Chapter 469 — Xiaofen Is in Trouble, Feng Xiaoxiao Decides to Take the Initiative and Make Trouble for Wei Zhao

"?" Wei Zhao stared at Feng Xiaoxiao in complete bewilderment. A hero rescuing a beauty was a hackneyed trick, yet it was still the kind of scene that could easily stir a heart. Still, Wei Zhao did not believe for a moment that what had happened yesterday could have moved Feng Xiaoxiao so much!

As for heroes rescuing beauties, he had rescued Tang Yun several times, and he had never seen her offer herself to him in return. The feeling between them had only grown out of long time spent together. As for the young miss, there was even less to say. He had saved her no fewer times, and he had never seen her show anything either.

So Wei Zhao found it utterly unreliable that a single rescue could make Feng Xiaoxiao come forward with a confession.

"Wei Zhao, you are the most captivating man I have ever met!" Feng Xiaoxiao said, her face flushed and her eyes misty as she gazed at Wei Zhao.

But just at that moment, before Wei Zhao could say anything, a telephone rang. It was Wei Zhao's phone.

"Sorry, let me take this call first." Wei Zhao made a wait-a-moment gesture to Feng Xiaoxiao, then answered the phone.

Feng Xiaoxiao was about to explode with anger. When had she ever humbled herself like this before a boy? She was Feng Xiaoxiao! She had once sworn that in her short life she would never bow her head to anyone, that she would live out her true self, so as not to have lived in vain.

But now, just as she had finally screwed up her courage to confess to him, Wei Zhao was taking a phone call. It was more than flesh could bear. Feng Xiaoxiao flared up and lifted her foot to stomp down on the top of Wei Zhao's foot.

Wei Zhao thought to himself, why do all these girls like stepping on other people's feet? He pulled his foot back on instinct, and Feng Xiaoxiao stomped on empty air. Because she had used too much force, there was a crack, and she actually snapped the heel off her high-heeled shoe.

"Ah--" Feng Xiaoxiao cried out in a panic and glared at Wei Zhao. "Hold still and let me step on you! Or I won't let you take that call!"

As she spoke, she reached out to snatch the phone from Wei Zhao's hand.

Wei Zhao frowned, thinking Feng Xiaoxiao was being unreasonable. But seeing her beside herself with rage, as if ready to fight him to the death, he indulged her, stuck out his foot, and answered the phone. "Hello?"

"Stomp! Stomp! Stomp stomp stomp!" Feng Xiaoxiao pounded wildly on the top of Wei Zhao's foot. That little bit of pain meant nothing at all to Wei Zhao. If anything, it was Feng Xiaoxiao's own feet that were left aching from the impact.

"Boss, Xiaofen has been grabbed!" The moment Wei Zhao picked up, Kang Xiaobo's panicked voice came through from the other end.

"Xiaofen was taken? What happened?" Wei Zhao froze, paid no more attention to Feng Xiaoxiao, and listened to the phone intently with a furrowed brow.

"Boss, it happened like this. I got up this morning and went to Xiaofen's house. We had agreed to take a walk and have breakfast together..." Kang Xiaobo grew a little embarrassed at this point. "I go over early every morning..."

"All right, get to the point. Who took Xiaofen?" Wei Zhao quite understood what Kang Xiaobo was doing. Men and women in love were always passionate, so Wei Zhao would not mock Kang Xiaobo for his early morning diligence. After all, had he himself not run off to Tang Yun's place first thing in the morning?

"Early this morning, Xiaofen was waiting for me on the bench by the breakfast stall as usual. Normally I get there first, but there was a traffic jam this morning, so I was a bit late." Kang Xiaobo said, "I had just gotten out of the car when I saw Xiaofen being dragged by two men into a white van with no license plates. I was startled and quickly flagged down a taxi to follow them. I have followed them to the gate of a big compound now, but the taxi driver only stopped nearby and did not dare go in..."

Listening to Kang Xiaobo's words all in one breath, Wei Zhao pondered for a moment. He could not figure out why anyone would grab Xiaofen. Could they have been sent by Kang Zhaoming?

"Where are you? I will come over right away!" Wei Zhao asked.

"There is a street sign here. It says No. 7 Dunmeng Street, but it looks like hardly anyone ever comes by. It must be the suburbs." Kang Xiaobo said, "My taxi ride cost more than three hundred, so it must be far out in the suburbs!"

"Good. Do not act on your own. You must wait for me!" Wei Zhao said. "Stay in contact at all times!"

"All right, Boss! Hurry over! I am afraid if we are late they will hurt Xiaofen!" Kang Xiaobo said urgently.

"Heh, relax. With me here, nothing will happen." Wei Zhao said.

After hanging up on Kang Xiaobo, Wei Zhao ignored Feng Xiaoxiao and turned to get into the car. But glancing sideways, he caught sight of Feng Xiaoxiao's sports car. After a slight hesitation, he said, "Lend me your car."

For speed, his own van could never keep up with Feng Xiaoxiao's sports car. After all, he was held back by the engine. Even if he stomped the accelerator through the floor, a van could not turn into an airplane. Wei Zhao had never even heard of the place Kang Xiaobo had named, and since Kang Xiaobo had spent more than three hundred on the fare, ruling out the chance that the car ahead had deliberately taken a roundabout route, it had to be a journey of over a hundred kilometers. It was not close at all!

"Huh?" Feng Xiaoxiao was taken aback, feeling a little resentful inside. You only think of me when you want to borrow the car, so why did you ignore me before? Feng Xiaoxiao snorted. "You can borrow the car, but I have to be in it too!"

"If you are not afraid of danger, then come along." Wei Zhao had no time to waste arguing with Feng Xiaoxiao. The situation was still unclear, and every minute lost meant more danger. He did not want to waste time trying to talk Feng Xiaoxiao out of it. "Not afraid!" Feng Xiaoxiao nodded. "The more dangerous and exciting it is, the more I like it!"

"You really are unusual. No wonder you like street racing." Wei Zhao shook his head. "Hand over the keys."

Feng Xiaoxiao obediently took out the keys, but she did not hand them straight to Wei Zhao. Instead she unlocked the car doors with the remote and said, "I will give them to you once we are in the car. What if you leave me behind?"

"Heh." Wei Zhao gave a wry smile. "I never lie to my friends."

"You take me for your friend?" Feng Xiaoxiao grew excited at once when she heard Wei Zhao's words.

"An ordinary friend, neither good nor bad." Wei Zhao was telling the honest truth. He felt neither dislike nor fondness for Feng Xiaoxiao. In his eyes, Feng Xiaoxiao was nothing but a mischievous little girl spoiled by her family. How could Wei Zhao stoop to bickering with her?

"Carry me over, or you will waste time!" One of Feng Xiaoxiao's shoes had lost its heel, so she walked unevenly and could not move fast.

Wei Zhao glanced at her, tucked her up casually with one arm, lifted Feng Xiaoxiao clean off the ground, and set her down in the passenger seat.

Feng Xiaoxiao was stunned. Who would have guessed that Wei Zhao, with his frame that was hardly burly, could be so strong? He could pick her up with a single arm?

Wei Zhao got into the car right after, took the car keys from Feng Xiaoxiao's hand, started the engine, and said to her, "Navigate to No. 7 Dunmeng Street."

"Oh..." Feng Xiaoxiao obediently switched on the navigation, thrilled beyond measure inside. It looked like Wei Zhao was about to drive at full speed! At last she would get to witness it.
