Expressionlessly, Chen Zhao looked at Xiao He and Carrie.
The two girls were so nervous that they were about to explode.
After a moment of silence, Chen Zhao asked, "What is it?"
"It's like this. Carrie has an adoptive father …"
"Wait … She has an adoptive father?" Chen Zhao remembered that Qing Ping Sage had said that Carrie didn't have any relatives in her investigation. She'd grown up in an orphanage. Chen Zhao looked at Carrie seriously. "Tell me the truth. You have an adoptive father?"
"Yes, but not really. When I was in the orphanage, I was adopted by him. Later, he went bankrupt, so I was sent back to the orphanage. But I've always kept in touch with him."
"And then?"
"Recently, I realized that he's in trouble."
Carrie wasn't sure either. It wasn't trouble.
But she still felt that being with a cult would be troublesome even if it wasn't.
"What kind of trouble?"
"I'm not sure. I think he joined a cult."
"It's useless. Cultists are all crazy. Your adoptive father's been brainwashed. I suggest you kill him to prevent him from harming society." Chen Zhao didn't feel bad at all. "If you tell me about that cult, I can help you get rid of it while I'm at it."
How could Carrie agree?
In her eyes, Chen Zhao was really cold-blooded.
If he knew about her adoptive father …
Her adoptive father might really be killed by Chen Zhao.
"Mr. Chen, give me a few days. I promise I'll come back after it's done." Carrie looked at Chen Zhao sincerely.
"How can you promise?"
Seeing that pretending to be pitiful was useless, Carrie gritted her teeth and thought.
A moment later, Carrie looked up and said, "I'll sign a contract with you."
Chen Zhao's lips curled into a smile.
"Are you sure?"
"Yes, I'm sure."
"I agree to your request." Chen Zhao finally relented.
Soon, Chen Zhao drew up a contract.
In the contract, Carrie had to come back within 15 days.
Otherwise, the contract would be triggered automatically.
Chen Zhao could lock onto Carrie immediately.
If she came back within the time limit, she would listen to any of Chen Zhao's arrangements for the next three years.
But if she didn't come back within the time limit, she would be enslaved by Chen Zhao for ten years.
Carrie had no choice but to sign the contract.
She had planned to bargain with Chen Zhao for a while, but Chen Zhao was right.
But reality did not go as he wished.
Chen Zhao had the attitude of "if you want to sign it, then sign it. If you don't, then forget it."
Although Carrie gritted her teeth in anger, she still signed the contract in the end.
Of course, she also made a small request.
Xiao He also wanted to be her helper and gain temporary freedom.
After completing the contract, Chen Zhao lifted the restriction on entering and leaving the community.
"Alright, you can come and go now. Remember, the two of you only have 15 days of free time. If you don't come back by yourselves within 15 days, I will personally go and find you."
Both of them felt the same way.
They all knew that Chen Zhao wasn't joking.
Just as Chen Zhao was about to leave, Carrie suddenly stopped him.
"Um … Mr. Chen …"
"Any other questions?"
"Can you lend us some money … to fund our activities?"
"According to the bank interest, how much do you want?"
"How much can you borrow?"
Chen Zhao chuckled. How much did Carrie look down on him by asking this question?
"I can borrow as much as you dare."
"A hundred thousand? Dollars? "Carrie asked tentatively.
Even Xiao He could not help but roll her eyes. How much did Carrie look down on Chen Zhao?
Xiao He did not know how much money Chen Zhao had.
But she was sure that it would be an astronomical number.
"This is a check for one million dollars. It's also an advance on your salary for the next 10 years."
"Wait … I didn't plan on asking for a million dollars. That's too much. Also, according to the contract, we have to be enslaved by you for 10 years if we don't come back in 15 days. It hasn't even started yet."
"No, I have a feeling that you won't come back in 15 days. Take it. It's better than nothing."
When Carrie received the check for a million dollars …
She did not know what she was feeling right now.
It was clearly an unprecedented amount of money.
But why could she not be happy?
…
"Carrie, what do we do now? What's your plan? "
"Cash this check first."
Xiao He was silent for a while. "Good idea."
She had never seen so much money before. She did not even have a million yuan, much less a million dollars.
The next day, they did not sleep at all.
With such a huge sum of money, they had forgotten the purpose of borrowing it.
Their minds were filled with how to spend the money.
Yes … That's right. They had almost forgotten their original intentions.
Now, they just wanted to have some fun.
Early in the morning, they ran to the bank to cash the check.
With the bank's credit card, they really felt like they were on cloud nine.
Then, they went on a shopping spree for the whole day.
The two of them didn't come to their senses until they finished spending at the high-end restaurant.
"Carrie, what did we do today?" Xiao He said, covering her face. "We wasted the whole day."
Carrie's expression was also terrible. "Don't worry. We still have plenty of time."
Then … the next day, they went on a shopping spree again.
That night, Carrie roared, "That guy did it on purpose! He purposely gave us so much money to make us fall! He's a demon!"
Xiao He felt the same way. She knew that they had something important to do and that they did not have much time left.
However, they could not help it … Since breakfast, they had been lost in the dream of being rich.
"Carrie, we can't go on like this. We need to act quickly. After we bring your adoptive father back, we still have time to play. Just not now."
"All right, I understand." Carrie nodded heavily.
On the third day … they were defeated by the demon of desire again.
They fell into depravity once more, sinking into the pleasure of shopping.
On the third night, they repented once more and firmly decided that they had to do something important the next day.
On the fourth day, they finally overcame all the difficulties.
However, it was not really difficult.
"Carrie, where are we going now?"
"To Bion … my adoptive father's house."
"Why are we going there? Can't you give him a call? Let him come back on his own? "
"If I could, I would just call him at home instead of asking him to let us out."
"All right. Why are we going to your adoptive father's house? He should be in Europe, right? "
