Chapter 3184 — Challenging Wei Zhao
The Blossom Guardian · Page 2 of 2
"Good. If he really is the formidable hero you say he is, then he'll surely accept my challenge. He can't be a turtle hiding in its shell!" Tang Yuqi knew how to goad a man too, and Qiu Lingshan saw right through his little scheme. She only smiled faintly and gave it no further thought.
In truth, Qiu Lingshan herself had not seen Wei Zhao for quite some time, and she missed him. She had heard that Wei Zhao had been busy lately, serving as a close bodyguard to the superstar Xu Shilan, and with the company's new product on the market as well, she had not wanted to disturb him.
Nor had she run into any case too difficult to solve. Ordinary cases Tang Yuqi could handle on his own; there was no need to call Wei Zhao in. So she had no reason to seek him out either.
Now, though, an opportunity had presented itself. Tang Yuqi wanted to challenge Wei Zhao, and Qiu Lingshan could use that challenge as an excuse to invite Wei Zhao out—to see him again! That was precisely why she had agreed to help Tang Yuqi try.
"I'll speak to him," Qiu Lingshan said.
"Good! In that case, I won't pester you any further. I'll take the case file back to read. If you want to stay in the office, go ahead. I'll be off first." Having achieved his aim, Tang Yuqi did not press further; he was quite unconstrained about it.
Qiu Lingshan was a little surprised. She nodded. "I'll stay a while longer."
"All right, see you tomorrow." Tang Yuqi said nothing more, simply took the case file and left the office.
Once Tang Yuqi had gone, Qiu Lingshan sighed and dialed Wei Zhao's number.
"Lingshan?" Wei Zhao was a little surprised when he picked up. Qiu Lingshan had not been in touch for some time. "Don't tell me there's another case you can't crack?"
"No, not that." Hearing his words, Qiu Lingshan suddenly felt a little embarrassed, as though she were utterly useless—every time she sought Wei Zhao out, it was to solve a case! So she hastily said, "It's like this... at our police station, a colleague of mine is pursuing me..."
"A colleague? Pursuing you?" Wei Zhao was slightly taken aback. "You called just to tell me this?"
"I turned him down. I told him I already have someone in my heart, but... he wants to challenge you..." Qiu Lingshan said.
"Pff..." Wei Zhao was caught between laughter and tears. "I'm a cultivator, and a Heaven Rank expert at that. He wants to challenge me?"
"Actually... he's a cultivator too, and a Heaven Rank expert as well..." Qiu Lingshan said with a wry smile.
"What?! Your colleague is a Heaven Rank expert?" Wei Zhao's eyes went wide. "Really? Since when did the Donghai City police station become a den of hidden dragons and crouching tigers?" RS
