Chapter 22: Wanting a Car

Police station interrogation room, Zhuo Le held Wei Xiaojia, and Mountain King snuggled at her feet.

There was no one else inside, it was very quiet.

Zhuo Le stared blankly ahead, thinking about who it could be that would send death warriors to deal with them.

“Zhuo Le, you can leave now.” A female police officer opened the door and came in.

Zhuo Le came back to her senses, picked up Wei Xiaojia, and got up to leave.

Outside, He Fancheng hurried to meet them: “Is Xiaojia alright?”

Zhuo Le glanced at him and shook her head: “He’s fine, he’ll be better after the effects of the drug wear off.”

“That’s good, that’s good, let me hold him, you’ve had quite a scare today, go home and get some rest.”

Zhuo Le didn’t stand on ceremony, handing over Wei Xiaojia, who was like a little weight, freeing her hands.

He Fancheng sent the two people and a dog to the door of their house: “I know you have many questions, but this matter is in a confidential stage and cannot be told to you for the time being.

But I promise that such a situation will not happen again in the future. Just live in Dongzhou City with peace of mind. If you need anything, tell me, and I will try my best to satisfy you.”

Zhuo Le’s eyes flickered, and she sized up He Fancheng for a moment: “I want to buy a car.”

He Fancheng, who had prepared all sorts of explanations…

“A car? What kind of car?”

“Four wheels, something that can run and sit in is fine, second-hand, third-hand, fourth-hand, it doesn’t matter how many hands it’s been through.”

He Fancheng…

“This, I’ll help you ask around later. If there’s a suitable one, I’ll buy it for you, and then find someone to teach you how to drive.”

Zhuo Le’s mood, which had been gloomy all day, instantly improved: “Thank you, Uncle.”

He Fancheng’s mouth twitched, she called him Uncle.

“You’re welcome, um, who did you learn your skills from?”

“Wei Tianxia.”

As if it was an expected answer, He Fancheng didn’t ask any more questions: “Get some rest.”

Wei Xiaojia woke up in the middle of the night, still remembering what happened before he passed out, and woke up with a frightened pale face.

Zhuo Le hugged him and patted him: “Don’t be afraid, the bad guys have all been caught by the police uncles. Mom will teach you very powerful skills in the future, so you won’t be afraid of any more bad guys.”

The little guy gradually recovered, no longer afraid, but full of fighting spirit as if he had been injected with chicken blood, and didn’t fall asleep until dawn.

The next day, both mother and son woke up late.

Mountain King went to work by himself, earning money to support his owners.

A dog’s life is hard.

At noon, the mother and son went to a restaurant to eat. After eating, they packed some food and went to give the “pillar” of the family an extra meal.

They weren’t in a hurry in the afternoon, so the mother and son strolled over leisurely.

They arrived at the place a little after two o’clock in the afternoon. Mountain King was on a break.

Seeing Zhuo Le and Wei Xiaojia coming, he was visibly happy, his big tail wagging.

Wei Xiaojia hugged and snuggled him, feeding him delicious food.

Zhuo Le walked to Hu Shuo’s side. He was currently filming Xiao Xiaoxiao’s solo scenes.

“Was Mountain King well-behaved this morning?”

Hu Shuo smiled and gestured for Zhuo Le to sit down: “I originally thought Mountain King was a mature and stable man, but I didn’t expect him to actually be a childish little boy.

When you’re around, he’ll always throw a little tantrum from time to time, waiting for you to coax him.

When you’re not around, hey, he’s very efficient in everything he does, without any temper at all.

Tell me, isn’t he just like a child?”

Zhuo Le smiled. Mountain King used to go up the mountain to hunt by himself, brave and invincible, where would he have a little temper?

He was also very well-behaved at home.

It was only when they came to film that she discovered that the little thing was a stubborn character like Wei Xiaojia. Sure enough, what kind of owner raises what kind of dog.

Mountain King is only two years old, so he’s just a child, Director Hu, please bear with him.

Hu Shuo waved his hand: It’s okay, it’s okay, Mountain King is the treasure of our crew, a little temper makes him even more adorable.

There’s one more scene, and Mountain King’s scenes for today will be finished. Tomorrow we’ll be running around to more places. We have to go to the bus station early in the morning, to a nearby village before noon, and to the seaside in the afternoon. We should be done by dark.

The day after tomorrow are the out-of-town scenes. Get ready, you might have to leave for two days.

High salary is definitely accompanied by high effort. Running around all day and having to go on business trips, Zhuo Le felt tired, but had no objections.

She couldn’t help but mention the car again. She wondered when He Fancheng would have news.

Zhuo Le said there was no problem, and Hu Shuo asked about Wei Xiaojia’s health.

The two chatted idly.

In the frame, Xiao Xiaoxiao was acting in a scene where she was escaping in the mountains.

The little girl wasn’t big, but she acted quite well.

Xiaoxiao is very talented.

Xiao Xiaoxiao’s father was also next to her, and said with a smile when he heard this: This child started pulling our family to play various roles as soon as she could speak. The little person acted convincingly and made us laugh.

When she got older, we took her to see a movie, and she insisted on getting into the movie screen, saying she wanted to perform for everyone to see too.

So, when she was five years old, we took her to run around with the crew.

She’s young, and the people in the crew take good care of her. Until now, she hasn’t suffered any hardships. We, as parents, are relieved and grateful for this.

But she’s really serious about acting. When she has nothing to do, she watches TV at home and takes notes.

Because she promised us that she wouldn’t neglect her studies, she studies and does her homework whenever she has time, without adults urging her.

Sometimes we feel sorry for her and advise her to go out and play, but she doesn’t want to.

Zhuo Le sighed: So, nothing is readily available. Whether you have talent or not, you need to put in effort.

Xiaoxiao is so young, but she has the perseverance and courage that many adults don’t have. It’s really rare.

Zhuo Le praised her sincerely, and Xiao’s father was very happy to hear it.

Yes, the child is working hard. We, as parents, can’t provide her with help, so we can only support her.

I quit my job to accompany her to film. Whether she will continue on this path in the future or not, at least there will be no regrets now.

Your family is very open-minded and has a lot of courage. Xiaoxiao is a happy child.

Xiao’s father laughed out loud. Others said they were unscrupulous parents, who were lazy and didn’t go to work, didn’t work and didn’t earn money, sucking the blood of their several-year-old daughter, simply losing all conscience.

Only those who really love their children can understand their thoughts.

Hu Shuo, who was listening to the two praising her, couldn’t help but smile: Comrade Zhuo, I think your Xiaojia has a very good image and is very interested in filming. Would you like to try this path too?

Zhuo Le had thought about this when Mountain King first entered this industry.

I won’t stop Wei Xiaojia if he’s willing. If Director Hu has a suitable role, consider him, no matter how big or small the role is.

Hu Shuo agreed repeatedly: Of course, of course. He liked Wei Xiaojia very much. He was small, acted as both a father and a mother, and was sensible, obedient, and easy to learn. Everyone liked him.

When today’s filming ended, the two people and a dog happily went home.

Zhuo Le was lazy and ate at a restaurant again.

After eating, they strolled around before going home to rest.

The next day’s scenes were particularly busy, and Zhuo Le followed them everywhere, not having time to enjoy herself.

At the same time, at the railway station police station.

Comrade, comrade, there are thieves, they stole our bags, money, everything, damn thieves, may they die a horrible death. Granny Wei slapped her thighs and howled.

Next to her, Wei Changfu shrank beside Granny Wei, timid and afraid, like a country daughter-in-law who had never seen the world, with none of the domineering attitude she had at home.

She even claimed to be a worker with face, it’s a good thing there are no acquaintances here.

The mother and son were both disheveled and ragged, and I don’t know what they had been through.

Wan Shun was very calm. Railway stations often have theft, robbery, human trafficking, fights and other things.

Petty theft is a small case.

Old comrade, don’t worry, speak slowly.
