This really does seem quite impossible.

But the question is...

"Then why can you continuously avoid entering the restaurant without the waiter giving you trouble, whereas when we want to stay out, the waiter makes it difficult for us directly?"

A few people next to him thought for a moment and couldn't help but ask.

"It seems like you went in the first time, but after that, you refused. Could it be that you've discovered a loophole in the rules?"

"If there's a way, could you teach us? Name your conditions, as long as we can afford them, we won't say a word."

The people present just had a thought and realized the key issue.

The most important thing now is how Zhou Yingting manages to avoid it.

If they could find out, they'd like to try as well.

Entering this restaurant is too dangerous.

"Actually, I'd also like to know why you never enter the restaurant but have eaten every time."

As soon as the question was asked, the others looked curiously at Zhou Yingting, wanting an answer from him, when suddenly a voice sounded beside them.

The crowd was momentarily stunned by the voice and instinctively looked up.

What they saw was the waiter who had appeared in front of them many times.

At this moment, the waiter's gaze on Zhou Yingting carried a complicated and unfathomable meaning.

Seeing this, everyone's heart skipped a beat. The characters in this scenario could approach them and eavesdrop for information, right?

Why are these characters so insidious?

Thinking of this, their expressions immediately became gloomy.

In such a situation, Zhou Yingting naturally couldn't continue speaking; if he did, he'd get caught.

Thinking of this, Zhou Yingting looked at the waiter in front of him and said casually, "I just ate, that's all. There's no rule saying you must dine in the restaurant, right?"

He said this while staring at the waiter in front of him.

The waiter was startled by this and then narrowed his eyes.

Then, without saying anything, the waiter turned and left.

Everyone watched this unfold in a daze and quickly realized that Zhou Yingting's words were actually probing.

"Were you testing whether dining in the restaurant is optional according to the hotel's rules?"

Zhou Yingting nodded, watching the waiter's departing figure. "That's what I meant, but whether it's allowed or not, he didn't react."

Originally, he meant to test the other party but found that there was no loophole to exploit, which was quite troublesome.

"That's normal; these characters in this scenario are quite sly."

The others sighed in unison.

Seeing this, Zhou Yingting shook his head, then stood up, "It's getting dark, so I won't stay here longer. If it gets dark, I can't use the elevator, so I need to go back first."

Zhou Yingting didn't want to take the safety stairwell again, so he planned to return to the fourth floor before it got dark to avoid this rule.

The group knew this rule, so when they heard Zhou Yingting's words, they didn't push him.

At this moment, Zhang Yi signaled to Qiao Peimu, who understood instantly.

Seeing this, Qiao Peimu immediately got up, took another person, and quickly moved toward Zhou Yingting.

"It's better not to separate. I'll escort you to the fourth floor."

Once on the fourth floor, they wouldn't be able to control the situation, but they could at least escort Zhou Yingting that far.

Zhou Yingting had no objections to this and just nodded in response.

The group went to the elevator, got in, and waited for it to open before entering.

Suddenly, a notice appeared unexpectedly in front of them.

"Elevator button malfunction: The fourth-floor button is temporarily inactive. Please use the stairs, and we will repair the button as soon as possible. We apologize for any inconvenience to our guests."

What the heck?

Seeing the notice, Zhou Yingting was stunned. He planned to head to the fourth floor early, so he wouldn't have to use the safety stairs.

Who'd have thought the button would be deactivated directly?

As for the notice mentioning a malfunction, Zhou Yingting definitely didn't believe it.

This was clearly targeting him.

"Let's try another elevator."

Qiao Peimu was equally stunned by this but immediately suggested trying another elevator.

The group left the elevator and pressed the buttons for several others to check them out.

When they searched all these elevators, their faces darkened.

Just like the first elevator, the fourth-floor buttons in these were also disabled.

"Damn, this hotel is excessively targeting!"

Qiao Peimu couldn't help but curse aloud.

"If that's the case, how will we get to the fourth floor? Do we have to take the safety stairs? What about the other strange guests on the fourth floor? Can they break the hotel rules?"

"Or do the rules not apply to them?"

Qiao Peimu couldn't help but slap the elevator, but it didn't react at all.

Zhou Yingting had already anticipated this, shook his head, and walked away from the elevator.

"Forget it, without being able to press the fourth-floor button, getting there early is pointless. Let's look elsewhere and see if we can find any rules."

Turning to Zhang Yi and the others, Zhou Yingting walked away.

Qiao Peimu followed, still fuming.

"Damn it, this is driving you into a corner, right?"

Even now, Qiao Peimu was still full of rage.

Being targeted like this is unbearable for anyone. "If the hotel is doing this, surviving seven days here would be hard."

"Could it be because you've avoided entering the restaurant several times, so they can impose restrictions?"

Someone else considered the situation and said this.

This reasoning wasn't unfounded.

If they had wanted to target him, they could have done it earlier. Why wait until now?

Is it because Zhou Yingting avoided the restaurant twice?

Or did the hotel know something and decided to target Zhou Yingting?

After listening, Zhou Yingting thought for a moment and shook his head.

He really had no idea why the hotel was singling him out.

When Zhang Yi saw them returning, he was momentarily confused.

"Why are you back? Did you forget something?"

Looking around, he saw nothing was left behind.

Moreover, nothing extra was on Zhou Yingting either.

"No, the elevator buttons aren't working, the fourth floor can't be pressed."

Zhou Yingting sat down and said helplessly, "With the fourth-floor buttons disabled, going up doesn't matter much. Anyway, we'll have to take the safety stairs."

His words left everyone momentarily stunned. "Can the hotel do something like this? Are they trying to kill you?"

They were initially envious of Zhou Yingting for finding a loophole, skipping the restaurant.

But seeing Zhou Yingting targeted and expecting his quick downfall, their feelings shifted.

"That's probably the reason," he said, glancing at Zhang Yi.

He implied that avoiding the restaurant this way might lead to targeting; did Zhang Yi still want to join him in this method?

Zhang Yi hesitated.

Zhou Yingting's targeting made Zhang Yi rethink using his method of skipping the restaurant.

While it avoided the restaurant, it could quickly attract trouble elsewhere, potentially getting them all in trouble. It's a tough choice.
