Chapter 2356 — Making a Decision
The Blossom Guardian · Page 2 of 2
At least, the hidden Zhao family had no confidence in dealing with Wei Zhao for the moment. Nor did he know what the hidden Yu family was thinking—but in any case, old master Zhao would not be the one to provoke Wei Zhao of his own accord, not unless he held certain victory.
Half an hour later, at the entrance of the Xuanliang Café on the commercial street, Zhao Qibing spotted Han Xiaohu's Mercedes-Benz S600. Zhao Qibing himself drove a different car, a Porsche Cayenne, also newly bought—the previous one had been given to Wei Zhao.
"Young Master Po, sorry to keep you waiting!" On the surface, Zhao Qibing played his part well.
"I only just arrived myself. After you, Young Master Bing," Han Xiaohu said, nodding to him.
The two entered the café, and a waiter came up to greet them. No one here knew these two young masters of the hidden Han and hidden Zhao families, but judging by the Mercedes and the Porsche they drove, they were plainly no ordinary customers—so the waiter dared not be remiss.
"A private room," Han Xiaohu told the waiter.
"Certainly. This way, gentlemen..." The waiter arranged a private room for Han Xiaohu and Zhao Qibing.
Han Xiaohu ordered a few things at random, then handed the menu to Zhao Qibing.
"The same as him will do." Zhao Qibing had not come here for the coffee; what he drank was of no concern to him.
The waiter promptly brought their drinks as ordered. Once the waiter had withdrawn, Han Xiaohu came straight to the point: "Young Master Bing, I've come this time at the leader's bidding. Two matters—one concerning the Xuandan Sect trial, and one concerning Zhao Qilei."
"Zhao Qilei?" Zhao Qibing's gaze sharpened. He had not expected Han Xiaohu to raise this out of the blue—but then he reflected that Zhao Qilei's relationship with Wei Zhao had already been exposed, and that when Wei Zhao questioned him after the car crash, his own panicked expression had probably let Wei Zhao guess something...
"That's right. Does Young Master Bing know where he is now? I wanted to look him up for old times' sake, but I haven't been able to reach him at all," Han Xiaohu said with a nod.
"This... Young Master Po, the matter of Qitan involves some family affairs of ours. Whether I may speak of it is not mine to decide. How about this—I'll step out and call my grandfather to ask, then get back to you?" Zhao Qibing thought it over and said outright.
"That's fine!" Han Xiaohu answered readily.
Zhao Qibing nodded and gave him a grateful smile, then turned and left the private room. Reaching the end of the corridor, he quickly dialed his grandfather's number.
"Qibing, how goes it? Did you see Han Xiaohu? What did he want with you?" Old master Zhao, seeing it was Zhao Qibing calling, picked up at once and asked.
"Grandfather, Han Xiaohu asked me about Zhao Qilei," Zhao Qibing said quickly and directly. "He says he's been looking for Zhao Qilei for old times' sake but can't find him, and he's asking me where Zhao Qilei has gone. How should I answer?"RQ
