Chapter 41: Using Every Trick in the Book: Ancai Rou
Chapter 41
...
In the Muruo Base, An Cairou was standing by the window in her room, her gaze deep as she looked outside, lost in thought.
After a while, Gu Chengyu walked in.
He had just raided another base and brought back a lot of supplies, along with several high-level ability users. He was in a good mood.
He hugged An Cairou from behind and asked softly, "What are you thinking about?"
Before An Cairou could answer, he said with displeasure, "You\'re not still thinking about Ming Yu, are you?"
"Brother Chengyu, can\'t you be less petty?" An Cairou said helplessly. "I only see Ming Yu as a little brother... Besides, I\'ve learned pretty much everything about that hotel from him these past few days."
"So, do you have any ideas?" Gu Chengyu asked eagerly.
That hotel was so miraculous, he wanted it too.
"I think perhaps the hotel owner knew Ming Yu\'s identity," An Cairou said. "Ming Yu told me he wanted to use a fake name, but after he exchanged crystals for points, his real name appeared on the key card automatically. Although Ming Yu has always kept a low profile, and not many people know you have such a brother, he\'s not invisible. There are still some people who know about his relationship with you."
"You mean the hotel owner knew he came from our base, so they were on guard?"
"Exactly. I was careless about this," An Cairou sighed. "I just didn\'t expect... that with Ming Yu\'s charm, he couldn\'t win over a girl."
"So what should we do now?"
"Send someone who absolutely won\'t be recognized by outsiders," An Cairou said. "Have someone call the maid who\'s always by my side."
Gu Chengyu nodded, "Alright."
Soon, the maid came before An Cairou. She was very anxious, worried that she had done something wrong and was about to be kicked out of the Muruo Base by An Cairou.
Her name was Ning Jie, just an ordinary person. If An Cairou hadn\'t needed a maid before, she and her sister definitely wouldn\'t have been able to enter the Muruo Base.
"Ning Jie, you\'ve been working for me for almost a year now, right?" An Cairou smiled at her.
"Yes, Miss An," Ning Jie said nervously.
"You should know how I\'ve treated you."
Ning Jie didn\'t speak, just gave a dry smile.
To be fair, she and her sister had always served An Cairou diligently, working hard at everything. But... An Cairou hadn\'t given them anything as wages, and even their daily food was just An Cairou\'s leftovers.
However, in this apocalyptic world, having a place to sleep and food to eat was already quite good.
So she and her sister had never complained.
But when An Cairou said this... it was as if she had been so good to the sisters?
An Cairou didn\'t notice the maid\'s unease and continued, "Now, it\'s time for you to repay me."
Ning Jie felt a wave of unease: "How... how do you want me to repay you?"
"You must have heard about that hotel," An Cairou said. "Now I want you to go to that hotel and be my insider."
This maid was just an ordinary person who had always stayed in her house since coming to the Muruo Base, never going out.
Even if someone had seen her, they wouldn\'t pay attention, let alone know her name.
So if she went to the hotel, even if the hotel owner learned her name, they definitely wouldn\'t know she came from the Muruo Base.
"I... I can\'t do it!" Ning Jie hurriedly said. "Even Young Master Ming Yu failed. I\'m just an ordinary person without any abilities..."
"Is that so? But I think you have a lot of potential," An Cairou said with a smile. "Don\'t worry, after you go there, your sister will definitely be well taken care of here."
How could Ning Jie not hear that An Cairou was threatening her with her sister?
After the apocalypse came, all their family members were bitten to death by zombies, leaving only her and her sister to rely on each other.
Her sister was her only family now...
Ning Jie gritted her teeth and said, "Alright, I understand. I\'m willing to go to that hotel. But what should I do after I get there?"
"I\'ve already thought about that for you," An Cairou said confidently. "Ming Yu mentioned that the hotel owner has a younger brother and a younger sister. When the time comes, you should start with them."
Since they couldn\'t get to the hotel owner, it should be easier to deal with children, right?
Ning Jie wasn\'t particularly beautiful, but she had a gentle personality and was very approachable. She would definitely be popular with children.
When the time came, they could use those two children to control the hotel owner...
If possible, they could even have Ning Jie bring the two children out of the hotel to the Muruo Base.
No matter how miraculous that hotel was, could two children still be protected if they left the hotel?
At this point, Ning Jie could only say bitterly, "Alright, I understand. I just hope Miss An... can take good care of my sister."
"Don\'t worry, as long as you help me well, I\'ll definitely keep my word," An Cairou said with a smile. "Tomorrow, I\'ll send two high-level ability users to escort you to that hotel. When I need to contact you, I\'ll send someone to find you. Remember to go out every day and wander around near the hotel."
"Alright, I understand."
"You can go now. Pack up well."
"Yes."
After Ning Jie left, Gu Chengyu said happily, "Cairou, you\'re really amazing. You can think of any solution."
"I hope this time we\'ll succeed," An Cairou\'s eyes flickered. "Ning Jie, Ning Jie, you\'d better not disappoint me. Otherwise, your sister might..."
Gu Chengyu looked at An Cairou\'s beautiful face, already impatient. He closed the door and pounced on her on the sofa.
"Cairou, I brought back a lot of supplies today. Don\'t you want to thank me properly?"
"Brother Chengyu, you\'re naughty..."
...
Escorted by several high-level ability users, Ning Jie arrived near the Peace Hotel.
They arrived at midnight.
Although she was mentally prepared, when she saw the hotel building, she still marveled.
Such a bright sign... This hotel owner really didn\'t spare any electricity! It seemed the supplies here were indeed very abundant. No wonder An Cairou had been obsessing over it, trying every means to obtain it.
Ning Jie walked into the hotel and saw that the lobby was also lit. A young man was sitting at the front desk. Seeing her come in, he smiled and said, "Welcome to the Peace Hotel."
