Chapter 2676 — Framing Wei Zhao
The Blossom Guardian · Page 2 of 2
"You say it was Wei Zhao who abducted Yu Ning?" the patriarch asked, waving for Yu Qi to take the servant away, and continued questioning Yushan.
"That I am not certain of either. I only vaguely saw that the man seemed to be Wei Zhao—I did not see clearly. I don't know whether it was really him..." Yushan shook his head and said uncertainly.
"Very well. Yu Qi, take Yushan away for now..." The patriarch glanced at Yu Qi and gave him a meaningful look.
Yu Qi had already sensed the patriarch's suspicions about Yushan, and now he naturally understood the patriarch's meaning—to keep Yushan under watch for the time being—so he quickly responded, "Yes!"
Then Yu Qi pushed Yushan out of the hall. Yushan understood as well that his plan had far too many holes. Earlier, Yu Xiaochen, worried about Yu Ning's safety, had not had time to think it through carefully, but the patriarch was different—meticulous in his thinking, he had surely spotted the flaws, which was why he had asked those questions.
Being put under watch now was only natural, and Yushan did not mind. Once Zhao Qibing succeeded, his own goal would be achieved: he would have disgusted Wei Zhao, brought the Rain family down with him, and had his revenge.
After Yu Qi led Yushan away, the patriarch turned to Yu Xiaochen. "Xiaochen, what do you make of it?"
"Yushan's story, though nothing seriously wrong with it, is still worth questioning." Yu Xiaochen pondered a moment before speaking. Only he, the patriarch, and Yu Yi remained in the hall now, so there was no need to be guarded—they could speak their minds freely.
"Quite so. Yu Yi, call Yu Shu now and ask where Wei Zhao is?" the patriarch said with a nod, then turned to Yu Yi.
"Yes! Old Master!" Yu Yi answered, then took out his phone and dialed Shen Yushu's number.
Yushan could never have dreamed that the patriarch had another card to play—that he could learn of Wei Zhao's movements at any time! In truth, though, it would not have mattered even if he had known. Zhao Qibing had already left the Hidden Rain family's search area; so long as Yushan held firm and brought Yu Ning down, the situation would be beyond repair. What did it matter if they learned it was not Wei Zhao's doing?
At that moment, Wei Zhao, Gu Mengyao, Shen Yushu, and Wang Xinyan had just gotten out of school not long ago. The group had finished dinner; Wei Zhao and Wang Xinyan had returned to their room to cultivate, while Gu Mengyao and Shen Yushu were on the living room sofa watching television.
Suddenly, Shen Yushu's phone rang. She picked it up lazily, glanced at the caller ID, and her heart gave a sudden leap! (To be continued.)
