He looked rather guilty as he spoke to this point. "Guys, it's my fault for hiding this from you guys. I don't mind if you guys want to check out. I'll refund you all the money. If you guys are willing to stay, I'll charge you one less room."
"Boss, how far is the nearest county from here?" Di Jing asked, unwilling to give up.
"About 100 kilometers away. You guys can decide if you want to stay or not."
The hotel owner turned around and went downstairs.
After he left, Di Jing could not help but look at Dai Wei. "Dai Wei, how far can the car go with the gas?"
"50 kilometers at the most!" Dai Wei said.
Old Shen eventually said, "There's nothing we can do then. We can only stay here. However, to be safe, we'll all sleep in the same room. Xiaodi's a girl, so you'll sleep on the bed."
Di Jing's expression softened. She returned to her room, picked up the blanket, and walked into Room 444. Dai Wei did the same.
Since the few of them were staying in the same room, Di Jing did not even dare to change her clothes. She laid on the bed directly. Meanwhile, Dai Wei made a bed next to Ye Chen's.
There was only so much space on the ground.
Ye Chen let Old Shen sleep on his bed. He then moved a stool to sit aside and closed his eyes to rest. He began cultivating secretly.
To him, it was more comfortable to sit than to lie down.
Old Shen said, feeling sorry for him, "Mr. Ye, why don't you come and lie with me? Be careful not to catch a cold."
Di Jing was a little embarrassed.
After all, theoretically, the bed belonged to Ye Chen. Now that she had taken it, he had to sit there until dawn.
"Old Shen, didn't you see that he's resting with his eyes closed? He looks like he's cultivating. Perhaps our Mr. Ye is a martial arts expert. Why would he be afraid of catching a cold? "Dai Wei said in a sarcastic tone.
Old Shen and Di Jing glared at him as soon as he was done speaking. Just when Old Shen was going to say something, someone knocked on the door again.
"Xiaodi, open the door. The hotel owner must be asking if we're staying or leaving," Old Shen said as he turned around.
With so many people together, Dai Wei was not afraid anymore. He mustered up his courage and went to open the door. However, he realized that there was no one outside. The corridor was quiet.
Most importantly, there was an extra stack of money at the door, and it was a thick stack of RMB. It added up to at least 100,000 yuan.
"That's strange. I clearly heard someone knocking on the door. Why isn't anyone here? Moreover, there's a stack of money on the ground," Old Shen said in confusion.
"Maybe the person next door is knocking."
Dai Wei smiled and bent down to pick up the stack of money on the ground. He said joyfully, "Don't tell me we're all lucky today? I don't know if it's fake or not! "
Just when his hand was about to touch the stack of money, Ye Chen suddenly opened his eyes and said, "I advise you not to touch this money."
"Why?" Dai Wei asked subconsciously.
Ye Chen smiled and said nothing.
Dai Wei smirked. "Are you stupid? You don't want money that's delivered to your doorstep? There are at least a hundred thousand here, not a hundred or two hundred. Only an idiot wouldn't want it. "
Although the occupation of geography sounded fancy, the income was not high. Meanwhile, 100,000 yuan was half a year's income for him.
He picked up the stack of money on the ground directly after saying that. He then closed the door and returned to his room. He took out a piece of paper and studied it carefully under the light.
"Look at the watermark and the photochromic ink. It doesn't look like it's fake."
Dai Wei passed a piece of paper to Old Shen while looking at it. He said, "Old Shen, please take a look at it for me."
Old Shen did not take it. Instead, he shook his head and said, "Xiaodai, someone must've dropped this money by accident. It's ill-gotten. I advise you to put it back."
Dai Wei was rather upset before he was done speaking. "Old Shen, why do you have the same thought as someone? I didn't steal it or rob it. I picked it up with my own ability. Why should I put it back? "
Old Shen sighed softly. He knew that he could not persuade him, so he stopped talking and closed his eyes to sleep.
Ye Chen secretly shook his head after glancing at Dai Wei who was counting the money.
Dai Wei counted the stack of money and realized that it was exactly 100,000 yuan. There was no more and no less. He then took out his phone to search for information on the internet.
After confirming that it was real money, he looked at Ye Chen and Old Shen by instinct. He could not help but smile.
'You guys don't want it. I'm the only one who wants it.
That's great! '
…
"Ahh!"
Di Jing's devastating shriek came from the room all of a sudden when it was almost dawn.
"What happened?!"
Old Shen was the first to wake up. He took out his phone immediately and shone it on Di Jing who was on the bed. She was shaking while sitting on the bed. Meanwhile, her phone had fallen onto the ground, but the flashlight was still on.
Dai Wei woke up too. "What's wrong?!"
"Dai Wei, y-you …" Di Jing pointed at Dai Wei and stammered. Fear filled her face.
Old Shen shone the flashlight at Dai Wei by instinct.
He was almost scared to death just by looking at it.
Dai Wei was wearing red clothes that were as red as blood. One would think it was a red suit at first glance.
Upon closer look, it was a red shroud!
Dai Wei looked down and his face shook. "How did this happen? When did I wear a shroud? Who changed my clothes for me? Turn on the light. Turn on the light! "
He was wearing a blue checkered shirt.
How did it turn into a shroud?!
"I-I was going to the toilet with the flashlight on my phone earlier. When the flashlight shone on Dai Wei, I-I saw that you're wearing a … a shroud!"
He got up to press the switch after saying that. However, he realized that the light would not turn on no matter how hard he tried.
"S-is the power out?!"
Dai Wei fell onto the ground in shock.
Old Shen, who was the oldest among them, was the first to calm down. He said after taking a deep breath in, "Xiaodai, why are you wearing a shroud for the dead?"
"I-I have no idea. I've been sleeping and I've never gone out. Moreover, where did I get a shroud from?" Dai Wei said while shaking while trying to take off the shroud.
At that moment, Ye Chen, who had been quiet, suddenly spoke, "I'm warning you not to take it off!"
"Are you crazy?" Dai Wei shouted at him.
"Wait!"
Old Shen suddenly stopped Dai Wei and said, "Xiaodai, don't take it off yet. Let's listen to what Mr. Ye has to say."
After the series of events, Old Shen realized that Ye Chen's words seemed strange at the critical moment, but he seemed to be a prophet.
For example, he had advised them not to stay in this hotel earlier, but they did not listen to him.
Dai Wei and Di Jing looked at Ye Chen at the same time.
Ye Chen said calmly, "Show me the money you picked up last night."
"What does it have to do with the money I picked up?"
Dai Wei scoffed, thinking that Ye Chen was after his money. However, he took out his bag after thinking about it. He then opened it to take a look.
His entire person was instantly stunned.
His face was filled with fear!
Cold sweat was dripping out of his body!
Old Shen rubbed his eyes and inhaled sharply. "How did it turn into hell notes?!"
