Chapter 415 - Hate At First Sight

Chapter 415: Hate At First Sight

Despite his promise, Chen Zhao still snuck into the bedroom in the middle of the night.

“You’ve got a solution?” Fali was in a light sleep and could feel Chen Zhao’s hands moving on her body.

“Nope.”

“Then why are you here?”

“It’s really troublesome. Importantly, we can’t find the culprit.” Speaking did not slow down Chen Zhao’s actions at all.

Fali began to pant. “Can you tell me what’s happened?”

Chen Zhao summarized the incident. After remaining silent for a while, Fali said, “Protect those three women.”

“Yes.”

...

In the morning, the AI system automatically opened the blinds, and the warm sunlight shone through the windows.

Chen Zhao only got up after Fali had prepared breakfast.

Then, Fali went to work and Chen Zhao went to the gym again.

Adapted to his new strength, he was delighted.

After that, he went for a swim in the lake. It was a really pleasant day.

“Sir, a call for you.” Just then, Chen Zhao heard the AI system’s electronic voice from the speaker.

The AI system was connected to Chen Zhao and Fali’s phones. If the phone was at home and was not picked up for over thirty seconds, the AI system will inform them.

Moreover, if a special call was not picked up, an automatic reply would be given: I am currently busy and I will call back later, or the system would initiate the voicemail mode.

Chen Zhao had to admit that his life had become much more convenient after installing the AI system.

After all, the system cost over a hundred thousand dollars. Chen Zhao felt that it was worth it.

After getting to shore, he said to the system, “Pick up the call.”

“Hey, Chen.”

“Hi, Steven.”

“The film location is ready. Can you come here? We’ll probably be starting in the next two days. I need to discuss the plan with you.”

“Sure. Gimme the address.”

“It’s an island about forty nautical miles from shore.”

“Does the story require filming on an island?”

“Yes, the Mexican Gang’s base will be here. The plot is mainly about the conflict between the protagonists and the gang.”

“Alright.” Chen Zhao was neither an actor nor an investor, so he only needed to know the plot briefly. He had no right to ask Steven or the investors to change the script.

“Bring Amon here too.”

“Okay.”

Chen Zhao thought that it was inconvenient to bring Princess and the other pets out to sea.

He had to leave them at a place. After some consideration, he decided to send them to Dell’s house.

“Chen, why are you here?”

“I think I need to leave my pets here again.” I can’t ask Dell to look after my pets every time. Looks like I need to think of a solution... “Also, lend me a car.”

“Of course, just pick a car from my garage,” Dell said generously.

Without being over-polite, Chen Zhao chose an ordinary Volkswagen.

To be honest, it was not easy to find such a car in Dell’s garage.

It was full of sports cars. The ordinary car really stood out among them.

After reaching the port, Chen Zhao was about to park the car when another car charged into the parking space at high speed.

Chen Zhao stuck his head out and looked at the car. “Hey... Buddy, I saw this parking space first.”

The other driver, a lady with glasses, also stuck her head out of the window. With no makeup at all, she looked like she was in her late twenties, and her hair was also casually put in a bun.

“Does that mean it’s yours?” The lady with glasses gave Chen Zhao the middle finger and then closed the door.

“F**k!” Chen Zhao cursed and went to find another parking space.

He only managed to do so after driving a few rounds in the parking lot.

Needless to say, his good mood was entirely destroyed.

When he entered the port, he saw the lady with glasses talking to someone else.

The person should be the captain of the yacht. There were many such small passenger yachts at the port, but the cost was not fixed. Passengers would need to discuss transport with the captain in advance.

Chen Zhao glanced at the lady and then approached the captain. “Hey, do you go to Geya Island?”

“Oh, you’re going to Geya Island as well?” The captain looked at Chen Zhao.

The lady with glasses also glanced at him. Chen Zhao nodded, “How much does it cost?”

“A thousand dollars, round trip, but you can only stay there for at most six hours.”

“I’m not with her. Also, a thousand is too expensive. I can give you at most five hundred.”

“Wait, I’m with him,” the lady said, grabbing Chen Zhao’s wrist. “We’re going together.”

“Ms., do we know each other?”

“We can still ride the yacht together. It’s clearly cheaper for two people.”

“Buddy, whether you’re going alone or together, five hundred is too little. Eight hundred, at least.”

“Eight hundred? I only need a thousand and two hundred to rent a yacht for a day, and I can play on it for the entire day,” Chen Zhao bargained.

“Seven hundred then,” the captain compromised.

“Six hundred.” The lady with glasses pulled Chen Zhao. “Three hundred from each of us.”

“You’ll pay four hundred.” Chen Zhao smiled.

“Why should I pay two hundred more than you?”

“Because you took my parking space just now.”

“Are you a member of the crew? I’m going there too. I’ll be able to help you there,” the lady said.

“No, I don’t need help.”

“Are you an actor? Maybe I can get more shots for you.”

“I’ll take six hundred dollars, but are you done discussing?” the captain urged. “If you keep delaying, I’ll have to raise the price. I still need to come back and get another passenger.”

“Alright, six hundred, we’ll pay half each.” Chen Zhao also did not want to waste any time. After all, his time was more precious.

The two boarded the yacht which set sail, but its speed was rather slow.

“Captain, can we speed up please?” the lady with glasses shouted impatiently.

“No, that’s the max speed of my yacht. It’ll be dangerous if we go any faster.”

Chen Zhao frowned. Their speed was clearly unusually slow.

The captain must have noticed that they were in a hurry, so he deliberately slowly the yacht down in order to extort more money from them.

Furthermore, his reason was very valid. Even if they called the police, it would be useless.

“Hey, think of a solution,” the lady said anxiously.

“What can I do?”

“What a useless man,” the lady complained.

“Why don’t you think of a solution to prove that you’re not useless?” Chen Zhao rolled his eyes and ignored the lady.

“Do you believe that I have many ways to get you kicked out of the crew?” the lady threatened.

“Nope,” Chen Zhao sneered.
