Chapter 75: A Real-Life Version of Final Destination
Xia Chenggan brought his family to dinner.
This is a luxurious upscale restaurant, the most distinctive feature of which is the glass-enclosed restaurant on the rooftop.
The entire restaurant is made of thick glass, both overhead and underfoot; standing on it feels like standing in the sky.
Xia Chengping exclaimed in surprise.
"Brother, you're amazing! You managed to book a spot here. This is the super popular Sky City, and reservations are already booked until next year."
Young people are very active online, and recently a lot of people have been promoting this restaurant.
This is a unique panoramic restaurant where you can experience the wonderful feeling of floating in the air while dining.
Seeing that Xia Chengping liked it, Xia Chenggan nodded.
"It's really hard to get a spot, but since we're all free, I thought I'd take you all for a walk around."
Looking at the restaurant in front of her, Zhou Ran had a bad feeling for a moment.
He looked at Xia Chenggan, ignoring the disappointment, and asked.
"Xia Chenggan?"
"Hmm, what's wrong?"
Do you usually watch movies?
"Aren't you going to watch it? I don't have time."
"Before we go up, we need to give you a brief overview of the latest movies before you decide whether you want to go up for dinner."
"Watching a movie before dinner, isn't it supposed to be after dinner?"
Xia Chengping asked with a clear, foolish tone, "Isn't the normal order of a date shopping, eating, watching a movie, and then spending the night in a hotel?"
"You're quite knowledgeable! Are you in a relationship?"
Faced with the unanimous questioning from Xia Chenggan and Zhou Ran.
Xia Chengping shrank back. He retorted evasively.
"Even though I haven't been in a relationship, I know the process. I can't be caught off guard if I meet the right girl in the future!"
Xia Chengping became more and more confident as he spoke.
"Don't interrupt, I think you need to watch a movie before going up."
Seeing Zhou Ran's insistence, Xia Chenggan nodded directly, "Alright, let's go in and open a video room to take a look."
Xia's parents had no objections, since they had already finished eating.
Not wanting to spoil the children's fun, Xia Chenggan insisted that they come and have a turn.
They just came along for a stroll, and now that their itinerary has been changed to go see a movie, they can do that too.
The main point is to avoid being a spoilsport.
Xia Chengjie was still in the same dead state, half-dead, nodding weakly and dejectedly.
He didn't want to come; he wanted to grow mushrooms at home. He was dragged here by a group of people.
As for Xia Cheng'an's sensible decision not to refuse, he felt that Zhou Ran must have his own reasons for doing so.
Only Xia Chengping looked unhappy. "We're all here, what's the point of watching a movie?"
"How about I go upstairs and order first, then you can come and eat after you finish watching the movie?"
Xia Chengping had a well-thought-out plan. He would go up and take pictures first, and then post them on his WeChat Moments to show his friends where he, Young Master Xia, was.
Let them be so envious they'll be digging into the wall, just thinking about it makes me feel so good, hehehe!
Zhou Ran didn't speak, but beckoned with her finger.
Xia Chengping leaned closer, assuming Zhou Ran wanted to whisper something to him.
Zhou Ran grabbed Xia Chengping's ear.
They pulled the person inside.
"Hey, Brother Zhou, check this, this is my ear, not a pig's ear."
"You're not even as smart as a pig."
Xia Chenggan chuckled as he watched the two figures disappear into the distance. He quickly caught up and had someone lead them to the audiovisual room.
This place is more of an entertainment center than a restaurant; you can find any kind of entertainment you can think of here.
Moreover, most of them are membership-based, requiring not only money but also a certain status.
Otherwise, you won't be able to get into this restaurant.
Some people call this place a paradise for the rich and powerful, while ordinary people cannot enter this paradise.
But the wealthy can have whatever they want.
Xia Chenggan was one of the wealthiest among the wealthy.
Their home theater was quickly set up, and they went straight in.
As per Zhou Ran's request, a movie was arranged.
Zhou Ran fast-forwarded directly to the part he wanted Xia Chenggan to see.
When everyone saw the title of the opening credits, "Final Destination," they were all stunned for a moment.
Did they come to watch a horror movie?
Before anyone could say anything, a couple arrived at a restaurant.
As the elevator ascended, the staff inside introduced the restaurant.
The more I talked about it, the more familiar it felt.
As the movie fast-forwarded, they watched in disbelief as the once peaceful and lively restaurant began to change.
A bottle cork hit the crystal chandelier, and then the sharp crystal chandelier part pierced the thick glass floor, causing a crack.
As the crowd danced, the cracks widened and collapsed in an instant.
The people who were just dancing wildly fell from the sky like dumplings being dropped into boiling water, and were smashed into a bloody pulp.
A coin damaged a gas pipe, a chef was knocked down by running people while cooking oil was sizzling, and a woman was engulfed in flames.
While running for help, they ignited the gas, and flames and explosions quickly swept through the entire panoramic restaurant.
People fled in panic, and screams echoed everywhere.
Service staff were guiding people up the stairs when the stairs collapsed instantly, taking a number of lives.
The elevator was overcrowded, and as the elevator became too heavy, it plummeted, and no one survived.
The movie continued, and the family watching it fell silent.
This isn't a panoramic sunroof; it's like the whole family is going to die!
The thought of them going upstairs to eat made me shudder.
Xia Chengping, who had been shouting the loudest, turned pale with anger and dared not mention the matter of going ahead of schedule again.
Once the segment ended, Zhou Ran promptly turned off the movie; he had seen everything he wanted them to see.
Zhou Ran smiled and looked at everyone, "Are we still going to the restaurant?"
They all shook their heads in unison, their faces pale; they hadn't lived enough yet.
Zhou Ran looked at Xia Chenggan and asked, "Can you tell me who suggested you eat at this shabby place?"
Xia Chenggan understood his meaning and thought about it carefully.
"These are dates from the list my secretary recommended, booked three months in advance for three days from now."
The restaurant gave a last-minute notice that one of the guests had cancelled their reservation.
The restaurant proactively called to ask if I had made a reservation. I've been quite busy lately, but I thought it was a good idea to go out for a meal to relax, so I agreed.
"It seems you need to investigate. Someone has plotted against you. You should check if someone has already made preparations up there."
Such a large building is not so easy to blow up.
"Make a little disturbance, and get us old women here..."
Zhou Ran glanced at Xia Chenggan's leg and added, "Crippled, it's easy to secretly stage an accidental death."
Xia Chenggan ignored Zhou Ran's teasing remarks.
His eyes turned dangerous; he had set a trap to kill their entire family.
These people have repeatedly provoked us; they truly deserve to die!
"It's not safe here. I'll send someone to take you back."
"It's best not to; this is probably the safest place."
Zhou Ran stopped Xia Chengan, saying that the operation wouldn't begin until they were sure they had reached the top floor.
If I suddenly leave, they might become desperate and do something drastic.
“I sent people to find them; these people are really audacious.”
Xia Chenggan started making phone calls. He didn't own any shares in the restaurant, but a friend did, and he knew the person behind it.
Zhou Ran and Xia Chenggan were very efficient and decisive, and they arranged everything perfectly right there in the room.
"Oh my, as expected of... you." This ultimate villain really does have that kind of aura.
After having all her luck stolen, she still managed to become the villain and almost killed the idiot protagonist Gu Tingxiao. Her abilities are not to be underestimated.
This person's work efficiency and responsiveness are top-notch!
"You don't mind if I get involved, do you?"
"I don't mind!"
Xia Chenggan looked at Zhou Ran and gave the answer directly, though he had some doubts in his heart.
How does Zhou Ran plan to intervene in this matter?
Zhou Ran took her phone and went to the side to make a call, looking mysterious.
The rooftop restaurant offers panoramic views.
The waiter carried the dishes to the designated table.
"Your dishes are all ready. Please enjoy your meal. Feel free to call me anytime if you need anything."
"Um."
The waiter respectfully withdrew, and the earpiece in his ear started playing a sound.
"What's going on? Is it this time?"
"Yes, we received the reservation message. It's almost here. Please be careful."
The waiter found a quiet corner and replied in a low voice.
"Ask him, number three, isn't he supposed to be keeping watch at the door?"
Number Three's voice came from inside.
"I just saw them arrive, get off the bus, and go inside."
"What? They've already come in? Why didn't they warn us?"
"The target is lost; I don't know where it suddenly went. I can't find it when I go in."
Number Three, upon hearing the complaints, also felt helpless.
He wanted to go, but this wasteful restaurant was members-only.
He doesn't even have a membership, that's why he was assigned to wait outside.
"Number Two, go and ask around, but don't let it get out."
The waiter rolled his eyes when he heard what was said through the earpiece.
What terrible teammates! I really regret taking on this task.
He continued to reply through his earpiece.
"Okay, I'll go find out."
The waiter straightened his clothes and walked over to the supervisor.
"Head waiter, this customer needs another set of cutlery."
"Okay, go get it. Make sure to take good care of them; they are all honored guests."
"good."
The waiter went to get the cutlery, chatting with the head waiter in the meantime.
Then the topic shifted to Xia Chenggan.
"Foreman, I heard a very important person is coming today? Will we be able to meet them? How important is they?"
When the waiter mentioned this, all the other waiters who were temporarily free looked over.
They had heard a few days ago that there was a special reservation for today.
The best seats in the entire restaurant have long been vacant.
To ensure the privacy of the guests, flowers, plants, and curtains were specially arranged outside to block the view.
They also considered the user experience, making it detachable so that you can remove it if you don't like it anymore.
They worked for over an hour to set up the curtains.
I heard it was to entertain a very important person. In their high-end restaurant, who could be considered an important person?
Everyone is curious, and when someone asks a question, they can't help but prick up their ears to listen.
"Don't pry into things that aren't your business. Suppress your curiosity and focus on your own tasks."
The foreman's face darkened, and he warned them.
Everyone suppressed their curiosity; the job paid well, offered good benefits, included insurance, and didn't require them to accompany guests.
They didn't want to lose such a good job for nothing.
The waiter readily agreed not to ask any more questions, picked up his cutlery and left, cursing the supervisor several times in his mind, planning to deal with the supervisor as well when he got to work.
He didn't see the subtle, unspoken meaning in the foreman's gaze as he watched his retreating figure. Author's Note: Thank you to my mentor 9492239 (9492239) for your support! For more exciting content, please leave a message for this book on Liancheng Reading.
