Chapter 124: Something Happened!

Not long after, Zhou Hao returned from the front door with a huge bag of snacks.

He threw it on the coffee table and smiled. “Pick whatever you want to eat. I’ve bought everything.”

As he spoke, he looked at Xu Ling and handed her a chocolate box. “Xu Ling, I remember that you like chocolate with the panda patterns. Here, this is specially bought for you.”

Xu Ling received the chocolate in surprise and opened it carefully.

It was really engraved with a panda pattern.

“Zhou Hao, there’s only one supermarket in the entire city that sells panda chocolates. Don’t tell me you specially went to that supermarket?” Xu Ling looked up at Zhou Hao.

Zhou Hao said casually, “Fortunately, it’s not far. Otherwise, even if I were a martial artist, I wouldn’t be able to buy it even if I broke my leg… How is it? Are you touched? Hehe, are there any rewards?”

Xu Ling was indeed touched, but after Zhou Hao said this, her emotions disappeared. “Yes!”

With that said, she stood up and kicked Zhou Hao. “Hmph, alright, I’ll admit that you’re considerate. Here’s your reward!”

“So mean.” Zhou Hao stared at Xu Ling’s chest indifferently.

“I like being mean to you. What’s wrong…” Halfway through her sentence, Xu Ling realized that there was something wrong with Zhou Hao’s gaze. She pondered for a moment and immediately felt ashamed and furious.” Zhou Hao, you’re shameless! ”

The two of them circled the sofa and chased after each other.

Zhang Yi shook his head and continued eating his snacks.

After fooling around for a while, the two of them sat on the sofa and started eating snacks.

Soon, Xu Ling and Zhang Yi discussed Zhou Hao’s breakthrough to become a martial artist.

The two of them were very curious. After all, consuming rare resources required time for the body to absorb in order to have a chance of breaking through. However, Zhou Hao had only reached the first level of blood essence before this. His physical talent was ordinary and his absorption efficiency was very low. Logically speaking, in such a short period of time, he should have been able to increase his blood essence to at most the third level.

Zhou Hao casually stopped Xu Ling from continuing to ask.

The three of them chatted until almost 9 pm, and they barely had any snacks left.

“Zhou Hao, why aren’t your parents back yet?” Xu Ling couldn’t help but ask.

“That’s right. Don’t Uncle and Auntie usually come back early? Even if they have something to do, they shouldn’t be this late, right?” Zhang Yi asked curiously. He knew that Zhou Hao’s parents had been leaving work early recently.

Zhou Hao frowned. “I’ll call my father.”

He picked up his phone and dialed his father’s number.

Du…

It rang more than ten times, but no one picked up.

Zhou Hao then called his mother, Wang Shuyun, but she didn’t pick up as well.

“Maybe they’re on their way.” Seeing the worry on Zhou Hao’s face, Xu Ling couldn’t help but comfort him.

Zhou Hao shook his head. “My parents usually take the subway. It’s easy for them to answer the phone on the way. I’ll call them again later.”

Soon, ten minutes passed.

Zhou Hao called his parents again, but no one picked up.

Swoosh.

Zhou Hao stood up and gritted his teeth. “I’ll go find my parents. Something must have happened to them!”

Xu Ling and Zhang Yi stood up as well.

“Wait, let’s go together.”

“Let’s go to Auntie’s company first.”

The two of them spoke one after another.

Zhou Hao nodded.

The three of them left Yang Garden Residence together and rushed to the Jing Pharmaceutical Company where Wang Shuyun was located.

In Huadong City.

On the left side of Qu Yang Avenue, almost a third of the Jing Pharmaceutical Company was located there.

Although it was already past 9 pm, the street was still very lively. Many employees who were working overtime under the streetlights were eating at restaurants on both sides of the street.

When Zhou Hao, Zhang Yi, and Xu Ling arrived, the restaurants were even more crowded. The entire street seemed very crowded.

“Zhou Hao, don’t worry too much. Judging from the situation, Auntie is probably still working overtime,” Zhang Yi consoled.

“That’s right, Zhou Hao. So many employees haven’t gotten off work yet. This shows that they’re indeed very busy tonight,” Xu Ling also said.

Zhou Hao’s worried expression eased a little.

The three of them passed through the big crowd and arrived at the gate of Jing Pharmaceutical Company.

“What are you guys doing?” The security guard at the door stopped the three students.

Zhou Hao immediately said, “My mom isn’t off work yet. I’ll go in and take a look.”

The security guard suddenly understood. “Oh, they’re the family members of the staff. Tell me your mother’s name and sign here.”

“My mom’s name is Wang Shuyun. She’s in charge of the medicinal herbs reserves,” Zhou Hao replied and signed.

“The medicinal herbs reserves are located in Area C, don’t run around after entering,” the security guard reminded.

Zhou Hao and the other two nodded and quickly entered.

They arrived at Area C and had yet to enter when they heard the discussion of the employees coming in and out.

“This Wang Shuyun is pretty unlucky. Last time, she accidentally ruined the Scarlet Blood Vine and the Rhino Horn. This time, she actually ruined the Yellow Poria Flower, the Ginseng Spirit, and other valuable medicinal herbs.”

“That’s right. Yellow Poria Flower and Ginseng Spirit are both medicinal herbs used to refine high-level medicinal pills. They’re much more expensive than the Scarlet Blood Vine and the Rhino Horn. I wonder if she’ll be able to pay for them this time?”

“She definitely won’t be able to pay it back. Moreover, I heard that there’s something going on behind the scenes this time!”

“Oh? What is it? Tell me.”
