Chapter 293 — The Promise - "Have Him Bring the Boxed Meal Into the Room to Me," Huang Guanya Ordered

He did not dare to get distracted reaching out to take the boxed meal, so having someone carry it into the room was the only safe way.

"I am not going... I am not going, do not pick me..." The young fellow was clearly not very old, having only just entered society, and where had he ever seen such a scene? Startled by Huang Guanya's angry roar, he sank to the floor in fright, and if a sharp-eyed policeman beside him had not steadied him, the boxed meal in his hands would have dropped to the ground.

Huang Guanya was rather speechless. Could there really be such a cowardly person? He had not done anything to him, yet merely being asked to deliver a meal had scared him into this state. Was that not far too timid?

"Hurry up, have him bring the boxed meal in to me. I am hungry," Huang Guanya barked.

"No... I am not going, absolutely not going, I will not go even if you beat me to death..." The young fellow shook his head hard, his eyes full of terror, and a puddle of water actually appeared beneath him...

A policeman nearby could no longer bear to watch. Scared so badly he had wet his pants? Frowning, he said to Huang Guanya: "How about I bring it in to you? Do not worry, I will not carry a gun. I can hand over my gun right in front of you."

"No. You bring it to me? Do I know you? Who knows if you will attack me by surprise." Huang Guanya was clearly not stupid. He could never let anyone from the police come close to him, for that would undoubtedly be courting death.

Qiu Lingshan was also somewhat helpless: "You have seen it yourself now. He simply cannot deliver food for you. We cannot force him to go, can we? How about I bring it to you?"

"You are even less acceptable." Huang Guanya rejected the proposal at once: "How about this, just grab any onlooker to bring it in to me."

The moment these words left Huang Guanya's mouth, the crowd that had gathered to watch the excitement immediately began slipping backward. No one was willing to be singled out as a stand-in at such a moment.

These people were glad enough to watch the fun, but asking them to do something dangerous was absolutely out of the question. No one wanted to die. Going to deliver food to a criminal at a moment like this, was that not almost certain death?

Watching the crowd that had just been gleefully enjoying the spectacle all draw back, Qiu Lingshan felt a surge of indignation. Just now when you were told to keep your distance, you would not leave and crowded so close to watch the excitement, so how are you now running faster than rabbits?

Still, there was nothing she could say about it, and she could only complain inwardly. Suddenly, Qiu Lingshan turned her head, caught sight of Wei Zhao not far away, and a plan came to mind.

Although she rather disliked Wei Zhao, she had to admit his skills were very good. Even if he still fell somewhat short of herself, he should be enough to deal with this Huang Guanya. Having him deliver the meal would make him a suitable choice.

It had to be said that this time Huang Guanya and Qiu Lingshan thought alike like heroes. The crowd had all scattered, leaving only Wei Zhao standing there looking rather 'silly' and not moving. Huang Guanya took him for a bold young man and did not think much of it, shouting at Wei Zhao: "Hey, you student, bring the food in to me. Yes, you, stop looking around, I mean you."

"Me?" Wei Zhao laughed inwardly, but on his face he pointed at himself in astonishment.

"Yes, hurry up, stop dawdling," Huang Guanya roared.

"You... you will not hurt me, will you?" Wei Zhao asked weakly with some hesitation.

"No. Hurry up," Huang Guanya said impatiently.

"Then... all right... you said it, you will not hurt me..." Wei Zhao finally nodded.

Qiu Lingshan was overjoyed and hurriedly signaled to Wei Zhao with her eyes, but Wei Zhao acted as if he had not seen her at all and turned to fetch the boxed meal.

Tang Yun had not expected Wei Zhao to be picked by the criminal and grew anxious. She did not want Wei Zhao to take such a risk. With so many police here, how could it ever fall to Wei Zhao to step forward?

Casting all else aside, she seized Wei Zhao's hand, nervous: "Wei Zhao... you..."

"Ha, it is nothing. Do you not trust my skills?" Wei Zhao said to Tang Yun in a low voice.

Hearing this, Tang Yun froze slightly. Yes, her concern had muddled her judgment. Wei Zhao had beaten even so ruthless a criminal as Black Panther half to death and had rescued her from the unfinished building without a scratch. He must be very formidable, so she really had no need to worry. Besides, at school even Black Panther with a gun had posed no threat to Wei Zhao, let alone this fellow with only a knife...

"But... then... you are playing the hero saving the beauty. What if she... what if she pledges herself to you..." Then Tang Yun began to worry about something else. This was the legendary hero saving the beauty. Had she herself not taken a liking to him for just that reason? What would she do if Guan Xin joined in and competed with her? In her urgency, Tang Yun forgot all about shyness.

"I cannot just watch someone die without helping, can I?" Wei Zhao had not expected little Tang Yun's thoughts to become so delicate. Squeezing her soft, slightly damp little hand, he said: "Then I will not save her?"

"Then you should still save her... Actually Guan Xin is quite nice. In a situation like this, she is still worried about the patient in the room." In any case, Tang Yun admired Guan Xin. She was a kind girl.

"Hey, are you two parting in life and death? Wait until you have delivered my food before you carry on as lovers." Huang Guanya grew displeased seeing Wei Zhao whispering intimately with a female student: "Are you done or not?"

"We will talk after I come out. Ha, even the criminal is getting impatient," Wei Zhao smiled.

"Mm..." Tang Yun felt embarrassed and nodded shyly: "Be careful..."

"Then kiss me once, and I will be careful..." Wei Zhao looked at Tang Yun with a mischievous grin.

"I..." Tang Yun was deeply embarrassed. At a moment like this, how could this guy still be thinking of such things? Still, after a moment of reserve, she said: "Then... when you come out safely..."

"Ha... good, then wait for me." Wei Zhao smiled, let go of Tang Yun's hand, strode toward the officer holding the boxed meal, took it from his hands, and turned to walk toward Huang Guanya.

Growing impatient, Huang Guanya dragged Guan Xin back a step, clearing the doorway for Wei Zhao: "You come in, then close the door."

"All right..." Wei Zhao hesitantly carried the boxed meal inside and casually closed the door behind him. Ten seconds later, Wei Zhao walked back out through the door and ran quickly to Tang Yun: "I am out. Can you kiss me now?"

Although Wei Zhao's voice was not loud, Qiu Lingshan standing nearby heard it perfectly clearly, and she was about to explode with anger. Her original intention had been for Wei Zhao to seize an opportunity after going in to snatch Huang Guanya's knife, or to find a chance to take Huang Guanya down. But Wei Zhao... had really just delivered the boxed meal and walked straight back out after delivering it?

And he had come out so quickly just to have Tang Yun kiss him? Qiu Lingshan really did not know what to say about Wei Zhao. Pointing at him, she demanded: "What is wrong with you?"
