Chapter 168: The Correct Way To Kidnap A Billionaire

An uproar erupted in the town that night.
Practically everyone knew that the victims of the fire and their relatives all received a large amount of gold at night. No one could explain who exactly gave it to them.
Three families insisted that a wolf god gave them the gold. They also claimed that the town had an ancient wolf god legend.
…
Chen Zhao woke up in the morning. Last night had been very busy.
In the morning, the town was busy as well. A news channel even came to interview them and many people brought out their gold as evident. Of course, this had nothing to do with Chen Zhao.
Knock, knock.
Chen Zhao opened the door. Bant was holding a freshly-made pizza.
“Chen, I knew you’d get up now.”
“Thanks. I’m hungry.”
“You got new family members?” Bant peered in and saw the Silly Twins curled up in the hallway.
“Yeah, I found them on the street.”
“Chen, thank you.”
“You already said that yesterday. I don’t want to hear you say it every day.”
“No, yesterday was for yesterday. Today is for today. They’re two things.”
“I don’t understand.’
“Okay, I’m leaving. Bye.” Bant hugged Chen Zhao and walked away.
Ken was a victim of the fire, so Chen Zhao obviously included them. The eight bars of gold indeed helped them with their crisis.
Even though Bant had seen through him, Chen Zhao still decided to pretend like he didn’t understand. Some things could be known but didn’t have to be said out loud.
Actually, Chen Zhao was still in pain. He’d given out more than millions of dollars, but he felt like he’d done the stupidest thing in his life.
Just then, Azina came over again. She yelped when she saw the Silly Twins.
“Oh my god, you got new pets? Are they wolves?”
“No, they’re Alaskan huskies, just a bit bigger.” Chen Zhao poured a glass of milk. “Did you eat breakfast. Do you want to try Mary’s cooking?”
“Sure. What are their names?”
“Black Mammon, White Mammon,” Chen Zhao said.
The Silly Twins were huge. Even Walter was a bit smaller than them. Azina looked even tinier before them. However, girls loved these furry animals. The Silly Twins had pretty fur too.
“Are you going out?”
“Not in the morning,” Chen Zhao answered. “Going out in the afternoon.”
Yesterday and the day before, Chen Zhao was extremely nervous over Phillip Quinn’s matter. When he woke up, he realized that his nerves were all gone.
He was even a bit excited to do something big in the afternoon. This was probably the reverse reaction after his fear or nerves reached the max limit.
Anyway, he was excited. Perhaps this was because he no longer feared life or death.
The closer they got to noon, the more excited Chen Zhao grew.
“Chen, what are you doing in the afternoon?” Azina looked at him quizzically. “You’ve been jumpy all morning. You’re not going to go rob someone, right?”
“This is for adults. I might not come back tonight after going out. Help me take care of them.”
“Can I bring them home?”
“Sure,” Chen Zhao said, nodding. After the job in the afternoon, he also had to attend Leonardo’s birthday at night. There probably won’t be anyone at home the entire day, so he could have Azina help take care of the demons.
“What do you want to eat for lunch? I can make it,” Chen Zhao said.
“Barbecue.”
“That won’t show my cooking skills at all.”
“What are you good at?”
“Egg fried rice.”
…
This was probably Chen Zhao’s first time going out without his toolkit after becoming an illegal doctor. To be honest, he felt weird leaving empty-handed.
When he’d heard about Phillip Quinn’s disgusting history—especially Ethan and Caprice’s daughter’s inhumane experience—Chen Zhao had really wanted to smash that old man’s head in.
However, the consequences would be too severe, so Chen Zhao decided to attack after putting himself in a relatively safer position. It had to at least be a method that people couldn’t get proof of.
Fickley Street
A car crash caused a traffic jam on the entire street. By the time Chen Zhao got there, he couldn’t go forward at all and could only go by foot.
Just then, his phone rang. It was from Captain Lloyd Werde. “Mr. Chen, where are you right now?”
“I’m at the entrance of Fickley Street. I think there’s a car crash. I’m going to go look.”
“No need,” Lloyd said. “We caused the traffic jam. Turn right and walk for 900 feet, then turn toward the Testa Building and walk 600 feet. Sit in the open-air café and wait for my message.”
Chen Zhao went to the designated location. He ordered a cup of coffee and sat down. As soon as he did so, he saw a couple fighting.
Sobbing, the girl ran into the street and was hit forcefully by a car. Chen Zhao froze. He was just about to get up and check when the man sitting at the same table grabbed his arm.
“Mr. Chen, this was arranged.”
Chen Zhao’s face filled with shock. “You’re…Captain?”
The man didn’t reply. He jutted his chin out. Chen Zhao followed in that direction and saw three identical black cars stopped on the road.
A siren sounded, but the ambulance was stuck behind the three cars. The front of the road was jammed because the woman had been hit. The cars also couldn’t reverse because the ambulance had arrived.
“Phillip Quinn is in one of those three cars?”
“Yes.”
“How do I get close?”
As soon as Chen Zhao asked, the fire hydrant beside the road exploded. A beam of water sprayed out. The road started filling with water and was soon half-covered.
The men in the cars were forced to get out. Chen Zhao saw the old man in the middle car. He was brought out by bodyguards from the other two cars.
Phillip was surrounded by a dozen bodyguards in black. Each guard was huge and muscular and they circled Phillip.
Their destination was probably close by, so they decided to walk. But as soon as they walked out of the fire hydrant’s range, traffic started flowing again.
The men had to get back in their cars. The moment they sent their boss to the car, it accelerated without waiting for the other guards to get on.
Chen Zhao had witnessed it all and he was utterly impressed. It had only been one minute from Phillip and his guards getting out of the car to getting in again.
But in that one minute, the driver had changed.
