Chapter 2327 — A Happy Phone Call
The Blossom Guardian · Page 2 of 2
"Good. By the way, I'm calling because I'd like to borrow a Minor Qi-Gathering Pill from you first; I'll return it once I'm back." Wei Zhao was thinking that once he returned, Han Jingyi should be able to mass-produce Minor Qi-Gathering Pills. The ingredients were rather hard to find, but he had extorted some from the hidden You family earlier.
"Sure, but how do I get it to you?" Han Xiaohu agreed without a moment's hesitation.
"I'm at the xx Grand Hotel in Qingrun City. Just send it by Flying Fish Express, the fastest service—it should arrive in a day," Wei Zhao said.
"All right, I'll send it over right away," Han Xiaohu promised.
After the call with Han Xiaohu, Brother Dafeng had still not arrived. The Conch Bar had escaped harm this time, which conveniently provided a reason for Brother Dafeng's lucky escape—otherwise, with even the Third Boss arrested, how could Brother Dafeng, of all people, have avoided capture?
So Brother Dafeng had temporarily returned to the Conch Bar to contact headquarters and clean up the mess.
"Have you called Wu Chengtian and the others?" Wei Zhao asked.
"Not yet. I was just about to get in touch with them when all this happened, and I only just got my phone back, so I haven't had time to call," Sun Jingyan said.
"Then I'll make the call." Wei Zhao nodded. He had only just relaxed; matters here could be considered wrapped up for now.
Wei Zhao called the eldest young lady directly. When Gu Mengyao picked up and saw it was Wei Zhao, she was rather overcome. So much had happened at home these days—joys and sorrows and setbacks—but in the end the outcome was not bad.
As one of the pillars of the household after Wei Zhao's departure, Gu Mengyao had held on day after day, and it had been hard going. On one hand she had to look after Wu Chengtian and Old Master Pi; on the other, she had to tell them, brightly and confidently, that Wei Zhao had said he would be back soon...
But though Gu Mengyao said so, she had no news of Wei Zhao at all. Everyone assumed she had been in contact with him, yet Gu Mengyao herself knew that she had not dared make a single call, for fear of disturbing him.
Still, she had to pretend she knew everything and tell everyone not to worry—that once Wei Zhao returned, all would be well.
So when she saw this number on her phone today, Gu Mengyao's spirits soared. The eldest young lady, who had always kept her feelings in check, was for once visibly excited: "Wei Zhao, are you coming back soon?"
"Yeah, soon—in a day or two." Wei Zhao was taken aback; he had not expected that to be the first thing out of her mouth.
"That's good..." Gu Mengyao breathed a sigh of relief. "It's good that you're coming back soon..."
"What's wrong? Has something happened at home?" Wei Zhao frowned, sharply sensing that something was off.
"After you left, Wang Xinyan was kidnapped... It happened like this..." And Gu Mengyao proceeded to recount in detail everything that had happened at home since Wei Zhao's departure...
