Chapter 1231 — Qiu Lingshan's Little Schemes
The Blossom Guardian · Page 2 of 2
"N-nothing..." Seeing that Wei Zhao was angry, Qiu Lingshan was startled and did not dare say more. She hurriedly led him to Feng Tianlong.
Yet as they walked, she still managed to ask, as if offhandedly, "Wasn't your girlfriend Tang Zhi? How did she become Feng Xiaoxiao?"
"She's my second wife." Wei Zhao had known Qiu Lingshan would ask such things, and he did not hide it — it was no secret. Qiu Lingshan had simply never known because she had never paid attention; a little investigation now and she would have the whole picture.
"Second wife? You've taken another second wife? And Tang Zhi agreed?" Qiu Lingshan found it hard to believe.
"She agreed. Why do you have so many questions? What is it you're really trying to ask?" Wei Zhao glared at her.
"Uh... nothing..." What Qiu Lingshan actually wanted to ask was this: if you're taking a second wife, couldn't you have given your little silly girl of a classmate first consideration? But she could hardly come out and say it now. Feng Xiaoxiao had been kidnapped, after all, and was in real danger — how could Wei Zhao have the heart to talk of love? Ask a question like that, and she would surely get a tongue-lashing.
"Xiaoyi!" Though Feng Tianlong was surrounded by a crowd at the very center, his eyes never stopped roving the surroundings. The instant he saw Wei Zhao and Qiu Lingshan coming, he stepped out of the group and strode over quickly.
The people around Feng Tianlong were all from the Mysterious Investigation Bureau's Songshan City branch. Word had already come in: the Red Conch's deathsworn were in the Qianhua Waterfront compound, Building A-16, on the eighteenth floor. According to the compound's property records, that entire floor of Building A-16 was registered under the name of a foreigner, and for years no one had lived there.
Clearly, Red Conch had bought this apartment long ago, keeping it against a rainy day. Organized criminal gangs like Red Conch always held plenty of cards in their hands; buying a place here was nothing out of the ordinary.
And even if it never came to use, they could sell it later and pocket a handsome profit — the price of housing at Qianhua Waterfront had more than doubled since the project first went on the market, after all.
Now that the investigation was clear, Feng Tianlong had the police take the property management staff around to notify the owners of Building A-16 floor by floor, telling them to leave their apartments for the time being and take shelter — a bomb had been planted in the building and could go off at any moment.
The people living in this building were mostly wealthy; the moment they heard the news, they abandoned their belongings and evacuated without a second word. That saved the property staff and the police a great deal of breath. Most of their money sat in the bank; they treasured their lives more than other people did, and as for the appliances and furniture in their apartments, those could be left behind.
