Chapter 416 — The Matter of Wei Zhao
The Blossom Guardian · Page 2 of 2
Zou Ruoming knew a little about Feng Xiaoxiao's humiliation that morning. Zhong Yongliang hadn't told him the details, but clearly Feng Xiaoxiao had come off badly, so Zou Ruoming was quite reluctant to go and face her.
"It's fine, Sister Xiaoxiao didn't mention that business, and you'd better not either. She seems to just want to ask us about Wei Zhao — you'll understand when you get there," Gao Xiaofu said. "Hurry up, don't keep Sister Xiaoxiao waiting!"
"All right, I'm coming!" Zou Ruoming nodded, and he and Gao Xiaofu headed out the school gate together.
Feng Xiaoxiao led them into a café beside the school and cut straight to the point: "You lot, tell me about Wei Zhao. I'm sure you all know by now that I came off worse against Wei Zhao today — and he doesn't look like any ordinary person!"
"This..." Zou Ruoming glanced at Zhong Yongliang and Gao Xiaofu. By any reasonable reckoning, the business with Wei Zhao was nothing short of a humiliation and a nightmare for them; every one of them had been put in his place by Wei Zhao to one degree or another, and dredging it all up now was a little embarrassing.
"What, you don't want to talk about it?" Feng Xiaoxiao frowned.
"N-no, it's not that!" Zhong Yongliang shared a class with Feng Xiaoxiao, and since they saw each other every day, he did not dare provoke her lightly. So he said, "I'll talk, I'll go first! When Wei Zhao first transferred to our school, he tripped me and sent me sprawling face-first in the dirt. I wasn't about to take that lying down, so I wanted revenge... but in the end..."
And so Zhong Yongliang began recounting his feud with Wei Zhao, right up to the day Brother Black Panther came to the school and Wei Zhao simply ground his face underfoot...
"So even the local thugs were no match for him?" Feng Xiaoxiao was somewhat taken aback. She had already guessed that Wei Zhao's skills were far from weak — one could see that much from the way he pushed a cart with a single arm — but she had never imagined he was this formidable! To think he could beat gangsters who carried guns until they were crawling on the ground begging for mercy!
Of course, Zhong Yongliang had not yet mentioned that Brother Black Panther had later advanced to the Yellow Rank. If she were to learn that even a Yellow Rank Brother Black Panther was no match for Wei Zhao, she would doubtless be even more astonished!
"Exactly. Otherwise, why would I put up with so much? Today, when you said that bottle was thrown by him, I wilted on the spot! And I had no choice but to wilt — never mind provoking Wei Zhao, even when I don't provoke him, he takes an instant dislike to me and gives me a kick on a regular basis. It's been driving me up the wall!" Zhong Yongliang said helplessly.
