護花近衛 - 第42章 強哦！ - 墨香閣

"Mr. Lin, you are all right now?" Seeing that Wei Zhao was already able to get out of bed, Uncle Qing was rather astonished. A gunshot wound would require lying down for a few days, no?

"I am fine." Wei Zhao shook his head.

"Impressive! Twice in one day!" As she passed by Wei Zhao, Shen Yushu gave a sly smile and whispered.

"Huh?" Wei Zhao was taken aback for a moment, then realized what Shen Yushu meant and immediately did not know whether to laugh or cry. Twice in one day, huh? Both times had been misunderstandings!

Gu Mengyao, on the other hand, said nothing. She gave Wei Zhao a cold look, said nothing, took Shen Yushu's hand, and left the ward.

"That is just how Yaoyao is. Do not take offense, Mr. Lin." Only after Gu Mengyao and Shen Yushu had left did Uncle Qing pat Wei Zhao on the shoulder and say, "What happened today was all thanks to you. When Mr. Gu comes back, I will be sure to commend you for it."

"No need." Wei Zhao smiled. "Mr. Gu gave me so much money; I naturally have to live up to it."

"Heh heh." Uncle Qing laughed happily. "No matter what, today we owe it all to you."

"Uncle Qing, this matter is not that simple. According to that bald-headed man, a man called Brother Cihua made them do it. Their operation this time should be understood as a bank robbery as a cover—the real purpose was to kidnap Gu Mengyao." Wei Zhao said, "Although we do not know what the people behind it really want, I still think we should investigate. Relying only on the police will not be enough."

"Mm, I understand. I will tell Mr. Gu about this matter." Uncle Qing nodded. He had been suspicious too. Why was Gu Mengyao kidnapped precisely during the time Mr. Gu was away? Was there some connection between the two?

Wei Zhao did not say much more. After all, this was their family affair, and he could only touch on it lightly.

In the hospital parking lot, Wei Zhao saw Qiu Lingshan driving a police car toward him. Wei Zhao smiled at her, but Qiu Lingshan glared at him. She did not stop the car; instead, she stepped harder on the accelerator.

Wei Zhao and Uncle Qing got in the car together. Gu Mengyao and Shen Yushu were already sitting in the back row, saying something to each other. But once Uncle Qing and Wei Zhao got in, the two closed their mouths, and for a moment the atmosphere in the car grew rather stuffy.

What Gu Mengyao and Shen Yushu had been talking about in the car just now was precisely the question of Wei Zhao. Gu Mengyao's opinion was still very resolute: Wei Zhao had to be driven away. But Shen Yushu felt it was not bad for Wei Zhao to stay—at least there would be breakfast every morning.

This enraged Gu Mengyao. How could she only know how to eat? Her family's hotels had plenty of head chefs; did they lack a half-baked bumpkin from the countryside like Wei Zhao?

And so the two of them fell silent. After Wei Zhao got into the car, they became even quieter.

As usual, Uncle Qing parked the car in front of the gate of Gu Mengyao's villa. It seemed Shen Yushu was going to keep living together with Gu Mengyao, so Uncle Qing simply did not stop at Shen Yushu's house either.

The three of them got out of the car, and Uncle Qing drove off. He still had to go to the hotel to prepare meals for the three children. Of course, in his eyes, Wei Zhao was a child too.

"Stop." Just as Wei Zhao was about to step through the gate of the villa, Gu Mengyao called him to a halt.

"What is it?" Wei Zhao turned around. Although he could tease Qiu Lingshan, toward Gu Mengyao he maintained a certain degree of respect. After all, she was his employer, and his job was to accompany her in her studies and daily life and bring her happiness. Hence, Wei Zhao's attitude toward her had always been very good.
