Chapter 182 — A Blow to the Head

None of this was any use to Wei Zhao. He closed the page and looked up Miracle Doctor Kang instead. Since he meant to make his mark in the medicine business, this Doctor Kang was someone he had to understand. What he had not expected was that the man turned out to be Kang Xiaobo's grand-uncle... That was quite a coincidence.

A man could not do without money. Although the old man at home was harsh with him, Wei Zhao had never complained about it. For one mission the pay was tens or hundreds... not even as much as the expenses for the mission itself!

His master was not a stingy man. For every mission, apart from the share the organization had to withhold, the rest of the reward should have been wired to the old man's account.

But each time the old man gave him only tens or hundreds, and Wei Zhao was too lazy to haggle over it. The only possibility was that the old man had pocketed the rest, but to Wei Zhao the old man was much like his own father, who had raised him from childhood. If he took the money, so be it. Wei Zhao could only pretend not to know. After all, he never wanted for food or clothes...

What puzzled Wei Zhao was that, having taken the money, the old man still lived so shabbily. Could he really be a modern Grandet?

Now he drew a monthly salary from Gu Pengzhan, but having no income of his own still left him uneasy. Who knew what this mission was really about? Even now Wei Zhao could make no sense of it, so he had to keep something in reserve...

What if he lost his job? By now Wei Zhao had truly fallen in love with his present life, going to school and coming home like any other high school student, with good brothers of his own and a girl he secretly admired...

Judging by the reviews online, Miracle Doctor Kang had a good reputation, only the medicine sold so well and was in such short supply that it was hard to buy, a case of money unable to buy goods. Yet the more it was so, the more it proved how miraculous the medicine was.

Although Wei Zhao had never seen Miracle Doctor Kang's golden wound medicine with his own eyes, he was confident that his old man's prescription would be no worse. If he brought it out, the market would likely be split in two.

The next day Wei Zhao had nothing to do and naturally did not drive himself to school. Gu Mengyao and Shen Yushu came yawning down the stairs, clearly having stayed up late watching the concert. Wei Zhao felt the big star had no real charm at all. She might look a little prettier than Gu Mengyao and Shen Yushu, but that was makeup and stage effects. In terms of natural looks, Gu Mengyao and Shen Yushu lost nothing to her, so Wei Zhao thought that instead of watching the star, he might as well look at his own two girls...

"Yesterday's live concert was so great! I wonder when Xiaohan will come to Songshan for a concert?" Shen Yushu was still savoring last night's show.

"Well, Songshan is neither a provincial capital nor a special economic zone, so it will probably be difficult," Gu Mengyao said. "I must buy a Blu-ray of the concert to keep. Yesterday was not enough."

"Yes, yes, let's go buy it at noon and see if the video shops near the school have it," Shen Yushu nodded. "But there do not seem to be many genuine copies near the school. To buy the real thing, we will have to go to the bookstore area..."

"Wei Zhao," Gu Mengyao called to the idle Wei Zhao beside them. "You have nothing to do at noon, so go buy us the Blu-ray of Xu Shilan's concert. The first show was a month ago, so it must be on sale by now."

"Uh... all right." Wei Zhao looked at the two star-chasers chattering back and forth and nodded. It was a small matter, just buying a disc, and Wei Zhao did not think much of it.

"Ha, Sister Yao Yao, you are so smart. Now that we have Shield Brother to run errands, we do not have to walk so far!" Shen Yushu had been about to complain, since the bookstore was quite a walk, about a kilometer, and it was awkward to trouble Uncle Qing to come at noon. Seeing Gu Mengyao hand the job straight to Wei Zhao, she was delighted.

"We pay him to be here, not to chase girls. Of course he should work!" Gu Mengyao pouted and glared at Wei Zhao.

"Heh," Wei Zhao gave a bitter smile. His chasing girls seemed to be none of her business, was it? As long as he did not steal the young miss herself... Even a follower needed love...

When Uncle Qing's car reached the shantytown, Wei Zhao looked deliberately out the window and saw Tang Yun standing safe and sound at the bus stop waiting for the bus. Wei Zhao breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed the little rogue had not pestered Tang Yun today...

Jia Ruoming was furious! Yes, he was furious to the extreme! How could Wei Zhao and Tang Yun have gotten together?

The news that Wei Zhao had confessed to Tang Yun and that Tang Yun had shyly accepted had naturally reached Jia Ruoming. The campus was only so big. If everyone else knew, how could the second of the four campus bullies not know?

Originally Jia Ruoming's plan had been perfect. He would pressure Tang Yun through her mother, creating the false impression that Tang Yun was already his girlfriend, letting the whole school know this so-called fact, so that Tang Yun, left with no choice, might just agree to be with him!

But plans could not keep up with changes. Jia Ruoming had never expected a Cheng Yaojin like Wei Zhao to jump out halfway, not only ruining his plan but slapping him across the face and turning him into a laughingstock!

This cost Jia Ruoming face and made him hate Wei Zhao. He meant to ask his elder brother Jia Ruoguang to step in and teach Wei Zhao a lesson. But with what had just happened with Brother Black Panther, Jia Ruoming did not dare to have his brother come openly into the school to beat someone up. He could only wait for a suitable chance, or until things blew over!

After all, Brother Black Panther had been taken to the station, and they said he would be sentenced. Although Zhong Yongliang's father had suppressed the matter so that Zhong Yongliang was not implicated, even someone as powerful as Zhong Yongliang's father Zhong Fabai had failed to get the man out, which showed how big the trouble was!

In fact, Songshan No.1 High School was no ordinary high school, but a private school with deep connections! Jia Ruoming could imagine that if Zhong Yongliang's uncle had not been one of the school directors, anyone else would have been expelled long ago over this affair.

So Jia Ruoming could only endure for now. But before that chance came, the rumors buzzing through the school yesterday struck him like a blow to the head and left him stunned!

Tang Yun had actually accepted Wei Zhao's confession? Damn it, was that a mistake? That kid Wei Zhao did not look any better than him, just as arrogant, just as spoiled, just as notorious. So why had Tang Yun fallen for him?
