After hearing about Rong Liya, Chen Zao decided to stop selling Stone Carving for now and go take care of Rong Liya instead, so he wouldn't keep worrying about her.
He had already inquired and knew that Rong Liya was not staying at the low-end hotel with the Zhao Feiyan film crew in Film and Television City. Instead, she was staying at Yuehao Hotel in the county town.
This was the highest-rated hotel in Gulan County, reaching a quasi-three-star standard.
Before opening Braised Meat Sandwich, Chen Zao had worked as a chef at Yuehao for two months, so he was very familiar with the layout of the hotel.
After confirming which suite Rong Liya was staying in, Chen Zao rode his motorcycle over to the hotel that night.
He planned to wait until Rong Liya was asleep, sneak into her room, and administer Beast Oil to her.
As long as she consumed Beast Oil, no matter how severe her Deep Sea Virus infection was, she should be able to recover.
However, for the next two or three days, Rong Liya would definitely have a foul smell about her, but Chen Zao couldn't worry about that.
Dressed in all black suitable for nighttime activities, he had also changed the bandage on his right arm to black and wore a black baseball cap. With his naturally dark complexion, Chen Zao's outfit made him nearly invisible in the shadows.
As midnight approached, Chen Zao arrived near Yuehao.
From a distance, he glanced up at the hotel's top floor.
The lights in the executive room where Rong Liya was staying were all off; she must have been asleep.
Chen Zao decided it was time to act.
He parked the motorcycle at a distance and made his way toward the hotel alone.
The area around the hotel was quiet at that moment.
Inside the luxurious hotel lobby, two not-so-professional female attendants were chatting and playing on their phones at the front desk.
Next to a trash can at the hotel entrance, a dirty stray dog was pitifully scavenging for food, which caught Chen Zao's attention.
Seeing the frail Yellow Dog reminded Chen Zao of children rummaging through garbage in a post-apocalyptic world, and it also brought back memories of his own childhood.
A moment of tenderness flashed in his tiger-like eyes.
Chen Zao pulled out a can of meat from his storage space, avoiding the surveillance cameras and the hotel staff's gaze, and approached the Yellow Dog.
He made a sound with his mouth: "Tsk tsk—come here."
He called the Yellow Dog over and offered it the can of meat.
Just as Chen Zao focused his attention on the Stray Dog, he failed to notice that the lights in the living room of Rong Liya's Executive Suite had turned on.
"In a year’s time, people won’t even be able to eat this kind of canned meat. You’re lucky to have it; enjoy your meal. If you want to live, run westward; there’s a paradise waiting for you built by a silly girl who loves hardship. Alright, go lick the can now. Don’t follow me; I have things to do. Maybe we’ll meet again."
After feeding the Yellow Dog, Chen Zao did not look up at the top floor again. He headed straight for the back door of the hotel and entered through the safety passage.
With his enhanced physique, he climbed the stairs all the way to the top floor in one breath.
He pried open the large door of the platform, using the cover of night. Dressed in black and wearing a black baseball cap, he moved like a black panther onto the hotel platform.
Yuehao Hotel is the tallest building in Gulan County Town.
Standing on the platform of Yuehao, with good air quality, one could overlook the quaint and ordinary Gulan County Town laid out beneath.
But at night, nothing could be seen.
Unlike Chang'an, which is a bustling metropolis that never sleeps, Gulan County is just a simple county town.
During his time working as a chef at Yuehao, Chen Zao often came up to this platform to smoke and slack off.
Although a long time has passed, Chen Zao still felt very familiar with this place.
Crouching down, Chen Zao made his way to directly above the Executive Suite where Rong Liya was staying.
There was a layer separating the platform from the Executive Suite, and he had to descend about two meters to reach the suite's balcony.
Chen Zao reached the railing and leaned over to take a look down.
The light spilling from the suite's living room caused Chen Zao's brows to furrow.
"What’s going on? Why are the lights on again?"
The open-view balcony of the suite downstairs is spacious, connecting the living room and bedroom.
Chen Zao remained calm, not jumping down recklessly. Instead, he quietly tied a safety rope to the railing and waited for Rong Liya to turn off the lights and fall into a deep sleep before making his descent.
Due to his enhanced genes, Chen Zao's auditory and visual systems were significantly stronger than those of an average person.
Once he calmed down, Chen Zao faintly heard a man and a woman conversing in the living room downstairs.
The window in the living room might have been slightly ajar, making it difficult for Chen Zao to clearly hear what was being said inside.
He could only catch snippets when the other party's voices grew louder due to heightened emotions.
As he listened, Chen Zao gradually understood the gist of their conversation.
The man was shouting about wanting to take revenge on the pervert who had made Rong Liya sick and injured her brother—wasn't that referring to him?
"Damn it, are they plotting revenge against me?"
Chen Zao couldn't help but feel amused and exasperated.
He decided to take the risk and sneak down closer to hear exactly how those two intended to retaliate against him.
After testing the security of the rope, he shifted his body out onto the ledge and climbed over the railing.
Behind him was a drop of several dozen meters; for an ordinary person, just looking down would be enough to make them dizzy.
Chen Zao, however, was bold and had developed a daredevil mentality through the trials of the apocalypse, so he was not afraid of such heights.
Holding his breath and relying on his strong physical control, he descended onto the balcony of the suite with one hand's strength.
As soon as his feet touched the ground, Chen Zao immediately unfastened the buckle tied around his waist, freeing himself from the safety rope and quietly disappearing into the visual blind spot of the balcony wall.
As he got closer, the conversation between Rong Liya and that man inside fell into Chen Zao's keen ears like a dog listening intently—
“Sheng Ge, can you stop meddling in my affairs? I can handle this myself.”
“What do you mean by meddling? Yaya, you should know how I feel about you. Your matters are my matters. Anyone who dares to bully you is challenging me, Qin Sheng! I will make them regret it!”
“Sheng Ge, thank you for caring so much about me, but really, please don’t get involved. I don’t want to escalate things; it would have a very negative impact on me!”
“Don’t worry about me handling it. This matter will not implicate you at all. I’ll secretly take care of that pervert. Isn’t he just a guy selling Roujiamo in the mountains? I could bury him and no one would ever know!”
“Don’t do anything reckless!” Hearing Qin Sheng talk about killing someone made Rong Liya anxious, and she reprimanded him sternly.
“Heh heh, I was just joking. I won’t really bury him; at most, I’ll just break both his hands and see if he dares to be arrogant again! If that doesn’t satisfy me, I might just ruin his eyes too. Let’s see how he spies on others after that!”
Chen Zao listened outside, feeling both angry and amused—break my hands? My eyes? You really think you’re capable!
