Chapter 4: The Peace Hotel
Following the route of memory, the Audi A6 passes through the streets of the bustling Bund... Finally drove to the Peace Hotel.
Parking the car at the door of the hotel, the hotel waiter respectfully stepped forward and opened the door.
Chen Sheng stepped out of the car, raised his head slightly, and glanced at the restaurant in front of him.
Western-style retro buildings, those stone columns... Those walls... It is as if witnessing the erosion of history. Here, once known as the tallest building in the Far East... Today, compared to the 600-meter-tall Global Center building on the other side of the Huangpu River, it looks low and old.
Chen Sheng's eyes were sharp, and with a faint glance, he saw the bullet holes left on the stone pillar... These holes have not been erased, like some kind of sign.
The time that belonged to it has passed...
"Peace Hotel, it still hasn't changed. Chen Sheng muttered, as if he was a little emotional.
Qin Wei also stepped on silver high heels and stood beside her gently.
"Are you familiar with this place?" Qin Wei also asked, the history of this restaurant is special, except for the special big people of the older generation, few young people will come here to eat. Not only because of the high cost here, but also because of the many taboos here. There are many taboos in the Peace Hotel, and it is obviously not easy to enter the door of this ancient hotel.
Chen Sheng smiled faintly, "Once, when I was idle and bored, I liked to come here to drink tea, because good things happened here every day... Nowadays, there are not so many dramas to watch. ”
Hearing this, Qin Wei also glanced at him with strange and puzzled eyes... Coming here for tea often? Does he really think that this Peace Hotel is an ordinary restaurant and teahouse? Come whenever he wants? Where is it so easy? Frivolous nonsense.
"What's the show?" Qin Wei also pretended to be curious and asked, she didn't believe what Chen Sheng said, so she planned to ask to the end and expose his lies.
"Which scenes? Naturally, it's a murderous scene. Little girl, I'm afraid you don't know, every inch of the ground in this Peace Hotel is stained with blood. Chen Sheng replied calmly and indifferently, with a hint of a smile on the corner of his mouth.
"I don't believe every word you say. Qin Wei also glanced at him with beautiful eyes, "Also, who do you call little girl?, I'm older than you, so I'm not allowed to be so rude to my sister." ”
After saying that, she stepped on her high heels and walked straight into the hotel.
Chen Sheng couldn't help but be stunned when he heard this... Sister??A little yellow-haired girl born in the 90s of the 20th century, how dare she call herself a sister in front of him? It seems a little embarrassing.
Chen Sheng smiled faintly and followed unhurriedly.
At the entrance of the Peace Hotel, there is a strict security system. One of the taboo clauses in the hotel is that no metal objects are allowed to enter. Whether it's a sword, a gun, a short-edged weapon... Or metal keys, or even rings and necklaces, nothing can be brought into the hotel.
Chen Sheng and Qin Wei also walked to the security door frame and conducted a round of inspections.
Qin Wei also didn't wear jewelry, so she passed the security check.
But at this moment, the alarm at the security gate in front of Chen Sheng suddenly sounded!
"Didi! Didi!" red lights flashed.
A group of hotel security personnel instantly surrounded them!
"Sir, you have a short soldier on you, please pay it immediately! Otherwise, you are not allowed to enter the hotel!" the security officer exclaimed, with a solemn face!
Chen Shengweileng... I haven't set foot in this hotel for a hundred years, but the system of this hotel has actually changed? Think about the people who entered the Peace Hotel in the past, who didn't have guns and bombs? Now, even metal soldiers are not brought in?
"Do you mean it?" Chen Sheng raised his right hand slightly, and a simple bronze short sword appeared in his palm, "I'm sorry, this sword... I never leave me. ”
As soon as the short sword came out, a faint stream of blood scattered.
All the hotel security guards around him instantly became solemn and nervous! A group of security guards directly surrounded him, and all the security guards put their right hands on their waists! That's a firearm! Every security guard in this Peace Hotel is equipped with a firearm!
"What are you going to do?" Qin Wei's face changed color, and she hurriedly stepped forward and shouted softly. The situation was a bit chaotic at this point, but she couldn't leave it alone.
Chen Sheng gently held the bronze short sword, with an inexplicable arc at the corner of his mouth... I haven't set foot in it for a hundred years, and this Peace Hotel is still so 'peaceful', which makes people miss it.
"I'm curious, who is the current owner of your Peace Hotel?" Chen Sheng glanced at the group of security guards and asked lightly.
"Presumptuous! When you come to the Peace Hotel for dinner, you must abide by the rules of the Peace Hotel! If you dare to ask this, you have committed a big taboo!!" The security guards looked extremely cold, and they were ready to draw their guns!
Qin Wei was also a little stunned... She wanted to break the siege, but she didn't know what to do. The rules of the Peace Hotel are that you will never ask who the boss is! This is a big taboo! But Chen Sheng, this guy, actually hit other people's guns one after another?
She took out her phone and was ready to call her father... My father was waiting in the hotel box at this time... At this time, I am afraid that only my father can solve it.
The atmosphere of the whole scene was tense!
"Stop!" At this moment, there was a sudden loud shout!
I saw a man in a suit walking quickly, his face extremely solemn!
The moment they saw the man in the suit, the security guards of the hotel bowed respectfully and made way for him.
The man in the suit walked quickly in front of Chen Sheng, and then suddenly bowed respectfully!
"I'm sorry, sir... Caused you trouble. The man in the suit apologized respectfully, and then introduced himself, "The contemptible person is the lobby manager of the Peace Hotel, Xie Huaan." ”
"Oh. Chen Sheng nodded lightly, "What's the matter? If I don't hand over my weapons today, I won't be allowed to enter?"
"The rules are set by people, and naturally they are changed by people. Since the gentleman insisted, he changed the rules. Xie Huaan bowed apologetically again, then stretched out his hand to greet him, "Sir, please." ”
This scene... Everyone present froze...
The group of security guards in the hotel looked at each other, and they didn't know what to do... This is... What's going on? Manager Xie never shows up on weekdays, why did he suddenly appear today? and... It's the first time you've crossed the rules and allowed a man with a weapon to enter?!
Qin Wei was also dumbfounded... Leng Leng watched this scene. She couldn't react... What's going on? The lobby manager of the Peace Hotel personally appeared... Paying compensation to Chen Sheng is not... And, also open up for him and break the rules of the hotel? This is probably unprecedented, right?
This young lady was completely stunned... The name and status of the Peace Hotel are very special in Huhai City! She didn't even dare to guarantee that if her great-grandfather came... Will the hotel be for the identity of the great-grandfather ... And a blatant violation of the rules...
The man in front of him named Chen Sheng... What the hell is going on? Or maybe his elders... What is the origin?
Chen Sheng slowly withdrew the bronze short sword, and then glanced at Qin Weiyi.
"Miss, let's go. I'm hungry. Chen Sheng said and stepped directly into the hotel without looking back.
Qin Wei also looked strange and puzzled, and stepped on her high heels and went up...
The lobby manager, Xie Huaan, looked respectful, watching Chen Sheng and Qin Weiyi leave...
It took a long time for his face to regain its indifference and depth.
Xie Huaan took out his mobile phone and dialed a call.
"Big boss... I saw a man with a hand... It seems to be holding that sword. ”
……
In an old retro villa, a middle-aged man in a Tang costume answered the phone, his body trembled violently, and his face was extremely solemn.
"What did you say? Are you sure... Is that the sword?!" The middle-aged man's voice was sharp and solemn, with an endless breath!
"It should be that sword, it's the same as the one in the photo!" Xie Huaan replied solemnly on the other end of the phone.
The man in Tang costume was silent for a long time, with endless breath in his pupils.
"I see, don't touch him. "The voice of the man in Tang costume is very solemn!
Hanging up the phone, the man in Tang costume took a deep breath, and his face was extremely cold.
"It's time to come, after all... It's still coming. ”
