Chapter 310 — The Bodyguard Appears
The Blossom Guardian · Page 2 of 2
"Is there money in this safe?" Wei Zhao casually rummaged through the contents, came upon a bankbook, and opened it—only to be disappointed. The bankbook showed a great sum, fully forty million, but it had all been withdrawn a few days ago. "There's only a few yuan left in your account. How are you going to pay me?"
"That..." Only then did Xie Guangbo remember that all his savings had been transferred to his son abroad a few days ago. How could he have money left to give the Wei Zhao standing before him?
"Tsk. Seems you're in urgent need of money. Is that why you agreed to side with Jin Gubang?" Wei Zhao tossed the bankbook aside and went on rummaging through the safe. When he pulled out a stack of documents, he smiled. "Shares in the Gu Group? Good. Now you can transfer them to me."
"No!" Xie Guangbo sat bolt upright, a look of resolve on his face. "That is absolutely out of the question!"
"Oh? Is that so?" Wei Zhao tossed the shares aside. "Your life or the shares—which will it be?"
Just then, however, the door was kicked open and a man burst in. The moment he was through the door he cried, "Mr. Xie, are you all right?"
But no sooner had the words left his mouth than he caught sight of Wei Zhao, and the man tensed at once. He had heard a tremendous crash from Xie Guangbo's room, sensed something amiss, and rushed up—and at the sight of Wei Zhao he was instantly on his guard as though facing a mortal foe.
The man was about thirty-odd, plain of feature, the sort who would easily go unnoticed in a crowd. For such a man to serve as a bodyguard was simply perfect.
At the sight of the man entering, Xie Guangbo let out a breath of relief, a relaxed expression spreading across his face. He knew well the strength of his bodyguard; formidable as Wei Zhao might be, he was no match for this man.
"Ah Huang, finish him!" Xie Guangbo ordered the man who had come in. This was someone who could threaten his life, and Xie Guangbo would not suffer him to remain in this world.
Otherwise, this time he had a bodyguard to protect him, but a bodyguard could not stay at his side twenty-four hours a day. Especially since Wei Zhao had been able to slip into his room without a sound; if there was a first time, there would be a second. Such ghostlike, elusive skill truly frightened Xie Guangbo. If next time Wei Zhao struck without warning him, he would have no escape.
"Who are you?" Yet even as he shouted the question, he had already sprung into the air, swinging a fist straight at Wei Zhao.
"Heh..." Wei Zhao smiled faintly, casually raising his fist and standing rooted where he was, as though waiting to receive the newcomer.
The man was taken aback, not having expected Wei Zhao to try to take his punch head-on. Astonished as he was, he also poured more force into his hand, preparing to kill Wei Zhou with a single blow.
For trespassing into a private residence and threatening its owner, he would bear no responsibility even if he killed the man on the spot. With Xie Guangbo's order, the man called Ah Huang prepared to beat Wei Zhao to death outright.
