Chapter 213 — The Black Panther's Revenge
The Blossom Guardian · Page 2 of 2
"It really is urgent, Dad. Please come back quickly!" Zhong Yongliang was afraid someone beside his father might overhear, so he dared not speak in too much detail.
"Liangliang, what on earth is it? Why are you being so unreasonable? Dad is really busy over here!" Zhong Fabai was growing displeased. What could possibly happen so late at night?
"Brother Black Panther has broken out of prison..." Zhong Yongliang lowered his voice to the faintest whisper once more.
"What? What did you say?" Zhong Fabai froze for a moment, then said, "Wait for me. I will be right back."
Hearing that Brother Black Panther had escaped from prison, Zhong Fabai's heart tightened at once. He could no longer bother with entertaining clients. This was a grave matter, and if mishandled it could implicate his own son!
He had gone to great trouble before to have a lawyer arrange a meeting with Black Panther, persuading him to shoulder all the blame, with a promise of generous reward once he was released. But now that Black Panther had fled, things had grown somewhat complicated. Nothing else must go wrong!
Glancing at his wife, Zhong Fabai said, "Xiaohua, stay here and keep our old friends company. Something has come up with Liangliang, and I must hurry back!"
"All right, then hurry along." Zhong Fabai's wife knew at once that her husband would not leave at such a moment unless something serious had happened, so she asked no more and only set his mind at ease. "Leave this side to me. Old friends, you all know your sister-in-law can drink. Let us carry on!"
Although the guests at the table grumbled a little at Zhong Fabai's sudden departure, since they had not yet drunk to their hearts' content, hearing his wife's words they could only nod in agreement. They were all very close, after all, and it would not do to say more.
Zhong Fabai left the banquet, leaving the car to his wife, and hailed a taxi downstairs that took him straight home.
Without even bothering to take off his coat, he shouted as soon as he stepped through the door, "Liangliang, where are you? I am back!"
Hearing his father's voice, Zhong Yongliang came quickly out of his room and ran downstairs. "Dad, I am here!"
"What happened? How did Black Panther escape? Tell me, how do you know? It seems no news of this has come out?" Zhong Fabai asked in puzzlement. After all, Black Panther's escape was a major event. There should have been news reports and the like, yet there was still no word. How did Zhong Yongliang know?
Before Zhong Yongliang could even open his mouth, however, Zhong Fabai's phone began to ring.
Zhong Fabai glanced at the caller ID, then at once gestured to his son Zhong Yongliang to keep silent before answering the call. "Captain Song, why are you calling so late?"
"Is this President Zhong? I have unfortunate news for you. Black Panther has escaped." Qiu Lingshan had not wanted to make this call, but she had to. Once Black Panther escaped, the targets of his revenge would be Wei Zhao on the one hand, and Zhong Fabai on the other.
As for Black Panther's going to the school to ***, Qiu Lingshan was no fool and could naturally guess the general reason. Only, Black Panther had confessed to the matter himself, and Zhong Fabai wielded no small influence in this city, while his brother-in-law was even a shareholder of the Gu Group. With so many interested parties involved, Qiu Lingshan could hardly cast suspicion recklessly without evidence.
