Chapter 2570 — Zhuang the Leader Arrives
The Blossom Guardian · Page 2 of 2
"Sure, no problem!" Zhuang Niaoqiang and Zhuang Niaopao had been worrying about how to find a chance to serve Wei Zhao. Serving Wei Zhao's little sister amounted to the same thing—and when the time came, Wei Zhao would have no choice but to take them in.
Wei Zhao did not interject. Since the Zhuang family intended to expand from Lin City into Songshan City, having Zhuang Niaoqiang and Zhuang Niaopao look after Ying Ziyu and Chen Xi in the future would be a good thing. At least they were far more reliable than Li Cihua. Zou Ruoming might not dare to disobey openly while pretending compliance, but his caliber was simply too low—he could not even handle Chen Xiaoba.
"Mr. Lin, I've brought Chen Xiaoba and Chen Bawang. They're in the car at the gate. What would you have me do?" Leader Zhuang waited until Ying Ziyu and the two Zhuang brothers had finished speaking before asking.
"Oh? You brought them?" Wei Zhao nodded and looked at Old Master Zhuang. "Old Master Zhuang, this Chen Bawang and his son are, after all, members of the Zhuang family. Since they've been brought here, how to deal with them is for Old Master Zhuang to decide."
"Niaoqiang, Niaopao, bury them," Old Master Zhuang said. The very mention of Chen Bawang and his son made him queasy—he had nearly lost his life over them and nearly dragged the entire Hidden Zhuang family down with him! True, the outcome had been good, but that had been pure luck. Had Chen Xi been used as intended, everything would have been finished!
And the cause of it all was Chen Xiaoba's lust for Ying Ziyu's beauty! So even without the business with Chen Xi, if Ying Ziyu had been violated by Chen Xiaoba, Wei Zhao would not have let the Zhuang family—Chen Bawang's backers—off easily.
Thus, the moment Old Master Zhuang spoke, he sentenced these two troublemakers to death. In any case, they were about to expand into Songshan City; they could find new people then. Spokesmen they could cultivate were plentiful—that was one thing they did not lack.
"Yes, Grandfather!" Zhuang Niaoqiang and Zhuang Niaopao answered. But they did not move at once; instead they turned to Wei Zhao. "Leader, what do you think?"
This refusal to obey Old Master Zhuang's orders did not anger him—on the contrary, it delighted him. Clearly his two grandsons were not fools who knew only how to cultivate; they were shrewd enough to know how to curry favor with Wei Zhao!
"Do as Old Master Zhuang says," Wei Zhao said indifferently. "There's a man in Songshan City named Zou Tiandi who's not bad. Train him up a little—he'd make a good spokesman for you."
To Wei Zhao, Zou Tiandi and Zou Ruoming were simply too low in station. He could not take them on as underlings directly—after all, they were not cultivators, and he could not train them. But in light of how diligently and dutifully they had served him, Ying Ziyu, and Chen Xi these past days, clearing away their troubles, Wei Zhao gave them a timely boost.
"Yes!" Only then did Zhuang Niaoqiang and Zhuang Niaopao follow Leader Zhuang outside, preparing to dig a pit and bury the men. As for Old Master Zhuang, hearing Wei Zhao's words, he immediately committed the name Zou Tiandi to memory.
"As for the Hidden Zhao family..." Old Master Zhuang was somewhat worried about how the Hidden Zhao family would react. After all, Songshan City had once been the Hidden Zhao family's territory.
"Tell Li Cihua to get himself back to Donghai City. If he won't go, tell him I said to go," Wei Zhao said indifferently. (To be continued.)
