Chapter 160 — The Waiting One
The Blossom Guardian · Page 2 of 2
Although the refined man had polished looks, he was no soft pretty boy - quite the opposite. He was one of Li Cihua's most capable men, and blood was on his hands. Wei Zhao could sense this from his aura, though an ordinary person might never detect it.
This was also why Wei Zhao had intercepted the refined man the instant he made his move. Who knew whether this man meant Gu Mengyao any harm?
The refined man's scalp prickled with alarm. Though he had been speaking boldly to Gu Mengyao, the corner of his eye had been fixed on Wei Zhao's table the entire time. He had only reached out so brazenly after seeing that Wei Zhao appeared to have no intention of intervening. But in the very next instant, Wei Zhao had materialized behind him and seized his hand...
As the saying goes, one move tells you everything. The refined man was no amateur himself, yet Wei Zhao's speed had allowed him to appear at his back without being detected at all. A cold sweat broke over the refined man instantly.
Fast. That was his only impression. He himself had reached the early stage of the Yellow Realm - already far stronger than an ordinary person, strong enough to match a regular special forces soldier. But the refined man could feel that Wei Zhao's power surpassed his own.
If his guess was correct, Wei Zhao must be at least at the mid-stage of the Yellow Realm. Of course, this was merely the refined man's own estimate.
Wei Zhao appeared to be sitting there doing nothing at all, but in truth, his alertness had been heightened from the very beginning.
When they left the villa complex and turned the corner at the street, a black Buick had slipped into pursuit from a distance behind them. The Buick's tailing technique was impressive, but it could not fool Wei Zhao. Such surveillance might pass in an ordinary city, but on a battlefield, it would be a death sentence.
Naturally, as long as the Buick did not make any other aggressive moves, Wei Zhao couldn't be bothered with it.
It seemed this Buick must have been parked at the street corner the whole time, waiting for a chance to tail them.
The villa district had twenty-four-hour surveillance cameras, so they had no choice but to park at the corner just outside the district.
After Shen Yushu parked the car in front of the Geili Fuyun Bar, the Buick merely circled once past the entrance without stopping, then quickly drove away.
This was enough to rouse Wei Zhao's suspicions. If these people had come to tail Gu Mengyao, then even if they did not enter the bar, they ought to have parked nearby and waited for their next move.
But they had not done so. Naturally, Wei Zhao did not believe these people had nothing better to do than follow them halfway and then turn back on a whim. The only possibility was that they had people inside the bar, and there was no need to keep tailing.
And yet this was quite a coincidence — that the bar Gu Mengyao and Shen Yushu had chosen should happen to have their people in it!
So after entering the bar, Wei Zhao remained constantly on guard. He did not believe the other side would let such an opportunity slip by without using it to stir up some trouble.
As Wei Zhao had expected, from the moment the pretty boy appeared and he saw what the man did, Wei Zhao was entirely certain: this was the very person he had been waiting for — one of the other side's people.
