Chapter 328 — Her Again?
The Blossom Guardian · Page 2 of 2
If he had been alone, Wei Zhao was absolutely certain he could dodge the bullets behind him and slip away. But now he had a dead weight at his side — he could get out, Xie Jinbiao could not. He had threatened earlier to abandon the man and run for it, but now that the moment had come, he truly could not leave him behind. To dump him here would be to give up Xie Guangbo's shares for good.
"Don't speak. Do as I do." Wei Zhao gave Xie Jinbiao this one instruction, then turned around — and saw a figure in black night-clothes collapsed not far from his feet. That would be the intruder who had been shot, then; he had not expected it to be a woman.
Wei Zhao put on the air of moving in to seize the intruder and walked over to the dark figure's side...
"Hey, brother, get a load of this girl — how's she look?" the leader of the pursuers called out to Wei Zhao, tongue flicking over his lips with a lecherous grin.
Wei Zhao crouched down, then froze dead in his tracks, cursing inwardly. Because the girl lying on the ground was none other than the cool girl he had run into that very day!
"..." Wei Zhao did not know what to say. This girl kept turning up in front of him, kept bringing him trouble every single time — and had even repaid his kindness with ingratitude.
Truth be told, Wei Zhao really wanted to leave her lying there and wash his hands of it. But she was, after all, an Easterner too, and fate had thrown them together twice now — meeting her twice in this distant little blue city was a rare thing indeed.
Wei Zhao was not a man who liked to meddle in other people's business; in fact, he was exactly the sort who stood well clear of anything that did not concern him! But this cool girl counted as someone he knew, and they shared the bond of the same school besides! If he left her here, she would be in dire straits.
One look at the gleam in the pursuers' eyes was enough to tell how much danger the cool girl was in.
"Running into you must be the rotten luck of eight lifetimes!" Wei Zhao drew a deep breath, suddenly reached out and snatched the pistol from the cool girl's hand, then took aim at the leader of the pursuers behind them and fired.
A clean hit square between the brows — no doubt about it; the leader dropped to the ground.
Wei Zhao tucked the cool girl under one arm like a parcel, seized Xie Jinbiao's collar with the other hand, and sprinted for the gate of the repair shop!
In truth, Wei Zhao had merely played a trick of timing, catching the Water Blue Gang pursuers off guard and making them take a silent loss!
Wei Zhao had pretended to be a member of the Water Blue Gang, helping the pursuers to cut off the cool girl, so in the minds of the men chasing from behind, they had naturally taken Wei Zhao for one of their own, and had lost their initial tension. In their eyes, the cool girl's capture was already a settled matter! So when they saw Wei Zhao crouch down, the pursuers naturally lowered their guns — holding them up was pointless now — a reflexive move.
They would never have imagined that Wei Zhao would suddenly explode into violence and turn into their enemy! So Wei Zhao's single shot caught them completely off guard!
