Chapter 371 — Another Slap
The Blossom Guardian · Page 2 of 2
"Hahahaha..." Kang ** burst out laughing. That Wei Zhao would still dare crack a joke like that at a moment like this delighted him immensely! All this time, Kang Jingming had kept him pinned down, but now the man's own people were being trampled flat, and the most marvelous part was that someone had even stepped up to give false testimony!
Zhu Xiaozhang's face turned the color of a pig's liver, and Kang Jingming looked none too pleased either. He had no idea who this Wei Zhao was, that he could make old Sui — the squad leader who had just pocketed the red envelope — flip sides so suddenly!
"You little bastard, what the hell are you? Believe me, I can make sure you never walk out of Bright Moon on the Sea alive!" Zhu Xiaozhang had lost his mind. When had anyone ever insulted and belittled him like this?
The whole point of coming here today had been to humiliate Kang ** and Lan Zhi, and now he had been humiliated by a man they had brought along. If he could not vent this rage, how would he ever show his face in Donghai's high society again?
"Smack!"
Another resounding slap — but this time, no one saw Wei Zhao's hand move! Because this time, it was the right side of Zhu Xiaozhang's face that swelled up, and judging by the shape of the print, he had been struck with a left hand! Yet at that very moment, Wei Zhao's left hand was resting quite properly in Tang Zhi's!
"You... you dare hit me again? Captain Zhong, you saw it this time, didn't you? He hit me! Haul him back right now! This time the witnesses are all here — let's see him try to deny it!" Zhu Xiaozhang raged and clawed at the air. "You all keep an eye on him for me — once the banquet's over, I'll show him what's what!"
But this time, neither Kang Jingming nor Wang Shubin spoke up for Zhu Xiaozhang, and Zhong Dingwei stood frozen where he was, seized by a strange terror! The first slap had indeed been Wei Zhao's doing — but who on earth had delivered this second one?
Wei Zhao's left hand was plainly holding Tang Zhi's. Everyone had seen it with their own eyes, and no one had seen him lift a finger!
"What's wrong with all of you?" Zhu Xiaozhang waited a long while, yet Zhong Dingwei did not move, and Kang Jingming and Wang Shubin said not a word, which made him feel that something was very wrong indeed!
"You really are a dog's leg, all right — with a dog's brains to match." Wei Zhao looked at Zhu Xiaozhang with pity. "You've gone and developed delusions. So many people are standing right here, and not one of them saw me hit you, yet you insist it was me. There's no saving you! My advice: go buy yourself some brain-dead pills. Who knows, after a full course you might even gain a point or two of IQ."
"Hahahahahaha!" Kang ** burst out laughing. Never in his life had he felt so vindicated; watching Zhu Xiaozhang and his lot choke on their own bile filled him with an indescribable delight. Even Xiaofen, whose face had been streaked with tears a moment before, now broke into a smile — she too found it deeply satisfying.
Only Tang Zhi — a flicker of astonishment crossed her beautiful eyes! Though she had not seen Wei Zhao make a move, she had felt it beyond doubt: Wei Zhao, holding her hand, seemed for an instant to have let go... A
