Chapter 2952 — The Injury Is Severe
The Blossom Guardian · Page 2 of 2
"Shield Bro, Yao Yao and I will be going now. You rest quietly and tend your wounds. Once you're better, you can tell us what actually happened today," Shen Yushu said.
"All right..." Wei Zhao nodded.
Shen Yushu took Gu Mengyao's hand and was about to leave, but Gu Mengyao stopped short. "Wait!"
"What is it, Yao Yao?" Shen Yushu blinked.
Gu Mengyao turned and looked at Wei Zhao. "No—Wei Zhao, are you hiding something from us? Your injury... is it very serious?"
The young lady was clever. When Wei Zhao had been hurt before, apart from that one time he asked to resign, he had always recovered quickly afterward. Even if he could not fully recover, at least his broken limbs would mend. But Wei Zhao had been home for quite a while now, and his injuries showed not the slightest sign of improvement—moreover, he had not called General Mighty or the Thunder Pig over. That set Gu Mengyao to doubting!
Wei Zhao's injuries were perhaps far more serious than she had imagined!
"That's right!" Shen Yushu caught on at once as well, knitting her brows. "Shield Bro, what actually happened?"
Seeing the expressions on the young lady's and Xiaoshu's faces, Wei Zhao knew he could hide it no longer. The two of them had already begun to suspect, so he could only tell the truth. "You're right. This time it's far more serious than you'd imagine! For the time being... I'm more or less crippled..."
To these two girls closest to him, Wei Zhao held nothing back, for he knew that even if the Zhao family could deceive and betray him, Gu Mengyao and Shen Yushu never would. So he told them both what had happened that day...
When Gu Mengyao and Shen Yushu heard of Wei Zhao's poisoning, both wore expressions of shock and alarm. A poison that even Wei Zhao could not overcome—what were they to do? And his dantian was shattered besides, so no pill would have any effect. It was as good as being on the road to death!
"Don't worry, you two. Serious as this is, it may not be as bad as it seems. There may still be a way out!" Seeing their silent, sorrowful faces, Wei Zhao smiled and consoled them. "Do me a favor—call Professor Guan Xuewen, and call Teacher Bai, the white-collar chief, and have them come to the villa to think of something! As for these external wounds of mine, with Grandpa Guan's medical skill they'll be no trouble for him. The recovery may be a bit slow, but it should be nothing serious in the end. As for my meridians and dantian, we'll have to trouble Teacher Bai to help think of something. Cracking the poison is all but hopeless—I can't get the food and dishes from Zhao Qibing's hands, so there's no way to analyze it."
"That's right, who'd have thought Zhao Qilei would turn traitor too!" Gu Mengyao complained. "If not for him, you wouldn't have gone to the banquet!"
Zhao Qilei? At Gu Mengyao's reminder, Wei Zhao suddenly thought of Zhao Qilei. Yes—Zhao Qilei might appear to have turned traitor, but in truth he was playing the part of the Infernal Affairs mole. If there was any chance, Zhao Qilei ought to help him get a portion of that food and dishes back!RS
