Chapter 2591 — Not Smart Enough
The Blossom Guardian · Page 1 of 2
"So, uh... Wei Zhao, old boy, fancy a bit of fun for a change?" Right Coiled Tiger was no fool. Naturally he wasn't about to come right out and say he'd lost the data and wanted another copy—that would almost certainly get him nothing from Wei Zhao—so he tried a different tack.
"Are you sick in the head? I'm busy here. Is this important or not? If not, I'm hanging up!" Wei Zhao said, baffled.
"No—wait, hold on!" Right Coiled Tiger said hurriedly. "Wei Zhao, don't hang up yet. I've got something to say!"
"Then say it," Wei Zhao said.
"Here's the thing, Wei Zhao. Don't you want to give Zhao Qibing a good beating? I hear you and Zhao Qibing are at each other's throats. I can offer you a chance, you know!" Right Coiled Tiger said temptingly.
"No, I don't. If that's all, I'm hanging up." Wei Zhao hung up on the spot.
Damn! This makes no sense! Right Coiled Tiger stared at the phone that had just been hung up on him, hesitated a moment, then dialed again. "Wei Zhao, don't hang up. Just hear me out first!"
"Oh, fine, go ahead." Wei Zhao held the phone while he went on brewing Wang Xinyan's medicine. "It's not like it's costing me anything."
"You give Zhao Qibing a beating—break both his legs, say. I guarantee he won't fight back, and it won't cost you a thing. All you have to do is send me that alchemy data you gave me before, one more time. How about it? Pretty good deal, eh?" Right Coiled Tiger had originally hoped to squeeze something more out of Wei Zhao, but seeing that Wei Zhao wasn't interested, he lowered his demands—just the data would do.
"Break both his legs?" Wei Zhao was briefly taken aback, then laughed. "I wouldn't do it if you paid me, and you want me to give you something on top of that? Are you dreaming? If that's all, I'm hanging up. Goodbye!"
Right Coiled Tiger frowned, utterly puzzled. By any reasonable reckoning, getting Wei Zhao to break Zhao Qibing's legs ought to be tremendous fun. If Wei Zhao had told him to beat the man up for free, he'd have struck without a moment's hesitation—he'd even have paid for the privilege!
Yet Wei Zhao had refused? Said he wouldn't do it even for money? Right Coiled Tiger began to suspect the matter wasn't as simple as he'd imagined, and that trading for the data this way simply wouldn't work. With no other choice, he called Wei Zhao once more.
"Right Coiled Tiger, are you ever going to give it a rest? If you've got money to burn, top up my phone credit!" Wei Zhao said impatiently.
"Sure, I've got money to burn. How much do you want? As long as you send me that data again, I'll top you up!" Right Coiled Tiger said.
"Top me up a million and I'll give you the data!" Wei Zhao hung up immediately.
A million? Right Coiled Tiger clicked his tongue. That was no small sum! Still, for the second young master of the Right family, it truly wasn't much. It was just that spending money this way stung a little—lose a phone, and end up a million out of pocket. Could anyone be that unlucky?
Still, a top-up was a top-up. Right Coiled Tiger wasn't afraid of Wei Zhao naming a price—what he feared was Wei Zhao refusing to name one. As long as a price was named, Right Coiled Tiger would do his utmost to meet it. He had Yellow Hair put a million yuan of phone credit on Wei Zhao's number right away.
Wei Zhao was in the middle of brewing medicine when his phone chimed with a text alert. He assumed Right Coiled Tiger had given up calling and switched to harassing him by text, but when he opened it, he was stunned. The message read: Dear customer, your payment has been received. The amount paid this time is 1,000,000.00 yuan.
What? A million yuan in phone credit? Wei Zhao's eyes went wide as he stared at the number on the screen. Surely the system hadn't sent it by mistake? As he puzzled over it, Right Coiled Tiger's call came through again.
"Right Coiled Tiger, what more do you want?" Wei Zhao asked, exasperated.
