Chapter 108 Subduing Demons and Monsters
Chapter 108 Subduing Demons and Monsters
April 21th, cloudy.
Beijing West Railway Station is always so busy.
This was Ye Kai's second trip to Beijing, whereas before his rebirth he had never been to the capital.
Since there is no high-speed rail connection between Xinghua City and Beijing, Ye Kai chose to take an overnight sleeper train to Beijing again. After boarding, he took a quick nap and arrived at Beijing West Station at around 5:30 in the morning.
Before even leaving the station, Ye Kai was already surrounded by a sea of people.
The bustling crowd of travelers, dragging various suitcases, hurried off in all directions.
The seats in the waiting hall were already full, and the aisles were packed with people. Some were busy calling their families to let them know they were safe, some were checking train information, and some were discussing their itinerary with their companions. The noise was so loud that all you could hear was the word "busy".
At the exit, batches of passengers disembarked from the train and instantly blended into the bustling crowd.
Taxi stands and bus stops were packed with people, all anxiously waiting for various modes of transportation to get to their respective destinations.
The station's announcements kept ringing out, reminding passengers of train schedules, and the sounds of footsteps, suitcase wheels, and conversations never ceased.
Various vehicles flowed continuously on the road outside the station, with horns blaring incessantly.
Ye Kai came lightly this time, carrying only a backpack containing his laptop and a small amount of cash.
Unfortunately, mobile payments are not yet widespread, and card payments are not common in most cities in China; cash is the mainstream method of daily payment.
Ye Kai quickly washed his face in the bathroom, then came out and walked a few hundred meters to the main road.
Miss Zhou knew he was coming to the capital today, so she specially offered to pick him up in person.
"Waaah—"
Just as Ye Kai was looking around, the loud roar of a top-of-the-line sports car rang out, and then a bright red Ferrari came rushing over and came to a steady stop in front of him.
"Get on the bus!"
In the driver's seat, Zhou Xiaoli, wearing sunglasses, waved to Ye Kai.
"This car is nice!"
Although Ye Kai wasn't exactly clueless about cars, he couldn't tell which model this Ferrari was. He just felt that it was different from the common Ferrari sports cars he had seen before.
"Ferrari 599XX, limited quantity, priced at 200 million, for sale."
"This car is equipped with a 600-horsepower V12 engine, can accelerate from 0 to 60 mph in 2.9 seconds, boasts outstanding performance, and has a top speed of 315 km/h. Only invited customers are eligible to purchase it."
Zhou Xiaoli started the car, and the fiery red sports car sped forward with a loud roar.
As expected of a scion of a wealthy family in the capital!
Buying a $200 million sports car on a whim, and doing so with such nonchalance, it's undeniable that these people were born in Rome.
If it weren't for that accident, Ye Kai knew he probably would never have had the chance to meet a woman like Miss Zhou in his entire life.
"Where are we going, to the hotel?"
Ye Kai stared straight ahead and casually asked Zhou Xiaoli a question.
Traffic conditions in Beijing were naturally not worth expecting, but it was still early, not even six o'clock in the morning, and there were very few vehicles on the road, which was the best time for Ferrari to perform.
Zhou Xiaoli's driving skills are quite good. The roaring steel behemoth in her hands is like a child's Transformer toy, which she can manipulate at will.
"Let's go to Guomao. It's newer there and the transportation is convenient."
Zhou Xiaoli replied.
The distance from Beijing West Railway Station to the China World Hotel is about 20 kilometers, and Miss Zhou drove there in ten minutes.
The doorman saw the Ferrari from afar and quickly ran over to help open the car door and take the luggage.
The China World Hotel is located in the China World Trade Center Phase 8, which was completed at the end of August 2010 and officially opened that year. It is managed by the Shangri-La Hotels and Resorts group. The guest rooms are located on the 64th floor and above, with an area starting from 55 square meters. They all have extra-large floor-to-ceiling windows that overlook the entire city of Beijing, as well as bars and infinity pools, etc.
"I didn't book the most expensive Guomao suite for you, I only chose the ultra-luxury suite, mainly because I was worried that you would be too conspicuous."
"There are too many people and too much attention in the capital, so being too high-profile won't do you any good."
Zhou Xiaoli had already booked a room. She led him into the elevator, went straight to the 77th floor, and then swiped her card to enter the guest room.
As soon as the door closed, Zhou Xiaoli hugged Ye Kai.
Is Miss Zhou being this enthusiastic?
Ye Kai threw his backpack on the carpet, put his arms around Miss Zhou's waist, and picked her up.
"Youth is wonderful!"
Zhou Xiaoli wrapped her arms around Ye Kai's neck and couldn't help but praise him.
I'm hungry.
Ye Kai kissed Zhou Xiaoli and then said.
It seems that Zhou Xiaoli's fighting ability has improved a lot in just a few days.
If he weren't young and strong, it wouldn't have been easy for him to completely win over Zhou Xiaoli.
"Since you opened the door to a new world for me, I feel that my body and mind have undergone great changes."
"The days without you have been so empty, lonely and cold. I'm practically turning into a prop master."
Zhou Xiaoli lay down beside Ye Kai, using strands of her hair to tickle his fingers. When she heard Ye Kai's question, she answered with a resentful tone.
"Then it really is my fault."
"Don't worry, I'll be staying in Beijing most of the summer, and I'll make sure you're well-fed."
Ye Kai smiled and assured Zhou Xiaoli, then asked her with some curiosity what kind of props she was using.
"Let's get some rest today."
"Tomorrow I'll arrange for those investors to have dinner together and discuss the new energy battery project."
After resting for a while, Zhou Xiaoli regained her radiant spirit.
She placed several paper bags in the room, filled with clothes she had specially bought for Ye Kai, including formal wear, casual wear, and even underwear.
Ye Kai enthusiastically looked through and tried on the clothes, finding Zhou Xiaoli's taste quite good; every piece was in line with his aesthetic.
"Clatter—"
One of the bags didn't contain clothes. When Ye Kai leaned onto the bed, he found several very familiar boxes, ranging from fruit-flavored to spiral-patterned. He immediately thought to himself, "This is an expert!"
"Miss Zhou, you really came prepared!"
Ye Kai glanced at the boxes and thought to himself that she was planning a protracted battle.
"Of course."
"To welcome you to the capital, little brother, I've prepared a lot of good things for you."
Zhou Xiaoli smiled mysteriously, and pulled out one set of QQ underwear after another from another bag. She picked them up with both hands and held them up against her body.
Indeed, it's not the eighteen-year-old girl that's scary, it's the married woman who knows everything.
Ye Kai rubbed his lower back, thinking to himself that without some kind of cheat code, he probably couldn't beat this female demon.
