Chapter 312 — Yaoyao Tells On Him
The Blossom Guardian · Page 1 of 2
Wei Zhao did not finish the sentence, but it was plain that Xie Guangbo understood what he meant.
"Rest assured, so long as my son is safe, I will go along with whatever you say!" Xie Guangbo had thought it through. If Wei Zhao truly brought his son back, nothing could be better. He had neither shares nor money in his hands now, but that would force his son to taste the hard life of an ordinary man; with no money for drugs and gambling, perhaps the boy would set himself on the right path!
"I hope you mean what you say." Wei Zhao gave Xie Guangbo a long, searching look, and seeing that his eyes were clear, he went on, "I will grant your wish as well. Give me your son's information and send it to my phone mailbox. My number is 152XXXX1234..."
"I will send it to you in a moment! May I ask... how is A-Huang..." Xie Guangbo ventured cautiously.
"He will not die. A tough hand like him, early Yellow Rank, need only lie at home half a month to recover." Wei Zhao waved a hand carelessly.
Xie Guangbo's heart jolted. Wei Zhao could size up A-Huang's strength that easily? Then what was his own strength? Still, the stronger Wei Zhao was, the happier Xie Guangbo felt, for only then would Wei Zhao have any hope of bringing his son back from the gang's clutches.
This time Wei Zhao did not leap out the window. He strode out through the front door, got into the Beetle, and vanished from Xie Guangbo's sight.
A Beetle? Xie Guangbo blinked, glanced at the licence plate, and it came to him that the car belonged to Shen Yushu, that good friend of Gu Mengyao's...
So he really was one of Gu Mengyao's people? And yet Xie Guangbo could not bring himself to believe that a fighter of such skill would be Gu Mengyao's close guard; was that even possible? Even Uncle Qing at Gu Pengzhan's side did not have skill to match him, surely?
Xie Guangbo shook his head and gave up guessing at Wei Zhao's identity. There was no point in guessing any longer; he need only do as Wei Zhao had told him.
He telephoned Mama Wang, the nanny in the servants' quarters, and had her come up to take A-Huang back to his room. Since Wei Zhao said A-Huang was fine, then fine he must be.
Entering the room, he found A-Huang already awake. He struggled to open his eyes and glanced at Xie Guangbo. "Mr. Xie, I am sorry... I failed to protect you..."
"Say no more! The man is very strong! Are you all right? Do you need a hospital?" Xie Guangbo waved a hand. Since he himself was no match for the man, he could hardly blame A-Huang. A-Huang had done his utmost.
"No need. I will be fine after some rest..." A-Huang shook his head. "At the very least, he is late Yellow Rank... Mr. Xie, you are not hurt?"
"No..." Xie Guangbo smiled bitterly. Late Yellow Rank: that was two grades above A-Huang. Against a fighter of that caliber, A-Huang would naturally be no match...
Wei Zhao drove back to the villa district, only to find that Gu Pengzhan's car had not left. Gu Pengzhan himself was no longer inside, though; only Uncle Qing sat quietly in the driver's seat.
"Where is Uncle Gu?" Wei Zhao asked once he had parked the car.
"Inside the villa. Mr. Gu said that the moment you returned, you were to go straight in and see him." Uncle Qing nodded to Wei Zhao.
Inside the villa, Wei Zhao found Gu Pengzhan sitting on the sofa, saying something to Gu Mengyao, while Shen Yushu sat to one side watching television.
Seeing Wei Zhao come back so late, Gu Mengyao's mood turned sour at once. "Daddy, look at Wei Zhao. He is always coming home this late. You are the one paying him, a twenty-four-hour attendant. How can he have so little work discipline?"
As she spoke, Gu Mengyao threw Wei Zhao a smug look, thinking: Let us see whether you dare go out philandering again. This time Daddy is here too, and you have been caught red-handed. Let us see how you talk your way out of this one!
