Chapter 307 — Gu Pengzhan's Predicament
The Blossom Guardian · Page 2 of 2
"Then you mean..." Gu Pengzhan was startled. From his father's tone, it seemed he did not want to involve himself in the matter.
"Go find Wei Zhao." Old Master Chu sighed softly. "In this situation, perhaps he is the only one who can help you..."
"Him?" Gu Pengzhan was instantly astonished. "Father, when you say to bring him here, you don't mean for him and Yaoyao to..."
"Heh heh. He may have a way. Who can say?" Old Master Chu did not say it plainly, only smiled with a hint of reserve.
"Father, I understand." Gu Pengzhan hung up. He did not know why his father wanted him to seek out Wei Zhao -- he truly could not work out what Wei Zhao could possibly do in such a situation.
Wei Zhao was not a shareholder of the company, held no shares in it. When the company convened its board meeting, Wei Zhao had no way to intervene at all. But since the old master had named him and told him to go, Gu Pengzhan could only go with the attitude of giving it a try.
Gu Pengzhan truly had not expected that he, a business titan who bestrode the world, would be outmaneuvered by the son of his father's old friend. Had he really been too merciful before? Perhaps his father was right. If, when the first signs had appeared, he had cut through the tangled mess with a sharp blade without a second thought, then perhaps today's troubles would never have come.
Some shareholders might have criticized him for disregarding the old ties of their fathers' generation, but that would still have been far better than being reduced to this helpless pass today.
After a moment's hesitation, Gu Pengzhan said to Li Fu, who was driving, "To Yaoyao's villa."
"Very good, Mr. Gu." Uncle Qing sighed. "Mr. Gu, don't be too anxious. Since Old Master Chu says Wei Zhao has a way, then he must have a way."
"Let us hope so." Gu Pengzhan nodded.
Wei Zhao parked the car in front of Gu Mengyao's villa, only to see a Bentley turn in behind him. Looking closely, it was Uncle Qing's car.
Wei Zhao got out and did not go into the villa. He waited until Uncle Qing's car had parked, and then saw Gu Pengzhan climb out of it. "Xiaoyi?"
Gu Pengzhan had not expected Wei Zhao to have just returned as well. He glanced at the van Wei Zhao was driving with some surprise. "Your car?"
"Oh, I helped Qiu Lingshan catch a wanted criminal -- that Black Panther fellow." Wei Zhao did not conceal it. "The car was the one Black Panther drove. I just had Qiu Lingshan get the plates registered this afternoon."
Gu Pengzhan nodded. He had not expected that Wei Zhao, quietly and without fanfare, had already built up his own network in Songshan City. That he could keep this car from Qiu Lingshan's hands clearly showed the two shared no ordinary relationship.
"Xiaoyi, Uncle Chu has something he wants to discuss with you!" Gu Pengzhan did not linger on the matter of the car, but patted Wei Zhao on the shoulder and said.
"Oh? All right. Shall we go inside to talk?" Wei Zhao locked the van's door.
Gu Pengzhan hesitated a moment, then said, "Why don't we get in my car?"
Wei Zhao was slightly taken aback, then understood at once. He nodded. "All right."
Wei Zhao guessed that Gu Pengzhan had some words he did not want Gu Mengyao to hear, and so had chosen to speak with him inside the car.
