After returning to the ranch, Abdullah and Liya didn’t linger for long. They quickly left the ranch with their exploration teams in their cars.
Zhou Chao stood quietly at the ranch gate, watching the convoy gradually disappear from his sight. It was then that Lin Wu whispered beside him, “Boss, do you think those big shots behind them will personally intervene?”
“I don’t know about Abdullah, but the people behind Liya will definitely intervene.”
Lin Wu asked with some confusion, “Why do you say that, boss? Can Abdullah alone make such big deals?”
“He’s got money, even ten Liyas combined wouldn’t match Abdullah’s wealth,” Zhou Chao remarked, feeling a bit impressed. The Camel Country was indeed incredibly wealthy.
“Boss, since you said that the people behind Liya will intervene, will these influential figures affect your plans? Should we make a call back home?” Lin Wu voiced his concerns, knowing that Zhou Chao didn’t have much influence or strong connections here in Russia, even as a close bodyguard.
Zhou Chao didn’t respond immediately. He just stared quietly at the distant mountains for a while before speaking, “Let’s not rush. Let’s see how things unfold first. Even if the person behind him comes, we’ll have to sit down and talk.”
Seeing Zhou Chao’s confident demeanor, Lin Wu nodded firmly.
“Alright, let’s go back. Let’s go see that tiger cub that came to us.” Zhou Chao’s mood lightened at the thought of the tiger cub. After all, he had often seen Middle Eastern tycoons raising various birds of prey and wild animals online, and now he had the opportunity to raise a tiger cub himself.
Thinking about the cute appearance of the tiger cub, Zhou Chao’s steps couldn’t help but quicken a bit.
Upon returning to the villa, they saw Chen Nan washing the tiger cub. Occasionally, they could hear the tiger cub’s pitiful cries. It seemed that the aversion of felines to water was innate.
“Boss, Brother Wu!” Chen Nan let go of the tiger cub and quickly stood up to greet them.
Zhou Chao nodded slightly and approached the basin, watching the tiger cub panting at the edge of the basin.
“Huh, why is this tiger cub white?” Zhou Chao’s face showed some surprise. After all, white tigers were extremely rare in the world.
“Boss, as I was about to tell you, this greyish tiger cub turned white as soon as it was washed. I changed the water twice already. It seems like this little white tiger has been in the forest for quite some time.”
Zhou Chao lifted the little white tiger out of the basin, and Lin Wu handed him a towel.
Carefully drying the water off the little tiger, Zhou Chao then sat down on the sofa by the fireplace, holding it in his arms.
Perhaps feeling the warmth of the blazing fire, the lively little tiger calmed down and lay quietly on Zhou Chao’s legs.
Watching the small white tiger on his legs, Zhou Chao gently stroked it, a faint smile appearing at the corner of his mouth.
“Chen Nan, do we have any milk or goat milk in the ranch? If not, try to get some from the nearby ranches. If that’s not possible, we’ll buy some from the town,” Zhou Chao said, thinking about the milk.
“Boss, we have some milk at home. It’s what Lev brought back from town for breakfast. I’ll go heat it up right away,” Lin Wu said, getting up and heading towards the kitchen.
Soon, Lin Wu came out carrying a small basin of milk, still steaming hot.
Perhaps smelling the fragrance of the milk, the tiger cub lying on Zhou Chao’s legs lifted its cute little head and looked at the basin in Lin Wu’s hands, making murmuring sounds and fidgeting restlessly.
“Haha, looks like this little guy is starving. What are you standing there for? Do you want to taste the milk too? Hurry up and put the basin on the floor,” Zhou Chao said with a laugh as he scolded Lin Wu, who was still standing there.
Lin Wu quickly placed the milk basin on the floor, and the little tiger slid down from Zhou Chao’s legs, running to the edge of the basin and burying its head to lap up the milk.
“It seems like this little guy hasn’t eaten for several days. He’s so hungry,” Lin Wu said, his serious face showing a hint of tenderness as he squatted down to stroke the tiger cub’s head.
“Boss, why don’t you give this little guy a name?” Chen Nan suggested softly.
“Well, this little guy is going to be a member of our team from now on, so he should have a name. Let’s all think about it together and come up with some ideas,” Zhou Chao suggested, rubbing his chin as he began to ponder.
Lin Wu and Chen Nan also began to think.
“Boss, is the tiger cub male or female?” Lin Wu suddenly asked.
This question caught Zhou Chao off guard. His eyes involuntarily glanced at the tiger cub’s hind legs. The tiger cub, busy drinking milk, shivered slightly, then glanced at them before returning to drinking.
“Should we check?” Zhou Chao said, sounding unsure.
Lin Wu and Chen Nan exchanged a glance, then nodded in unison, saying, “Let’s check!”
Zhou Chao turned his gaze to Lin Wu, finally settling on him. “Lin Wu, see if the tiger cub is male or female!”
Lin Wu smiled helplessly and lifted the nursing tiger cub, examining its hind legs. The tiger cub looked utterly puzzled, with milk droplets hanging from its whiskers..
