Chapter 237 — Half of the Other Party's Terms
The Blossom Guardian · Page 2 of 2
Zhong Yongliang limped into the classroom, his eyes brimming with hatred, and when his gaze fell on Wei Zhao's seat it was full of chill.
Yet he dared not let a trace of that hatred show. Brother Black Panther had actually been sent to prison by Wei Zhao a second time! And beaten half-crippled into the bargain! Zhong Yongliang had learned the news the night before. Zhong Fabai was a man of considerable renown in the Songshan area, and naturally had friends in the police station.
Though he did not know how Wei Zhao had beaten Brother Black Panther half-crippled and thrown him into prison, Wei Zhao's strength was absolutely not to be underestimated. Brother Black Panther's power had already reached the peak of the late Yellow rank — he could leap across eaves and run along walls — and yet he had fallen at Wei Zhao's hands again. So just how formidable was this creature Wei Zhao?
Not to avenge this would be unworthy of the name of man! The humiliation Zhong Yongliang had suffered last night was something he could not bear to look back on for the rest of his life! And all of it was thanks to Wei Zhao!
Wei Zhao, the moment I, your young master, find an opportunity, I will make you regret ever being born into this world! Zhong Yongliang clenched his fists.
"Boss, I'm truly sorry about last night. I failed to look after Sister-in-law Tang Yun..." Kang ** said, blaming himself.
"It's not your fault. That taxi was probably rigged from the start!" Wei Zhao said. "By the way, how are you? Nothing the matter, I hope?"
"I'm fine. They weren't after me, I think!" Kang ** said. "By the way, boss, what happened after you had dinner with Zhong Yongliang yesterday? Why is he limping today? Hemorrhoids acting up?"
"Pff..." Wei Zhao's eyes went wide with astonishment. Could it be that Zou Ruoming really was blind as a bat and had taken Zhong Yongliang for Tang Yun? How else could such a result have come about? Wei Zhao speculated, none too charitably...
"Who knows. Yesterday Zhong Yongliang brought Black Panther to deal with me again, but I sent him to the police station once more." Wei Zhao gave a brief account, and glossed over the business of Tang Yun being taken in a single phrase. He did not want to say much about Tang Yun.
Kang ** could tell that Wei Zhao did not wish to speak of it, and so asked no more. The most important thing was that Tang Yun was safe and sound.
"By the way, boss, do you think Xiaofen and I... are really suited to each other?" Kang ** had been turning this question over for days, and it left him somewhat at a loss.
If it was love at first sight, then it would be truer to say that Kang ** had taken a fancy to Xiaofen's beauty. Though she could not compare with Tang Yun, to Kang ** she was already a peerless beauty.
After learning of Xiaofen's ordeal, Kang ** had felt from the bottom of his heart a tenderness for the girl, a sympathy for what she had suffered! Especially when he saw Xiaofen's helpless, pitiable look, it stirred in Kang ** a *** to shelter her for a lifetime!
This, too, was why Kang ** had been so eager to help these past days! Eighteen is a *** age, an age when one would go through fire and water for love! But once the *** had passed, Kang ** could not help but consider more deeply the future between him and Xiaofen.
Xiaofen's leg was bad. Even if it could be cured, the medical expenses would be no small sum — could he bear them? And would he, in the years to come, still like Xiaofen as he did now, still cherish and protect her?
