Chapter 883 — The Kidnapper Who Changed His Mind
The Blossom Guardian · Page 2 of 2
"No problem. I only want my daughter and Xiaoshu back safe and sound," Gu Pengzhan said solemnly.
"South Mirror Mountain. At the foot of the mountain there are two cars — a Mercedes 600 and a Toyota Previa. Have your people follow the mountain road in front of the two cars on up," Zhen Yingjun said.
"All right, I've got it!" Gu Pengzhan knew South Mirror Mountain. He had not expected the kidnappers to have taken his daughter to such a desolate place. If the police alone were sent to search it, finding them would not be easy.
Zhen Yingjun said nothing more and hung up. Now he had only to wait for Wei Zhao to arrive — and then deal him a fatal blow, leaving him on South Mirror Mountain forever!
The money was in hand, but the score between Zhen Yingjun and Wei Zhao remained unsettled. How much suffering had this man put him through? He would make him repay it a hundredfold, a thousandfold!
"South Mirror Mountain. Xiaoyi, they named you specifically to go bring Yaoyao and Xiaoshu back..." Gu Pengzhan hesitated a moment, then said to Wei Zhao, "I keep feeling there's some scheme behind this. Otherwise, why not simply release Yaoyao and Xiaoshu? Why insist on sending you?"
"Heh, maybe they want to deal with me too." Wei Zhao spoke calmly. "If my judgment isn't off, I already know who's behind this."
"Who?" Gu Pengzhan was startled and asked.
"Zhen Yingjun!" Wei Zhao said. "It can't be anyone from the Yu family. The way things stand, it can only be the Zhen family."
"The Zhen family? The Zhen family of Donghai? Zhen Dazhou? Since when did you cross someone like that?" Gu Pengzhan was taken aback. He himself had no dealings with Zhen Dazhou, much less any grudge.
Wei Zhao briefly recounted to Gu Pengzhan what had happened in the billiard room that day — how Zhen Yingjun had lusted after Gu Mengyao and Shen Yushu, and how Wei Zhao had dealt with him after they left.
Gu Pengzhan shook his head with a bitter smile. He did not blame Wei Zhao, because strictly speaking, this trouble had been stirred up by Shen Yushu and had nothing to do with Wei Zhao.
"Xiaoyi, what you're saying is that beyond wanting money, they also mean to deal with you?" Gu Pengzhan mused for a moment, his expression somewhat grave.
"That would seem to be it. Xiaoshu was the one who asked me to do it, but in the end I was the one who carried it out. Zhen Yingjun may well hate me to the bone. I'd guess that expert is waiting for me up on the mountain!" Wei Zhao shrugged. "That place is far from the city. If something happens there, no one will notice. It's the perfect place for a killing."
"In that case, how could I let you take such a risk?" Now that Gu Pengzhan understood the cause and effect, he could not help shaking his head. He worried for his daughter's safety, but he could not send Wei Zhao to his death either!
