Chapter 37: Tiger Demi-Humans (1/2)

Following Wen Yuanyuan’s instructions, Shen Cheng finally stopped the car in front of Lingshi City Central Hospital.

“Is someone in your family hospitalized?” Shen Cheng asked as he watched Wen Yuanyuan unbuckling her seatbelt.

“Yes, it’s my mother.” Wen Yuanyuan nodded, unbuckling the seatbelt and preparing to get out of the car.

“Wait a minute.” Shen Cheng suddenly gestured, pulling out an envelope and handing it to Wen Yuanyuan as she looked at him in confusion: “This is your salary for this month. I’m giving it to you in advance. I hope your family recovers soon.”

Taking the heavy envelope and feeling its substantial weight, Wen Yuanyuan knew that it contained far more than six thousand. Thinking about her dire financial situation, her eyes teared up a bit.

She bowed deeply to Shen Cheng and said, “Thank you!”

Waving his hand, Shen Cheng replied casually, “It’s what you deserve.”

“…”

Instead of leaving immediately, Wen Yuanyuan sat quietly in the car for a while, making eye contact with Shen Cheng. After some hesitation, she spoke up, “Do you want… to come into the hospital with me?”

For some reason, Wen Yuanyuan felt too embarrassed to directly say, “Come visit my mom in the hospital,” so she left it unspoken.

However, Shen Cheng quickly understood, smiling and nodding, “Sure.”

Just as a hint of joy appeared on Wen Yuanyuan’s face, a piercing ringtone suddenly shattered the atmosphere that had been brewing in the car.

Startled, Shen Cheng quickly pulled out the custom terminal phone from Bio-Scientific Institute from his pocket and glanced at the note on the screen before answering the call.

“Liu Su?”

“The zoo, hurry here!” Liu Su’s voice came through the phone briefly before hanging up.

Had they found clues about the foreign Demi-Humans organization?

Putting down the phone, Shen Cheng looked at Wen Yuanyuan.

Understandingly, Wen Yuanyuan shook her head, “It’s okay, I was being presumptuous. Go ahead.”

With that, Wen Yuanyuan opened the car door and stepped out.

After glancing at Wen Yuanyuan waving goodbye through the window, Shen Cheng turned his head, adjusted the direction, and stepped on the gas pedal.

Watching Shen Cheng’s car drive away, Wen Yuanyuan, still standing in place, gradually stopped waving and eventually lowered her head, gently biting her lip.

“As expected, I still feel a bit unwilling…”

…

There was only one zoo in Lingshi City, also located in the city center, so it only took Shen Cheng five minutes to arrive at the scene.

Armed soldiers, seemingly belonging to Lingshi City’s military district, stood guarding the zoo entrance, with two layers of barricades set up.

Seeing the Bio-Scientific Institute’s actions gain cooperation from the local military district, Shen Cheng gained further insights into the Institute’s authority.

He jogged to the entrance, where several soldiers immediately blocked him: “No unauthorized personnel allowed!”

With a bitter smile, Shen Cheng reached into his pocket, planning to call Liu Su, only to unexpectedly feel a small notebook.

Taking it out for a closer look, he realized it was his F-class Specialized Agent identification.
