Chapter 402 — The Last of the Four Villains

Still, it was no wonder that Gu Mengyao and Shen Yushu had not attended First High for middle school. At the time, Gu Pengzhan had feared that Mengyao, being young and unable to tell right from wrong, would develop the airs of a spoiled rich girl in his own school, so he had sent her to a public middle school first, and only for high school did she attend First High.
That was why Feng Xiaoxiao had never seen Gu Mengyao or Shen Yushu, let alone Wei Zhao, who had transferred in only recently.
Hearing Feng Xiaoxiao's words, Zou Ruoming and Zhong Yongliang were like oppressed refugees catching sight of dawn. So Feng Xiaoxiao had come to settle accounts with Wei Zhao! That was wonderful. Zifei and the others could do nothing against Wei Zhao, but Feng Xiaoxiao could!
"Is that so, Sister Xiaoxiao? You have a grudge against him?" Zhong Yongliang asked tentatively.
"A grudge?" Feng Xiaoxiao paused a moment. Did she truly have a grudge against Wei Zhao? That earlier clash hardly counted as hatred. She had sought Wei Zhao only because she wanted to race him! After being looked down on by Wei Zhao, she simply bore a trace of indignation. Still, she said, "You could say that..."
At that, Zou Ruoming and Zhong Yongliang beamed with delight. With Feng Xiaoxiao to deal with Wei Zhao, all they had to do was sit on the mountain and watch the tigers fight.
Feng Xiaoxiao locked up her car and swaggered into First High, while Zou Ruoming, Zhong Yongliang, and their whole crowd trailed eagerly behind her.
"Tell me about Wei Zhao. Chasing girls, you say? What girl?" Feng Xiaoxiao asked Zou Ruoming and Zhong Yongliang at her side as she walked.
Feng Xiaoxiao was somewhat puzzled. Wasn't Wei Zhao Gu Mengyao's bodyguard? How was he off chasing girls? Could he and Gu Mengyao have gotten together?
"He's very close to Tang Zhi, our school's commoner beauty. Tang Zhi didn't attend middle school here—she only came for high school," Zhong Yongliang said. "She was Brother Ming's latest target too, but Wei Zhao got there first."
"Oh?" Feng Xiaoxiao was mildly taken aback. She had not expected Wei Zhao to actually come to school to chase girls—and to chase Zou Ruoming's target, no less. She could not help glancing at Zou Ruoming to see what he would say.
"Don't look at me like that... I can't beat him!" Zou Ruoming said bitterly. It was a little self-revealing, but he did not want to hide it—the more he said, the more Wei Zhao's status as the school's overlord would stand out, and the more surely Feng Xiaoxiao would go and deal with him.
"Does anyone else at school know about this?" Feng Xiaoxiao asked.
"There probably isn't a soul who doesn't. He announced it right in front of the dean of academic affairs—that Tang Zhi is his woman... Little Xiaoxiao, this Wei Zhao is even more audacious than you were back in the day!" Zhong Yongliang said. "Director Wang actually didn't dare say a single word!"
"Oh? What's his background?" Feng Xiaoxiao was a little puzzled. Even if Gu Mengyao's father Gu Pengzhan was a shareholder of the school, a bodyguard had no business being that arrogant, did he? Besides, if he was Gu Mengyao's bodyguard, how could Gu Mengyao let him go after another girl? And make it known to everyone? Could it be that the relationship between him and Gu Mengyao was a secret?
"I don't know what his background is. I heard before that he transferred here from some remote village, but now it looks like that's not quite..." Zhong Yongliang shook his head. If he still thought Wei Zhao was some peasant bumpkin at this point, he'd be an idiot.
"I see. So that's how it is," Feng Xiaoxiao nodded. It seemed the plan she had made earlier needed revising. She had intended to act a little flirtatious with Wei Zhao in front of Gu Mengyao to cause him some trouble, but now that trick seemed useless.
