Chapter 61 — The Girl I Could Never Forget
The Blossom Guardian · Page 2 of 2
"I really feel like killing you." Yang Huaijun drove a fist toward the middle of Wei Zhao's back.
Wei Zhao did not even turn his head as he casually caught his arm. "As long as you can manage it."
Yang Huaijun knew the gap between himself and Wei Zhao was far from small. Dejected, he let the strength drain from his arm, and Wei Zhao released him at the same moment, opened the door, and walked out of Yang Huaijun's office.
Although Wei Zhao's expression showed no change, his thoughts drifted back of their own accord to those years torn by the flames of war... to the girl who had crossed his fate only to part from it.
Over the past two years, Wei Zhao had often jolted awake from his nighttime cultivation, drenched in sweat every time. This was something that had never happened to him since he began practicing the Xuanyuan Yulong Jue. But those melancholy eyes haunted him like an inner demon, returning again and again to fill his nights.
Every time he saw those reproachful, sorrowful eyes at their parting, Wei Zhao would wake from his cultivation before he knew it. It was a nightmare that repeated without end...
Had he truly forgotten her? Clearly not. She was the kind of girl no man could look at once and ever forget in his whole life... Yet Wei Zhao also understood clearly that her dazzling brilliance did not belong to him.
If the seventeen-year-old Wei Zhao had still carried a trace of wild pride, the present Wei Zhao understood far better how cold reality was. To seek her out would only bring trouble to her and those around her. With their families so unequal in standing, a nobody winning a princess happened only in novels. It was nonsense.
From the moment Wei Zhao was taken away by the police, Chief Chen's phone at the station had not stopped ringing. First it was Ding Binggong, the principal of No.1 High School. Chief Chen treated Ding Binggong's call with great care, promising him that the matter would definitely be investigated thoroughly.
But the callers who followed carried more and more weight. First it was Uncle Qing from Gu Pengzhan's side, and afterward Gu Pengzhan himself called personally to inquire.
Left with no choice, Chief Chen had to call Qiu Lingshan, urging her to close the case as quickly as possible. It had to be fair and just, leaving no room for gossip.
But the news he got from Qiu Lingshan was that the man had been taken away by Yang Huaijun, who had just returned. Chief Chen had no choice but to call Yang Huaijun instead.
"What? Already released?" Chief Chen was somewhat taken aback. Yang Huaijun had handled this far too fast.
"Yes. It was a gang of underworld thugs causing trouble at the school in the first place. It had nothing to do with Wei Zhao. Once I understood the situation, I sent him back." Yang Huaijun reported in his usual crisp and efficient tone.
"As long as everything is fine." Chief Chen breathed a sigh of relief. Now he could give an answer to both Ding Binggong and Gu Pengzhan.
When Qiu Lingshan learned that Yang Huaijun had released Wei Zhao, she was stunned for a long time. Yet in her heart she knew Wei Zhao bore no blame, for she had just gotten the whole story from two of Brother Black Panther's men. Brother Black Panther had gone looking for trouble first, and only then had Wei Zhao struck him.
