Chapter 332 — Safe Return
The Blossom Guardian · Page 2 of 2
Wei Zhao himself felt nothing much, but Xie Jinbiao was overwhelmed with emotion, trembling all over with excitement...
"Having a craving?" Wei Zhao glanced at him.
"No, I am just a little excited. I have already kicked the habit..." Xie Jinbiao said, a little embarrassed...
"Kicked it?" Wei Zhao was taken aback. This kid could quit drugs?
"I was locked up for two months. With no money, who would give me drugs! It was awful at first, but I pulled through..." Xie Jinbiao explained, rather sheepishly.
Wei Zhao nodded and said nothing. In a case like Xie Jinbiao's, if he never touched the stuff again, a complete recovery was possible. The fear was that he would touch it again. One touch and he would be hooked once more.
But that was none of Wei Zhao's business. Bringing him back was fulfillment enough of his promise.
At the airport, Uncle Qing's car had not come to meet them. Wei Zhao had not told him the exact time of his return. The tickets could be changed, so the time of their return depended on how smoothly Wei Zhao's mission went.
Out of the airport, Wei Zhao raised a hand to flag a taxi, and got in with Xie Jinbiao.
"To Qianhua Waterfront Estate." Wei Zhao instructed the taxi driver.
"All right!" The taxi driver nodded and started the car, feeling a little puzzled. Wei Zhao was dressed very ordinarily, while the kid in the back looked as if he had escaped from a refugee camp, ragged and thin as an opium addict. These two going to Qianhua Waterfront? That was where rich people lived!
But he asked no more questions. After all, what he collected was the fare. What they went there for was none of his business.
Xie Jinbiao had not been back in the country for several years. Looking at the streets of Songshan, his eyes filled with excitement, and thinking he would soon be home, he grew even more excited...
When they reached Qianhua Waterfront, Wei Zhao paid the fare and got out with Xie Jinbiao, walking on foot toward District F...
Xie Guangbo had not gone to the company these past two days. He had announced to the outside that he had a bad cold and needed to rest at home, which left Jin Gubang, who was already prepared to move against Gu Pengzhan, deeply frustrated...
Why fall ill sooner or later, but precisely at this critical moment when the board meeting was to be convened, Xie Guangbo fell ill?
Jin Gubang had visited Xie Guangbo once at his villa, but Xie Guangbo indeed looked haggard and worn. Jin Gubang did not suspect that Xie Guangbo was feigning illness!
And in fact, Xie Guangbo did not have a cold. The reason he looked haggard was worry over his son's safety! Although he had witnessed Wei Zhao's skills, as the saying goes, two fists are no match for four hands, especially in a strange foreign land that was entirely the other side's territory. Bringing his son back, no matter how you looked at it, seemed a most difficult task...
So, he had not slept well at night. How could he not look haggard? Jin Gubang happened to come, and seeing Xie Guangbo sickly and feeble, he could hardly press him further, only urging him to rest well and recover soon...
