Chapter 203 — Whoever Loses Must Confess. "I Know a Little Something," Wei Zhao Nodded

"Chief, is it like in the TV dramas—a single needle can cure all diseases?" Kang Xiaozhuobo asked curiously.

"It can certainly cure all diseases, but my skill is limited," Wei Zhao said with a smile. "Chinese medicine is vast and profound. To say acupuncture can cure all illnesses is even an understatement, but those who truly master this art and refine it are few and far between."

"Oh..." Kang Xiaozhuobo nodded. "Then Xiaofen's illness..."

"Her illness is mainly psychological. If we guide her properly, she should recover," Wei Zhao said.

Kang Xiaozhuobo was only curious. Hearing Wei Zhao's words, he stopped pursuing the topic. "Chief, why did you pull me away? I was still hoping to wait for Xiaofen to wake up..."

"Didn't you see how unstable she is right now? Seeing you reminds her of Kang Zhaoming?" Wei Zhao said. "When she wakes up, do you want her to have another episode?"

"This..." Kang Xiaozhuobo was taken aback. Why hadn't he thought of that? Indeed, both of Xiaofen's fits had been triggered by seeing him.

"We'll come again once she's emotionally stable," Wei Zhao said.

"Oh, so where are we going now? Back to have the barbecue?" Kang Xiaozhuobo asked.

"Eat what? Tang Yun is still in the hospital—how can you have the nerve to go back and eat?" Wei Zhao said with a wry smile. "Some other time."

"True... but today wasn't without its gains..." Kang Xiaozhuobo was quite excited about having had "intimate" contact with Lan Fen today.

"What is that Kang Zhaoming to you?" Wei Zhao asked suddenly after they got in the car.

Earlier, when Liu Xinwen had mentioned the name "Kang Zhaoming," Wei Zhao had noticed that Kang Xiaozhuobo's expression was off. The man also bore a resemblance to Kang Xiaozhuobo, and both had the surname Kang, so it wasn't hard to infer that the two were related.

"Chief..." Kang Xiaozhuobo clenched his fist. "To tell you the truth, he's the one I told you about—my great-uncle's youngest grandson, my older second cousin."

"That's roughly what I guessed." Wei Zhao nodded. "Xiaozhuobo, what do you think?"

"I..." Kang Xiaozhuobo lowered his head and fell silent.

Wei Zhao didn't urge him to answer, quietly continuing to drive.

...

Inside Gu Mengyao's villa.

"Xu Shilan's concert was really brilliant—if only we could have been there in person!" Shen Yushu turned off the TV, still relishing the moment. "Yaoyao, why don't you talk to Uncle Chu and ask him to sponsor Xu Shilan to put on a concert for us here?"

"Daddy's company isn't some children's playhouse—how can we mess around like that?" Gu Mengyao swatted Shen Yushu. "Little Shu, are you really all tits and no brains?"

"My breasts aren't big—it's yours that are too small, Yaoyao! Qiu Lingshan's are the ones that are really big!" How could Shen Yushu ever admit to having a deformed figure? Hers was the standard.

"What do you mean mine are too small? What if I just developed later?" Gu Mengyao raged. "With breasts like yours, you'll end up as nothing but a burden sooner or later!"

"Heehee... I wouldn't bet on that!" Seeing Gu Mengyao angry, Shen Yushu made a face and dared not continue. She quickly changed the subject. "Yaoyao, what should we play?"

"How should I know?" Gu Mengyao was still angry.

"How about we go shopping?" Shen Yushu suggested.

"No." Gu Mengyao was far more principled than Shen Yushu on matters of right and wrong. "Last time we went to the bar, something almost went wrong. Daddy's company might be in trouble—we can't add to his worries."

"Oh..." Shen Yushu was a little disappointed. "Brother Arrow went out early this morning. If he were here, we'd have nothing to fear!"

"You really think he's invincible?" Gu Mengyao curled her lip. "He can only bully Zhong Yongliang and his gang. If we run into someone truly formidable, what use is he alone?"

"I think Brother Arrow is pretty strong..." Shen Yushu didn't agree. "Didn't he come back safe and sound that day?"

"He's fast at running away." Gu Mengyao said, "Little Shu, do you like him?"

"Like him? What are you talking about? It was Uncle Chu who wanted a son-in-law." Shen Yushu flushed slightly. "Alright, alright, Yaoyao, let's not talk about him anymore."

"You're the one who brought it up first." Gu Mengyao exposed Shen Yushu without mercy.

"Heehee..." Shen Yushu blinked. "How about we two play hide-and-seek?"

"Hide-and-seek?" Gu Mengyao looked at Shen Yushu doubtfully. "How do we play hide-and-seek? Here in the villa? It's such a tiny place—where could you hide that I couldn't find you?"

"There's also the garage and the courtyard, isn't there?" Shen Yushu was someone who could never stay still. "Each of us hides once, and then we each get ten minutes to find the other. Whoever fails to find the other loses."

"Mm, having a time limit does make it more fun." Gu Mengyao remembered the hide-and-seek games the two had played as children, and felt a little nostalgic.

"Heehee, right?" Seeing Gu Mengyao agree, Shen Yushu grew delighted. "Let's also set a stake, that way we'll have more fun. Otherwise playing isn't thrilling enough."

"A stake? What stake do you want?" Gu Mengyao asked. "Forget betting money—I'm not interested."

No wonder. Neither of them lacked money. Betting a hundred or two hundred as a stake would be worse than not betting at all; it simply couldn't pique their interest.

"Betting money is so low-class." Shen Yushu shook her head. "Let's play for a really awesome stake!"

"What's a really awesome stake?" This time Gu Mengyao was a little interested. Senior year was dull and tedious. In previous years she'd always managed to find time to travel, but in her final year she hadn't once been on a trip away from home.

Every day was almost just a straight line between school and home—dreadfully boring.

"The loser has to confess to Brother Arrow tonight—how about that?" Shen Yushu looked at Gu Mengyao with a mischievous grin and suggested.

"Huh?" Gu Mengyao was caught off guard by Shen Yushu's words. After a long pause, she said, "Little Shu, how can you be so wicked? Aren't you afraid the loser will be you?"

"Heehee, how do you know I'll definitely lose? But it's not certain I'll win either. So we both have a fifty-fifty chance—that's what makes it thrilling!" Shen Yushu said.

"But isn't this going too far?" Gu Mengyao hesitated. Although, as Shen Yushu said, this way of playing was indeed a lot more exciting, it was too exciting, wasn't it? What if she ended up losing?

Make her confess to Wei Zhao? Why not just kill her!

"Yaoyao, think about it—your chances of winning are much higher. This is your family's villa, so you know it better than I do, right?" Shen Yushu coaxed.

"Well... alright..." Gu Mengyao thought about it. Indeed, that was true. This was her own family's villa, so she should have the advantage! With that thought, Gu Mengyao agreed.
