Chapter 942 — Fleeing Together, Because General Valiant Has Leveled Up!
The Blossom Guardian · Page 2 of 2
"Oh? What is Little Yi doing? Could his injuries have flared up?" Gu Pengzhan furrowed his brow. Otherwise, knowing Wei Zhao's temperament, ordinary matters would never be allowed to interfere with his travel plans!
"Yes, I'm a little worried too!" Gu Mengyao nodded, anxiety showing on her face. "General Valiant is very strong, but Wei Zhao is just an ordinary person now. I'm afraid General Valiant might still kick him with the same force as before—and that could leave Wei Zhao seriously injured!"
"Is that so!" Hearing Gu Mengyao's analysis, Gu Pengzhan's expression turned grave as well. If that was the case, then it really was hard to say! Otherwise, why would Wei Zhao suddenly change his mind right before leaving and rush frantically into his room?
"Ah! Then could Arrow-Brand Bro be in danger?" Shen Yushu grew anxious as soon as she heard Gu Mengyao's words.
"Logically, there shouldn't be any danger—otherwise Wei Zhao would surely have told us what to do," Gu Mengyao shook her head. "He only told us not to disturb him. Maybe he can heal himself?"
"Looks like all we can do is wait for him here!" Gu Pengzhan sighed as well. "As it happens, once Xiaoyi wakes up, we can set off together, and it won't be too late."
"Set off together?" Gu Mengyao was slightly taken aback, looking at her father in some confusion.
"That's right. Daddy has already made up his mind—I'm taking you and Xiaoyi back to his hometown to lie low!" Gu Pengzhan said with a smile.
"Go back to his hometown to lie low together?" Gu Mengyao blanked for a moment, then repeated the words strangely: "We're going too? What about your company? You're giving it up? And I won't be going to school either?"
"Yaoyao, Daddy has already made his decision, so there's no point hiding it from you now!" Gu Pengzhan paused there and smiled bitterly. "These past few days have been hard on Daddy too! Xiaoyi was hurt, and once Daddy's enemies learned of it, they all came knocking..."
"Ah!" Gu Mengyao was startled. "They knew about it that quickly? What did they come to you for?"
"The first wave to come looking were the Xiao family of Yanjing... Using the matter of the Xiao family's daughter-in-law, Gou Huli, being insulted by you, they demanded two hundred million in compensation from me, plus the Pengzhan Commercial Building and the Pengzhan Business Hotel..." Gu Pengzhan said with a bitter smile. They were leaving anyway, and he was about to give up the company, so there was no harm in telling Yaoyao.
"Gou Huli... I understand now... Was it because of me?" Hearing her father's words, Gu Mengyao's face was at once overcome with boundless self-reproach. "Daddy, it's all my fault..."
"Heh, it has nothing to do with you! The Xiao family have fallen far among the great clans, but a starved camel is still bigger than a horse. They want to expand into Songshan City, and they were looking for trouble anyway—your affair was merely an excuse. How could Daddy blame you? Besides, Xiaoyi has said that the fault does not lie with us!" Gu Pengzhan smiled and reassured her carelessly.
"Oh, I remember now—it's that woman who wanted to pull out his head, but whose word wasn't worth anything!" Shen Yushu said. "Her family really is awful!"
