460 Muddled Through
“Who else could it be if not me?” Chu Yan replied.
Lu Benwei heaved a sigh of relief and imagined Chu Yan’s face when she said this, shaking her head, she gritted her little canine teeth and revealed a faint smile.
“Where are you now?” Lu Benwei asked again.
“In a room in the hotel,” Chu Yan answered indifferently.
!!
The next second, she said, “Hey, annoying fellow, am I going to be snatched away? Are you coming to pick me up?”
Obviously, Chu Yan also knew about the Wang family’s goal and the Zhu family’s evil intentions.
There was a moment of silence.
“We will!”
“Pfft!” Chu Yan laughed out loud on the other end of the phone.
“Stop dreaming. I’ve already promised him.”
“What did you just say?”
Lu Benwei’s body was cold to the freezing point.
“I said I’ve already agreed to the Zhu family’s request.”
On the other end of the phone, Chu Yan gritted her little canine teeth and a faint smile appeared on her face.
“Why?”
“You tell me why?”
“Du du du…”
Lu Benwei asked repeatedly, but all he got was a mechanical toot sound.
Fan Peng’s and Gan Yan’s expressions were extremely ugly, their faces covered in dark clouds. “Lu Benwei, calm down!”
“Yes, don’t be impulsive! There’s a bunch of influential people and powerful people upstairs.”
“If you rush in rashly now, it’s very likely that you’ll be surrounded and killed on the spot,”
“Hahahaha…”
Lu Benwei laughed hysterically, and the two were so scared that their faces turned pale.
The laughter only stopped after a long time.
Fan Peng and Gan Yan looked at Lu Benwei and muttered in their hearts, ‘How is that possible?’
Lu Benwei moved and made a very soft sound, so the two could not hear him clearly.
“How could Chu Yan agree to the Zhu family’s request? She just got in touch with the Zhu family not long ago… There must be something hidden from me.”
When the two heard Lu Benwei’s words, they were happy. It was good that Lu Benwei was not impulsive.
However, Fan Peng was still a little nervous. He asked, “Lu Benwei, what should we do now?”
“The debt with the Zhu family has to be settled,” Lu Benwei said very calmly, “But before that, I have to figure out what happened to Chu Yan in the past few hours that made her agree to the Zhu family’s request. Fan Peng, I need your help.”
“Go ahead,” Fan Peng said without hesitation.
“I need to find a way to meet Chu Yan, can you help me disguise myself?”
“That’s not a problem,”
“Gan Yan, I need you to sneak out and meet us at the door,” Lu Benwei said to Gan Yan.
“No problem!”
“Lu Benwei, you wait here first. I’ll go get a set of server clothes.”
After saying that, Fan Peng and Gan Yan began to split up.
Lu Benwei did not stay idle and dialed a phone number.
“Beeping…”
“Beeping…”
After a few beeps, the person picked up the phone.
“Hello, who’s this?”
“Mr. Principal, it’s me!”
…
At the same time, in the most luxurious suite of the Dragon City Hotel.
Chu Yan put down the phone.
“Annoying fellow…”
Hot tears rolled down from the corner of Chu Yan’s eyes and flowed down her perfect face. Her eyes were like water, rippling with blue waves.
If there was anyone else here, they would definitely curse. Who was it that had hurt this lovely person’s heart!
This was the second time Chu Yan had cried. However, this time, these were happy tears. Chu Yan wiped the tears from the corner of her eyes, took a deep breath, and walked out of the room.
“I want to see the Zhu family’s head,” Chu Yan said coldly to the guards outside the door.
On the other side, Fan Peng found the room where Chu Yan was and helped change Lu Benwei’s clothes.
“I’ll call a dining cart for you later. You can push it up to the 23rd floor. Chu Yan is in the room at the end of the corridor.”
Fan Peng helped Lu Benwei with his tie and helped him tidy up his waiter’s suit.
...
Lu Benwei spread out his hands and reluctantly let Fan Peng help.
“F*ck you! fan Peng cursed. “This old man’s birthday is so grand. Everyone in public must wear formal clothes.”
The two men were very close to each other, and their posture was quite ambiguous.
“The 23rd floor is for Presidential Suites, so the dining cart is to be delivered by special staff with formal clothes, but I can’t get you that outfit. Go to the 22nd floor first and then push the dining cart up.”
Fan Peng continued to urge.
Dragon City Hotel had strict management.
If Lu Benwei did not have a “proper” reason, he would not even be able to get into the elevator. Sending food to the 22nd floor was a “proper” reason.
Lu Benwei left the room first and went straight to the staff elevator.
Fan Peng hurried up to the second floor, then went downstairs, and went to the staff elevator from the other direction.
Ding! Ding!
The elevator door opened and Lu Benwei slowly pushed the dining cart in.
...
“Which floor?”
Even though it was a staff elevator, Dragon City Hotel had arranged for a staff member to help press the floor.
Many people were attending the banquet today, so it was inevitable that some dignitaries could not get into the elevator in time and ran to the staff elevator.
To reflect the meticulous and human nature of the Dragon City Hotel, a manager came up with this little idea.
“22nd floor,” Lu Benwei said lightly.
“Oh,” the person replied, “Do it yourself.”
Lu Benwei’s mouth twitched.
‘You were just asking me which floor it was!’
After pressing the floor button, the elevator door slowly closed. At this moment, a muscular figure ran over at high speed.
“Wait, don’t go yet.”
Lu Benwei helplessly pressed the open button again.
Fan Peng squeezed in.
The staff elevator was small to begin with, and there were dining carts.
Fan Peng “could only” squeeze toward another employee.
“Brother, I’m sorry!”
Fan Peng smiled apologetically.
The employee rolled his eyes and looked up. He could only see the top of the elevator and a face smiling like an idiot.
“Brother, how long have you been here?”
It’s been half a year, right?” the employee answered reluctantly, not wanting to have anything to do with this chatterbox.
“It’s been so long. Last week, I received 1,000 gold coins from six until midnight when I was looking for someone in the hotel!”
Fan Peng continued to jabber on and on, trying to distract the staff.
“Ding! We’ve reached the 22nd floor!” The mechanical sound of the elevator notification came.
Fan Peng smacked his head. “Oh, I was so engrossed in chatting with you. I forgot to press the elevator button. But it’s quite lucky that this brother is also going to the 22nd floor!”
Lu Benwei pretended not to know Fan Peng and gave a faint hum.
“You’re going to deliver your food, right? Let me help you!”
Then, he walked out of the elevator and helped Lu Benwei pull the dining cart.
“I say, isn’t the banquet starting soon? Why is someone still ordering?” Fan Peng continued to jabber on, pretending to be a chatterbox.
The staff in the elevator sighed and looked at Lu Benwei sympathetically before closing the elevator door.
