Chapter 771 — Arrow Brand Bro Is Too Strong

But Zhao Qibing truly did not dare let Wei Zhao go to the police. If this matter were ever seriously investigated, flaws were bound to surface. After all, Wei Zhao's car had exploded in the parking garage of Qibing Tower, and if anyone started tracing where the bomb had come from, Zhao Qibing was terrified of what might slip out.

"It's just a beat-up old van. Are you really that hard up for a few bucks?" Zhao Qibing said bitterly.

"Young Master Bing, you're wrong there. That car of mine was top of the line. I paid three hundred thousand for it!" Wei Zhao said, perfectly composed.

Damn it! Three hundred thousand?

Zhao Qibing nearly hurled the phone from his hand! Three hundred thousand — why don't you just go rob a bank? You think you're driving a BMW? Even the most beat-up old BMW in the same condition as that van of yours wouldn't be worth three hundred thousand!

"Three hundred thousand. I'll pay you back," Zhao Qibing said, unwilling to drag things out with Wei Zhao any longer. "But mark my words — this business today is far from over."

"Ha, Cihua Bro has my account number. He can just wire the money over to me directly," Wei Zhao said with a laugh. "A bank transfer — it won't exceed the limit this time, will it?"

Wei Zhao had Zhao Qibing short of breath with fury. He hung up outright and slammed the phone savagely onto the ground.

"Young Master Bing, this time we really are going to lose everything down to the last penny!" Li Cihua no longer cared whether his own phone had been smashed or not. He had put up two towers. The first tower had been financed mainly by Jin Gubang, with Li Cihua merely assisting, but this second tower had been funded entirely out of Li Cihua's own pocket!

Now that the tower had come down, Li Cihua's heart was bleeding. That was all gleaming silver — his own money, gone just like that!

"Tomorrow, go tear it all down for me! Tear down the shantytown, tear down the orphanage! Put up the buildings — I want every last bit of my losses back!" Zhao Qibing screamed himself hoarse. "Get the demolition project started as fast as you can!"

"Yes, Young Master Bing!" Li Cihua nodded. "But Qibing Tower..."

"We're not rebuilding it! Just rent some random office space for now. Once we've made money off the shantytown and the orphanage, we'll build Qibing Tower again!" Zhao Qibing could no longer afford to worry about face, either. He knew full well that Qibing Real Estate had been dealt a devastating blow this time, and if they didn't start turning a profit, they really would go bankrupt!

Zhao Qibing had wanted to achieve something to show the Zhao family, but now not only had he achieved nothing — he had gotten two of his own towers knocked down. Never mind entering the Zhao family; he would be lucky not to be made a laughingstock by the direct-line Zhao heirs!

"Understood. I'll head to the shantytown tomorrow and handle this myself!" Li Cihua sighed. How to deal with Wei Zhao was still Zhao Qibing's problem — at the very least, the men he had on hand were no match for Wei Zhao.

It seemed now that playing tricks and scheming against Wei Zhao was useless. Take today's bomb, for instance — not only had it failed to kill Wei Zhao, it had blown up their own tower instead. Could things get any worse?

Meanwhile, not far from the tower, Gu Mengyao, Shen Yushu, Tang Zhi, and Tang Zhi's mother stood by the roadside, staring fixedly at Qibing Tower, wondering what was about to happen to it.

"Sister Yao, nothing seems wrong with Qibing Tower?" Shen Yushu asked, a little anxiously.

"Don't be impatient. Just watch a while longer." Gu Mengyao had no idea what trick Wei Zhao was playing either, so this was all she could offer Shen Yushu by way of explanation.

"Oh..." Shen Yushu had barely nodded when a tremendous boom rang out, and then Qibing Tower — like a stunt straight out of a movie — came crashing down with a roar, reduced to rubble in an instant!

Qibing Tower had collapsed! Gu Mengyao's eyes went wide, and Tang Zhi's and Tang Zhi's mother's eyes went wide as well!

"Holy crap, Arrow Brand Bro is too strong!" Shen Yushu clicked her tongue, staring at the spectacle before her in disbelief. She had never imagined Wei Zhao would actually bring Qibing Tower down! Earlier she had said such things, but they were just words — making a tower collapse was not something that could be done so easily.

And yet Wei Zhao had gone and done it!

A sudden sweetness welled up in Shen Yushu's heart. Arrow Brand Bro was so good to her — she had wanted to see a tower collapse, and he had gone and made one collapse! The little wife was still very much cherished, it seemed!

Gu Mengyao rubbed her eyes, hardly able to believe the scene before her! It had really collapsed?

Tang Zhi also couldn't help but think that Wei Zhao was perhaps going a bit too far. He had just collapsed someone's building a moment ago, and now he'd done it again? This tower had been worth a hundred million, Young Master Bing had said so himself. A hundred million, gone just like that? How much money was that? Tang Zhi felt a little dizzy...

Mother Tang was feeling the pinch too — if only all that money had gone to their own family instead. Gone in the blink of an eye. What a shame!

"Wasn't that fun?" Wei Zhao had already returned while everyone was still standing there in astonishment.

"Oh, Brother Jianpai, you're amazing! Xiaoshu is so thrilled!" Shen Yushu shrieked. "I finally got to see a building collapse in real time — this is so much fun!"

"Wei Zhao, how did you do it?" Gu Mengyao was equally taken aback — just how had Wei Zhao managed it?

"Wei Zhao, are you all right?" Tang Zhi, unwilling to be outdone, asked with concern.

"Heh, Zhao Qibing wanted to blow us all up. He planted a timed bomb in the car." Wei Zhao saw no reason to hold back an explanation now — they were out of danger, so there was no harm in telling them. "All I did was drive the car back into their underground parking garage..."

"A timed bomb!" Gu Mengyao started. "Earlier, when you said the car had a malfunction — you were actually going to check on the bomb?"

"That's right, but I didn't want to worry you, so I kept quiet." Wei Zhao nodded.

"Why would you do something so dangerous? You knew there was a bomb and still didn't hurry to escape — you even drove the car back?" Hearing Wei Zhao's words, Tang Zhi was seized by a sudden chill of dread. If he had misjudged the timing even slightly, it wouldn't have been the building that got blown up — it would have been Wei Zhao!

Could it be that Wei Zhao had risked his life simply to curry favor with Shen Yushu? A faint unease crept into Tang Zhi's heart.

"Wouldn't that have let them off easy? Besides, if the car was left on the roadside, what if it hit innocent bystanders?" Wei Zhao shrugged. "The best spot I could think of for the explosion was their own building's parking garage — at least it couldn't harm anyone innocent..."

"Oh, then did Zhao Qibing get blown up?" Shen Yushu asked excitedly.

"No. Before the explosion, I called them. If they died, who would I make pay for the car?" Wei Zhao had never expected to actually kill Zhao Qibing. Even without that phone call, they would still have seen on the surveillance feed that he'd driven the car back in.

So Wei Zhao had merely placed a phone call — just enough to disgust Zhao Qibing and Li Cihua. RO
