“I’m sorry, can you move aside?” Haus came to join the fun.
“Kid, do you know what you’re saying?” Princeton looked at him.
“Old man, do you know whose land you’re on right now?” Haus said arrogantly.
That shut everyone up.
Before, Chen Zhao thought that he was rich. But compared to Haus, he realized he wasn’t rich at all.
“The three of you, I’m on vacation with my girlfriend right now. I don’t want to ruin this vacation. If you don’t have anything else, please go back now.”
“Mr. Chen, I want to invite you and your girlfriend and…these animals to my home.”
“If I don’t agree, will I get kicked out of here?”
“Uh…no.”
“Then, goodbye.”
“…”
Chen Zhao looked at Princeton and Catherine. “No need to waste any more effort on me. I’m not interested in either of your invitations.”
Chen Zhao didn’t give them the chance to speak.
He knew what kind of fart they would release before they even took off their pants.
“Then, I’ll come to visit you another day,” Haus said, a bit disappointed.
“Mr. Chen, if you have any needs in New York, please call this number.” Princeton left a number with him.
“Mr. Chen, I can also help you take care of any problems in New York.” Catherine also left a number.
The three parties came and left quickly.
“Chen, I didn’t know that you knew so many people in New York.”
“We’re just acquaintances.” Chen Zhao shrugged. “Did your mood get affected by that?”
“No, let’s continue.”
This place didn’t have as many rides as Disney, but it was still fun enough for Princess and the others.
The only one who was bored was Blackie.
A rollercoaster? Ha…
The pirate ship? Ha…
“Chen Zhao, is there nothing suitable for me?”
“Go to the haunted house.”
“Haunted house?”
“It’s a place for scaring people. They have a bunch of random stuff.”
“Oh, a scary place? I’ll go take a look.”
Ten minutes later, a haunted house worker ran out screaming for his mother.
And then a second one, a third…
Chen Zhao clutched his head. It seemed that he’d said something that he shouldn’t have earlier.
In the evening, he and Fali finally brought everyone back into the bus.
Princess and the others loved the amusement park as much as little kids.
They left very reluctantly.
“Okay, we’ll do it again next time.”
They were only willing to get into the bus after Chen Zhao made that promise.
At home, Chen Zhao and Fali were too lazy to make dinner. After all, they’d already eaten a lot outside.
The two cuddled in the yard and looked at the distant sea line.
They were all tired from today.
Just then, Zola’s call came.
She told Chen Zhao to bring Princess, Snow White, and Samuel over to practice the catwalk.
Zola helped plan everything for them, so Chen Zhao couldn’t make any mistakes.
After hanging up, an unfamiliar number called.
“Hello, who’s this?”
“Is this Mr. Chen?”
“Who are you?”
“My name is Jonsonk. I’d like to buy your albino cougar. If you’re interested in selling your other pets, you can also sell them to me. I can give you a nice price.”
“Sorry, not interested.”
Just as Chen Zhao was about to hang up, the man spoke again.
“Mr. Chen, I advise you to think carefully and don’t make any brash decisions. Think about you and your girlfriend’s safety.”
“You sent those two guys today?” Chen Zhao’s expression darkened.
“Perhaps you don’t understand my power in New York City. I can make even the mayor disappear without a trace.”
With a dark expression, Chen Zhao said, “Then you better hurry up. Do it before I find you.”
“Haha… Are you challenging me? I must say, this is a very unwise decision.”
“Then, I’ll wait and see.” Chen Zhao hung up.
…
“He dared to hang up first?”
Jonsonk stared at his phone and muttered to himself, “Perhaps I should teach him a lesson. Maybe my tone was too gentle just then.”
He called someone else. “Linsand, are you and your men in New York right now?”
“Yes, Mr. Jonsonk. We just returned.”
“I have a mission for you.”
“What mission? What price?”
“An Asian and a woman. Break all four limbs of that Asian, but remember to spare his life. at least, make sure he can still see and hear. As for the woman, do whatever you want. Also, he has some pets. I want them, especially the albino cougar. It must be alive.”
“What price?”
“If you do everything I ordered, you can take two million from me. But if the albino cougar dies, you won’t get a single cent.”
“Mr. Jonsonk, please prepare your two million dollars,” Linsand said confidently and hung up.
After that, he made a few calls. “All of you, get back here immediately. There’s a mission. It’s not out-of-town. It’s local. High price. Hurry back.”
Within half an hour, Linsand had organized his men. He gave them some instructions and they set out.
As for strategizing, it was only necessary for major missions.
This was just one man and woman. What strategizing was needed?
Soon, Linsand brought his men outside Chen Zhao and Fali’s house.
Even though they hadn’t prepared for long, Linsand’s men were still fully equipped.
“Leader, the heat detector shows that the couple are on the second floor. There are a lot of animals on the first floor. One of them is unrecognizable but has a very high body temperature.”
“Who cares what species? Shoot some tranquilizers and even an elephant will fall.”
“Get ready. Dirk, you’re in charge of surveillance. We’ll work inside. Report to us if anything changes.”
Dirk looked at the heat detector. Just then, he saw a human figure stand up.
“Hey, Leader. That man got out of bed and his image disappeared.”
“Leader, the animals are disappearing one by one too.”
“What? What do you mean ‘disappear’?”
“I don’t know.” Dirk was confused too. The only way to block the scanning of the heat detector was by lowering one’s body temperature.
Or using some metal to cover their bodies, like aluminum.
“Leader, only the woman is on the second floor. Her heat image is still there. Everyone else disappeared.”
