Chapter 278 — The Arrow-Brand Guy Is Mighty Fierce
The Blossom Guardian · Page 2 of 2
Even Chen Yuxuan, her own brother, once a leading figure in the compound and indeed in all of Songshan City, would not have dared do such a thing. So in a sense, Arrow-Brand Guy was mighty fierce: he had taken Qiu Lingshan's phone to shoot something pointless, and instead of exploding and hitting him, she had merely said "No time"—which was already giving Wei Zhao a great deal of face.
Just as Shen Yushu was about to say how mighty Arrow-Brand Guy was, the unexpected happened again. Qiu Lingshan actually agreed to send them—all because of one sentence from Arrow-Brand Guy.
"Arrow-Brand Guy, you're amazing!" Shen Yushu wanted to throw her arms around Wei Zhao and kiss him. Years of pent-up grievance had finally found release. She had thought no man could ever get the better of Qiu Lingshan, yet Arrow-Brand Guy had handled her with ease.
The rumor that had been flying around—that Qiu Lingshan had done *that* for Wei Zhao in the hospital—could it be true? Mm-hmm, the way things looked now, very likely. Otherwise, why would Qiu Lingshan be so obedient?
Ah, brother, it seems you'll just have to give up. And from the look of things, you couldn't handle her anyway—better to yield to Arrow-Brand Guy. Mm-hmm, if Uncle Chu really is looking for a son-in-law, then in the future Sister Yaoyao will be Arrow-Brand Guy's first wife, I'll be his little wife, and Qiu Lingshan can only be a chamber maid...
Qiu Lingshan's belly was puffed with anger—she was nearly turning into a great big frog. Of course she knew what Shen Yushu was gloating about, but there was nothing she could do. Qiu Lingshan dared not offend Wei Zhao too deeply; who could say whether she might need his help with some problem next time? On reflection, she could only swallow it.
"Hey, Tigress, come help move the shark," Wei Zhao ordered Qiu Lingshan offhandedly.
"Ti—Tigress?" Qiu Lingshan thought her ears were playing tricks on her. Someone actually dared call her Tigress?
"Huh?" Shen Yushu was taken aback as well — the nickname "Bro Arrowhead" was a bit much, even by his standards...
Liu Wangli stood off to one side, wanting to laugh but not daring to; inwardly, however, he gave Wei Zhao a thumbs-up. He had no idea what sort of relationship existed between Wei Zhao and Captain Song — the man had not only used her phone to snap a whole pile of baffling photos of sandcastles, he even had the nerve to call her "Tigress."
"Wei Zhao, what did you just call me?" Song Lingshan lunged at Wei Zhao, her fury finally boiling over, wanting nothing more than to teach him a lesson. This guy was going too far! Just because he had a few petty tricks up his sleeve, did he really think she couldn't crack a single case without him?
She was, after all, the fighting champion of the whole police station — how could she let Wei Zhao bully her like this?
"Captain Song, Captain Song, you mustn't do anything rash..." Seeing Song Lingshan about to lay into Wei Zhao, Liu Wangli jumped in alarm. He knew her skills inside and out. Forget ordinary people — even the rigorously trained officers of Songshan Police Station rarely had a match for her.
That, precisely, was why the men under her truly admired Song Lingshan: a woman who yielded to no man. As a captain, if you lacked the means to command your people's respect, how could they ever submit to you?
