He was in such a hurry to get off the bus that he didn't notice and thought the man was just standing behind him watching the show. He didn't realize that the man had already gone around to the street corner to block people.
Chen Ke walked over quickly, "...Dad, are you alright?"
Zhou Shanhuai instinctively wanted to say it was nothing, but then suddenly remembered something, his face turned cold, he snorted softly and didn't say anything. He just turned to Chen Zhuo and said, "Chen Zhuo, go check my bag. There are account books in there. They can't be lost."
"The bag is here." Chen Ke handed Zhou Shanhuai's bag to him. It was well protected, not even a speck of sewage from the ground got on it, clearly indicating that the bag had been snatched back when the assailant fell to the ground.
Zhou Shanhuai took the bag with a slightly awkward expression. His ingrained manners made him unable to resist saying, "Thank you."
Chen Zhuo pretended not to hear the thank you and checked Zhou Shanhuai over from head to toe. After making sure he was alright, he carefully helped him up.
"No need to be so careful. It's just a fall. I'm not old enough to break apart from a fall."
"Dad, you're joking? If I hadn't made it in time today, it would have been incredibly dangerous!"
Zhou Shanhuai has always been optimistic. Now that he was safe, his tense and scared feelings subsided. Hearing Chen Zhuo's words, he smiled reassuringly, "It's okay, it's all over now. Look, I'm still holding the fish in my hand. Oh dear, I got dirty when I fell, I need to hurry back and let your mom wash me properly..." As he spoke, he started to walk home.
Chen Zhuo helplessly pulled him back, "Dad, don't rush, we need to deal with these two before we go back."
"Oh right, let's take them straight to the police station!"
Seeing how close the two of them were now than before, Chen Ke wondered what the original owner of this body was thinking. At least he was quite grateful to his adoptive parents, Zhou Shanhuai and Song Xiaowen.
Both were born into wealthy families and had been well-educated in character and conduct. They were kind-hearted and compassionate, optimistic and positive in the face of adversity, and able to quickly adjust their mindset and cheer up in difficult situations, thus influencing those around them.
Chen Zhuo is the best example. If it weren't for Zhou Shanhuai and Song Xiaowen, who knows what would have become of Chen Zhuo? He wouldn't have been able to go back to school normally.
"Sir, are you alright?" At this moment, Chen Ke's driver also arrived.
Chen Ke then instructed the driver to take Zhou Shanhuai into the car first, while he and Chen Zhuo tied up the two men on the ground before coming over.
Upon hearing Chen Ke's words, Zhou Shanhuai immediately looked at Chen Zhuo's reaction. He thought Chen Zhuo would refuse very vehemently, but to his surprise, Chen Zhuo nodded expressionlessly and then had the driver help him walk to the car.
Seeing him keep looking back, he comforted him, "Dad, don't be afraid, get in the car first, we'll be there soon."
So Zhou Shanhuai was helped away by the driver with a shocked expression. He thought that was enough to surprise him, but when he got to the car, he was so shocked that he could hardly speak.
"This, this is... this is Chen Ke's car?"
The driver smiled respectfully, "Yes, sir." The driver was very perceptive in addressing Zhou Shanhuai as "sir," since he had just heard his husband call him "father," so he had to call him "sir."
Hearing that familiar address again, Zhou Shanhuai was somewhat dazed. He had always been called "Young Master" before, but after adopting Chen Ke and Chen Zhuo and having children of his own, the servants changed his address from "Young Master" to "Master".
Even after getting into the car, Zhou Shanhuai still couldn't quite believe it.
"Xiao Li, is this car really Chen Ke's?" Even when he was still a real tycoon, his family didn't have a car like this.
Moreover, the money Chen Ke took was far from enough to buy this car, right? At the time, they sold all their big-ticket items to pay off their debts, and all the assets Chen Ke took were just some gold and silver valuables, mostly Song Xiaowen's jewelry.
The driver nodded, looking quite proud. "Of course it's our husband's." Even though it was just bought today.
Thinking back to the envious looks his colleagues gave his husband when he came to the dealership to buy a car and said he would buy it for him too, Li Gang felt extremely proud.
When the man first started hiring a car, his colleagues thought he was only hiring for a day and didn't want to earn that little money. So, this new driver, who had no other work, volunteered to take over.
Although the gentleman only used the car once that day, he did his best to fulfill his duties as a driver.
The man didn't come to charter a car again for the next few days, and he thought the man wouldn't come anymore.
Who would have thought that today the gentleman would bring money and buy the car directly, and even offer to take care of it himself.
From now on, he will be the gentleman's personal driver! Indeed, hard work always pays off.
Zhou Shanhuai was unaware of the driver's inner thoughts. He was shocked and couldn't help but look at the driver with surprise several times, wondering if the driver was some kind of relative of Chen Ke's hometown, which was why he was so proud.
Then I thought again, that makes sense. When I adopted them, I made sure they had no other relatives before I took them in.
As Zhou Shanhuai was wondering, Chen Ke and Chen Zhuo carried a large burlap sack toward the car.
Li Gang quickly got out of the car, opened the trunk for them, and then helped put the burlap sack inside.
As the car suddenly lurched, a "whoosh whoosh whoosh!!!" sound came from the burlap sack.
With a "thump!", Chen Zhuo closed the trunk with a cold smile.
After getting into the car, the group remained silent the entire way, driving directly to the police station.
Upon entering the police station, Zhou Shanhuai was recounting the events to the officers when Chen Ke and Chen Zhuo carried a burlap sack into the yard. Inside the sack, something was twisting and turning as if it were struggling.
The police went up and untied the bag, immediately revealing the two thugs who were tied up. Their mouths were gagged with rags, and they raised their heads, making muffled noises.
"Hiss!" Everyone gasped, seeing that the two men's faces had been beaten so badly that they were almost unrecognizable.
Zhou Shanhuai looked at Chen Ke and Chen Zhuo with suspicion and uncertainty. Seeing that neither of them had any expression on their faces, he couldn't make up his mind for a moment about who had done it.
"What happened? Who hit him?" The police officer looked at Zhou Shanhuai, because he was the person involved.
Without even thinking, Zhou Shanhuai said, "I don't know, officer. It was like this when they came to rob me."
The police couldn't believe it. They immediately removed the rag from the assailants' mouths and asked, "Who beat you up like this?"
The two burly men, their faces bruised and swollen, shook their heads with tears in their eyes.
"Did they physically assault you and beat you up like this?"
"What do you mean by that? They robbed my dad, and instead of interrogating them, you're asking this?" Chen Zhuo said coldly.
