On the other side, Jimmy also pulled the reins, but Fire would not move at all.
Click, click…
Jimmy began to panic. Fire was unwilling to go and kept marching on the spot.
Rena and Reya were very confused.
Was Fire not moving really because of Chen Zhao’s threat?
But he was a horse.
How could he possibly understand Chen Zhao?
Increasingly anxious, Jimmy continued to swing the reins.
He tried his best, but Fire just would not listen.
Chen Zhao rode Black Cloud at a moderate speed.
It was his first time riding a horse. He did not dare to ask Black Cloud to charge.
If he fell onto the ground at a speed of a few dozen kilometers, he would be injured too.
Nevertheless, even though Black Cloud was running slowly, they would still easily win.
After all, Jimmy and Fire were still going around in circles at the starting line.
The route was a few hundred meters long. Black Cloud took two minutes and slowly returned to his original spot.
“Cowboy, you lost.”
“No, this doesn’t count! You cheated!” Jimmy shouted.
He could not accept the fact that he had lost to an outsider.
In his opinion, it was not his mistake at all.
It was the damn horse being disobedient.
Jimmy also did not know what was going on.
When he rode Fire on other days, such a thing never happened.
But today, Fire just would not listen to his commands.
“Can I beat him up now?”
Reya glanced at Chen Zhao. She also found the outcome surprising.
However, she could not see any problem, at least not on the surface. Chen Zhao did win.
“Jimmy, don’t let me look down on you. Take the gamble and pay the loss.”
Jimmy trembled in anger and very unwillingly took out a thousand dollars.
His hands were shaking and he could feel his heart bleeding.
His monthly salary was only three thousand. Nobody would be willing to lose a thousand dollars just like this.
“Let’s have another round.” Jimmy looked at Chen Zhao, unwilling to give up.
“No, it’s too boring. You’re obviously not a professional cowboy.” It was clear that Chen Zhao would not agree.
Jimmy felt like vomiting blood. Chen Zhao would not even give him a chance to take revenge.
“Is there nothing fun at your farm?” Chen Zhao was disappointed. “I’m leaving.”
Reya hesitated for a while. “Why don’t you stay here for a bit longer?”
With his back facing Reya, Chen Zhao waved his hand. “Goodbye.”
…
“Morgery, I’m at the entrance. Come out and carry the things.”
Chen Zhao waited at the entrance for at least twenty minutes. Morgery finally walked out of the forest.
He had already stayed in the forest for more than half a month. His clothes were all black and dirty, and his face was also filled with a messy beard.
“Come into the van and clean yourself up. I’ll carry the things to the cave,” Chen Zhao said.
Morgery did not want to be over-polite, but when he boarded the van, he saw Princess’s enormous body.
“Ah! Bear…”
“You’ve met each other before. She’s the one that attacked us back then, but I adopted her and her family later. She’s called Princess now.”
“She won’t bite me, right?”
“No, don’t worry… Princess, come and carry the stuff.”
Morgery watched as Princess actually stood up and carried a huge bag on her paw.
To be honest, Morgery really envied Chen Zhao.
Having lived in the cave for so long, he knew very well the taste of loneliness.
If he could tame an animal into a pet just like Chen Zhao, it would make an excellent friend.
After showering in the RV, Morgery felt really refreshed.
Chen Zhao had brought him many items, all of which he needed urgently.
“You had a fight with someone?” Morgery discovered the bruises on Chen Zhao’s face.
“Had a conflict with a girl. She asked a few people to beat me up.”
“Do you want…”
When Morgery was in deep trouble, only Chen Zhao was willing to help him.
When he was in his most dangerous moment, Chen Zhao even saved him unconditionally.
Hence, he was willing to do anything for Chen Zhao.
“Stop, it’s just a girl. Don’t be so serious.” Chen Zhao looked at Princess. “Princess, bring Briar and Bramble away before they dirty Morgery’s new blanket.”
“Chen, how did you tame her?”
“I can’t really teach you…” Chen Zhao said with a bitter smile.
Morgery had only asked out of curiosity. “Never mind. Bring me some game consoles next time. I feel like going insane here.”
Chen Zhao also wanted to help Morgery to get out of his predicament.
But he did not know how.
Morgery was now being hunted by both legal and illegal parties. His social network was almost useless.
“By the way, I’m probably going to Sacramento for a few days, so I won’t be able to visit you.”
“Alright.” Morgery was really grateful to Chen Zhao.
Chen Zhao had a long chat with Morgery, who had such a lonely time in the forest. He had too much to tell another person.
When Chen Zhao was about to leave, he could clearly see the reluctance in Morgery’s eyes.
“Morgery, the next time I come, I’ll bring you a pet.”
“Sure.” Morgery nodded firmly, his eyes flashing with anticipation.
…
“Why are you so late today?”
“Went to see an old friend.” Home was always the most relaxing place. When Chen Zhao returned home, the anxiety that had followed him for the entire day vanished.
Chen Zhao hugged Fali and did not harass her, which was really rare. “Fali, have you applied for leave?”
“Yes, Robio approved it.”
“How many days?”
“Five.”
“Five days, that’s nice. When we come back, we can get ready to move house.” Chen Zhao hugged Fali tightly.
“Oh, is Faur going with us?” Fali asked.
“I told her about it, and she said she would consider it. As her sister, you should probably talk to her yourself.”
Fali took out her phone at once and called Faur, “Faur, so are you going to dad’s birthday?”
“Let me think about it.”
“Chen and I are leaving the day after tomorrow. What do you have to think about?”
“The day after tomorrow? Isn’t it on the 18?”
“We can’t go on dad’s birthday itself, right?”
“I’m really busy here.”
“Which means you’re not going?”
“I’ll think about it.”
“Again? Just tell straight me if you’re going or not.”
“Alright, I’ll try my best. I’ll give you a reply tomorrow.”
“Great, I’m waiting for good news.”
After Fali hung up, Chen Zhao said, “If Faur isn’t going, we won’t have a driver anymore.”
“If she hears that, she’ll die of anger.”
“Perhaps I should teach Princess how to drive,” Chen Zhao muttered.
“Even if she learns it, she won’t get a license.”
“You need to have a dream. What if it comes true?”
Just then, Chen Zhao received a call.
He took out his phone and realized that it was from Pierce South.
After their cooperation at that time, they had gone their separate ways. Why would Pierce call Chen Zhao?
On the other side, Jimmy also pulled the reins, but Fire would not move at all.
