The "child" was squeezed so hard by Luo Chao that his ribs were about to break. He saw the determination in Luo Chao's eyes and believed Luo Chao wasn't joking, so he said directly, "Good brother, I was wrong... please let me go!"

The voice indeed sounded very weathered. The people who were shouting beside them didn't hear clearly, but those standing around did, and for a moment, no one spoke. Even the woman holding Luo Chao's leg stopped crying, staring in panic at the person in Luo Chao's hands.

Luo Chao tugged the corner of his mouth, relaxed his grip a bit, and asked again, "Say that again, I didn't hear clearly just now."

The person resignedly said, "I was wrong, we shouldn't have been deceitful, please spare us!"

The crowd, upon hearing the "child" speak, stared incredulously at the "child" and then at the woman collapsed on the ground.

No one knew who started it, but someone shouted, "Damn, swindlers!"

"Not a child? What's the matter then?"

"Must be a dwarf..."

The crowd then began accusing the woman and the dwarf in Luo Chao's hands. Luo Chao put the man into the car and said to the woman slumped on the ground, "Auntie, I'm not blaming you, but if things are hard, must you resort to fraud? Don't do this again."

Saying this, he pulled the still-dazed Zhong Yu away and walked out of the crowd.

After walking a bit further, Luo Chao loosened his grip and said to Zhong Yu, "Don't let your compassion get the best of you in the future. If you get taken advantage of, you might not have someone to help you."

After speaking, he prepared to leave, but Zhong Yu suddenly grabbed Luo Chao. Luo Chao stopped and turned to look at Zhong Yu, asking, "What's up?"

Zhong Yu looked at Luo Chao, a slight blush on her face, and said, "Thank you. You always save me; I really don't know how to thank you properly."

Luo Chao laughed and said, "No need to be polite. I'm not one to save everyone, just thought you're a good kid and shouldn't be wronged like this. Even if I wasn't here today, it'll be sorted out at the police station."

Zhong Yu shook her head and said, "I really should thank you, but I don't know how..."

"What, offer yourself to me?" Luo Chao joked as he saw Zhong Yu insist.

Zhong Yu's body stiffened, and she looked up to discern Luo Chao's expression. Luo Chao, seeing her take it seriously, thought, damn it, the joke was too much — even if Zhong Yu wanted to offer herself, I couldn't date her. Jiang Yuanyuan would kill me! Besides, I'm on duty now!

Sigh! Thinking of this, Luo Chao sighed inwardly — there's a girl but can't date, what a pointless encounter!

After feeling sentimental, Luo Chao said to Zhong Yu, "Don't take it to heart; I was joking."

Then he said to Zhong Yu, "Hurry home; I need to go."

Luo Chao waved at Zhong Yu, who was still blushing and in a daze, and then got into Yuan's car and drove away in a cloud of dust.

Yuan glanced at Luo Chao as he drove, frowned, and said, "That girl just now... do you like her?"

Luo Chao asked puzzledly, "How can you say that? She's just my classmate, that's all."

Yuan said no more, drove seriously the whole way, and once they reached the villa, he spoke again, "No matter who you like now, I still hope you can be with our lady; that's my last notification to you."

Luo Chao was puzzled, didn't get out of the car, and asked, "Uncle Yuan, why do you always want me to be with Yuanyuan? My task is only to protect her, and after it's done, I have to leave."

Yuan said nothing more, opened the car door, and got out.

Unable to understand, Luo Chao scratched his head, then hugged his computer and took his phone, and also got out of the car.

Once back at the villa, Luo Chao went into his room, opened his laptop, connected to the internet, fingers flying as he hacked into his own computer. As soon as the old man opened those videos stored on Luo Chao's computer, only three words appeared: "Contact Me!"

Oh, there's a symbol too.

Luo Chao was now just waiting for the old man to take the bait. Meanwhile, he browsed the web, waiting for news.

Around eight o'clock in the evening, a notification sounded on Luo Chao's computer — a "ding," Luo Chao sitting cross-legged on the bed, breathed slowly, opened his eyes, and showed a triumphant smile, thinking, old man, I've been waiting for you.

Before Luo Chao could check the computer, not two minutes later, Yuan came with a phone, knocking on Luo Chao's door.

Feigning confusion, Luo Chao looked at Yuan and asked, "I have a phone, Uncle Yuan, why give me another?"

Yuan wiped the sweat from his forehead and said, "This is the master's instruction, seems it's the call from Master Zhou."

Luo Chao thought, is the old man really so impatient? Just two minutes! Tsk tsk, looks like he's lacking restraint.

So he pretended to look puzzled, took the phone, said a fake "Hello!"

Old Zhou had heard Luo Chao's words earlier, his heart already at a boiling point, holding a computer with only three characters, he shouted into the phone, "Little bastard! What exactly do you want!"

Luo Chao held the phone away to keep his ears intact, then chuckled and said, "Old man, I have something to bother you with."

"Quickly unlock my computer!" Old Zhou didn't care about what Luo Chao said; having just seen the foreplay, suddenly being cut off, how could he not be furious!

Luo Chao, however, calmly said, "Old man, it's my computer, isn't it? As long as you agree to help me with one thing, I surely won't put you in a difficult spot."

Old Zhou was so mad at Luo Chao that he wanted to vomit blood. Damn kid, when you come back, don't let me break your three legs!

Daring to say he'd put him in a difficult spot!

"Well, old man, I just want you to help me investigate something, how about it?" Luo Chao, seeing old Zhou not speak, knew he was genuinely angry, so swiftly pushed forward.

"What thing?" Old Zhou asked through gritted teeth.

Luo Chao glanced at Yuan, who had returned to the living room to watch TV, and said in a low voice, "It's a poison, initially acts like a drug when it first takes effect, but afterwards it gradually corrodes and destroys the internal organs, do you have a solution?"

Old Zhou pondered for a while and then asked, "Are you poisoned?"

Luo Chao was full of black lines, saying, "No, it's a friend."

"How do I usually educate you? Other people's life and death have nothing to do with us! If today you were poisoned, would anyone help you?" Old Zhou's fury surged again, yelling into the phone.

Luo Chao held the phone far away, waited for the noise from the receiver to disappear, then put the phone to his ear again, saying, "Yes, you taught me not to care about others' life and death, but the work you let me do is all about saving lives and helping the injured, aren't you slapping your own face! Are you going to help or not?"
