Chapter 235 — Tang Yun's Prank
The Blossom Guardian · Page 2 of 2
"If he liked you, how could he have refused? Mom was your age once too, and I understand something of how young people think. To be able to refuse under those circumstances, that is the only possible explanation!" Tang's mother reasoned.
"Oh, Mom, stop asking so many questions..." Tang Yun said, embarrassed, shyly shaking her mother's arm.
"Why can't Mom ask? Of course Mom has to keep track of how things stand with you!" Tang's mother grew only more anxious. If Wei Zhao did not like her daughter, then would her family stay poor forever?
"He said that only if I agree to be with him, to date him, would he..." At this point Tang Yun herself was too shy to go on, and ignoring the fact that her mother was still standing there, she ran into the house by herself...
"Oh?" Hearing Tang Yun's account, Tang's mother felt quite comforted, though she still shook her head. "That boy Wei Zhao is really quite good. If so, he should treat Yun-er well in the future..."
At this thought, Tang's mother cheered up again...
In the outer room of an intensive-care ward at Songshan City First People's Hospital, Qiu Lingshan sat at a desk with several police officers.
Qiu Lingshan frowned tightly and looked helplessly at her colleagues. "Do any of you have an idea?"
Black Panther had woken up, but he refused to say a word about why his strength had suddenly surged, wearing an expression that said kill or flay as you please. Qiu Lingshan could do nothing with him.
After all, whether Black Panther's strength had suddenly spiked had nothing to do with the case. If he would not talk, Qiu Lingshan had no way to force him to talk. She was simply curious herself.
"Chief Song, I say let's just forget it. He has no strength left now anyway. If he won't talk, there's nothing we can do, and it has nothing to do with the case. Just send him straight back to the detention center and we can close the case!" one subordinate suggested.
What he said was reasonable enough — Qiu Lingshan had no grounds to dig into anything unrelated to the case... Just as Qiu Lingshan was torn, a policeman assigned to guard Black Panther ran out of the ward. "Captain Song, he talked..."
"He talked? What did he say?" Qiu Lingshan asked.
"He said that years ago he took some kind of pill, and he can trigger it at any time to burst his strength to its peak, but he can't hold it for long before returning to his normal level..." the policeman said. "Black Panther wanted to sleep, and I nagged him till he got annoyed, so he told me..."
"What?" Hearing her subordinate's report, Qiu Lingshan was instantly full of black lines. Saying it this way was as good as saying nothing, with no usable value at all. Black Panther had not actually lied, however. Years ago he really had taken a similar pill which, combined with his sect's mental mantra, could be triggered to make his power surge in an instant.
Thinking of how weak Black Panther was now, Qiu Lingshan chose to believe him — she had no choice but to believe. Black Panther had indeed been crippled by Wei Zhao. If his level had not dropped, Qiu Lingshan would never have believed Wei Zhao could be this formidable.
"All right. Once Black Panther's injuries heal, send him back to the detention center to await trial." Qiu Lingshan waved her hand. This Black Panther had really put her through the wringer, and she had not slept well for days. Now that he was caught, sending him back would count as mission accomplished.
