Chapter 2562 — Zhu the Foreman's Plea for Help
The Blossom Guardian · Page 2 of 2
"Chen Xi? What exactly is going on? Zhu the Foreman, have you a death wish? Or do you fancy the hidden Zhuang family a fine big tree to lounge beneath?" Hearing him stammer, Wei Zhao grew irritated and said in a chilling voice, "Do not forget what has become of Old Bi."
"That... all right, I'll talk!" At the thought of Old Bi, Zhu the Foreman shuddered from head to foot. Indeed—what was the hidden Zhuang family worth? Before Wei Zhao it was nothing at all. What sense was there in concealing anything now? That would be idiocy. So Zhu the Foreman hastened to say, "The truth is, Chen Xi's constitution is very special—a special cauldron-and-vessel constitution. And our hidden Zhuang family has been raising her all along as a cauldron. The ones who took her are Zhuang Niaoqiang and Zhuang Niaopao, the two brothers of the hidden Zhuang family. It's very likely they acted precisely because they saw through Chen Xi's constitution!"
"I thought as much. I was wondering where two top-tier early-stage Earth-rank robbers had suddenly sprung from—I was asking myself since when Earth-rank experts had grown so cheap that they were running all over the streets. So it's the hidden Zhuang family!" Wei Zhao said, the truth dawning on him. He did not much understand this cauldron business the foreman spoke of; he roughly knew that a cauldron was something to aid a cultivator's training, but not the specifics. That did not prevent him from deducing cause and effect, however: so the hidden Zhuang family had set its eyes on Chen Xi as a cauldron and made its move...
"Mr. Lin, tell me what to do first! The two cars are getting farther and farther away—which one am I supposed to follow?" Zhu the Foreman asked anxiously. "But from the look of it, the two Zhuang brothers are headed for Lin City. Lin City is the hidden Zhuang family's home ground... the direction they're taking should be the expressway to Lin City... their plate ends in 4321, and the model is a Mercedes-Benz Viano commercial van."
"Oh? Then I've got it. Here's what we'll do: you go after Ying Ziyu, and I'll go after those two Zhuang bastards." Wei Zhao made his decision swiftly. Zhu the Foreman should be more than capable of dealing with whoever had taken Ying Ziyu, but he would be no match for the two Zhuang brothers—even if he chased them down by car, he would not be their opponent, so the chase would be futile. Better that Wei Zhao go himself. "You can rescue Ying Ziyu on your end, can't you? No problem?"
"Absolutely no problem!" Zhu the Foreman answered at once. He had seen Chen Xiaoba—an ordinary man with no strength whatsoever.
"Good, then it's settled. Report to me at any time if anything comes up," Wei Zhao instructed.
"Will do. But the man who took Ying Ziyu—what do you want done with him..." Zhu the Foreman asked cautiously.
"See what they're up to. If he means Ying Ziyu any harm, then act. Just leave one alive for questioning; the rest you can handle as you see fit," Wei Zhao said. In truth, Wei Zhao was curious too—what did these people want with Ying Ziyu?
