"All right, no need to go on. I think I understand." Hearing Uncle Qing's account, Gu Pengzhan shook his head with a wry smile. At bottom, this whole affair had been stirred up by his precious daughter. "Xiao Yi, Yaoyao loves to make mischief. Do not indulge her. She needs someone to keep her in line. Do not go along with her games next time. This time it nearly caused a disaster. If you had not been so skilled, who knows what might have happened."
"Hehe, Uncle Chu, I am fine," Wei Zhao said, and it was the truth. He had never taken Black Panther seriously. Small fry like that, put on the front line, would be nothing but cannon fodder, utterly useless.
"As for this Zhong Yongliang, I think I will have to speak to Principal Ding Binggong. A student of such character should not be kept in the school." Gu Pengzhan was furious with Zhong Yongliang.
"Mr. Gu, this Zhong Yongliang is Director Jin's nephew..." Uncle Qing kept records of all such trifling details, so he at once put in a reminder.
"Oh?" Gu Pengzhan frowned, not expecting Zhong Yongliang to have such a connection. Although Gu Pengzhan was chairman of the Gu Group and its largest shareholder, there were many other shareholders on the board. Though none held as many shares as Gu Pengzhan, they still carried considerable weight. So Gu Pengzhan could hardly offend another director over such a small matter.
The Gu Group was one of the shareholders of First High School, so Director Jin had naturally become one of its shareholders as well. That being so, Ding Binggong would indeed be in a difficult position. Gu Pengzhan thought it over. Graduation was not far off in any case, so he gave up the idea of having Zhong Yongliang removed.
"Uncle Chu, you need not trouble yourself. After this affair, Zhong Yongliang will keep his tail between his legs at school from now on." Wei Zhao had never taken him seriously in the first place.
"Mm, Xiao Yi, I am truly sorry about this... Though I steer a whole group, there are many matters in which I can do little," Gu Pengzhan sighed.
"Uncle Chu, that is just what I wanted to talk to you about." Seeing that Gu Pengzhan had steered the talk toward the running of the company, Wei Zhao needed no further pretext and said directly, "Uncle Chu, have you found out what that bank robbery the other day was really about?"
"So far we only suspect that something about it was out of the ordinary, but we have not yet sorted out the threads." Gu Pengzhan hid nothing. "One thing is confirmed. Their people were after Yaoyao. The bank robbery was only a pretext. They did not move against Yaoyao sooner or later, but chose the very time when I was away in another city on business. That motive is worth suspecting."
Wei Zhao inwardly applauded. Gu Pengzhan was indeed the helmsman of a great group, to have reasoned this much from such scattered clues. It was well done. His suspicion was very close to the truth of the matter.
"My first reaction was that someone meant to extort money from me, but then I felt something was wrong. Thinking of the other side's strange attitude when I was away negotiating business, I faintly feel that this affair has something to do with them." Gu Pengzhan kept nothing from Wei Zhao. After all, Wei Zhao was now the man at his daughter's side, and telling him his suspicions would let him prepare in advance, just in case.
