After The Fall Of The Earth, My Hotel Became Popular - Chapter 31

　Seeing that Huang Ya was about to fall unconscious and faint, Wen Bei, who had witnessed the entire one-sided fight, opened the door and frowned: “Stop it.”

　　Qiu Tin turned to look at him, his scarlet eyes turned into vertical pupils due to the murderous intent, looking extremely cold: “Don’t you want me to kill him?”

　　The corners of his mouth became straight, and a drop of blood was splashed on his face at some point, like a red tear stain under his eyes.

　　Huang Ya struggled to raise his head from the ground to look at Wen Bei. At that moment, the young man was like an angel in his eyes. Not only did he have an angelic face, but he was also as kind as an angel.

　　Huangya opened his mouth, his front teeth were gone: “AHHHHH!”

　　The angel lowered his head, his black and white eyes clearly reflected his embarrassed figure, and then in the most innocent tone, he said the cruellest words: “Don’t leave the garbage at the door.”

　　Huang Ya rolled his eyes, finally couldn’t hold on anymore and lost his consciousness.

　　Wen Bei: ?

　　He hadn’t realised how much impact his words had on Huang Ya.

　　In Wen Bei’s eyes, Huang Ya was simply an eyesore.

　　Qiu Tin suddenly laughed again, and a smile appeared in his eyes. He suddenly stepped on Huang Ya’s belly, waking him up again, his thin lips moved and spat out: “Get out.”

　　Huang Ya felt so painful that he almost died, but he didn’t dare to faint again. He crawled and rolled away to escape, as if there was a terrifying monster behind him that could eat people.

　　Qiu Tin followed Wen Bei into the room, seemingly in a great mood: “Little fox, where did you go to play today?”

Chapter 27

　　Hearing his question, Wen Bei inexplicably remembered the sad appearance of the girl’s corpse.

　　He didn’t answer, but his black eyelashes trembled, showing a bit of confusion.

　　He quickly put away his thoughts and turned to look at the man: “Why did you return so early today?”

　　Qiu Tin raised his eyebrows: “You care about me?”

　　The black mist reappeared at some point, wrapping around Wen Bei’s fingers intimately, passing through the gaps between his fingers and lingering between them.

　　Wen Bei couldn’t shake it off, so resigning to his fate, he went to pour himself some water: “I’m just curious about what you’ve been up to in these two days.”

　　Qiu Tin chuckled: “I was doing something, but it’s done now.”

　　Had he really gone out to cause trouble?

　　Wen Bei warned him: “Don’t cause trouble for me. I came to the base with a goal.”

　　Rather than having a goal, it was better to say that it was an ambition.

　　What he wanted was more than simply opening up sales for the hotel. Simply soliciting customers could no longer meet his needs.

　　Letting the Hotel become the ultimate backing of mankind was what he wanted.

　　Wen Bei’s eyes flashed, revealing something different from his usual gentle attitude determined to win, like the tip of a knife that was just beginning to shine with cold light.

　　Qiu Tin chuckled lightly.

　　There was a knock on the door.

　　Who would dare to show up at this time?

　　Wen Bei hesitated for a moment, worried that Ruan Tiantian was annoying again.

　　The person behind the door seemed to have felt his hesitation, and took the initiative to speak up: “It’s me.”

　　Wen Bei was a little surprised and opened the door: “Brother Cheng?”

　　Cheng Jie scratched his head in embarrassment: “I heard that Tiantian has been causing trouble for you every day, so I was worried and came here to have a look.”

　　Wen Bei shook his head and said it was okay: “Why are you not in the factory?”

　　There was a hint of sigh on Cheng Jie’s face: “Since another death occurred in the factory, the employees began panicking, so the supervisor let everyone rest in the afternoon.”

　　After the death of so many people, everyone only got one afternoon off to rest. If the bodies hadn’t been discovered directly in the factory, then maybe they wouldn’t even get that opportunity to rest.

　　Was the situation worthy of describing it as the end of the world?

　　Wen Bei frowned: “I wonder how the investigation is going.”

　　Cheng Jie: “Captain Lan has taken over this matter. The truth should come to light soon.”

　　Wen Bei: “Why do you say that?”

　　Chengjie: “Captain Lan’s superpower is related to reasoning. That girl is a good child. When she signed the contract yesterday, she said that she and her younger brother were the only ones left in the family.”

　　He showed a pitiful expression.

　　Wen Bei nodded and ended the topic: “Brother Cheng, I’m fine. You should pay more attention to yourself.”

　　Cheng Jie couldn’t help but open his deformed mouth again: “Well, Tiantian is actually not such a bad person.”

　　Wen Bei: “Brother Cheng, do you know why he wants to live here?”

　　For someone like Ruan Tiantian who knew how to follow the crowd, it was strange that he would choose a guest house.

　　Cheng Jie’s expression changed, and he felt a little entangled, but finally he chose to speak: “Actually, he provoked the people he shouldn’t have provoked.”

　　”Who?”

　　”The president of the Dark Fire Guild. He is a very gloomy polluter. It is said that his pollution level has now exceeded eighty-five, maybe even ninety.” Cheng Jie lowered his voice, “People die at his hands every day. But, the base has never found any evidence.”

　　It was completely natural for a person with Ruan Tiantian’s personality to offend others.

　　Wen Bei nodded to show that he understood.

　　…

　　Even though he knew that Captain Lan’s ability was related to reasoning, Wen Bei didn’t expect the other party to solve the matter in a very short time.

　　In the afternoon, he heard that the serial killer who had caused the deaths of sixteen people at the Snowflake Factory had been brought to justice.

　　The most incredible thing was that the murderer was actually the supervisor of the factory.

　　Wen Bei recalled the supervisor’s face. His appearance was very depressed, and the bags and dark circles under his eyes had become very dark due to pollution.

　　Almost looking like it was half painted on his face.

　　People died in the factory, and he seemed to be the most annoyed about it. He kept complaining that he couldn’t recruit people.

　　Wen Bei didn’t expect that the murderer would be him.

　　When Wen Bei went over to take a look, the Lawful Army happened to have just arrested the man.

　　Captain Lan was on the side directing orders.

　　Many factory employees had gathered at the gate to ask for an explanation from the factory.

　　They believed that the supervisor was the leader assigned by the factory and he was the one responsible for the accident, so ordinary employees had to be compensated.

　　So many people had crowded near the gate to go on strike, and the soldiers had to patiently drive them away one by one.

　　Some people even sat on the ground and cried and made a fuss, refusing to leave: “You polluters are good. The base provides subsidies and you can find good and suitable jobs. Unlike us ordinary people, we usually work hard and still can’t save money. Now they won’t even let us fight for reasonable compensation.”

　　”The person who killed this time was just an ordinary person without any abilities.” The younger soldier couldn’t help but question them, “You ordinary people are still protected by the polluters, so why can’t you cause less trouble?”

　　Realising that the ordinary people and the soldiers were about to start quarrelling once again, Captain Lan had to walk over.

　　It also gave Wen Bei an opportunity. He walked up to the handcuffed supervisor and narrowed his eyes: “Why did you kill people?”

　　The supervisor grinned: “It’s her problem. She refused to accept my kindness and wanted to call for help. I could only kill her.”

　　Wen Bei’s eyes were cold: “What about the others?”

　　The other people who died in the factory were both men and women. It couldn’t all be because they ‘didn’t cooperate’ with him.

　　The supervisor sneered, with no light in his eyes: “Whether you believe it or not, I didn’t kill the other people. I only killed that girl and dug out her eyes to make it appear like another serial murder case.”

　　The supervisor was just an ordinary person who had not left the base even once in the past five years. If he hadn’t been noticed by Captain Lan’s abilities, then normal people would not have suspected him at all.

　　Wen Bei’s eyes flashed: “How can I meet the real boss of the factory?”

　　”What?” The supervisor was stunned for a moment, not expecting that the topic would jump.

　　Just as Wen Bei was about to repeat his question, Captain Lan came over. He was wearing brightly polished shoes and stepped heavily on the ground step by step, showing his bad mood at the moment: “Let’s go to the Inquisition.”

　　The supervisor’s face suddenly turned pale.

　　Since the end of the world, criminal behaviour had reached its peak, and there were many people who were ready to do whatever it took to survive.

　　The Inquisition was introduced to deal with such people.

　　The people who could enter the court were almost all those who were sure to have made a big mistake. In order to save human resources, the death penalty was usually announced in the morning followed by an execution in the afternoon.

　　The Base had a very simple method of conducting executions. They didn’t even need to waste bullets. They would simply seize all the weapons of the prisoner and transport them out of the base in armoured vehicles. Then, they would leave them out there and wait to make sure that everyone was dead before coming back, without even recovering the bodies.

　　The supervisor, who looked numb a minute ago, completely lost his composure after hearing the word ‘Inquisition’. He immediately began protesting loudly: “Let me go, I didn’t kill the others! I didn’t kill them!”

　　Captain Lan spoke expressionlessly: “Take him away directly.”

　　He turned around and saw Wen Bei, his expression softened a little.

　　Captain Lan: “What’s wrong?”

　　He had a good impression of the pure-looking young man. In the post-apocalyptic world where everyone had a unique change due to pollution, Wen Bei’s appearance with black hair and black eyes was really something that people could help but feel close to.

　　Wen Bei: “He just said that he did not kill the other people.”

　　Captain Lan: “Someone from the Tribunal will pry open his mouth.”

　　After speaking, he nodded to Wen Bei, then turned and left.

　　The people around were noisy, but Wen Bei felt something was clearly wrong.

　　He stopped a person next to him. The person’s distortion was in line with a plant. There was a large piece of skin on his face with lines like dried bark.

　　He was already impatient, but when he saw Wen Bei’s face, his tone changed: “Is something wrong?”

　　Wen Bei: “Why are you all here now? Didn’t the supervisor want to compensate you by giving the afternoon off?”

　　A strange expression appeared on the man’s face: “Day off? We don’t even dare to think about it. I’ve never heard of such a thing.”

　　Then…Cheng Jie lied to him, why?
