Chapter 333 — Never Provoke Him
The Blossom Guardian · Page 2 of 2
Xie Guangbo went upstairs, brought down the equity documents he had long since prepared, and signed the transfer agreement over to Wei Zhao.
"I won't take the villa; leave it for you two to live in." Wei Zhao glanced at Xie Jinbiao. "All right, I'm off. You two carry on with your reunion!"
Out of Xie Guangbo's villa, Wei Zhao found a public telephone and dialed Gu Pengzhan's mobile number.
"Hello? Yes?" Xie Guangbo's heart was uneasy — and so was Gu Pengzhan's. For the past two days there had been no word from Wei Zhao, and Gu Pengzhan could not even settle down to read his documents. When the phone rang and he saw an unfamiliar number, he had not meant to answer — too many vexations lately — but after a moment's hesitation, he picked up.
"Uncle Chu? This is Wei Zhao!" Wei Zhao's voice came through the receiver, and Gu Pengzhan was instantly delighted! He had been anxious for news of Wei Zhao all along; now that Wei Zhao had called, his heart eased somewhat. Whether Xie Jinbiao had been rescued no longer concerned him much — so long as Wei Zhao was safe and sound.
Still, seeing that the number was from Songshan City, Gu Pengzhan found it strange. Could it be a long-distance relay?
"Wei Zhao, where are you? Are you all right?" Gu Pengzhan asked hurriedly.
"I'm fine. I just got back, and I'm on my way to your company now. You're at the office, right?" Wei Zhao asked.
"I am. Where are you? Shall I have Li Fu drive over to pick you up?" Gu Pengzhan's mind was set at ease at once — Wei Zhao had already returned to Songshan.
"No need. I'll take a taxi over," Wei Zhao said.
"All right then, I'll be waiting for you in my office!" Hearing this, Gu Pengzhan did not insist further. After all, Wei Zhao was back in Songshan City; there was no danger anymore.
Wei Zhao hailed a car and headed straight for the Gu Group. At this hour of the day there was no traffic, so in less than ten minutes he arrived outside the gates of the Gu Group building.
Wei Zhao had been to the Group several times before, and since that last incident the security guards at the gate remembered him well. Seeing him arrive, they greeted him at once with smiling faces.
Wei Zhao nodded and went straight to Gu Pengzhan's office. He knocked, and the door was opened quickly — Uncle Qing was standing inside.
"Mr. Lin, you've come. Mr. Gu is inside waiting for you!" Uncle Qing was a little surprised to see Wei Zhao. Though Gu Pengzhan had already told him that Wei Zhao was back, Uncle Qing still found it hard to believe. Barely two days there and back — could Wei Zhao really have brought Xie Jinbiao home? But where was Xie Jinbiao? Had the mission failed?
Still, with Gu Pengzhan present, Uncle Qing asked no more. It was for Gu Pengzhan to learn the details.
"Xiaoyi!" Seeing Wei Zhao enter, Gu Pengzhan rose to his feet to welcome him in person — a clear sign of how highly he regarded Wei Zhao. "I've been worried all this time, but it looks like you're unhurt. That's wonderful."
"Ha... Uncle Chu, didn't I tell you before? It was a trifling matter." Wei Zhao smiled and shrugged.
"A trifling matter? You mean... Xie Guangbo's son..." Gu Pengzhan stared at Wei Zhao in astonishment! He too had assumed Wei Zhao's mission had failed — otherwise he could not possibly have returned to the country in such a short time. But judging by Wei Zhao's tone, that did not seem to be the case...
