Chapter 419 — I've Got a Job for You
The Blossom Guardian · Page 2 of 2
"Let's go along, shall we? We have to cooperate with the investigation — it's our duty..." Tang Zhi was a good girl, and she would never refuse to go to the station and cooperate. "Besides, it's not our fault. It's theirs. Once we're at the station, we can explain everything clearly..."
"Heh... all right." Wei Zhao nodded with a wry smile. Tang Zhi truly was a good girl. In Wei Zhao's mind, Qiu Lingshan could say whatever she liked — he'd simply walk off, and he didn't believe she'd dare come and drag him back.
"Phew..." Qiu Lingshan breathed a sigh of relief inwardly. That last remark had been made in the heat of anger, blurted out with no thought for the consequences, and she'd regretted it the instant it left her lips. When had Wei Zhao ever given her any face? Ordering him about was tantamount to inviting humiliation, wasn't it? If Wei Zhao had turned and walked away, she'd have lost even more face in front of Zou Tiandi and his son. That would have been worse than the "brain-dead girl" remark!
Now Tang Zhi had spoken up, volunteering to go to the station, and Qiu Lingshan, relieved, felt a flicker of gratitude toward Tang Zhi — and at the same time an obscure resentment toward Wei Zhao for his unquestioning obedience to Tang Zhi and his tender protectiveness of her. I'm no worse than Tang Zhi, am I? In looks and in height I'm every bit her equal, and my figure is several times more fiery than hers. This blind Wei Zhao — why is he so crude to me?
The more Qiu Lingshan thought, the angrier she grew. Why was Wei Zhao gentle with Tang Zhi and like this with her? Was she really so repulsive to him? She had to beg his help, and even then only by being his brain-dead girl.
"You follow in your car behind us!" Qiu Lingshan got into the police car and had Wei Zhao and Zou Tiandi and the rest follow behind, and with lights flashing all the way, they drove to the police station.
Zou Tiandi had no idea what the relationship between Wei Zhao and Qiu Lingshan was. Hearing Wei Zhao call her a brain-dead girl, he was instantly delighted. Now this ought to be fun. Wei Zhao would probably get a proper thrashing, wouldn't he?
Still, Zou Tiandi had no intention of letting Wei Zhao off so easily. On the way to the police station, he dialed his younger son, Zou Ruoming.
"Hello, Ruoming, you're at school, aren't you?" Zou Tiandi had always made Zou Ruoming study hard at school and kept him out of brawls and fights. But this time he was truly furious. His elder son, Zou Ruoguang, was far too soft — couldn't even teach a man a lesson! His younger son, though, was a bold and reckless sort, a vicious character. Zou Tiandi had kept telling him to study hard, but he knew exactly what kind of person the boy was.
"Dad, I'm at school, I'm studying..." Zou Ruoming had just finished a meeting with Feng Xiaoxiao, and the call from his father gave him a fright. It wasn't a spot check on him, was it? So he hurried to explain.
"Enough, cut the crap!" Zou Tiandi snapped. "Don't think I don't know what you're like, you little brat! I've got a job for you. Go to your Uncle Yan's villa in the northern suburbs and ask him to come block someone at the police station entrance. I'll send you that person's information in a bit!"
"Huh? You want me to go?" Zou Ruoming was stunned. He hadn't expected his father to give him this task! Wasn't this always handed to his elder brother? And to have him take Uncle Yan along on his very first job — that was just too badass!
Even his elder brother had never gotten that treatment. Uncle Yan was a Yellow-Rank expert! Just thinking about heading out with a Yellow-Rank enforcer at his back made him feel invincible.
