Sisters

Entering the [Fat Orange Hotel] to continue negotiations was Director Jia's job.

Fengling's purpose for coming was to find Chen Miemie.

After Chen Miemie returned to the city, he used spatial teleportation to enter and exit the hotel. To outsiders, it appeared that he had entered the hotel before the [Sunless Day] and had never come out since.

Even when the previous batch of guests escaped, his figure was not seen among them.

Except for a few people like the Mian family and Fina, no one else knew whether Chen Miemie was dead or alive.

As soon as Director Jia and Fengling entered the main doors, they became tense.

There was no one at the front desk, and Baibai was nowhere to be seen.

Now on the front desk was Yarn Ball.

Director Jia subtly pulled Fengling a bit, signaling with his eyes, Something is wrong, let us retreat first.

Before Fengling could react.

The curled-up Yarn Ball opened its eyes: Why run? Talking to me is the same, meow.

How could Director Jia believe that? He valued his life very much.

Talking with Baibai was merely bargaining and haggling, but Yarn Ball was a true anomaly. Even though Baibai said it had become her pet, a pet not attacking its master did not mean it would not attack the accomplices who had once helped its master deal with it.

Bang~

Director Jia failed to run out.

When he was still two steps away from the main door, it slammed shut.

No way, meow. If a guest leaves immediately after entering, it would make our hotel look inhospitable.

Director Jia was a master of changing faces. He was just tense and panicked, but the next second, a flattering smile hung on his face:

What are you talking about? The [Fat Orange Hotel] is famous for making guests feel at home. Who would not like it?

Hypocrite. Yarn Ball curled itself up again and ignored him.

During the exchange between the man and the cat, several eyes secretly grew on Fengling's body. The eyes squeezed out from the back of her neck and the palms of her hands, observing the first-floor lobby from Yarn Ball's blind spots.

Fengling discovered that in various hidden corners, cats were secretly staring at them.

Baibai walked down from upstairs.

Have all my demands been met?

Director Jia hurriedly went up to meet her: Basically yes. There are no problems with the first and second conditions. It is just that for the VIP cards mentioned in the third condition, what specific privileges do they entail, and how many does the hotel plan to distribute?

I have not decided on the required privileges for the VIP cards yet. They could change at any time.

Director Jia frowned slightly.

He was not afraid of Baibai making excessive demands, but he was afraid of this kind of uncertainty. Would this not be equivalent to giving her a blank check to fill out however she pleased?

How could such a demand be agreed to?

Ms. Baibai, is not this changing at any time a bit too flexible?

Baibai's expression turned cold: You are only responsible for passing on the message; I do not need your opinion. In times of crisis, the hotel can guarantee the safety of those elites and their families. This point alone cannot be bought with wealth. They will know how to choose.

Director Jia finished talking with Baibai.

Fengling spoke up: Is Chen Miemie still alive?

Baibai had not ignored Fengling. During negotiations, Director Jia would not bring in an irrelevant person.

And you are?

I am a teacher at his school.

He is a VIP guest of our hotel and is currently resting inside.

This reply not only surprised Fengling, but Director Jia beside her was also secretly clicking his tongue in amazement.

Director Jia's mind was racing:

Good heavens, truly good heavens. As expected of Chen Miemie with his profound background. While others were fleeing for their lives, he was actually sleeping inside. He really treated this place like a hotel.

Wait? Did Ms. Baibai just say Chen Miemie was a VIP guest? Could it be the VIP associated with the VIP cards?

Fengling did not entirely believe Baibai; she only trusted her own eyes.

I need to see Chen Miemie for something. Could you help call him down?

Baibai shook her head: Before he went to sleep, he stated that he did not want to be disturbed. You can send him a message or wait here for him to wake up.

Fengling nodded to show she understood.

Although she was quite straightforward, she was not foolish enough to clash with a Danger Level 7 anomaly while standing in its belly.

Moreover, her goal had already been achieved, she had confirmed that Chen Miemie was fine.

On the other side of the city.

The Mian family residence.

As soon as Mian Ruyan returned home, she was caught red-handed by Amber.

What are you doing? Do not block the way, I want to go back to my room to sleep. Mian Ruyan did not have a good relationship with this great witch sister of hers.

I want to know everything that happened at the [Fat Orange Hotel] yesterday.

What happened? I do not know. I was terrified. I hid in my room all day, and then I escaped with the others.

Amber did not step aside.

You have never been good at lying since you were little, let alone trying to fool your sister.

Believe it or not, it is up to you.

Why did you save that orange cat?

Caught off guard by this sudden question, Mian Ruyan immediately started to stammer: Wh-what are you talking about? What orange cat?

Amber suddenly closed in, backing Mian Ruyan into a corner:

Has the eldest Miss Mian forgotten so quickly? You were quite impressive when you showed off your skills in the hotel kitchen.

H-how did you know! That waiter in the kitchen was your man!

Quick reaction, not bad. If it were not for him, I would not have known that Chen Miemie was in the hotel. If I had not asked Vera to notify Chen Miemie to look after you, what would have happened to you?

Mian Ruyan was suddenly left speechless, her bravado instantly deflating.

She was not an idiot either.

What would have happened without Chen Miemie?

She probably would have been dead by now.

Amber gently stroked Mian Ruyan's face: So, my dear sister, having indirectly saved you once again, it is not too much to ask for a little information, is it?

No. Mian Ruyan lacked confidence. I promised Chen Miemie I would not say anything. He is my direct savior; you have to step aside.

Amber did not push her: Fine, I will not ask about Chen Miemie. But surely you can tell me about your friend named Mengmeng.

Mengmeng? She thought she was just calling me over to cook. It was not until I went that I realized she was a victim too.

Heh, you are still a bit too naive, Mian Ruyan. Do you really think that, as the biological great-granddaughter of the anomaly at the front desk, she is just an innocent victim? Why cook at any other time, but specifically right when the [Sunless Day] was approaching?

You actually knew that Mengmeng is her great-granddaughter!

Saying this might make you uncomfortable, which is why I did not tell you before.

To ensure your safety, the family has investigated all your friends, naturally including this Mengmeng.

Do not glare at me like that. If you want to get mad, go find your father; it was his idea.

Hmph, you guys have always been like this. Forget it.

So what? Mengmeng is my good friend, and now she is also a descendant of the [Fat Orange Hotel]. What are you trying to say?

Amber's eyes grew profound:

I suggest you do not trust this friend of yours too much, nor should you trust the relationship between her and her great-grandmother.

As far as I know, your friend connected with the hotel's orange cat because of a kitten, and that was no coincidence.

What, is Your Excellency the Great Witch so omnipotent that you even know the cat was arranged by someone?

Amber had already found out what she wanted to know. She asked no more questions and turned to leave.

She left one final sentence:

"Your friend Mengmeng's parents also entered the [Fat Orange Hotel] right before a [Day Without Tomorrow] and never came out again. Do you really still think it's just a coincidence?"
