Meanwhile, on the 15th floor of the same building, in room 1506.
Ye Guangyu lay sprawled on the sofa, his shirt pulled up to reveal a patch of purplish-blue bruises on his lower back, which had been treated with medication. His face was filled with malice as he pounded the sofa in frustration.
"That bitch dared to hit me. When my dad comes, I'll make her wish she were dead."
He had already thought of a thousand ways to torture Li Xin'er, and his face contorted as he thought about them.
Standing by the window, Wu Rui remained silent upon hearing this. He had heard these harsh words countless times since returning from upstairs.
Having 'escaped' from someone else's clutches, this young master thinks he's got it all figured out again...
Wu Rui pushed up his glasses, a hint of mockery flashing in his eyes, and continued fiddling with his phone.
Ye Guangyu was furious and had nowhere to vent his anger. Seeing Wu Rui standing there was an eyesore, so he grabbed a glass ashtray from the coffee table and smashed it over there.
"You piece of trash, still haven't you made contact?"
His movements were restricted as he lay prone, so the ashtray didn't hit Wu Rui; instead, it hit the wall next to him and fell onto the carpet.
Wu Rui glanced down at it; the ashtray was of good quality, it hadn't broken.
His eyes were full of malice, like a venomous snake coiled around his body, lurking in the shadows, waiting for its chance to strike.
When he looked up, he was like a loyal sycophant, his tone ingratiating and flattering.
"Don't worry, Young Master Ye. President Ye knows we're staying at this hotel. If we don't receive any news, he'll send someone to find you soon. We just need to wait here."
Because of Yi Yeming's love for his only son, as long as he was alive, he would absolutely come looking for him.
The Ye family is powerful. Whether before or after the apocalypse, the power of capital should not be underestimated. This is why he can tolerate this good-for-nothing young master's arrogance.
No rush, just be patient a little longer.
Ye Guangyu was completely oblivious to his unease and continued to yell and rage.
"What use are you? You call yourself an all-around assistant, but my dad spent so much money to hire you. You're utterly useless, all you do is wait and wait!"
"I've told you so many times, I want to go back right now! Now!"
Although the room is soundproofed, it's still impossible to completely block out loud noises.
As soon as he finished roaring, the zombies locked inside the rooms on this floor started to stir and make all sorts of hoarse noises.
"Young Master Ye, do you want us to leave now and walk back?"
Wu Rui smiled gently, but it looked quite eerie.
Ye Guangyu felt a strange sense of dread from being stared at, as if he were being watched by some wild beast.
He shifted his gaze to the injured bodyguard, Ali, and shrank back, his previous arrogance gone.
Even if he were stupid, he would know that going out now would be suicide, not to mention that he and his bodyguard were injured.
Although he stopped demanding to go back, he didn't stop either, sweeping the snacks off the coffee table and ordering:
"I want steak and hot food. Go get it for me."
He couldn't stand eating snacks in the morning and at noon; now he feels like vomiting just looking at snacks.
"Okay, let's go look for it. There are restaurants on the floors below the sixth floor, so there should be something to eat."
Wu Rui readily agreed. He wasn't the type to sit around waiting to die; if he wanted to gather more useful information, he needed to go out and investigate more.
But he won't go alone; when he said "we," he meant he would bring Ali along.
The zombies in the next house were still grumbling, so Ye Guangyu dared not stay in the house alone.
"You go alone!"
Wu Rui looked helpless and shrugged in resignation.
"Young Master Ye also said I'm useless. I really don't dare to go downstairs alone."
Ye Guangyu wanted to say something more, but Wu Rui interrupted and continued:
"If I go alone and something happens, what will happen to Young Master Ye and Ali..."
He gestured with his eyes, indicating that both of them were half-crippled and wouldn't have a good life without him.
As soon as Ali heard that they were going to find food, he endured the pain in his internal organs and struggled to sit up.
He kept his mission firmly in mind and followed his boss's instructions no matter what.
Ye Guangyu was speechless for a moment, then backed down and demanded:
"Then I'll go with you."
Anyway, he won't stay in the house alone. What if the two of them abandon him and run away?
This suited Wu Rui's purposes perfectly. Before confirming Ye Ming's fate, this useless young master was still of use.
"That would be the best way."
The three of them walked together down the stairs, not daring to look at the other floors along the way, and went straight to their destination, the sixth floor.
When I arrived on the 6th floor, I heard a lot of noise inside, and quite a few people were listening.
The three looked at each other, surprised that there were so many people here.
Before they could consider their next move, the people inside spotted them.
"Someone's coming."
A man in his thirties with a buzz cut, dressed in a chef's uniform, spoke up.
Everyone's gaze then turned to the door in the stairwell.
Seeing this, the three had no choice but to bite the bullet and push the door open. Wu Rui was the first to greet them in a friendly manner.
"Excuse me, we are guests staying on the 15th floor. We came down to find something to eat."
The sixth floor houses the building's free breakfast restaurant, which is also buffet-style, but much simpler than the buffet upstairs.
The uniform wooden tables and chairs make it look more like a high-end cafeteria.
Inside the restaurant, there were more than a dozen people, men, women, young and old, sitting around several tables, on which were placed steamed buns, cold dishes and porridge.
Sitting at the table in the very center was a man in his forties or fifties, wearing a thin blue down jacket. He was slightly overweight, had slicked-back hair, and sausage lips.
He stood up and greeted the three of them warmly.
"Oh, it's on the 15th floor. Perfect, we just heated up some steamed buns and mantou, come and eat with us."
