Chapter 142
Sister Nan held a bank card in her hand and looked at Zhang Bei with a bright smile.
“This is the revenue, along with reports on which dolls have been selling well!”
“You’re leaving?”
“Mm. The total revenue for these past two months is 160,000 yuan. It’s all in there!”
Zhang Bei fell silent for a moment. “Why?”
“No real reason. I’m tired, so I’m planning to go back to my hometown.”
Zhang Bei looked at the bank card in his hand and let out a quiet sigh. “All right. When are you planning to leave?”
Sister Nan glanced at him. “Tomorrow, I suppose. Make sure you keep that report safe!”
With that, she waved at Zhang Bei and walked toward the Dollhouse on her own.
Zhang Bei put away the report Sister Nan had written out stroke by stroke, then returned to the Monitoring Room.
The Dollhouse had been Zhang Bei’s way of thanking Sister Nan for everything she had done for the Amusement Park.
Sister Nan had taken it over because she wanted to pay back the money as soon as possible.
The full two months of revenue was enough to honor that kindness.
Besides, things were different now. Operating these facilities required certification, and Sister Nan had also realized that she really was getting old.
Still, all Zhang Bei could do was wish Sister Nan well and hope everything would go smoothly for her.
Sitting in the Monitoring Room, Zhang Bei opened the report.
It clearly listed which manufacturers had the best quality and which dolls sold the best.
But the top seller truly surprised him. It wasn’t a cartoon ghost or monster, but a doll of a doctor pushing severed limbs and broken arms.
That one doll accounted for thirty percent of all doll sales!
By evening, Chef Li had prepared a lavish farewell dinner.
Everyone sent Sister Nan off with heartfelt blessings.
Although they hadn’t spent a long time together, this warm, big-sisterly woman had always been helping everyone.
Whether it was the salted duck eggs she occasionally brought or the small favors she did in daily life, Sister Nan had seemed quiet and unobtrusive, yet before anyone realized it, she had become part of their lives.
Li Yang watched Sister Nan leave the Amusement Park, his face full of melancholy.
“We won’t get to eat those delicious salted duck eggs anymore!”
Gu Yue also sighed. “No one’s going to bring us face masks anymore either.”
Zhang Bei rolled his eyes. “Enough. Go back and get some sleep. Sister Nan will still come back to visit when she has time!”
After watching the employees leave, Zhang Bei casually shut the amusement park gates and headed toward the parking lot.
All of a sudden, his steps paused, and he bent down as if to tie his shoelace.
But without anyone noticing, Zhang Bei had already picked up a stone and gripped it in his hand.
Out of the corner of his eye, he saw the streetlight casting the shadow of someone hiding behind a large tree.
A visitor who’d been traumatized too badly?
Zhang Bei narrowed his eyes. The instant he straightened up, the stone shot out like a hidden weapon toward the back of the tree.
His body followed right behind it, charging forward.
A man was immediately forced out from hiding. A fist and a palm collided.
Before the black-clad figure could speak, Zhang Bei kicked out hard, aiming straight for the man’s face.
After being attacked one move after another, the figure finally began to fight back.
He raised his leg and blocked the strike, then his fist came crashing down.
Alarm bells rang in Zhang Bei’s mind, and he silently muttered, Expert!
The two clashed and separated. The man secretly rubbed his numb fist.
Holy crap. This is the target I’m supposed to protect?
With this kind of combat power, he needs me to protect him?
If no firearms are involved, wouldn’t I be the one getting pinned to the ground and beaten senseless?
He was just about to introduce himself when Zhang Bei gave him no chance at all.
A fist came smashing down at him at high speed.
In a fight like this, the moment one side lost focus, defeat would come like a collapsing mountain.
Zhang Bei’s combat ability went without saying, but even now, he didn’t dare let his guard down.
After all, he had noticed the bulge at the man’s waist.
What kind of deranged visitor was this?
That was right. To this day, Boss Zhang still believed the man in front of him was a tourist who had suffered some kind of shock.
Under Zhang Bei’s fierce assault, the man spent almost the entire fight on defense. And Zhang Bei, who hadn’t had such a satisfying bout in ages, only grew more excited the longer they fought.
Nearly every combat technique he had accumulated over the years came out.
As for the man on the receiving end, he was about to lose his mind. Where the hell did this freak come from?
Me, a professional bodyguard, can’t beat an amusement park owner?
Defend long enough, and a mistake was inevitable. Finally, when an opening appeared, Zhang Bei’s heavy punch slammed straight into the man’s chin.
That was one of the body’s more vulnerable points, packed with countless nerves.
Under that heavy blow, the man didn’t even manage to make a sound before he passed out cold.
Looking at the collapsed figure, Zhang Bei finally let out a breath.
He searched the man with one hand and soon found an ID and a dangerous item.
Flipping open the ID, Zhang Bei carefully checked the photo and name on it, then fell silent.
If he wasn’t mistaken, this guy was probably a bodyguard.
And since he had this thing on him, if nothing unexpected was going on, he was probably active duty?
After pondering for a long while, Zhang Bei finally reached a conclusion.
This man had been sent by Professor Li!
He immediately made a call. “Did you arrange a bodyguard for me?”
“Oh, yes, there is one. You found him?”
Zhang Bei looked at the man lying on the ground and scratched his hair.
“Not only did I find him, there was a little misunderstanding.”
Professor Li went quiet for a moment. “Is he still alive?”
“Alive. Just unconscious.”
“Address!”
“Outside the Amusement Park, near the parking lot.”
“Someone will be there right away. Wait there!”
Zhang Bei stood guard over the unconscious man for a full fifteen minutes before a car sped toward him.
Professor Li’s personal bodyguard jumped out in a hurry. When he saw the man lying on the ground, he breathed a sigh of relief.
After carefully confirming there was no danger to his life, he sat down beside him. “Boss Zhang, may I ask how he passed out?”
Zhang Bei scratched his head awkwardly. “I knocked him out.”
“Hm?”
“I studied combat for a few years.”
Zhang Bei’s voice was very calm. To him, this really was nothing worth mentioning.
But Professor Li’s bodyguard clearly didn’t think so!
Who was lying on the ground?
A bodyguard assigned to protect scientific researchers!
And he had been knocked out by someone who had only studied combat for a few years?
In just a short moment, a whole series of training plans had already formed in his mind.
They included five days of survival training in the Amazon Jungle and single-handedly taking on a special forces squad.
For insurance, he even added bare-handed crocodile combat to the list.
After only a few minutes, the man, completely unaware of the consequences awaiting him, slowly woke up.
When he turned his head, he saw one pair of apologetic eyes and another gaze as cold as ice.
“Captain, why are you here?”
“Mr. Zhang no longer needs protection for the time being. Return to the team!”
The man hurriedly climbed up from the ground. “Yes, sir!”
“Go to Jungle Wolf tomorrow. Retrain from scratch!”
“Captain, let me explain!”
“Hm?”
Looking at those ice-cold eyes, the man swallowed all his grievances.
His resentful gaze locked onto Zhang Bei.
Just you wait until I get back!
I refuse to believe I can’t beat a scientific researcher!
“Mr. Zhang, I’ll be taking my leave, then!”
Zhang Bei nodded and watched the two of them leave.
As the car drove farther and farther away, Zhang Bei dialed another number.
“Heizi, once the company starts turning a profit, buy an island.”
