Chapter 296 — An Evening Date, While the Dealership Owner Waited Days for Black Panther to Transfer the Title but His Phone Stayed Switched Off
The Blossom Guardian · Page 1 of 2
After hearing the dealer out, Qiu Lingshan did not bother to explain. She told him to come straight to the city police bureau and go with Wei Zhao to the vehicle administration office to transfer the title. As long as the car was not stolen goods, she could not be bothered to ask where Wei Zhao had gotten it from.
"All right, your business is settled. Now will you add to your statement?" Qiu Lingshan took out her statement notebook, ready to take Wei Zhao's deposition.
"Forget the statement. Just make one up yourself. The credit is all yours anyway. I do not want any of it," Wei Zhao said.
"No." Qiu Lingshan refused flatly. This time Wei Zhao had taken down Huang Guanya in full view of everyone, so how could the credit possibly go to her? What would other people say?
"Wait while I make a call." Wei Zhao ignored her, dialed Yang Huaijun directly, said a couple of words, then handed the phone to Qiu Lingshan: "Listen for yourself."
Qiu Lingshan took Wei Zhao's phone and heard Yang Huaijun's voice. Though she was not pleased with Yang Huaijun's order, she still answered meekly: "Understood, Director Yang!"
Qiu Lingshan frowned as she handed the phone back to Wei Zhao. What exactly was this fellow's relationship with Yang Huaijun? The always selfless and impartial Yang Huaijun, ever since he got mixed up with Wei Zhao, had seen his image collapse utterly in Qiu Lingshan's eyes.
"All right, you can go." Qiu Lingshan spoke crisply. Since Yang Huaijun had said the credit for this case would count as hers, then so be it. The men of the criminal team were all Yang Huaijun's old subordinates. As long as Yang Huaijun gave the word, no one would raise any objection.
"Heh, if you keep up this businesslike attitude next time, do not come looking for me." Wei Zhao was angry too. He was moonlighting as an agent and was not even paid, and this was the attitude he got?
Qiu Lingshan shot Wei Zhao a glare and said nothing. In her heart she said, what are you so cocky about? Think you are invincible? Just wait until you run into something you cannot solve, and see how I mock and taunt you. For now I will endure it.
Wei Zhao did not insist that Qiu Lingshan make any kind of statement. To him, whether she did or not made no difference at all.
Coming out of the police station, Wei Zhao saw a fat, big-eared fellow looking left and right at the entrance.
"Mr. Wang?" Wei Zhao walked over and asked.
"Yes, that is me." Wang Mingri came up to meet him with a face full of smiles: "You must be Captain Song's friend? Shall we go transfer the title now?"
"Heh, let us go. Then I will have to trouble you, Mr. Wang." Wei Zhao nodded.
Although Wang Mingri could see that Wei Zhao was not the man who had bought the car that day, Captain Song of the criminal team had personally called, so this man must be no problem. Captain Song would never cheat him out of a ten-thousand-yuan car, so Wang Mingri did not even ask for details and went to the vehicle administration office to help Wei Zhao transfer the ownership.
Before leaving, he even gave Wei Zhao a business card, telling him to call him directly next time he wanted a car. New or used, he knew people and could help.
Wei Zhao thanked him, put away the card, and prepared to drive to school.
Anyway this beat-up car was now Wei Zhao's private property. He could drive it to and from school every day without having to ask Gu Mengyao for permission.
Before he reached the school, Wei Zhao's phone rang. He took it out and saw it was Guan Xuemin's number.
"Grandpa Guan?" Wei Zhao quickly answered the call.
"Xiao Yi? What are you busy with?" Guan Xuemin's voice came from the other end of the phone.
"Nothing much. I am just driving to school. Grandpa Guan, is something the matter?" Wei Zhao asked.
