Chapter 713 — Pig Brain
The Blossom Guardian · Page 2 of 3
Manager Liu felt the name Wei Zhao was somewhat familiar, as if he had heard it somewhere before. But he didn't dare ask too many questions in front of the eldest miss. He quickly issued a diamond card to Wei Zhao, and only after the eldest miss had left did he pick up the phone and report the matter to Uncle Qing.
The moment Wei Zhao's name was mentioned, Uncle Qing's reply nearly gave Manager Liu a heart attack. Wei Zhao was actually the group's second-largest shareholder — the one who had made a single appearance? Supposedly he was Gu Pengzhan's son-in-law? Did a man like that even need a membership card?
Still, thinking about how low-key the eldest miss was, he figured Wei Zhao must be a low-key man as well. Manager Liu felt deeply honored — he had actually gotten to issue a card to the group's second-largest shareholder, and what's more, he himself had been the one to recommend him!

Li Dilei watched helplessly as Wei Zhao, Gu Mengyao, Shen Yushu, and Tang Zhi walked out of the western restaurant. He was beginning to regret letting lust get the better of him. Looking at his men strewn across the ground, alive or dead, he was gripped by a chill of lingering fear.
But he had not forgotten Wei Zhao's words. He grabbed his phone and dialed his cousin's number. His hands and body were still bristling with silver needles — he had no idea what was so special about them. But he didn't dare pull them out either. After all, Wei Zhao had told him: pull them out and you die. He didn't entirely believe it, but remembering Wei Zhao's fierce martial skill, he had no choice but to believe.
The reason was simple. Li Dilei was the leader of these men. Wei Zhao had already beaten his underlings senseless on the ground — how could he possibly spare their leader?
"Hello? Lei Zi? What's up?" Li Cihua was already in a foul mood. The poisoning had failed, and he still hadn't figured out how to deal with Wei Zhao next. Now his cousin was calling, and he had no idea what he wanted.
"Cousin, you have to help me! My turf got smashed up, and I've been stuck full of silver needles — I don't even dare pull them out!" Li Dilei said, his face contorted in misery. His only hope was that Li Cihua would get revenge for him.
"Your turf got smashed? You've been stuck full of silver needles? What do you mean — what exactly happened? Tell me everything." Li Cihua's heart jolted. Things always seemed to go wrong when he was already stressed. This cousin of his usually had no trouble — everyone on the streets knew he was Li Cihua's cousin and gave him face. How had things gone wrong today?
"This is how it happened..." Li Dilei did not dare to conceal anything either, and told Li Cihua the whole story of how he had been moved by lust, sparing no detail. This was not something he could hide even if he wanted to; Li Cihua had people of his own in the Western restaurant too. That scar-faced man was one of Li Cihua's direct subordinates, only sent over to watch the place for him.
"Fuck! You really are a pig-brained idiot, sitting around with nothing to do all day, is that it? Is there a shortage of women anywhere? You go molesting customers, and you are not even afraid of wrecking the business! Do you not know that every month that Western restaurant of yours still has to pay tribute money to the boss?" Li Cihua was furious. His own younger brother really had grown insufferably arrogant! But now that his brother was in trouble, he could not just leave him to it either: "Someone stuck silver needles into your hands and body? Why do you not go to the hospital? What use is it calling me?"
Li Dilei was stunned. That was right. Why was he so obedient? What he ought to do right now was go to the hospital, not call his cousin! His cousin was not a doctor either, and could not cure him of the silver needles in his body!
