“System, check-in!”
The next morning, Zhou Chao, who had just woken up from a dream, immediately opened the system for check-in. Recently, he hadn’t obtained anything particularly useful from the check-ins, but he hoped to continue the streak from yesterday and maybe win a big prize.
“Check-in successful! Congratulations, host, you’ve received a film and television city in Xiangshan!”
Zhou Chao, who was lying down initially, immediately sat up upon hearing the system’s announcement, finding it somewhat hard to believe his ears.
“Xiangshan Film and Television City!” Zhou Chao took out his phone and checked the information displayed on it. He suddenly became excited and decided to visit Xiangshan Film and Television City, hoping to experience what it felt like to be part of a full-scale production.
In his previous life, Zhou Chao had seen many celebrities earning tens of millions for a single film or TV drama. He always fantasized about becoming a star himself. Even though he wasn’t short of money now, it didn’t stop him from wanting to experience the joy of acting in a movie.
Without any delay, Zhou Chao quickly checked his phone and found that the drive from Shanghai to Xiangshan Film and Television City would take approximately four hours. Without a second thought, he got out of bed, tossed his phone onto the mattress, and made his way to the bathroom.
After a quick shower, he came out, dressed in casual clothes. None of these clothes were bought in a luxury boutique; he purchased them all online. For him, comfort was more important than chasing luxury brands.

“Hey, Ling Chen!”
“Boss, do you have something urgent so early in the morning?” Zhou Chao could hear Ling Chen yawning.
“Did you work overtime last night? I told you not to push yourself so hard!”
“It’s okay, boss. There were a few proposals that needed my approval, and I stayed up late to review them. Don’t worry; everything’s fine. Why did you call so early, boss? Is there something you need?”
“Well, 1 just wanted to let you know that I’m going to Zhejiang Province for some business, so I might not be in Modu for a while. Keep an eye on things, and if there’s anything important, call me!”
“Ha- don’t you worry, boss!” Ling Chen had just started speaking when he let out another yawn, causing Zhou Chao to shake his head in resignation.
“Alright, once you’ve got everything sorted in the morning, go back and get some rest. Don’t argue with me on this; I’m informing you. You know, 1’11 have people below keeping an eye on you. If you don’t go back to rest in the afternoon, I’ll force you to go on a break!” Zhou Chao understood that if he didn’t insist, Ling Chen would never take a break voluntarily.
“Okay, boss, I’ll get things sorted, and then 1’11 go back to rest!” Ling Chen reluctantly agreed, knowing that if he didn’t, Zhou Chao would force him to take several days off.
“Good!” Zhou Chao hung up the phone, grabbed the keys to his Lamborghini Veneno, and headed out. It didn’t take long before the eye-catching figure of the Veneno appeared on the streets.
Throughout the journey, Zhou Chao didn’t drive too fast or try to reach speeds of 200 kilometers per hour. After all, no one could predict what might happen in the next moment.
As he was about to enter the G15 expressway, preparing to cross the sea bridge, he was drawn to a scene on the fast lane.
He noticed a man in a white outfit, frantically waving his hands, seemingly trying to flag down a car. Zhou Chao gradually reduced his speed and pulled up next to the stopped vehicles, intrigued by the situation.
“Sir, hello, I’m from the Blood Center of Modu. Can you help us transport some blood to Ning City? There’s a pregnant woman in Ning City in desperate need of this blood!” The man’s face was filled with urgency as he spoke.
Since there were no direct flights from Modu to Ning City, the blood had to be transported by car. Moreover, this particular blood type was extremely rare, with only two units available in the entire Zhejiang Province. It was insufficient for the patient, so they had to source blood from elsewhere. Unfortunately, their vehicle encountered a problem on the way.
Upon hearing this, Zhou Chao immediately became serious and said, “Bring the blood container into my car quickly!”
The man hurried back to his car, retrieved a box, and then sat in Zhou Chao’s car.
“Fasten your seatbelt and secure the blood!” The man hastily fastened his seatbelt and cradled the box in his arms.
“Vroom!” Zhou Chao accelerated the Lamborghini Veneno, and the man in the passenger seat leaned back, his eyes wide with disbelief as he glanced at Zhou Chao. The speed on the dashboard had already reached 180, and it was still increasing.
“Sir, should we slow down a bit? Isn’t this speed too fast?” The man felt a nervous tension in his voice.
“Don’t we have an urgent situation here? Don’t worry; I won’t play with my own life. By the way, make a call and report to the police, explaining the situation. I don’t want to get caught by traffic police later!” Zhou Chao’s words sounded reassuring, and the man felt his nervousness subside.
“Okay, I’ll call the police right away!” They had already entered the sea bridge, and there weren’t many cars on the bridge. Zhou Chao’s superb driving skills allowed them to overtake several vehicles, but it also attracted the attention of the traffic authorities.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm“Hello, 110? I need to report an emergency. I’m from the Blood Center in Modu, and we’re urgently transporting a unit of blood to Ning City. We’re waiting for the blood for a life-saving procedure. I’m currently in a Lamborghini. Yes, yes, we are going very fast. I hope you can arrange for someone to meet us when we arrive. Okay, understood!”
The man in the passenger seat quickly finished the call. Seeing the speed had reached over 200, he decided not to voice what he originally intended to say. He pressed both his feet against the car floor as if he was afraid of being ejected.
Soon, the high-speed traffic police noticed the speeding Lamborghini through their cameras and immediately dispatched officers to intercept it.
Just as Zhou Chao had driven off the sea bridge, the police cars, which had been waiting for a while, caught up. They also began shouting through loudspeakers, “The Lamborghini ahead, please stop immediately for inspection!”
Zhou Chao glanced at the man beside him and said, “Didn’t you report it? Why haven’t they informed these officers yet? This is wasting our time.”
While speaking, Zhou Chao gradually reduced his speed, and soon he pulled over to the fast lane. He didn’t want to stop initially because time was of the essence, but not cooperating with the police could lead to a series of complications. In the interest of avoiding trouble, Zhou Chao chose to stop.
As soon as he parked the car, the high-speed police officers approached. Zhou Chao rolled down his window and said directly, “It’s an emergency. We are transporting a special blood sample, and a patient’s life is at stake. We have already called the police, but maybe the information hasn’t reached you yet.”
The traffic police officer who was about to ask Zhou Chao to step out of the car was momentarily stunned. However, he quickly regained his composure and glanced at the box from the Blood Center held by the man in the passenger seat. He immediately understood the situation.
“Alright, where are you headed? I’ll report it immediately, and we’ll have our colleagues clear the way for you!”
Zhou Chao also turned his gaze toward the man in the passenger seat.
“We’re heading to the Maternal and Child Health Hospital in Ning City!”
“Understood, drive safely!” The traffic police quickly created space for them to proceed. Zhou Chao saluted the traffic police and then accelerated away..
