Chapter 472 — The Gang's Hideout
The Blossom Guardian · Page 2 of 2
It was only then that Kang Xiaofeng noticed Feng Xiaoxiao following behind Wei Zhao. He couldn't help giving Wei Zhao a thumbs-up. How many days had it been, and he'd already won Feng Xiaoxiao over?
Wei Zhao saw right through Kang Xiaofeng's dirty mind and shot him a helpless glare. "My car was too slow, so I drove Feng Xiaoxiao's."
"Oh—" Kang Xiaofeng sounded a little disappointed. He'd assumed Wei Zhao and Feng Xiaoxiao were already together.
"Hold on, both of you. I need to make a call." Wei Zhao gave Kang Xiaofeng and Xiaofen their instructions, then turned and left the basement. He dialed Qiu Lingshan's number.
When Qiu Lingshan saw Wei Zhao's name on the caller ID, she very nearly hung up on the spot. She had troubles enough of her own — and here was Wei Zhao bothering her with trifles!
"Hello! What is it now? I already squared things with the traffic police earlier — haven't the patrol cars been pulled back?" Qiu Lingshan barked furiously. She didn't want to take the call, but she knew better than to offend Wei Zhao too badly. Surely she was allowed to vent a little, though? So she kept shouting: "Do you have any idea how busy I am? I've barely slept for days because of this recent case!"
"Oh. I've found what looks like an organ-trafficking ring's hideout. But since you're busy, never mind — I'll be going." Wei Zhao hung up as soon as he finished speaking.
"What?" Qiu Lingshan was stunned. A suspected organ-trafficking hideout? Wei Zhao had found it? She sprang to her feet without thinking, excitement surging through her. "Wait—"
But Qiu Lingshan discovered that Wei Zhao had already hung up on her. She was so furious her teeth itched, yet her heart was pounding with excitement. If what Wei Zhao said was true, then weren't all the clues that had been plaguing her now answered?
Everyone in the police team stared in bewilderment at Qiu Lingshan, who had suddenly risen to her feet, trembling with excitement. Their eyes asked the question for them, but Qiu Lingshan offered no explanation, saying only, "I'm just stepping back to my office."
With that, Qiu Lingshan hurried back to her office, shut the door, and only then quickly dialed Wei Zhao's number again.
"Heh, I thought you weren't interested," Wei Zhao said with a laugh as he picked up.
"Oh, come on, don't be angry. I just got excited all of a sudden, so my mood turned sour! Good sir, hurry up and tell this brain-dead girl where that hideout is." Qiu Lingshan was herself creeped out by the simpering tone of her own voice, but she had no choice. Wei Zhao responded to sweet talk and not to hard words; if she wanted his help, she would have to swallow her pride.
"Heh, Number 7B Dunmeng Street. You'd best come yourself, and bring a big car," Wei Zhao said, giving her the address.
"All right, wait for me, I'll be right there!" Qiu Lingshan hung up, went downstairs, got in her car, and shot off toward Dunmeng Street. Since Wei Zhao wouldn't let her bring anyone, she had no choice but to go alone.
