Chapter 1909 — Word of the Pangolin
The Blossom Guardian · Page 2 of 2
"All right, where are you? I'll come find you right away!" In Wei Zhao's mind rose the smiling face of the Pangolin—and then it shifted into Ying Ziyu's. Wei Zhao clenched his fists and asked quietly.
Whoever it was, anyone who touched the people around Wei Zhao would not be left to go unharmed; the day of reckoning would always come. That was Wei Zhao's nature.
"I'm over here in Donghai... Oh, that's right, I haven't told you—I've been promoted. A while back I cracked a major case, so I was transferred here to Donghai as deputy bureau chief. The rank's the same, but this is the provincial capital, so the level is half a grade higher," Yang Huaijun said. "Are you still in Songshan? Shall I drive back to pick you up?"
"You've settled in Donghai?" Wei Zhao's expression turned a little odd, but he quickly smiled. "I'm in Donghai right now—Donghai Engineering University. I just got here to register..."
"Ha? No way, you came to Donghai too? That's wonderful! I was a bit glum earlier about not being able to see you often, and now this!" Yang Huaijun said.
"Ha, yeah. Are you at the police station? I don't know the way." Wei Zhao had just arrived in Donghai and was completely in the dark.
"Wait for me at the school gate. I'll come pick you up—fifteen minutes," Yang Huaijun said.
"All right, see you soon." Wei Zhao agreed, then turned to Bai Weituo and the others apologetically. "Sorry, an old friend's come to see me—I'm afraid I can't go shopping with you after all."
"You're kidding, Brother Lin—you've got this much going on here in Donghai?" Bai Weituo sounded a little disappointed. "Male or female?"
"Male, this time it's male!" Wei Zhao broke into a sweat. "If you don't believe me, come out with me and see..."
"We'll walk out together, then—but Brother Lin, we're not keeping tabs on you!" Bai Weituo said quickly.
Wei Zhao smiled helplessly. Of course you're not keeping tabs, he thought. You three are just curious, aren't you?
Still, at the school gate the three of them saw no one particularly remarkable, nor any beauty, so their interest faded. They said goodbye to Wei Zhao and headed off to the nearby bus stop to wait for a bus.
Wei Zhao stood at the school gate, and before long an Audi pulled up and stopped in front of him. Yang Huaijun got out and waved to him. "Chief!"
"Jun... Junzi..." Wei Zhao had meant to call him Brother Jun, but then he remembered that Yang Huaijun had taken to calling him Chief, so he simply used Yang Huaijun's childhood nickname instead.
"Ha, that still sounds good to my ears. Having you, our former Chief, call me Brother Jun—if word got out, people would think I don't know my place!" Yang Huaijun said with a sigh of relief.
"Never mind that—any word on the Pangolin?" Wei Zhao pulled open the door and sat down in the passenger seat. "Not bad, an Audi A6—just a bit of an old model."
