Apocalypse: The Hotel She Runs Is the Only Paradise

Chapter 50

Seeing Gu Wanyin's flustered appearance, An Cairou felt very pleased with herself.

"Ms. Gu, haven't you noticed that you're missing something important?" Gu Mingyu said mockingly.

Gu Wanyin immediately turned and went back into the hotel, while An Cairou and the others waited outside at their leisure.

After a while, Gu Wanyin came out again.

She angrily demanded: "What did you do? That thing... how did that thing end up in your hands?"

An Cairou smiled. It seemed the key was indeed real, and Ning Jie had done a good job!

"In that case, I'll be straightforward," An Cairou said, lifting her chin arrogantly. "We have the key now. If you want it back, tell us where that Interdimensional Space with supplies is located."

Gu Wanyin took two steps back, her face showing fear as she said, "You... you even know about my Interdimensional Space..."

An Cairou felt extremely satisfied.

What magical hotel? What powerful boss? Nothing but this!

She knew that whatever she wanted, she would get!

"Don't worry, we won't treat you unfairly after we get the supplies," Gu Chengyu said meaningfully.

An Cairou glanced at Gu Chengyu, frowning slightly, but said nothing. However, her gaze towards Gu Wanyin became even more hostile.

She thought that once she got the supplies, this hotel owner absolutely could not be allowed to live!

"Shut up!" Gu Wanyin said angrily. "I was so careful, but I never thought you'd find out my secret! Let me tell you, I won't let you succeed. Even if you have the key, you won't know where my space is! You still won't be able to get those supplies!"

"Ms. Gu, why be so stubborn?" An Cairou said with a cold smile. "Now that we have the key, if you don't cooperate with us, you won't be able to get the supplies either. When that happens, how will you keep this hotel running?"

Gu Wanyin frowned deeply, as if thinking about something.

"Don't worry, we always keep our word," Gu Chengyu said again. "You can name any conditions you want."

Gu Wanyin sighed, appearing to make a concession: "If that's the case, I won't fight you anymore. How about this: I'll take you to the space, you give me back the key, and from now on, we split the supplies 50-50. How's that?"

"No," An Cairou said immediately. "We want 90 percent."

"What?" Gu Wanyin looked at her in shock. "You're dreaming!"

"You're in no position to negotiate with us," An Cairou said, getting impatient. "Even without those supplies, we'd just go back to our previous way of life. We'd be fine. But you, you wouldn't be doing so well, would you?"

"Stop wasting time, Ms. Gu," Gu Mingyu said, gloating.

After thinking for a long time, Gu Wanyin said reluctantly: "Fine, I agree to your terms. So, where's the key now?"

"With one of my subordinates," An Cairou said smugly. "You'll take us to find that Interdimensional Space now, just you alone. You can't bring anyone else from the hotel."

An Cairou knew the hotel had some magical properties, so she didn't dare bring the key directly to the hotel entrance, fearing Gu Wanyin might snatch it back.

So she had given the key to one of her absolutely loyal subordinates, having him wait for them on the way with the key.

She had no idea that the precious key she treasured so much was just a decorative item Gu Wanyin had casually picked up from a drawer...

"How about this: I can give you the lion's share of the supplies, but you should give me some other benefits, right?" Gu Wanyin said. "Otherwise, I'd be losing out too much."

An Cairou and Gu Chengyu exchanged a glance.

Then, Gu Chengyu said: "Alright, we'll arrange a position for you at Muruo Base later. How's that?"

"Deal."

After Gu Wanyin said this, she turned and walked towards her car, then said: "Let's go get the key first. Your cars will drive in front, and I'll follow you. After we get the key, I'll take you to the space entrance."

An Cairou gave her subordinates a meaningful look.

The subordinates immediately understood.

The cars started moving one by one, with An Cairou's car and two other cars with high-level ability users in front, Gu Wanyin driving in the middle, and several more cars with high-level ability users following behind her.

Gu Wanyin knew clearly that they were watching her, afraid she might try something.

But she didn't care, driving while humming a tune.

If she wanted to trick them, could An Cairou stop her?

An Cairou had no idea what kind of hell was waiting for her up ahead...

...

An Cairou sat in the car, looking to be in a good mood. She sat in the passenger seat, chatting non-stop with Gu Mingyu, who was driving.

Gu Chengyu sat alone in the back seat, his brows furrowed.

He tried to say a few words to An Cairou, but she barely paid him any attention.

This made Gu Mingyu very pleased, and he even gave Gu Chengyu a challenging look through the rearview mirror.

Gu Chengyu felt very frustrated and began to harbor some resentment towards An Cairou.

She clearly knew that he had always been in a silent competition with Gu Mingyu, and now she was acting like this. Wasn't she just slapping him in the face?

Did she really only have him in her heart?

An Cairou naturally noticed that something was off with Gu Chengyu.

But she didn't want to deal with it.

She still remembered the way Gu Chengyu had looked at the hotel owner earlier!

Soon, they met up with the subordinate who had the key.

After An Cairou got the key, she had Gu Wanyin's car move to the front.

Gu Wanyin kept driving at a steady pace, but An Cairou was getting impatient.

"How much longer until we get there?" she asked, frowning.

"She wouldn't be planning not to take us there at all, would she?" Gu Mingyu said uneasily.

After all, he had suffered a loss at the hotel before.

"She won't," An Cairou said after thinking for a moment. "We still have the key. Does she not want the supplies anymore? Besides, we're far from the hotel now. If she dares to try anything, we'll kill her immediately."

"Kill her? What about the supplies then?" Gu Chengyu asked immediately.

An Cairou gave him a sidelong glance and said with a cold laugh: "Brother Chengyu, are you really concerned about the supplies? Or is it that beautiful hotel owner you're worried about?"

"How can you say that, Rourou?" Gu Chengyu frowned.

"Big brother, Sister Rourou, don't argue," Gu Mingyu said, though his tone was gleeful. "Getting the supplies is the most important thing right now."

As they were talking, they suddenly saw Gu Wanyin's car stop in front of them.

Gu Mingyu quickly stopped the car as well.

Gu Wanyin got out of her car, and they followed suit.

Then, they saw a building in front of them that looked like a large warehouse, four stories high.

"Ms. Gu, have we arrived?" An Cairou asked.

"Yes," Gu Wanyin said with a smile. "This is the entrance to the space. Go inside, and you'll enter the space and be able to get the supplies inside. Of course, the door is locked. You'll need to use the key you have to open it."
