87: Chapter 87 The Theft!

"I'm sorry, sir, but you were indeed once a VIP member of our Guangrong Bank."

"However, because you haven't met our fixed deposit requirements at Guangrong Bank for two consecutive years, your membership expired two years ago."

"Therefore, you are no longer eligible for VIP personalized service. Please proceed to the general business hall."

The manager gestured slightly with an expressionless face.

The bald man's expression took a sharp turn for the worse, his previously healthy, ruddy cheeks instantly turning ashen.

He subconsciously turned his head and saw that the general business area was already packed with long queues.

Meanwhile, the clients in the VIP hall were looking at him with strange expressions.

"What a moron, acting so arrogant when he has no money!"

"I really don't know where this scumbag crawled out from!"

"What a weirdo, I actually thought he was some big shot!"

The chatter from the people around him grew louder.

The bald man felt as if he were being pricked by needles and glared fiercely at the manager, saying:

"You... I'll remember you. You just wait!"

Having said that, he stormed out of Guangrong Bank in a fit of rage, not even bothering to take care of his business.

Inside the VIP room, a beautiful woman also wearing a black-stocking uniform was serving Shen Zhou.

This young bank teller had a delicate face and pure eyes, clearly unlike the flashy, vulgar women outside.

"Hello, Mr. Shen, what business can I help you with today?"

The young teller was very enthusiastic.

Shen Zhou's status had already been noted by the bank's executives.

Within the entire bank, absolutely no one dared to give Shen Zhou any attitude.

"I'd like to get a checkbook, and also withdraw five million."

After a brief moment of thought, Shen Zhou handed over his bank card.

The specialist replied: "Very well, please wait a moment. Oh, by the way, Mr. Shen, would you like us at Guangrong Bank to arrange for a specialist to deliver the funds for you?"

Shen Zhou naturally nodded in agreement.

After all, five million in cash was equivalent to the weight of six standard suitcases.

Even if the bank used efficient packing methods, Shen Zhou would still have to haul away at least three standard suitcases.

A sports car couldn't possibly fit that many suitcases.

While handling the transaction, the young teller felt her mind go completely blank.

"He's truly a handsome guy on the level of a young master; the beautiful woman beside him is stunning."

"This beauty looks about the same age as me, but her face is just too exquisite."

"And her figure is simply something I wouldn't even dare to imagine in my dreams!"

Not long after, the bank specifically arranged an armored cash transport vehicle.

They specially dispatched personnel to transport the five million in cash to the Welfare Institute.

Shen Zhou and his companion led the way in front.

The bank staff efficiently placed the suitcases filled with cash in the courtyard.

The business manager, dressed in a suit, stepped forward and asked respectfully:

"Hello, Mr. Shen, is there anything else you need help with?"

"Nothing else. You all can head back now."

Shen Zhou waved his hand casually.

By this time, the director, Auntie Song, and the other staff members had already rushed out.

"Director, this check is for ten million; consider it my donation to the Welfare Institute this time."

"I have only one goal, and that is to improve the children's living conditions."

Taking the check with both hands, the director said solemnly:

"Little Shen, rest assured. I understand your and Liaokou's intentions, and I will spend every cent of this money on improving the children's lives."

"Furthermore, every expense at our Welfare Institute is recorded; you are welcome to check the accounts at any time."

At the end of his statement, the director sighed and said helplessly:

"But if the Welfare Institute is about to be razed, even more money won't be of any use."

"I really am getting senile; I almost forgot about this."

The other staff members of the Welfare Institute were both pleasantly surprised and worried.

"Don't worry, I will get this matter settled very soon."

"The children can stay here; no one will be able to drive them away."

Shen Zhou was full of confidence.

Yet at this moment, the old director's face was still full of worry.

Because, after all, this was an order issued by superiors; no matter how rich Shen Zhou was, he probably couldn't stop them from carrying out their orders.

"Help! Bad guys are here!"

"Director Grandpa, help..."

While Shen Zhou and the others were talking inside the building, a sudden cry for help came from outside.

Everyone stood up immediately.

Shen Zhou was the first to rush outside, frowning.

In the courtyard, two men wearing black short-sleeved shirts were chasing after a few children in a rage.

They were dripping with sweat, clearly having been chasing the two children for quite some distance.

"What are you doing? Don't you know this is a Welfare Institute?"

"Get out of here immediately, or we'll call the police right now!"

The Welfare Institute staff rushed up and shielded the children behind them.

Everyone was glaring at those two guys with anger.

Having stayed at the Welfare Institute for so many years, this was the first time they had seen something so outrageous.

They knew society was chaotic, but they didn't think anyone would dare to rush into a Welfare Institute and try to snatch children.

"What are you two doing? Why aren't you running your business properly instead of getting into crooked ways?"

A staff member in charge of logistics at the Welfare Institute saw the two guys' faces and immediately asked, full of confusion.

It was clear that the two parties had met before.

But he didn't expect to get an answer from these two guys; instead, he immediately looked down at the two children.

"Xiaolong, Xiaohu, tell me yourself, what is going on?"

Xiaolong and Xiaohu were the two naughtiest children in the Welfare Institute.

Therefore, the staff's attitude was naturally a bit stricter.

Hearing the question, a look of embarrassment flashed across the two little guys' faces, but they quickly became defiant.

"The two of them wanted to hit me and Xiaolong, and they even wanted to snatch us away..."

"Give me a break, you two little brats! Didn't you steal something first? Even if the King of Heaven came, we would still be in the right!"

The two men in black short-sleeved shirts were instantly furious.

The Welfare Institute staff were also in a difficult position.

It was indeed possible that Xiaolong and Xiaohu would do something like this.

"Tell the truth, you two. Did you steal something or not?"

The Welfare Institute staff questioned them sternly.

Xiaolong and Xiaohu looked at each other; they didn't dare to lie anymore and could only lower their heads, not daring to say another word.

The atmosphere around them changed immediately.

The Welfare Institute staff looked at the two little ones, feeling disappointed in their lack of discipline.

"How could you two steal things?"

"Can't you just tell us if you need something?"

"If it's something necessary, don't you think we would buy it for you?"

"Where are the things? Hurry up and return them!"

Someone nearby couldn't help but shout sternly.
