Chapter 795 — Wei Zhao Is Here Again
The Blossom Guardian · Page 1 of 2
The agreement he had made with Wei Zhao yesterday had in fact become void the moment the bomb went off. His relationship with Wei Zhao had plunged back to freezing point, so it stood to reason that Wei Zhao would come here to make trouble!
But when Zhong Fabai's thugs actually moved to gang up on Wei Zhao, Li Cihua was instantly terrified. My God, you reckless fools — Wei Zhao is a fighter who put even a Mystic-rank expert in bed to recuperate, and you worthless bunch still dream of giving Wei Zhao trouble?
Isn't that just asking to die? Besides, if Wei Zhao knocked all these men flat, there would be no demolition of the shantytown at all. The thugs meant to intimidate the residents would have been beaten by Wei Zhao — who, then, would be left to intimidate?
"Stop!" Li Cihua had no choice but to shout, and came running over as fast as he could.
But Li Cihua had called out a step too late. One thug, on fairly good terms with the man Wei Zhao had kicked flying earlier, had wanted to avenge him and had already struck first. The result was the same as before: he too was sent flying backward and landed squarely on the first man, then rolled his eyes and lay there, neither alive nor dead.
Li Cihua came running up drenched in sweat and could not help heaving a sigh. "Wei Zhao, what are you doing here? Didn't we agree yesterday that you wouldn't interfere with the shantytown demolition?"
"I'm not interfering. My friend's girlfriend's mother got beaten up — am I not even allowed to hit back?" Wei Zhao did not regard Li Cihua as worth his attention at all and could not be bothered to explain further. "What about the money for my car? You blew up my car — when are you going to pay?"
Zhong Fabai's thugs were all dumbstruck. On one hand, they were in awe of Wei Zhao's skill — before anyone could even see clearly what had happened, two men were already down. On the other, they were puzzled: how dared Wei Zhao speak to Li Cihua in such a manner? Was he not afraid of the power behind Li Cihua?
"Naturally I won't shortchange you on your money." Li Cihua cursed his own bad luck in silence. Of all people these thugs could have beaten, why did it have to be the mother of Wei Zhao's underling's girlfriend? The connection was a roundabout one, but Wei Zhao's intervention was still beyond reproach. "I'll cover the medical expenses!"
"Oh. And the demolition compensation?" Wei Zhao pressed on.
"I'll pay the demolition compensation according to the rules!" Li Cihua said through gritted teeth. This was the condition he had agreed to with Wei Zhao before; now, to buy Wei Zhao's non-interference, he had no choice but to compensate in this way. Otherwise, if Wei Zhao came and stirred things up again, he could forget about demolishing anything at all!
Facing someone of Wei Zhao's bully-king caliber, Li Cihua truly had no temper left at all! Openly he could not be killed, and playing dirty had only gotten his own building blown up. For now, this man was not to be provoked — but could he not even be avoided?
"Oh, all right then. I just came to give you a little reminder." Wei Zhao nodded. To him it was no more than a lift of the hand, but for the residents of the shantytown it was a tremendous benefit!
Compensating according to the standard still would not let them take the money and buy a new apartment outright, but at least it was enough for a mortgage on one! It could at least give them some psychological comfort.
When Xiaofen's parents saw that she was unharmed, their hearts were set at ease at once, and Xiaofen's mother, forgetting the pain on her face, hugged her daughter tenderly. "Child, as long as you're all right, that's what matters. You scared your mother to death..."
"Xiaobo and Wei Zhao saved me..." Xiaofen sighed. "But Kang Jingming — he may have been crushed to death..."
