"I wasn't finished yet. But a wife who doesn't fight to be the first wife is a good wife." Shen Yushu added.
"!@#￥%..." Gu Mengyao rolled her eyes, somewhat speechless.
As the two were talking, Wei Zhao pushed the door open and walked in. He saw Gu Mengyao and Shen Yushu in the living room, but not Gu Pengzhan, so he asked, "Has Uncle Chu already left?"
"No, Daddy is in Uncle Qing's room." Gu Mengyao shook her head. "Wei Zhao, you didn't go to school?"
"Oh?" Wei Zhao was slightly taken aback, not understanding what the young lady was referring to.
Actually, Gu Mengyao had wanted to ask Wei Zhao whether he had gone to see Tang Zhi, but Wei Zhao hadn't caught on, and she couldn't bring herself to say it outright, so she merely said, "It's nothing."
Gu Pengzhan heard the voices from the living room and came out of the room. Seeing Wei Zhao, he quickly said, "Xiaoyi, do you have anything else to attend to right now?"
"No." Wei Zhao shook his head. "By the way, Uncle Chu, I had Zhen Dazhou transfer two hundred fifty million back into your account. But one hundred million of that was borrowed from Liu Tianyi, and needs to be returned to him."
"What? You got the money back that quickly?" Gu Pengzhan couldn't help but stare, his eyes wide.
"Mm, I told him that if he didn't hand over the money, I'd go kidnap his son and then tear down his businesses in Donghai, so he gave it up." Wei Zhao spoke with perfect ease, as though he were describing the most ordinary of matters.
Hearing Wei Zhao's words, Gu Pengzhan was momentarily at a loss for what to say. Money could be extracted that way too? This Zhen Dazhou really was a spineless coward. Where had all that domineering bravado gone, the bravado he'd shown when he kidnapped Yaoyao and demanded money from him? But now Gu Pengzhan had seen through it all. So-called bravado was something a man could only display before those with no strength to resist. Take himself, for instance. When facing those kidnappers, hadn't he too been utterly at a loss, not knowing what to do?
And Zhen Dazhou had probably been threatened by Wei Zhao until he had no temper left. Who could blame him, when the Yu family, the Xiao family, and Zhao Qibing had all served as cautionary tales? However foolish Zhen Dazhou might be, he would not go head-to-head with Wei Zhao at a time like this.
"Arrow Brand Bro, you're amazing! You can get money back just like that? From now on, whenever you don't like the look of someone, you can just scare them a bit and get some money out of them!" Shen Yushu said excitedly.
"Xiaoshu, don't talk nonsense. Extorting people at random is a crime." Gu Mengyao cut her off before she could go on.
"What I mean is, Arrow Brand Bro only goes to extort bad people..." Shen Yushu added.
"When dealing with bad people, it'd be better to just slap them to death like that Yu Bide." Gu Mengyao said.
"Yaoyao, you're even more vicious than I am!" Shen Yushu said in surprise.
"Xiaoyi, since you have nothing else to do, could you take a look at Uncle Qing's injuries?" Gu Pengzhan waved his hand, signaling the two girls to stop pestering Wei Zhao for now, and spoke to Wei Zhao thus.
"Uncle Chu, the reason I hurried back was precisely to examine Uncle Qing's injuries." Wei Zhao said. "Let's go. We'll head over now."
"Mm, all right... shall I have the accountant transfer the money to Liu Tianyi now?" Gu Pengzhan's phone had received a bank notification of the incoming funds, so he asked Wei Zhao.
"Yes, go ahead and transfer it. I'll give Liu Tianyi a call." Wei Zhao nodded.
"All right." Gu Pengzhan answered, then made a call to handle the transfer.
Wei Zhao, meanwhile, dialed Liu Tianyi's number.
The Liu family was in the middle of a family meeting. They had just settled on a strategy when Wei Zhao's call came through. Liu Tianyi hurriedly picked up. "Hello? Divine Doctor Lin, good to hear from you!"
