Apocalypse: The Hotel She Runs Is the Only Paradise

Chapter 47

The hotel owner... actually ignored his charm, and even colluded with the hotel guests to swindle him!

Although he didn't care about those Crystal Cores, being made a fool of was extremely painful for him!

Just wait!

Once Sister Rou takes over this hotel, he would definitely torture Gu Wanyin, and as for those hotel guests, none of them would have it easy!

Gu Mingyu snapped back to reality and asked Ning Jie, "Did you find anything?"

"Yes!" Ning Jie quickly replied, then took out a key and handed it to Gu Mingyu.

"What's this?" Gu Mingyu asked, puzzled as he played with the key.

The key looked quite ordinary, nothing special about it.

"This key is a very important item," Ning Jie explained. "It can open the door to the Interdimensional Space. All the supplies in this hotel come from there."

"Really!" Gu Mingyu immediately gripped the key tightly. "I knew it! Where else could she get endless supplies from? So there's such a place?"

If it were before, he definitely wouldn't have believed it.

But now it was the apocalypse, and he had witnessed the hotel's wonders, so Gu Wanyin having some kind of Interdimensional Space wasn't that surprising.

"Such an important key, and you managed to get your hands on it?" another ability user asked.

Hearing this, Gu Mingyu also looked at her suspiciously.

In truth, Ning Jie was panicking inside, but thinking of her sister still at Muruo Base, she forced herself to calm down and said as Gu Wanyin had taught her: "This is all thanks to Miss An's idea, telling me to approach the boss's younger siblings. Now, those two kids really like me and trust me. This key was stolen and given to me by them. Young Master Mingyu, you should know that we can't enter the boss's room at all. If it weren't for them, I definitely couldn't have gotten this key."

"So that's how it is." The ability user smiled. "Well done, I didn't expect you to be so capable."

Gu Mingyu held the key, but he felt uneasy.

He came to this hotel and hadn't accomplished anything, yet this unremarkable maid had obtained such an important item...

Sister Rou would definitely think he was useless.

No, he had to do more to make up for it!

"Where is this Interdimensional Space?" Gu Mingyu asked anxiously. "I want to go there now!"

"I don't know that yet," Ning Jie said helplessly. "Those two kids don't know either. I guess only the boss knows how to get there."

"Then what's the use of having this key?" Gu Mingyu said impatiently.

"Having it is better than not, right?" Ning Jie frowned and said, "You can take the key back to Miss An, she'll definitely be happy."

Gu Mingyu thought that made sense.

He was about to leave with the key when Ning Jie quickly asked, "What about my sister? How is she doing?"

"You're not at ease with her by Sister Rou's side?" Gu Mingyu said impatiently. "As long as you help her well, what could she do to your sister? Sister Rou is so kind, she won't harm anyone!"

Ning Jie: "?"

Was Gu Mingyu joking?

Kind? Won't harm anyone? Was he talking about An Cairou?

"Oh right, Sister Rou also said to get those two kids out of the hotel and back to Muruo Base as soon as possible. Now that they trust you so much, you should act quickly," Gu Mingyu added.

Ning Jie: "..."

Did he even hear what he was saying?

He just finished saying An Cairou was kind and wouldn't harm anyone, and then he says this?

Ning Jie felt she couldn't understand these people's thought processes.

Fortunately, she had cooperated with Gu Wanyin. If successful, she could live in the hotel in the future.

If she had stayed by An Cairou's side, she and her sister would surely have been led astray.

"Did you hear what I said?" Gu Mingyu asked displeased, seeing Ning Jie lost in thought.

"Ah? Yes, yes, I heard. I'll do it as soon as possible," Ning Jie quickly said. "Please tell Miss An not to harm my sister."

"Got it, stop talking nonsense."

Gu Mingyu left without hesitation.

The other ability users gave Ning Jie a sympathetic look before leaving as well.

Ning Jie collected herself and returned to the hotel.

As soon as she entered, she saw Gu Wanyin and quickly said, "Boss, I've said those things to Gu Mingyu as you instructed, and gave him the key."

"Gu Mingyu?" Gu Wanyin raised an eyebrow slightly. "He's not dead yet?"

"Yes... but it seems he barely escaped back to Muruo Base."

Gu Wanyin nodded.

As expected of a high-level ability user, even after being teleported to a volcano's mouth, he could still survive.

If she had known, she would have teleported him directly into space.

But it didn't matter.

Given Gu Mingyu's obsession with An Cairou, he would surely go to his death with her when the time came.

"Boss, what should we do next?" Ning Jie asked.

"No rush," Gu Wanyin revealed a slight smile. "Let's wait for An Cairou's side to make a move. I think I'll be able to meet her face to face very soon."

...

As soon as Gu Mingyu returned to Muruo Base, he rushed to find An Cairou.

It just so happened that An Cairou was having dinner with Gu Chengyu in the cafeteria.

As he entered, he saw An Cairou picking up a piece of meat to feed Gu Chengyu, who had a blissful expression on his face, as if savoring the taste.

Gu Mingyu's expression darkened.

If it weren't for his brother, he would be the one sharing such an intimate moment with An Cairou now...

"Mingyu, you're back," An Cairou noticed him first. "Come join us for a bite."

Although Gu Chengyu's gaze was cold, Gu Mingyu still walked over and sat down.

As An Cairou ladled some soup for him, she asked, "You just went to the hotel with them, right? Did you see Ning Jie? What did she say?"

"She got a key," Gu Mingyu said, taking out the key and handing it to An Cairou. "It's said to be the key to the Interdimensional Space. The reason that boss has so many supplies is that she gets them all from there."

"Really? I knew it!" An Cairou immediately took the key excitedly. "How could she possibly have so many exquisite supplies in the apocalypse? So there's such an amazing place! I thought spaces like this only existed in novels!"

"Before the apocalypse, I thought the apocalypse only existed in novels too," Gu Mingyu said with a bitter smile.

"It seems I really didn't misjudge Ning Jie," An Cairou said with a smile. "She actually got such an important item!"

"But we don't know where this Interdimensional Space is. Having the key is useless," Gu Chengyu said.

An Cairou laughed, "Brother Chengyu, think about it. Now that we have the key, that boss can't enter the Interdimensional Space. Won't she be anxious? Then, we can take the opportunity to blackmail her."

Hearing this, Gu Chengyu's eyes immediately lit up: "You're right! That makes sense!"
