Chapter 83: The Park Incident

Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

Sigh, its still more comfortable to be on the bed. Zhou Chao rolled around on the bed. This time, Lin Wu booked a suite for him with two bedrooms, which was quite spacious.

Boss, would you like to have something to eat?

You go ahead and arrange it. Upon hearing this, Lin Wu walked out of the room and called the front desk.

Zhou Chao sat up on the bed and took out his phone to call Ma Huateng.

Hello, Uncle Huateng.

Zhou kid, have you reached Peng City? Ma Huatengs magnetic voice came through.

I just reached the hotel. I called to inquire about the details of tomorrows shareholders meeting. Zhou Chao rubbed his forehead, trying to alleviate his tiredness.

Tomorrow at 10 AM, the meeting will be held in the 38th-floor conference room at headquarters. It will mainly cover this years financial report and next years development.

Got it, Uncle Huateng. After understanding the situation, Zhou Chao was about to hang up the phone.

Zhou kid, wait a moment. How about coming to my place for dinner tonight?

Lets pass on tonight. Ive been burning the midnight oil for the past few days, and 1 dozed off on the plane during the flight here.

Alright, see you tomorrow. Seeing Zhou Chaos response, Ma Huateng didnt insist further.

Okay, Uncle Huateng, see you tomorrow. After hanging up the phone, Zhou Chao tossed his phone aside and got up to prepare for a shower.

After a while, Zhou Chao emerged from the bathroom after taking a shower. He saw Lin Wu and a service staff member pushing a food trolley into the room.

Boss, you can have your meal now.

Yeah, Ill change my clothes and be out in a moment. With that, Zhou Chao turned and walked towards his room.

The chef at this hotel is pretty skilled. Zhou Chao remarked after a few bites. Lin Wu tasted the food too and agreed that it was indeed delicious.

After satisfying our appetites and feeling full, Ill catch a quick nap in my room. Later in the evening, we can head out for a stroll.

Sure, Boss. After finishing his meal, Zhou Chao turned and went back to his room to rest.

Lin Wu started cleaning up the leftovers on the table, then made a call to the front desk. Soon, a service staff member arrived with the food cart to clear the tableware.

After tidying up, Lin Wu returned to his room.

As night fell, Zhou Chao woke up from his slumber.

Mmm~ Zhou Chao stretched lazily on the bed and sat up.

Huh, its already dark outside. Zhou Chao raised his hand to check the time; it was already past 7 PM.

After getting dressed, Zhou Chao opened the door and walked out.

Boss, youre awake. Lin Wu stood up immediately upon seeing Zhou Chao come out.

Yeah, lets find a place to grab a simple meal before taking a walk.

The two left the hotel and found a restaurant by the roadside to have a light meal.

Ah, its been a while since I visited a park. They entered Lixiang Park after walking along the road. There werent many people around, possibly due to the colder weather.

Lin Wu.

Boss, whats up?

I wanted to move on to a different point, but after thinking about it for a while, Im not sure how to say it. Would readers think Im just being wordy?

No, Boss. Everything you say is right. Lin Wu chimed in.

As they walked, the surroundings gradually quieted, and without realizing it, only the two of them were left strolling.

Whoo whoo whoo whoo.

Lin Wu, whats that sound? Zhou Chao seemed to hear a whistling sound.

Boss, could it be the sound of the wind? Lin Wu listened for a moment, but couldnt hear any other sounds.

I dont think 1 misheard. Zhou Chao trusted his hearing.

Whoo whoo- This time, both of them clearly heard the sound coming from the bushes ahead.

Boss, do you think its a ghost? Lin Wu swallowed nervously. It was already past 9 PM, and the surroundings were pitch-black except for the lights along the road.

Are you kidding me? Are you, a military veteran, afraid of this? Zhou Chao looked at Lin Wus expression and playfully kicked him.

Lets go over and take a look, use your phones flashlight.

Boss, Ill go ahead, you follow behind me. As soon as they decided to investigate, Lin Wu positioned himself in front of Zhou Chao.

They approached the bushes carefully and gently pushed them aside, revealing a young girl who appeared to be around five or six years old. She was wearing somewhat thin clothing that looked quite fancy.

It looks like she cried herself to sleep from exhaustion. Zhou Chao and Lin Wu exchanged a glance before squatting down.

Little one, wake up. Zhou Chao pushed her a few times, and the girl woke from her slumber.

Sob sob, are you here to take Little Mango back home? Little Mango is brave, she didnt cry. The delicate little face had two tear streaks.

Zhou Chao hurriedly comforted her, Little Mango, dont cry. Tell big brother how you ended up here. Where are your family members?

I I dont know. Little Mango sobbed. She didnt even know where her home was.

Witnessing this, Zhou Chao exchanged a glance with Lin Wu before redirecting his attention to Little Mango. Hey, Little Mango, how about letting this big brother here take you to find a police officer? Does that sound good?

Seeing that the girl didnt respond, Zhou Chao walked over, lifted her into his arms, and Lin Wu quickly checked her pulse.

Boss, she might have fallen into a deep sleep. Her pulse is still beating, but the girl might have been without food for a long time.

Yeah, lets go. Ill call the police. Zhou Chao held the child and headed out. Lin Wu stood up and dialed the emergency number.

Hello, this is xxxx in Nanshan District.

Hello, 1 found a child in Lixiang Park. Can you send someone over?

Are you inside Lixiang Park now?

Were on our way to the park entrance. The little girl has fainted.

Alright, sir. Well send someone over immediately. Someone will contact you later. After the call, Zhou Chao hung up. They quickened their pace towards the park entrance.

In less than 5 minutes, they arrived at the park entrance, and the police were already there. LaTest novls on (n)velbi/(.)co

Hello, did you make the call earlier?

Yes, this is the child. Zhou Chao pointed to the girl in his arms.

We would appreciate it if you could come to the police station to provide a statement. A more experienced-looking officer among them said.

No problem, its our civic duty. But we might need to get some food for the little girl; shes already unconscious. The officer immediately checked the girl in Zhou Chaos arms and confirmed that she was indeed unconscious.

Its okay, we have food at the station. Hearing this, Zhou Chao and Lin Wu got into the police car. In a few minutes, they arrived at the police station and followed the officers inside.

Initially, Zhou Chao had planned to hand over the child to a female officer. However, the little girl clung to his clothes persistently. With no other choice, Zhou Chao reluctantly took off his shirt and gently laid the girl on the nearby duty bed.

They quickly finished providing their statements and left their contact information.

We truly appreciate your help. If there are any updates, well contact you as soon as possible. Please keep your phone switch on. The middle-aged officer escorted Zhou Chao and Lin Wu out of the police station. Lin Wu naturally responded with a salute, while Zhou Chao felt awkward and simply looked at the officers.

Well take our leave then. Afterward, Zhou Chao and Lin Wu left the police station. They hailed a cab by the roadside and returned to the hotel..
