"Exactly, I think the people who should really be punished by the hotel owner are them."
"Make them hand over their points and distribute them equally among everyone."
"You, you're talking nonsense. I think you're just jealous."
Wang An'an was furious, and she wanted to say something more, but Lin Ruoyan stopped her.
"An'an, don't take it to heart. Didn't you hear what Sister Siyan said? She's about to leave for City B. We'll go with her then."
Lin Ruoyan whispered to Wang An'an.
"Oh no, but what about all these people here?"
Wang An'an asked hesitantly.
"Sister Siyan said that there will be a replica building, with the same functions as the current hotel, the only difference being that she won't be managing it."
Lin Ruoyan replied softly.
"That's great. I thought these people would come with us. I don't want them to come with us."
Wang An'an gave them a disdainful look.
"Hey, Wang An'an, what are you and Lin Ruoyan whispering about? Tell everyone! And don't you want to give Qianqian an explanation about Brother Kang's matter?"
Xiao Yun, who was standing next to Liu Qianqian, couldn't help but speak first.
"Explain? You're asking us to explain? Liu Qianqian, you guys are the ones who're being ridiculous. Don't you know who's been bullied?"
Wang An'an's voice choked as she spoke. If it weren't for Ruoyan, she didn't know what would have become of her.
“An’an, you’ve misunderstood. We just want you to contact the owner of this hotel so we can meet. I want to know why he treated our Sinian like that. He just misunderstood and wanted to stand up for me, but he didn’t have any bad intentions.”
Liu Qianqian sounded pitiful, but she acted on the wrong person. She dared to imply that the hotel owner had problems, and no one dared to discuss that topic.
Seeing that everyone had different expressions but no one was offering her comfort, Liu Qianqian paused, her face showing embarrassment.
"I heard you want to see me?"
Just then, a voice came from behind her. Liu Qianqian, preoccupied with her own emotions, did not notice that the voice was a woman's. When she heard everyone say that the hotel owner had arrived, she turned around happily.
"Why is it a woman?"
Liu Qianqian said in shock, "This is not what I expected at all."
"What? Miss Liu looks down on women?"
Si Yan raised an eyebrow and asked casually.
"No, no, I'm just surprised that you're in charge of such a big hotel. You're really amazing."
Liu Qianqian realized something was wrong and immediately changed her strategy. Regardless of whether the manager was male or female, the most important thing now was to secure their support first.
"Oh, Miss Liu, you're too kind."
"However, I can answer some of your questions about Miss Liu. I have a video recording here, you can take a look."
Upon hearing that there was a video recording, Liu Qianqian's expression suddenly became unnatural. Of course, she knew what kind of person Kang Sinian was; he was most likely interested in Si Yan's mysterious hotel.
Sure enough, as the video was played, the truth about Consinian was completely exposed to everyone.
Liu Qianqian's gentle smile was almost too bright to hold back.
But no one paid any attention to her; everyone's attention was focused on the scene of Kang Sinian and the others suddenly disappearing.
"It's actually true! The hotel owner really does have the ability to make people disappear suddenly."
"It seems that those who were tempted to make a move before are doomed. How can you fight against people like that? They're not even in the realm of ordinary people."
"Yes, but it's also safer in a hotel like this. Even in peacetime, no hotel could do that, right?"
No one cared where Si Yan had turned Kang Sinian and the others; instead, they all started discussing Si Yan's personal abilities.
Seeing this, Liu Qianqian bit her lip, her eyes filled with resentment. She was about to live a good life.
But Si Yan didn't have the energy to deal with her anymore. The hotel relocation plan was nearing completion, and the departure date was fast approaching.
Meanwhile, Si Yu embarked on his journey to the survivor base.
"Well, to be honest, it's only a little over 200 kilometers away. If it were before, I could get there in less than three hours."
Xu Wei complained as he walked, carrying his backpack.
“You said it was in the past, but before I could take a helicopter, now I can only walk there.”
An Ruiyang looked at Xu Wei speechlessly and retorted.
"Okay, my young masters, one of you drives a luxury car and the other flies a plane. I'm sorry, but before, I could only take the high-speed rail."
"Hey Siyu, you can't say that. The high-speed train you took was much more expensive than the two of ours."
Xu Wei joked with a smile.
"Alright, enough of this banter. Let's hurry on our way, it's getting dark."
The three of them had been walking for almost a day, and their strength was almost exhausted. If they encountered a monster at this time, it would not be a good thing.
However, although they did not encounter any monsters, they ran right into the group that had previously tried to rob them.
"Damn it, what bad luck, why is it them?"
Xu Wei's mouth moves faster than his brain; he's still thinking when he blurts it out.
Si Yu and An Ruiyang also felt uneasy.
Sure enough, the convoy stopped the moment they saw Si Yu and his group.
"Hey, three young people, we meet again?"
The middle-aged man looked at Si Yu and the other two with an unfriendly expression, and Yu Wei felt a chill run down his spine for no apparent reason.
"Brother, we're just trying to survive, we have no other choice."
Si Yu said with a smile.
“Survival? You guys whistled pretty loudly, whistle on, come on, come on, whistle for me again.”
The middle-aged man was furious when he thought about his embarrassing escape last time.
"Heh, heh, it's all a misunderstanding, it's all a misunderstanding."
Xu Wei, who had been whistling the loudest at the time, said with a smirk that they were unconsciously backing away as they spoke.
Seeing that the group was trying to run away, the middle-aged man's expression changed.
"Catch them."
"Yes."
"Run!"
Xu Wei screamed in fright, and now his backache and leg pain were gone, and he felt energetic all over.
Just as the three were about to be captured, a convoy appeared directly in front of them.
The entire convoy was painted with black and white striped logos, making it very eye-catching.
