Chapter 581 — Wei Zhao's Anger
The Blossom Guardian · Page 2 of 2
For that female assassin Yang Qiqi last time, or for himself, Wei Zhao had been too lazy to use the painkiller, because such small wounds were nothing—the trauma medicine could simply be applied directly. But Tang Zhi was different. She had not undergone professional training, and this kind of pain was hard to endure.
"Huh? It won't be?" Hearing Wei Zhao's words, Tang Zhi was both startled and delighted, and she found it somewhat unbelievable.
"It won't be." Wei Zhao nodded. "This is the first product from my company. It's called trauma medicine, and it has effects similar to Divine Doctor Kang's golden wound medicine!"
Mother Tang had not been entirely convinced that her daughter would escape disfigurement, but hearing Wei Zhao say so, she believed it. The fame of Divine Physician Kang's wound medicine resounded like thunder in the ears, yet it was not a product ordinary folk like them could buy. That miraculous medicine, supplied in such limited quantities, was nearly impossible to obtain even through connections. Word had it that once applied, the wound not only healed swiftly but left no scar at all, which was wondrous beyond belief.
"Heh heh..." The weight on Tang Zhi's heart finally lifted, and she could not help liking Wei Zhao all the more. It was wonderful being his girlfriend; now she would not be disfigured after all...
"If the wound starts to ache, just take a small sip of this painkiller." Wei Zhao handed the painkiller to Mother Tang. "By morning, the bandages can basically come off."
"So soon!" Mother Tang marveled, and her mind began to stir again. "Xiao Yi, your Uncle Tang had both his legs broken too. Do you know of any way to help him recover quickly?"
"Uncle Tang is injured as well?" Wei Zhao was taken aback, and his expression turned grave. Earlier, he had assumed Tang Zhi's injury was an accident, so though it pained him, he had not thought much more about it. But now, hearing from Mother Tang that Tang Jucheng was injured too, suspicion rose in Wei Zhao's mind. Especially since Mother Tang said he had been struck down. Could something more be going on here? "What exactly happened? How did both Tang Zhi and Uncle Tang get hurt?"
"Well... the truth of the matter is this..." Mother Tang had no thought of asking Wei Zhao to stand up for them. After all, in her eyes those people were little better than gangsters, acting without the slightest scruple, and they were not the sort ordinary folk could afford to provoke.
The reason she told Wei Zhao was also because their house had collapsed, and she still hoped he might help them resolve that. Otherwise, where would they live from now on?
Mother Tang recounted the course of events to Wei Zhao. From him, she dared not conceal anything, and she even admitted that out of greed for money she had earlier gone to demand the shopfront. After all, without a cause, how could there have been any of what followed?
Hearing Mother Tang's account, Wei Zhao's face had darkened to something fearsome. Fury had already blazed up in his heart. That these people dared to treat Tang Zhi this way had crossed Wei Zhao's bottom line. At this moment Wei Zhao was utterly enraged, his wrath vast and terrible. Few soldiers, was it? Very well!
"Fat Lai, just who is this Zhao Qibing?" Wei Zhao turned and looked at Fat Lai, asking mildly. His voice was indeed quite calm, yet Fat Lai caught the ruthlessness in Wei Zhao's eyes.
