Chapter 124 — They Came Knocking

"Oh, nothing. Just curious - curious!" Zou Ruoming said. "I'm off now; the guys called me to play basketball." Zhong Yongliang curled his lip. Curious? Curious, my ass. Still, it looked as though Zou Ruoming was going to make a move, and that was good news indeed.
"Oh, all right." Wei Zhao knew Wang Zhifeng was putting on a strict front in front of Kang Xiaofeng. Their relationship was rather improper, but it couldn't be exposed. He patted Kang Xiaofeng on the shoulder: "You go on ahead to morning exercises. The director needs me for something."
"All right..." Although Kang Xiaofeng was somewhat worried, with the director standing right there, he didn't dare ask too many questions and had to head off on his own first.
After Kang Xiaofeng left, Wei Zhao finally asked, "What's going on, Director Wang?"
"It's like this. Captain Yang from the Criminal Investigation Division at the police station is here. He wants to see you about something..." Wang Zhifeng smiled ruefully. "I'd say it's probably about last week's incident. Be careful, and don't say anything off the mark. Whatever they ask, just say you don't know - that'll do. As for anything else, I'll handle it on behalf of the school."
Wang Zhifeng was genuinely decent, volunteering to shoulder the responsibility for Wei Zhao. It seemed he truly wanted to build a good relationship with him. There was the factor of Wei Zhao having caught him in his private affairs that day, but there was also the factor of Gu Pengzhan.
"Heh... all right." As soon as Wei Zhao heard that Yang Huaijun had come, he knew it couldn't be about last week's incident. Nine times out of ten, the prescription he had given him was working - and the man couldn't hold back and had come knocking on his door.
Still, the timing was rather convenient. Under normal circumstances, a criminal investigation captain showing up at a school out of the blue to see a student would certainly arouse suspicion. But with last week's incident as cover, no one would think anything of it.
The two arrived at the Academic Affairs Office. Wang Zhifeng pushed the door open first and called inside: "Captain Yang, I've brought student Wei Zhao over. But we agreed beforehand - asking questions is fine, but if you want to take anyone away, I must notify the principal first..."
"It's just asking a few questions!" Captain Yang smiled. "Director Wang, don't worry. We won't cause any trouble for your work. Tell you what... how about stepping out for a moment?"
"In that case, go ahead and talk." Wang Zhifeng nodded, let Wei Zhao in, and then stepped out of the Academic Affairs Office, pulling the door shut behind him.
"So? The prescription I gave you works well enough, doesn't it?" Once Wang Zhifeng had stepped out, Wei Zhao dropped casually onto the sofa nearby and asked.
"Ying, you're incredible! That prescription actually works better than those painkillers!" Yang Huaijun punched Wei Zhao excitedly, but Wei Zhao deftly and imperceptibly dodged it.
"Call me Wei Zhao," Wei Zhao corrected him.
"Fine, Wei Zhao it is, Wei Zhao!" Yang Huaijun did not mind; a name was only a code name. "Wei Zhao, there's something I have to apologize to you for. That prescription you gave me, I—haha—I let the doctor treating me see it... But he promised not to pass it on."
"Heh, let him see it. It can help more people too." Wei Zhao smiled, not minding Yang Huaijun's actions in the least. "What did he say?"
