Chapter 423 — What Was He Supposed to Do?
The Blossom Guardian · Page 2 of 2
Yet only Qiu Lingshan's heart was in some turmoil. What exactly was her relationship with Wei Zhao? A cooperative one, or an adversarial one? It really was hard to say...
Zou Tiandi and Zou Ruoguang got back into the car. Zou Tiandi clutched his chest, frightened out of his wits: "Ruoguang, did I see that right? Was that man Uncle Yan?"
"It was Uncle Yan!" Zou Ruoguang nodded. "How did Qiu Lingshan catch him? Wasn't he an early-stage Huang-rank expert?"
"I don't know either. Let me call Ruoming first and ask!" Zou Tiandi was also eager to get to the bottom of what had happened.
"Hello? Ruoming? What did you do? How did Uncle Yan get caught by the criminal police?" Zou Tiandi called Zou Ruoming and, without waiting for him to speak, fired off his questions like a string of firecrackers.
"Dad, something terrible has happened!" Zou Ruoming was badly frightened too. At that moment he was hiding at home, not even daring to go to school: "That kid's name is Wei Zhao. He goes to our school. He's an expert! He knocked Uncle Yan flat with one slap and kicked him unconscious in a few kicks..."
"What! That man is that formidable?" Zou Tiandi was shocked the moment he heard Zou Ruoming's words! What shocked him most was that Zou Ruoming actually knew Wei Zhao!
"He's the terror of our school. Nobody dares to cross him now..." Zou Ruoming's voice was on the verge of tears: "He already had it in for me, and today I brought Uncle Yan to make trouble for him again. You've ruined me completely! Dad, I don't even dare to go to school..."
Zou Tiandi's face turned ashen in an instant. He knew very well how strong Uncle Yan was. What kind of strength would it take to bring Uncle Yan down with ease? How had he gone and provoked such a person?
The mere thought of Zou Tiandi sent a chill of dread through him. If Wei Zhao truly wanted him dead, it would be no harder for him than crushing an ant. And last time he had even fought the man over a hospital room—the very thought of the consequences made his mind reel!
The grimmest face in the room was not Zou Tiandi's but Zou Ruoguang's. He had heard the voice on the phone as well, and the dread in his heart ran even deeper than his father's: "Dad, I told you we could not afford to provoke that man, but you just had to provoke him anyway. Now we are finished... If he wants to crush us, it is like child's play. What are we going to do from now on? Last time you even told me to bring men to teach him a lesson—good thing I did not go, or you would be burning paper money for me right now!"
"Enough, Ruoguang. Do not be afraid. Wei Zhao is formidable, true, but has he actually done anything to us? He kept Uncle Yan behind but let Ruoming go—that shows he cannot be bothered to stoop to people like us. We simply must not cross him again. Find an opportunity to give him a red envelope, and we will host a banquet to apologize. I doubt he will hold a grudge forever." Zou Tiandi was a man of some caliber after all; he had reasoned out a countermeasure on the spot.
"That is all we can do!" Zou Ruoguang nodded. "Last time I was possessed by some madness and even thought of harassing that girl beside him... Just thinking about it now makes my blood run cold!"
"Indeed. This time I have memorized his face well, and even saved a photo on my phone. From now on, whenever we see him, we take a detour. If we cannot avoid him, we act with the utmost deference. As the saying goes, one does not strike a smiling face. If we are sufficiently fawning, a man of his eminence surely will not hold anything against us." Zou Tiandi spoke.
"We can only console ourselves with that!" Zou Ruoguang still wore a bitter, scowling face. Speed, and greater safety!
