Chapter 333 — Don't Ever Cross Him
The Blossom Guardian · Page 2 of 2
Xie Guangbo went upstairs and brought down the equity documents he had long since prepared, signed the transfer agreement, and handed it to Wei Zhao.
"I'll leave the villa. You two can keep living here." Wei Zhao glanced at Xie Jinbiao. "All right, I'm off. Carry on with your catching up."
Once out of Xie Guangbo's villa, Wei Zhao found a public telephone and dialed Gu Pengzhan's mobile number.
"Hello? Yes?" Xie Guangbo was on edge, and so was Gu Pengzhan. There had been no word from Wei Zhao for the past two days, and Gu Pengzhan could not even concentrate on his documents. When his phone rang and he saw an unfamiliar number, he did not want to answer — he had far too many troubles weighing on him lately — but after a moment's hesitation, he picked up.
"Uncle Chu? This is Wei Zhao!" At the sound of Wei Zhao's voice over the line, Gu Pengzhan's heart leaped with joy. He had been worrying about Wei Zhao all along; the call set his mind at ease. Whether Xie Jinbiao had been rescued or not no longer much concerned him — so long as Wei Zhao was safe and sound, that was enough.
Still, seeing that the number was from Songshan City, Gu Pengzhan found it odd. A long-distance transfer, perhaps?
"Wei Zhao, where are you? Are you all right?" Gu Pengzhan asked urgently.
"I'm fine. I just got back, and I'm on my way to your company now. Are you at the office?" Wei Zhao asked.
"I'm here. Where are you? I'll have Li Fu drive over to pick you up?" Gu Pengzhan's heart finally settled — Wei Zhao had made it back to Songshan.
"No need. I'll take a cab over," Wei Zhao said.
"All right then, I'll be waiting for you in the office!" Hearing this, Gu Pengzhan did not insist further; after all, Wei Zhao was already back in Songshan City, and there was no danger anymore.
Wei Zhao hailed a cab and headed straight for the Gu Group. At this hour of the day there was no traffic to speak of, so in less than ten minutes Wei Zhao had arrived outside the main gate of the Gu Group.
Wei Zhao had been to the Group several times before, and ever since that last incident the security guards at the gate had remembered him well. Seeing Wei Zhao approach, they immediately greeted him with smiling faces.
Wei Zhao nodded and went straight to Gu Pengzhan's office. He knocked, and the door was opened promptly — Qing Bo was standing inside.
"Mr. Lin, you're here. Mr. Gu is waiting for you inside!" Qing Bo was a little surprised to see Wei Zhao. Though Gu Pengzhan had already told him that Wei Zhao was back, Qing Bo still found it hard to believe — barely two days had passed, there and back, and Wei Zhao had actually brought Xie Jinbiao back? But where was Xie Jinbiao? Could the mission have failed?
With Gu Pengzhan present, however, Qing Bo asked no further questions. It was up to Gu Pengzhan to learn the details.
"Xiao Yi!" Seeing Wei Zhao enter, Gu Pengzhan rose personally to welcome him — a clear sign of how highly he regarded Wei Zhao. "I've been worried all along, but it looks like you're unhurt. That's wonderful."
"Ha... Uncle Chu, didn't I tell you before? It was a small matter." Wei Zhao smiled and shrugged.
"A small matter? Then that means... Xie Guangbo's son..." Gu Pengzhan stared at Wei Zhao in astonishment! He too had assumed the mission had failed — otherwise Wei Zhao could hardly have returned to the country in such a short time — but from Wei Zhao's tone, it seemed otherwise...
