Chapter 307 — Gu Pengzhan's Predicament
The Blossom Guardian · Page 2 of 2
"Him?" Gu Pengzhan was startled. "Dad, when you say to bring him in, you don't mean for him and Yaoyao..."
"Heh, he may have a way. Who knows." Old Man Chu did not say it plainly, only smiled meaningfully.
"Dad, I understand." Gu Pengzhan hung up. He did not know why his father wanted him to seek out Wei Zhao, because he truly could not work it out—in a situation like this, what could Wei Zhao possibly do?
Wei Zhao was not a shareholder of the company, held no shares in it, and had no say at all in a board meeting. But since the old man had named him and told him to go, Gu Pengzhan could only hold on to the hope of giving it a try.
Gu Pengzhan truly had never imagined that he, a business titan who commanded the winds and clouds, would be schemed against by the son of his father's old friend. Had he really been too merciful before? Perhaps his father was right—if, when the first signs had appeared, he had cut through the knot with a sharp blade without hesitation, then today's troubles might never have arisen!
True, certain shareholders would grumble that he had shown no regard for his elders' feelings, but that was still far better than being reduced to such a helpless dead end as today!
After a moment's hesitation, Gu Pengzhan spoke to Li Fu, who was driving. "Take us to Yaoyao's villa."
"Very good, Mr. Gu." Qing Bo sighed. "Mr. Gu, you shouldn't be too anxious either. Since Old Master Chu says Wei Zhao has a way, then he should indeed have a way."
"Let us hope so," Gu Pengzhan said with a nod.
Wei Zhao parked the car in front of Gu Mengyao's villa, only to see a Bentley turn in right behind him; a closer look showed it was Qing Bo's car.
Wei Zhao got out and did not go into the villa. He waited until Qing Bo's car had parked, and then saw Gu Pengzhan climb out of it. "Xiaoyi?"
Gu Pengzhan had not expected Wei Zhao to have only just returned as well. He glanced at the van Wei Zhao had been driving, somewhat surprised. "Your car?"
"Oh, I helped Qiu Lingshan catch a wanted criminal. That Black Panther fellow." Wei Zhao did not hide it. "The car was Black Panther's. I only got the plates registered through Qiu Lingshan this afternoon."
Gu Pengzhan nodded. He had not expected Wei Zhao to have quietly built up his own connections here in Songshan City. That he could keep this car from Qiu Lingshan's hands clearly showed the two shared no ordinary relationship.
"Xiaoyi, Uncle Chu has something he wants to discuss with you!" Gu Pengzhan did not dwell on the matter of the car, but clapped Wei Zhao on the shoulder and said.
"Oh? All right. Shall we talk inside?" Wei Zhao locked the van's door.
Gu Pengzhan hesitated a moment, then said, "Why don't we get in my car instead?"
Wei Zhao was briefly taken aback, then understood at once. He nodded. "All right."
Wei Zhao guessed that Gu Pengzhan had something he did not want Gu Mengyao to overhear, and so had chosen to speak with him inside the car.
