That was why Wei Zhao had asked Yu Kun that one question earlier — and once he received a negative answer, he had struck to kill without hesitation.
"Rest assured, Mr. Gu. With me here, no one will harm Yaoyao or Little Shu," Wei Zhao said to Gu Mengyao.
"Yes, with you here, I have nothing to worry about." Gu Pengzhan patted Wei Zhao's shoulder. "Since everything is settled, I will be on my way. You two should get some rest early as well?"
"Uncle Chu, go on ahead. Everything is fine here..." Wei Zhao rose and saw Qing Bo and Gu Pengzhan out.
In the courtyard, Qing Bo first opened the car door for Gu Pengzhan and helped him in, then glanced at Wei Zhao, seeming to want to say something but hesitating.
"Ha, Qing Bo, I never would have guessed you were an expert at the peak of the late Yellow Stage?" Wei Zhao could tell Qing Bo had something on his mind, so he spoke first.
Wei Zhao's impression of Qing Bo was still quite favorable. Setting everything else aside, having an expert at the peak of the late Yellow Stage deliver meals to the villa every day was no small feat!
"With my meager strength, how could I compare to you?" Qing Bo shook his head with a bitter smile. "That dog..."
"I don't quite know what happened myself. I fed it too much energy... true qi, and it ended up in this state..." Wei Zhao also smiled bitterly at the mention of the Mighty General. It was only natural that Qing Bo could discern the Mighty General's strength.
After all, the Mighty General was not like a human — it had no idea how to conceal its strength. So anyone who practiced martial arts could see the Mighty General's true power at a glance.
"I never thought I would live to see a Yellow Stage dog... Experts of the Yellow Stage are already very rare. If word got out that someone kept a high-rank Yellow Stage dog at home, I wonder whether people would be frightened to death?" Qing Bo shook his head and said to Wei Zhao, "The young miss's safety is in your hands. I will be going now."
"Yes. Goodbye, Qing Bo." Wei Zhao nodded, watched Qing Bo's car drive away, and went back into the villa.
The Mighty General's recovery had delighted Gu Mengyao and Shen Yushu, washing away all their earlier unhappiness. At this moment they were playing happily with the Mighty General in the living room. Seeing Wei Zhao come in, Gu Mengyao very solemnly carried the Mighty General over to him and said to it, "Come, Mighty General, let us thank Wei Zhao together!"
"Ha?" Wei Zhao smiled. "No need to thank me. As long as you are not sad anymore, that is enough."
"Thank you, Wei Zhao." The young miss, however, spoke with utter seriousness. "You have no idea what the Mighty General means to me... It is very important to me! It has been with me all these years, from childhood on..."
"I know. That is why I saved it," Wei Zhao nodded.
Gu Mengyao was slightly taken aback, but on reflection it made sense — she had been so grief-stricken earlier that Wei Zhao must have seen it. "Wei Zhao, you have not rested yet, have you? It is already past three. Hurry and get some rest?"
"Oh, right. You two should sleep early as well?" Wei Zhao was too embarrassed to admit he had already slept, since the young miss and Shen Yushu had been waiting anxiously at the door the whole time.
After returning to his room, Wei Zhao did not sleep. He lay on the bed thinking about the Yu family.
He had thought his life would never again intersect with the Yu family — yet the Yu family had come knocking on his door of their own accord?
Xiao Ning... are you one of them?
Wei Zhao sighed softly, and that peerless face surfaced once more in his mind.
He wondered how she was doing now. Wei Zhao sighed again. How should he face her?
Several hours slipped by in the blink of an eye. Wei Zhao lay in bed, his thoughts wandering, until noise once again came from the living room.
The young miss and Little Shu are awake?
