Chapter 701: He’s Still a Child!

Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

“Boss, have you seen my bicycle?” Zhou Chao turned back to the busy breakfast shop owner and asked.

“Bicycle? What bicycle? I’ve been busy and didn’t notice. Young man, is your bicycle missing?” The owner put down what he was doing and hurried over to Zhou Chao’s side.

Zhou Chao glanced at the breakfast shop owner beside him and could tell from his somewhat bewildered expression that he indeed didn’t know.

“Yeah, it’s a very special bicycle with butterfly patterns on the frame. It disappeared while I was eating.”

At this point, Zhou Chao also knew that his bicycle was probably stolen. He looked around and noticed that the supermarket next door happened to have a camera pointing in this direction.

“Young man, is your bike valuable?” The owner asked with some doubt, after all, this incident happened right at his shop entrance. If this young man blamed him for it, he didn’t know how to respond!

“It’s not that valuable, just a few million!”

“Oh, that’s fine then, only a few million… What, a few million!” The owner’s expression suddenly changed dramatically, and his legs started to tremble. Luckily, he managed to hold onto the door frame next to him.

Some breakfast patrons also cast their eyes over, after all, everyone liked to see such excitement.

An elderly man spoke up, “Young man, you’d better report it to the police quickly!”

“Yes, yes, report it quickly. We have surveillance cameras nearby. When the patrol comes, they’ll know who stole it!” The breakfast shop owner chimed in, after all, if it got out that someone’s bike was stolen from his shop, who would come to eat there?

Zhou Chao also knew that it would be more appropriate to let the patrol handle these things. He immediately dialed the police hotline.

When the police center learned that a bicycle worth a few million had been stolen, they took it very seriously and immediately arranged for the nearest patrol station to appear on the scene.

After waiting for about five minutes, a patrol car stopped at the entrance of the breakfast shop. Three or four particularly capable patrol officers got out, all in their thirties or forties, not one of them young.

“Hello, who called the police just now?” A leading man looked at Zhou Chao and the others and asked.

“It was me!” Zhou Chao stepped forward.

When the leading man saw Zhou Chao’s appearance, he was also a bit surprised. He didn’t expect the victim to be such a young and handsome man.

“Hello, I’m Liu, the captain of the Xinhua Patrol Station. Can you please tell us what happened?”

Zhou Chao nodded and explained the situation.

“A bicycle? Didn’t the police center say that the owner lost something worth 3 million? How could a bicycle be worth that much?” Captain Liu looked at Zhou Chao with some confusion.

When they received the information transferred from the police center, it only said that the owner had lost something worth 3 million, but they never expected it to be a bicycle.

“That’s right, it’s a bicycle, worth 3.2 million!” Zhou Chao replied calmly.

“What bicycle is worth 3.2 million? Young man, are you kidding us? You know that making false reports is a serious matter!” One of the patrol officers behind Captain Liu couldn’t believe it and asked cautiously.

“It’s the Trek Madone Butterfly bicycle. You can look it up online to see if I’m lying!”

Upon hearing this, Captain Liu turned his head to the person beside him, indicating to check if the situation was true!

Before his subordinate could take out his phone, loud screams erupted from the onlookers nearby.

“Damn, there really is such a bicycle, worth over three million! He’s really rich!”

“Let me see, let me see!”

For a moment, the whole scene became lively as curious onlookers pulled out their phones to search online.

At this moment, Captain Liu also learned from his subordinate’s phone that what Zhou Chao said was indeed true—the lost bicycle was worth over three million!

“Sorry, Mr. Zhou, we’ll start investigating right away!” Captain Liu said apologetically.

“It’s okay, it’s normal for you to have doubts, after all, there are hardly any of these bicycles in the country!” Zhou Chao quickly waved his hand, understanding that anyone would have doubts.

Captain Liu nodded and glanced around the scene, quickly noticing the surveillance cameras installed at the supermarket’s entrance.

With his subordinates, he walked towards the supermarket, and Zhou Chao followed closely behind Captain Liu and his team.

He also wanted to know who had the audacity to openly take his bicycle.

When they reached the supermarket entrance, before Captain Liu could state his purpose, they saw a slightly overweight man running towards them from behind!

“I’m the manager of the supermarket, I’ll take you to see the surveillance footage!” Even before he reached them, his excited voice could be heard.

Captain Liu glanced at the manager and realized he was one of the onlookers from earlier.

“Thank you!” Zhou Chao remained polite.

“No trouble at all!” The manager said enthusiastically.

Although he managed a not-so-big supermarket, after so many years as a manager, he still had some insight.

From Zhou Chao’s calm demeanor, it was evident that a bicycle worth millions was just a toy to him.

By cooperating proactively, he might just build some good rapport with this “rich second-generation.”

Then, the group followed the manager through twists and turns until they reached the supermarket’s surveillance room.
