Chapter 136: Chapter 135: An Apocalyptic Life from Scratch (9)

In the midst of howling winds and torrential rain, a crowd of people rushed toward the rooftop.

Teng Fei, who had just snuffed out a cigarette, turned around in surprise.

“What’s going on?”

Ah?!

The manager, who had heard that someone was intending to commit suicide, suddenly stood frozen in place, awkwardly looking at me, the young owner of the hotel, standing inside the observation restaurant, looking out through the thickened glass.

This situation turned into a misunderstanding…

Teng Fei tilted his head and spotted the woman he had seen earlier in the restaurant and the elevator. He bowed his head, took out a new cigarette, lit it, took a puff, and let out a cold laugh.

“Nosy.”

Su Shu stood next to the manager, squinting at the arrogant posture of the other party. He coldly chuckled as well and turned to leave.

“Pretentious.”

The boy raised his head, his dark eyes chilled, a flash of cold light flickering.

Unfortunately, Su Shu had already left.

On the way back to her room, she berated herself, thinking she had needlessly worried about trivial matters and decided not to meddle in such affairs in the future.

Even though the suicide was a misunderstanding, the manager still went out of his way to check on Su Shu, explain Teng Fei’s behavior, and brought some exquisite hotel pastries as a gesture of goodwill.

Teng Fei, the second young master of the Teng Hotel Group.

Young and recently returned from studying abroad, the Teng family, with its vast business empire based in Capital City, would normally have arranged for such a promising Harvard graduate—who became outstanding at age sixteen—to work at their headquarters in the capital.

Unfortunately, Teng Fei’s status within the Teng family was somewhat awkward, so the isolated second young master was assigned by his family to manage one of their hotels in C City.

He arrived in C City a week ago, just as the floods broke out; possibly his mood wasn’t very good.

As the manager put it, Su Shu was quite astonished.

She hesitated for a while, then candidly said, “Actually, you didn’t have to come over. I was wrong before, and it wasn’t right to make you all worked up. Since he is not considering that, it’s all for the best. As for being upset or not, I really hadn’t given it much thought.” She paused, then added, “Moreover, given the current situation, I have no interest in prying into anyone else’s privacy.”

“I understand, my apologies for saying too much. Actually, there’s another reason for my visit.”

“Yes, go on.”

Since it seemed the matter no longer involved her…

At this point, the manager seemed a bit uncomfortable, appraising Su Shu before speaking.

“The thing is, Miss Su, the reason I came is that the second young master of the Teng family would like to swap rooms with you, and… of course, we’ll make sure to arrange a better room for you, definitely bigger and better than this one. What do you think?”

Su Shu: “?”

Swap rooms, what kind of joke is this?

“Sorry, no interest in switching without a good reason,”

She decisively refused, escorted the hotel manager out, closed the door, and turned around.

Su Shu touched her forehead, exasperated.

Shortly thereafter.

In the hotel control room, a young man with a proud look on his face pointed at the location of room 1209 on the control screen, saying.

“Cut off the water and electricity to this room.”

Room 1209.

Su Shu and Xiao’ai were washing their faces in the bathroom, everything was fine, then suddenly the water and power went out, startling Xiao’ai!

After settling Xiao’ai, Su Shu attempted to call the front desk but couldn’t get through, slamming the phone down in frustration.

She opened the door; the hallway lights were functioning fine, and other rooms had no issues. It seemed only her room was affected.

If she couldn’t figure out what was happening by now, it was as if she had lived in vain.

She returned to her room and used her own cell phone to call the hotel customer service.

The phone connected with beeps, and Su Shu said loudly,

“Yes, exactly, I need to speak to your manager!”
