Because of the operating hours of the restaurants on the three floors above, the two searched for supplies all the way to the top floor without encountering a single zombie or person, which actually made things convenient for them.

The search of the three floors yielded a very fruitful result.

In the rooftop Western restaurant, just as the two finished cleaning up and were about to leave, a gruff young man's voice came from the stairwell.

"Damn it! I ate at the buffet downstairs last night, how could there be nothing there!"

Li Xin'er and Li Yiyuan exchanged a glance. The renovation here was completely visible, and there was nowhere to hide, so they decided to walk out openly and improvise.

Just then, a tall, muscular man in a black suit walked in from the stairwell entrance.

Seeing that Li Xin'er and the other person were clearly stunned for a moment, and then noticing that each of them was holding a knife, they immediately adopted a defensive posture.

The young man following behind the man in the suit angrily shoved him, his tone very impatient.

"What are you doing blocking the doorway? Get out of here!"

The man in the suit stepped aside to make way, his legs shoulder-width apart, his hands clasped together in front of him.

"Boss, someone's here."

His movements made it immediately clear that he was a professional bodyguard.

Upon hearing this, the young man looked up and saw that it was only Li Xin'er and Li Yiyuan. He couldn't hide his contempt in his eyes.

Li Xin'er also got a good look at him. He was dressed in designer clothes, had small, single-eyelid eyes, and his face was full of arrogance. He was obviously a rich but morally corrupt young master.

That's true; most people staying at this hotel are probably not short of money.

Following closely behind the arrogant man was a tall, thin man in his thirties wearing silver-rimmed glasses.

His shrewd eyes scrutinized Li Xin'er and her companion from the moment he entered.

The bespectacled man smiled at the two of them and asked in a friendly manner:

"Hello, are you also here looking for food?"

Li Yiyuan nodded, giving a lukewarm reply.

"Um."

Li Xin'er responded with a natural smile.

"Unfortunately, there's nothing here."

Upon hearing this, the three people who arrived simultaneously scanned the restaurant. The kitchen was open-plan and could be seen clearly at a glance.

Sure enough, apart from tables, chairs, and kitchenware, there was no food to be seen, and even the freezers were empty.

The bespectacled man didn't seem disappointed; he nodded as if it were expected.

"Looks like it's the same as downstairs."

He was already mentally prepared for not finding anything on two consecutive floors.

He usually stays at this hotel when he comes to Haishi on business, so he is quite familiar with the hotel's interior.

He thought to himself that he could only try to find food in the restaurants on the 6th and 5th floors downstairs, or maybe snacks and instant noodles in the hotel's storage room.

Given the current situation, I dare not go out rashly. I can only stay here and see if I can wait for reinforcements.

The arrogant man wasn't as calm as him; he looked at Li Xin'er and the other woman suspiciously, his tone sharp.

"You guys didn't take it, did you?"

The scrutinizing gaze seemed to be searching for traces of something hidden on them.

If you didn't know better, you'd think this hotel was owned by his family.

Li Xin'er and the other woman didn't intend to pay him any attention.

Unexpectedly, when the arrogant man's gaze fell on Li Xin'er's face, a flash of amazement crossed his eyes, followed by a sudden realization.

"I knew you looked familiar. Aren't you the big star Li Xin'er?"

He was extremely surprised and amazed.

"Wow, I didn't expect you to be so much prettier than you look on TV."

Li Yiyuan had no liking for this kind of rich second-generation, so he took Li Xin'er's hand and said to the bespectacled man whose attitude was relatively good:

"We're leaving now."

The arrogant man was unwilling to accept this and blocked Li Yiyuan's path first.

"Hey, why are you in such a hurry?"

He stared at Li Xin'er, his smile greasy.

"Big star, I'm a big fan of yours. It's not good for you to be so aloof. It's fate that we met. How about you give me an autograph?"

A look of disgust flashed across the bespectacled man's eyes. This shameless bastard, what kind of time is this to be chasing girls?

However, he quickly masked his disgust, put on a professional smile, and said to Li Xin'er:

"Yes, our Young Master Ye is a fan of Miss Li. He even suggested to President Ye that you become the spokesperson for Guangming Chengye."

What a coincidence! Is this a convenient time for you, Ms. Li?

Li Xin'er raised an eyebrow upon hearing this. This person was indeed shrewd, revealing his identity in a single sentence while also speaking well of the arrogant man.

Bright future?

She knew that the boss, Ye Ming, made his fortune in printing and was a well-known philanthropist in China, but she never expected his son to be like this.

Before Li Xin'er could answer, Ye Guangyu deliberately moved closer to her.

"Would a big star really be so disrespectful?"

Li Xin'er stepped back from him, smiling as she asked in return,

"How much is your pride worth?"

Ye Guangyu was embarrassed and felt somewhat ashamed.

When he was out and about, he never mentioned that the Ye family was not effective. As long as they knew that he was the young master of the Ye family, they would fawn over him and try to please him.

Now look what's happened, even a celebrity dares to act arrogantly in front of him?

Ye Mingyu's face flushed red as he threatened fiercely.

"Is this big star getting tired of the good life and doesn't want to stay in the industry anymore?"

If he wanted to, he could just casually make a call within the industry, and no matter how popular or influential Li Xin'er was, she would have to behave herself!

Li Yiyuan frowned, radiating a cold aura. He pulled Li Xin'er behind him, shielding her in front, and said coldly to Ye Guangyu:

"Young Master Ye, please be more polite. This is Shanghai, not Beijing."

The first time Li Xin'er saw his cold expression, she never expected that this young man, who usually talked nonsense and seemed unreliable and carefree, could be so intimidating when he got serious.
