Manager Chen has already bought some time and is still processing check-outs for customers.

The hotel has a high occupancy rate, so it's not something you can just check in all at once. With over ten floors, you can't just rush into every room and throw all the luggage out; after all, the guests are innocent victims.

The person in charge had no choice but to grant another day's grace.

They were in a hurry to let the customer check out, but the customer was making a fuss. However, when they heard that they would get a full refund regardless of how many days the customer had stayed, they immediately calmed down.

They lined up obediently, chatting and laughing, and nothing discordant happened.

Because it took so long, Qin Xiaoyu even paid for someone to buy bread and soda, which she then distributed to the customers in line at mealtimes.

"When will it reopen? I'll come back to stay here again," someone asked, and the people around them chimed in.

This was her most successful marketing campaign ever, and Qin Xiaoyu turned her fortunes around once again.

Qin Xiaoyu contacted the taxi company again, and a long line of taxis appeared at the entrance, with one taxi leaving as soon as a group of people came out.

Even the enforcers were astonished; they had never seen a company about to be seized operate so methodically.

Every household was in chaos, like people were fleeing a disaster.

This harmony resembles a simple migration.

The advertising company's door was also sealed off. Wang Lei held up the business license and negotiated to have the door opened so he could retrieve his belongings.

Qin Xiaoyu asked Jie Wei and Xu Jingye to drive over and pick them up, and to bring the advertising company's stuff to the store first. She estimated that it would take several months for the case to be fully completed, and the client couldn't wait that long.

Perhaps because Qin Xiaoyu was directing people back and forth so conspicuously, a person in uniform came over and called out to her.

Are you from the hotel?

"No, the boss is my relative. I'm here to help handle the aftermath."

"A relative of the boss? Are they involved in the case? Leave their name and address." The executor was very vigilant.

“Comrade, if I were involved in a case, I wouldn’t be here now. Even the driver has been arrested, how could I possibly stay? We abide by the law and hope that our legal rights will be protected. I’m just helping out of humanitarian concern, shouldn’t we be reasonable? These customers are innocent, we can’t let them sleep on the streets, so we should try our best to provide them with accommodation.” Qin Xiaoyu said neither humbly nor arrogantly.

"Okay, then hurry up!"

The man sized her up a few times, and seeing that she didn't look like someone from the underworld, with no trace of vulgarity, he turned and left.

"You should go back first. Don't let this matter drag you into it, or it will be troublesome," Wang Lei said worriedly.

"I'm not afraid. Let them do whatever they want. Anyway, I'm an honest businessman," Qin Xiaoyu snorted.

She herself has been to the palace so many times that she has lost count.

By evening, everything was finally cleaned up, and the hotel was officially sealed off.

As Qin Xiaoyu got into the car and left, she glanced up at the hotel. It embodied the hard work of Qi Si and his wife, from its humble beginnings to its bustling opening. But after the initial excitement faded, it all seemed like a dream. A dream that lasted only a few months.

What was once a brightly lit and bustling entertainment venue suddenly turned into a dark and gloomy place, leaving her feeling utterly desolate.

Brother, I'll turn the lights back on when you come back.

Qin Xiaoyu prayed silently.

When she returned home, the house was warm and the table was set with food. In addition to Zhou Yue's family, even Mrs. Fang and her wife had come over.

"I'll come see Jiajia tomorrow," Mrs. Fang said, a little worried as she watched Commander Zhou clumsily taking care of the child.

"There are so many people, it's not necessary." Zhou Xing's mother was really worried about her. Madam Fang had never looked after the child, and Commander Zhou was more reliable than her.

"I'm still better than any man," Mrs. Fang retorted, unconvinced.

"I'm here too, no problem." Hanhan's grandfather firmly stood on Commander Zhou's side; they were best friends.

Mrs. Fang pouted, annoyed.

"Children and grandchildren have their own blessings; let them make a fuss. We're leaving; let's not cause any more trouble." The wife still had to deal with Madam Fang.

When the doorbell rang, everyone jumped; they were all on edge.

Qin Xiaoyu went over and opened the door, where Su Ju was standing.

"Xiaoyu, come out for a moment." Su Ju never comes unless there's a reason, and everyone knows Qin Xiaoyu has ordered that she shouldn't be disturbed, so her coming here must mean something important. Qin Xiaoyu knew that something important must have happened.

She followed Su Ju out the door, and the two stood under the shade of a tree in the courtyard.

"I got Ye Qiu out," Su Ju said softly.

"Huh?" Qin Xiaoyu was taken aback. This Su Ju seemed so quiet, but she was actually quite capable.

Things are too chaotic here, and Qin Xiaoyu hasn't had time to deal with Ye Qiu yet.

Yesterday's incident happened suddenly. K was hosting a banquet at home with his key subordinates all present. Before they could even react, they were surrounded.

Because the police had already laid a trap, K and his gang didn't have time to resist or fire a single shot. Their entire operation was wiped out. Years later, this case was still used as a teaching material and was considered the most brilliant victory in the history of the anti-gang campaign.

Ye Qiu was upstairs with her child when she heard the car outside. She assumed it was another guest and didn't pay any attention.

After a while, she heard someone trudging upstairs. She glanced at her sleeping son and angrily went to open the door.

"Why are you running! The child is sleeping!" She was stunned. Who were these people in uniform?

They ignored her and rushed into the bedroom, searching the bed and under the bed. Ye Qiu watched helplessly as they carried the safe downstairs; not a single piece of her jewelry remained.

Finally, someone picked up the child, put him in her arms, and started dismantling the crib.

Ye Qiu's heart pounded. She had only been the boss's woman for less than two years and her understanding of the situation was still shallow.

"What are you doing?" she asked, trembling.

"Are you Kang Liangzai's wife, Ye Qiu?" They turned to her.

"It's me."

"You're under arrest."

And so, Ye Qiu was escorted downstairs. The area downstairs was also a mess. As she left, a police car had just driven away, with Master K in the car.

Because she had a baby with her, no one made things difficult for her; she was simply locked in a small room with a policewoman watching over her.

Ye Qiu's breast milk was insufficient, so she had already weaned the baby. The wet nurse had also run away in fear, and soon the baby started crying incessantly from hunger.

There's a case being handled here, people are coming and going, and people are constantly being arrested; we're short-staffed. Another baby is crying, and everyone is getting increasingly agitated.

"Is there anyone who can protect you?" the policewoman asked as she approached.

"Yes!" Ye Qiu nodded immediately upon hearing this.

The policewoman took her to make a phone call. Ye Qiu had been holding the child the whole time, and her arms were numb, so she put the child on the table.

The child had just stopped crying because he was tired, but putting him down was like setting off a bomb; he started crying even louder.

The policewoman, who was also a mother, couldn't bear to hear this. She picked up the child, rocked and soothed him, and toddled him to the side.

Ye Qiu had already dialed Qin Xiaoyu's number when two passing policemen mentioned the name Qi Si, which startled her.

Lisheng answered the phone, and Ye Qiu heard him looking for Qin Xiaoyu.

She suddenly realized that this phone call was inappropriate; it would be troublesome if Qin Xiaoyu were implicated.
