Chapter 949 — The Dreaded Yu Family
The Blossom Guardian · Page 2 of 2
Knowing full well the power of the Yu family, Wei Zhao had still dared to strike and kill Yu Bide. There were only two possibilities: either he had acted on impulse and lost his senses, or Wei Zhao must have something to rely on! He was not afraid of the Yu family, or rather, the power behind him was not afraid of the Yu family!
Of course, Yu Shuixing leaned toward the latter, because according to Yu Kun, Wei Zhao had intended to kill him, and it was only Li Fu's intercession that made Wei Zhao hold back! One impulsive act was one thing, but repeated impulsiveness? Was that possible?
Moreover, Wei Zhao had endured in silence for so many days, waiting for the Yu family to come and stir up trouble, and only at the final moment had he struck the killing blow. What was that? Killing the chicken to warn the monkey?
"Haitian, tell me the whole course of events in detail! Make absolutely sure not to omit a single detail!" Yu Shuixing drew a deep breath and asked.
"Yes, Second Uncle. What happened was this..." Yu Haitian described in detail everything that had occurred, including the words he and Third Uncle had spoken, Gu Pengzhan's reactions, and so on. Finally, he made sure to relay Wei Zhao's two arrogant conditions as well...
"This Wei Zhao... what audacity! He actually dares to threaten the Yu family!" Hearing the words Wei Zhao had asked Yu Haitian to pass on, Yu Shuixing was instantly furious, smoke all but pouring from his seven orifices, yet deep in his heart he grew all the more suspicious. On what grounds did Wei Zhao dare to say such things?
Considering Gu Pengzhan's reaction, it seemed Gu Pengzhan did not know that Wei Zhao's strength had recovered either... Which meant Gu Pengzhan had perhaps also been deceived by Wei Zhao. To achieve his goal of playing the pig to eat the tiger, this brat had told no one that he had recovered his strength, all for this final eruption!
Terrifying! What a terrifying mind!
Yu Shuixing sighed inwardly. If Wei Zhao truly was as he suspected, then what was his real aim? Was it directed at the Yu family, or the Xiao family, or perhaps Zhao Qibing? Or were all these people merely chess pieces in his eyes, and he had some deeper purpose?
"Yes, Second Uncle—what are we to do now?" Yu Haitian asked cautiously.
"Bring your Third Uncle's body back to Yanjing at once, and pay no mind to anything over there!" Yu Shuixing was afraid now—truly afraid.
For years the Yu family had done as they pleased, and no one had dared refuse them face, let alone strike them dead outright. But Wei Zhao was utterly without scruple: he had left two of the Yu family's core figures one dead and one wounded, and he still wanted shares in the Yu family's holdings—and crueler yet, he wanted two of the Yu family's girls to serve as his concubines!
Was it sheer delusion on his part, or did he truly have the strength to back it up?
However that might be, Yu Shuixing had genuinely begun to regret it. For the sake of a few fragments of a map, they had made an enemy of so terrifying a man—this was no blessing for the Yu family!
Of course, Yu Shuixing could not swallow this insult either; he had marked the grudge well. Once he had sounded out Wei Zhao's background, he would repay it tenfold, a hundredfold!RO
