Once they arrived at the hospital, Lin Wu couldn’t help but feel nervous.

“Your old man is not seriously injured, just a broken leg. Later, go talk to your father and wife.”

“Okay,” Lin Wu nodded heavily.

Soon, the two of them reached the hospital room. Lin’s father, possibly exhausted, was already asleep, while Jiang Li and Li Qian were sitting in a corner, chatting.

“Brother Chao, you’re back, and Lin Wu too!” Jiang Li, with sharp eyes, spotted the two of them.

“Shh, keep your voice down. The old man is asleep. Let’s not talk loudly,” Zhou Chao hurriedly cautioned Jiang Li, not wanting to wake his grandfather.

“All Li, why don’t we go for a walk outside?” Zhou Chao gave Jiang Li a meaningful look and held her hand as they walked out of the hospital room, leaving the room to Lin Wu and Li Qian.

“Brother Chao, how did things go?” Jiang Li asked once they were outside.

“Well, it’s not straightforward. If we follow the rules, it could be a bit troublesome. If we don’t follow the rules, it becomes simpler. Let’s see how capable Qin Qingchun’s subordinates are at handling things,” Zhou Chao replied. Jiang Li nodded in understanding and chose not to say much, leaning quietly into Zhou Chao’s embrace.

“Buzz, buzz, buzz!” Just as they were enjoying this peaceful moment, Zhou Chao’s phone in his pocket began to ring.

“Hello, President Qin. What’s up? You’ve arrived in Phoenix? You came all this way? Alright, I’ll come to meet you soon. Okay!”

“What’s going on?” Jiang Li raised her head, looking puzzled.

“Qin Qingchun from Sany Group is in Phoenix. He invited me for dinner. How about you come with me?”

Jiang Li thought for a moment and then shook her head. nove(l)bi(n.)com

“I’ll stay here and keep Li Qian company. She hasn’t been sleeping well these past few days.”

“That’s fine. You stay here and chat with her.”

Zhou Chao patted Jiang Li’s head and then got up to head towards the hospital exit.

Once outside the hospital, Zhou Chao drove his Phantom towards the location where he had arranged to meet Qin Qingchun.

Qin Qingchun chose a picturesque rural estate for their meeting. Zhou Chao noticed that the area near the estate was filled with Mercedes-Benz and BMW cars, but he paid little attention and drove right in.

“Young Master Zhou, please come inside.” As Zhou Chao parked his car, a young man who appeared to be a secretary approached him.

“Where is President Qin?”

“President Qin is barbecuing in the backyard. He asked me to guide you in.”

“Alright,” Zhou Chao nodded and followed the young man inside.

After a series of turns, passing through a long corridor, the scene suddenly opened up before them.

Once they reached the backyard, Zhou Chao saw Qin Qingchun busy at the barbecue grill, preparing a crocodile.

“Young Master Zhou, you’re here. Please have a seat; we can eat soon!” Qin Qingchun, upon seeing Zhou Chao, quickly handed over his task to a nearby bodyguard.

“President Qin, sorry to trouble you to come personally. You’ve gone through a lot!”

“Young Master Zhou, your matters are my matters. Tell me, how can we resolve this?”

Zhou Chao fell silent for a moment and glanced at Qin Qingchun with a hint of sadness.

“President Qin, it all depends on the abilities of your people now, whether they can find the evidence or not. We still need to follow the rules.”

Qin Qingchun, a seasoned individual, immediately understood.

Due to the May Day holiday, it took him a while to find a hotel about 3 kilometers from the hospital. He called and booked a room, then drove to the hotel.

The long night passed, and daylight returned.

The next morning, Zhou Chao was still in bed, lost in dreams.

“Wake up! That grandson is calling again!” The urgent ringtone of his phone startled Zhou Chao awake.

“Damn, this annoying ringtone scared me!” Zhou Chao quickly grabbed his phone from the bedside.

“Hello, wifey, what’s up?” Zhou Chao checked the time and saw that it was already past 10 in the morning.

It’s bright and sunny, and you’re still sleeping like a lazy pig!”

Zhou Chao felt like a bunch of crows had just flown over his head when he heard that.

“I’m up. Are you at the hospital now?”

“Yeah, I’ve been here since early morning.”

“I’ll freshen up and be right over!” Zhou Chao hung up the phone, rushed into the bathroom for a quick wash, and then grabbed his phone and keys before leaving the room.

When Zhou Chao arrived at the hospital, he found Jiang Li, Lin Wu, and others engaged in a lively conversation in the hospital room. Even Lin’s father seemed to be in much better spirits than the previous day.

“Boss, you’re here!” Lin Wu stood up when he saw Zhou Chao enter.

“Sit down, don’t go through all this. Your father seems to be in much better spirits today.”

“We have to thank you for that. If it weren’t for you, we wouldn’t know what to do,” Lin Kun said, attempting to sit up, but Zhou Chao and the others quickly stopped him.

“Mr. Lin, Lin Wu is my brother. This is all expected.”

“Yes, Mr. Lin, just focus on recovering. We’re waiting for you to get better so that Lin Wu and the others can choose a wedding date.”

Just as everyone was chatting and laughing, a group of people was approaching Room 306.

“Knock, knock, knock!” The knocking on the door interrupted their lively conversation.

Zhou Chao looked towards the door and, through the glass window, recognized two familiar faces.

“I’ll step outside for a moment,” Zhou Chao told the others and walked towards the door. Lin Wu quickly followed.

“Station Chief Yang, Lawyer He, why are you both here together?” Zhou Chao was slightly surprised to see them together.

Station Chief Yang was about to address Zhou Chao as ‘Leader’ but stopped himself.

Lawyer He spoke up, “Boss, we’ve sorted things out. We found video footage from that time, and we also investigated the contracting company.”

Zhou Chao was aware of the power of Sany Group, and he knew that their investigations would be swift.

“Show me the video footage.”

He Chuan quickly took out his phone and started playing the video.

It showed a man in white clothes doing something with his hands, and Zhou Chao immediately turned his gaze towards Station Chief Yang.

“We’ve already arrested the person.”

Zhou Chao nodded and then turned his attention to Lawyer He.

“How’s this contracting company?”

“Boss, we’ve investigated it thoroughly. It’s a legitimate company. By the way, Boss, this is the head of the contracting company!” Lawyer He called over a well-dressed man who was standing behind him.

Zhou Chao had a general idea in his mind. He looked at Lin Wu beside him and said, “You guys find a place to talk. I’ll go inside first..”
