Chapter 165 — Threats and Counter-Threats
The Blossom Guardian · Page 2 of 2
Overestimated him, thinking him too loyal? Or underestimated him, thinking he was merely after Gu Mengyao's beauty?
"In that case, Mr. Lin had better watch himself." Li Cihua knew that saying more now would accomplish nothing; it could no longer change Wei Zhao's mind. This man would never be of use to him.
"I will. But I'd also advise you to watch yourself, Brother Cihua, and not do anything foolish," said Wei Zhao. He turned, pushed open the door, and left Li Cihua's office. He had now more or less established one fact: the ones going after Gu Pengzhan were the people standing behind Li Cihua. As for who those people were, Wei Zhao did not yet know.
As for the bank, it had been arranged through Li Cihua's hired hands. But judging by his current confidence and fearlessness, the police most likely would not be able to obtain substantive evidence to bring him to justice.
In other words, at best they would catch those bank robbers, and the case would end right there.
Wei Zhao was not one to play by the rules, but Li Cihua had not yet crossed his bottom line. Since Gu Pengzhan had not yet made any moves in response, Wei Zhao decided to let Li Cihua off for the time being.
Taking Li Cihua out would be a simple matter. Just as Li Cihua himself had said, if he killed him, no evidence would be left behind.
At the door, Li Yao and Su Jiaonang made no move to stop Wei Zhao, letting him leave as he pleased. Presumably, without Li Cihua's orders, the two of them would not act rashly.
Wei Zhao made his way out of the bar, climbed into Shen Yushu's yellow Beetle, and drove off from Geili Fuyun Bar.
Gu Mengyao's Audi had long since driven away, presumably sent back by Uncle Qing's orders.
"Damn him, he dares to threaten me?" Only after Wei Zhao had left the bar entirely did Li Cihua wave the skull-faced man over. "Zhang Long, you and Li Yao together, take this man out. If he won't be of use to me, keeping him around will only be trouble sooner or later."
"Yes!" Zhang Long was a man of few words; he answered simply and walked out of the room.
This Zhang Long was the top-tier fighter at the peak of the late Yellow Rank that the boss had recently assigned to Li Cihua. He too bore a domineering name - Zhang Long, the same as Zhang Long of the Seven Heroes and Five Gallants.
Though Zhang Long said nothing, he still felt that Wei Zhao alone was beneath him and didn't need Li Yao to come along. But since he was now taking orders from Li Cihua, Zhang Long agreed all the same.
With Zhang Long and Li Yao together, Li Yao naturally assumed the role of driver. It couldn't be helped - who told Zhang Long to be stronger than Li Yao?
Wei Zhao's route home was fixed, so there was no need to search for him; Li Yao simply followed behind Wei Zhao's Beetle.
