Chapter 429 — Turned Into an Idiot
The Blossom Guardian · Page 2 of 2
"What the hell are you blathering about—ga? Hee hee... haha... whoo whoo..." The security captain's gaze suddenly went dull, drool trickled from the corner of his mouth, and he began to laugh like a madman. As he laughed he reached for the thief from before. "Catch the thief, catch the thief, police, catch the thief..."
"Arrow-brand Bro, he really has gone stupid?" Shen Yushu cried out excitedly when she saw the security captain turned into an idiot. "Fun, so much fun! Arrow-brand Bro, turn this one into an idiot too!"
As she spoke, Shen Yushu pointed at the thief.
"Ah... no, please don't..." Having witnessed Wei Zhao's uncanny power, the thief was scared out of his wits. Never in his life had he seen anyone turn a man into an idiot with just a couple of slaps—it was like something out of a legend, a ghost or demon made flesh!
"This kid knows sorcery! Grab him!" The other security guards were badly frightened too. Who had ever seen someone turn another person into a halfwit with a casual flick of the hand?
Still, though someone shouted to seize Lin Tou, not a soul dared step forward—everyone feared becoming Wei Zhao's next target. So far from advancing, they all kept backing away.
"Thump!"
Seeing Wei Zhao coming toward him, the thief dropped to his knees at once: "Brother, boss, ancestor—I was wrong, I shouldn't have stolen the phone, I'll give it back to you right now..."
With that, the thief fished out Gu Mengyao's phone and laid it on the ground before him, then burst into tears, sniveling and sobbing: "I'm just a small-time thug, a nobody. It was Brother Guang who told us to help him steal stuff, to cheat customers..."
Wei Zhao snatched up the phone before the thief's snot and tears could fall on it and handed it back to Gu Mengyao. Then he glanced at the thief and asked, "Brother Guang? What Brother Guang? What the hell does this Brother Guang do?"
"Brother Guang is Ruoguang—Old Dog of the North District. This flower-bird-fish market belongs to his family too..." The thief told all he knew, too afraid of being turned into an idiot to hide anything.
"Oh? Zou Ruoguang?" Wei Zhao was taken aback—Zou Ruoguang again! So he had crossed paths with this family once more. "You call him. Tell him to get over here within ten minutes and give me an explanation, or I'll tear this place down."
"Th-that... all right, I'll call him right now!" The thief was somewhat afraid of Ruoguang, but at this moment he feared Wei Zhao far more. The worst Ruoguang could do was beat him half to death, but Wei Zhao could make him wish he were dead.
Yet just as Lin Tou and the thief were talking, a security guard standing nearby, itching to make his move, suddenly sprang up. Knife in hand, he tried to close in on Gu Mengyao, meaning to take her hostage and force Wei Zhao to leave. Otherwise, with Wei Zhao standing there, he simply felt unsafe—and since Wei Zhao had already turned one man into an idiot, a few more wouldn't make much difference.
But the tragedy was this: his idea was sound enough, yet before he could put it into action, the man had already become an idiot.
