Chapter 760 — The Grieving Young Lady
The Blossom Guardian · Page 2 of 2
This was different from Bing Shao, An Liwen, and Zhong Yongliang. Bing Shao could die, but Wei Zhao could not kill him in broad daylight before a crowd; and if An Liwen and Zhong Yongliang were killed, the police would certainly take action. That was precisely why Wei Zhao employed different approaches for different people.
After hearing Wei Zhao's words, Uncle Qing suddenly recalled Wei Zhao's strength! Early Mystic Rank! Was Wei Zhao truly at the early Mystic Rank?
So what exactly was Wei Zhao's background? And why had Wei Zhao appeared at the young heiress's side? Where on earth had Mr. Gu found him? A fighter of such caliber, yet every day he trailed after the young heiress like a common attendant — escorting her to school and home again, even joining in her games and foolery?
The more Uncle Qing watched Wei Zhao's retreating figure, the deeper his misgivings grew. Just what sort of man was this?
But Gu Pengzhan said nothing, Wei Zhao said nothing, and Uncle Qing would not press them. He gave a faint sigh and walked toward Gu Mengyao.
Gu Mengyao had spoken in a flash of fury, ordering Wei Zhao to kill Yu Kun — but now that Wei Zhao had actually moved to do it, regret had seized her. She could not let Wei Zhao become a murderer on her account!
So though she was somewhat disappointed that Yu Kun had escaped, she was also somewhat relieved. If Wei Zhao had truly killed Yu Kun, how could the affair ever have been settled?
"Miss Gu, he is one of the Yu family. For now we cannot afford to provoke them..." Uncle Qing had let Wei Zhao release Yu Kun, but he owed the young heiress some explanation.
Uncle Qing understood Gu Mengyao's grief; he knew she wanted Yu Kun dead to avenge General Valiant.
"Mm..." Gu Mengyao's feelings had by now settled back into calm. She held General Valiant close and dried her tears.
"Miss, General Valiant... knowing you are safe and sound now, would surely be glad..." Uncle Qing hardly knew how to comfort her. "But a dog that is dead cannot be brought back..."
"Mm..." Gu Mengyao answered woodenly. Did she not know that a dead dog could not be brought back? General Valiant lay motionless now — plainly dead... It was only that, for the moment, she could not bring herself to accept it.
"Ha, maybe it isn't dead yet? Shall I treat it for you?" Wei Zhao came over with a smile, glanced at General Valiant in the young heiress's arms, and asked with a shrug.
"Not dead?" At Wei Zhao's words Gu Mengyao's eyes lit up at once. She stared at him in disbelief, and asked, her voice trembling with excitement, "Wei Zhao, you're saying it isn't dead? You're not lying to me?"
"Have I ever lied to you?" Wei Zhao took General Valiant from the young heiress's arms — though in doing so he happened to brush against her breast...
Very soft. Not large, but springy and full? It had actually felt rather nice? Wei Zhao savored that fleeting sensation.
Gu Mengyao's face flushed crimson at once. In summer one wore so little, and Gu Mengyao was not the sort to wear those heavily padded things; hers was only a thin layer of undergarment, so how could she not notice Wei Zhao's touch?
"Hmph!" Gu Mengyao glared at Wei Zhao. "Then hurry up and cure it — or else... or else I'll settle accounts with you!"
"And if I cure it, the accounts are settled?" Wei Zhao teased.
"Oh, if you cure it, Sister Yaoyao will let you touch it again?" Shen Yushu had seen from the side how Wei Zhao touched Gu Mengyao's breast just now.
"Xiaoshu!" Gu Mengyao was angry. "What nonsense are you spouting? Why don't you let him touch you?"
"Oh, if you let him, then I'll let him." Shen Yushu thought it over and said.
"Go and play by yourself, I have no time for you." Gu Mengyao pushed Shen Yushu aside, then turned back to look at Wei Zhao, who was just then examining General Valiant's condition. She asked anxiously, "How is it, Wei Zhao?" RH
