Chapter 16: Eat Five Hundred Yuan in One Bite
Twenty minutes later.
Qiao Lan had a brief contact with Ye Qi again, and after a brief interrogation, he was let go.
"Goodbye, police officer! The bad guys must be severely punished!"
Before getting on the elevator, Qiao Lan clenched his fist to cheer Ye Qi and others up, looking like a simple and good student.
At this time, Ye Qi had already ordered his men to control No. 6's two accomplices here, and put them into the car together with No. 6 who was knocked unconscious by Qiao Lan.
The two unconscious investigators in the car were knocked unconscious by some kind of nerve anesthetic released by No. 6. Their lives are not in danger. They have been sent to the simple medical room inside the hotel for rest and will be sent to the hospital when the wind outside stops.
Ye Qi secretly ordered someone to check the surveillance footage of Qiao Lan taking the elevator downstairs and entering the B3 floor.
The picture shows that the person just went downstairs honestly, walked around, opened the door and looked around, and did nothing else.
When encountering bad guys, he will help them subdue them.
Standard good citizen behavior.
There's no reason to detain it, just let it go.
As for Qiao Lan taking away items from the hotel storage room, there was no surveillance in the warehouse, so Ye Qi really didn't see it.
"Thank you for just now."
Ye Qi nodded and said goodbye to Qiao Lan.
Even though there are many doubts about the fat girl, the operations of Uniform No. 6 were very sharp after all.
He could also forcibly detain Qiao Lan in the name of assisting in the investigation, but it would be meaningless.
It’s better to let her go and continue fishing.
"You're welcome, police officer, please be careful, the criminals are very cunning."
Qiao Lan smiled sweetly and behaved well.
The elevator door closed slowly.
But it slid open again.
Qiao Lan didn't leave. She pressed the door button and added, "It's very windy outside. You must pay attention to safety these days. Strong winds can really blow people away."
"good."
Ye Qi responded.
His eyes, as deep as obsidian, stared at Qiao Lan, unable to figure her out.
She spoke this safety reminder very seriously, which was completely different from her previous attempts to act cute and please others.
"Well, goodbye, police officer!"
"goodbye."
The elevator doors closed again.
The numbers on the panel showed negative 2 floors, negative 1 floor, and kept rising.
Ye Qi stared at the panel for a moment before turning around.
He wondered what the fat girl would do to surprise him next time they met.
Or, what secrets will she have that he will discover?
While Qiao Lan was in the elevator, he was muttering in his heart: Ye Gou, I hope that when the strong wind stops in ten days, you guys will still be alive.
She hated Ye Gou, that's for sure.
But public and private are clearly distinguished.
Ye Gou had caused her a lot of harm in the last days, it was a personal vendetta.
On the other hand, Ye Gou is definitely not a bad guy. During the apocalypse, he was feared for his strength and ruthlessness, but he never did anything that was against the will of heaven. From what we have seen and heard, he doesn't bully the weak and sometimes even lends a hand.
Now that they knew he was a policeman who had worked hard to lead the crowd to catch the bad guys, even if Qiao Lan was investigated by him, he knew that it was just bad luck that he was caught in the crossfire, so he didn't get angry.
Instead, I hope he can be safe and that the evil of Saint Yeshua can be nipped in the bud as soon as possible.
"Sister Lan, you're back!"
Half past twelve at night.
Qiao Lan took a tour of the two large kitchens of the hotel, found an excuse to sneak in and secretly took away some ingredients. When he returned to the dining hall, Xiao Li immediately came to greet him excitedly.
"Sister Lan, the wind has stopped outside."
"Stopped?"
"Yeah, it just stopped. Now there's no wind downstairs at all!"
Qiao Lan followed Xiao Li to the window and took a look. It was true. In the light of the surviving street lamps, it was calm outside, with flags hanging low and not a trace of wind.
Only broken trees and overturned cars lying everywhere proved that a strong wind had indeed blown.
"There were also strong winds in the city center. Several buildings in old residential areas collapsed. The casualties are still unknown!"
"The wind has died down here, but it's still blowing in some places!"
"Oh my! The weather forecast is so inaccurate! Didn't they say the typhoon would pass tomorrow? Why is it blowing in the middle of the night?"
"Even if the forecast is accurate, what's the point? If it comes today, the building will collapse tomorrow. If it comes tomorrow, the building will collapse tomorrow. Which old, dilapidated building can withstand this kind of wind?"
People around were talking about it.
My phone was buzzing with messages.
There are all kinds of videos of the strong wind on the scene in the circle of friends. Many big accounts on the Douyin platform repost or live broadcast the storm scene. Cell phones ring one after another in the hall, and everyone exchanges their experiences with relatives and friends in and outside the city.
It was late at night, time for bed, but the sudden strong winds in several districts of City C woke everyone up from their sleepiness.
"Isn't this our neighborhood? Oh my god! Our house, our home for decades..."
Suddenly there was a scream.
An old lady recognized the house she had lived in for half her life in a storm video.
The whole old building was blown down by the wind and became a ruin.
The shot was from a distance and the street lights were dim, so it looked really scary.
"There are so many people living in this building!" The old lady trembled with fear, and her phone dropped to the ground. "How many people will die... Son, it's a good thing you insisted on bringing me here for dinner, otherwise..."
"Mom, I'm not afraid. Don't get excited. Control your blood pressure. Don't get excited!"
The one hugging the old lady was the grain store owner.
He brought his wife, children and mother to dinner in order to follow Qiao Lan's instructions and please his financial sponsor.
I thought that since Qiao Lan was stupid and had a lot of money, and she was willing to invite big guests and make a big fuss, I should just satisfy her.
Eating at a high-end restaurant is a rare opportunity, so it’s a waste not to take advantage of the bargain.
I didn't expect that I would get such a great deal this time that I actually saved my mother's life.
"Boss Qiao, where is Boss Qiao? Boss Qiao, you are my mother's savior!"
Leaving his mother behind, he searched the entire field for Qiao Lan, wanting to say thank you.
But Qiao Lan had already left.
Xiao Li booked a room upstairs. At this time, Qiao Lan, Xiao Tang and Xiao Li were already in the elevator.
It’s not that we do good deeds without leaving our name.
As I said, Qiao Lan didn't want to have anything to do with the people in the hall anymore.
They all knew each other, so she just saved their lives. What happened next? She didn't care about that!
"Sister Lan, this is it."
After getting off the elevator, Xiao Li swiped open the door of a suite.
The hotel rooms are quite large, with three bedrooms and two living rooms, two bedrooms and a study, and are luxuriously decorated.
Located on a high floor, overlooking the city night view.
More than four thousand yuan a night.
Qiao Lan walked into the room and looked around. He was quite satisfied. "Not bad."
There is also a small kitchen with a few simple kitchen utensils. You can call the hotel chef to serve you on site at any time. The cost is included in the room rate.
Unless the guests want to eat precious ingredients, they have to pay extra.
"What are you waiting for, Xiao Li? Give us all the money in your card and ask the chef to come up and cook."
"OK!"
"Oh, don't you feel bad?"
"It's all my sister's salary anyway. I can earn more after I spend it. Just don't fire me, haha!"
Xiao Li, like Qiao Lan, has no relatives.
She lost her mother when she was a child, and later her father went out to work and never returned. I heard that he had a new family outside and had not taken care of her for more than ten years, so she just treated him as if he didn't exist.
The grandfather who raised her passed away last year, and she was completely alone. She got along well with Qiao Lan and treated her as her own sister.
Seeing that Qiao Lan wanted to enjoy the hotel service, he immediately called the service desk.
Two chefs arrived immediately with the ingredients and demonstrated how to make and eat sushi on the spot.
Freshly caught fish flown in that day.
Dipped in authentic premium imported mustard.
It is served with soft and sticky rice, which comes from the same producing area as the mustard, ensuring the taste is compatible.
That taste...
Qiao Lan squinted his eyes as he ate.
After the end of the world, not to mention this kind of high-end sushi, even the affordable conveyor belt sushi at 40 yuan per person is no longer available.
Unfortunately, there was only a little over 3,000 yuan on Xiao Li's card. Qiao Lan, Xiao Tang and Xiao Li each ate two pieces of sushi and spent all the money.
The average price of a piece of sushi is five or six hundred yuan.
You can eat it in one bite.
The cost of high-end ingredients is so expensive, and there are even more expensive ones. It is not uncommon to spend thousands or even tens of thousands for a single bite, but the Tsui Wah Hotel cannot provide them.
Xiao Tang has been following Qiao Lan obediently.
Just check in when you are asked to, eat when you are asked to, and don’t say too much.
Seeing that Qiao Lan was enjoying the meal, he opened his mobile phone account and showed Qiao Lan the balance.
There was still more than 10,000 yuan left from the shopping money given by Qiao Lan, and he also had more than 30,000 yuan in savings.
"Sister Lan, eat as much as you want. These are all for you."
He has dark skin and regular features. When he is serious, his eyes are clear and bright, reflecting Qiao Lan's shadow.
