Chapter 430 — A Few More Turned
The Blossom Guardian · Page 1 of 2
"Oh, a brand-new idiot is born!" Shen Yushu punched the air. "Arrowhead Bro, can you turn a few more? Two is too few, isn't it?"
The other guards and the thieves alike were drenched in sweat just listening. How could this girl be so vicious? She actually enjoyed watching people turned into idiots?
Click, click... The sound of a key turning in the lock came from outside the guard room. With a creak, the door was pushed open, and Xie Fenpian strode in first to clear the way. The moment he laid eyes on Gu Mengyao and Shen Yushu inside, his eyes lit up! Such pretty girls—what a waste! If only Zou Tiandi hadn't come today!
"Hee hee... haha... heh heh... catch the thieves..." The security captain, completely unhinged, lunged at Xie Fenpian as he came through the door, drool still running from the corner of his mouth.
"What are you doing?" Xie Fenpian jumped in fright. "Have you never seen a woman before? Even if these two girls are a bit pretty, you don't have to be lovesick to this degree, do you? Drooling like that—aren't you disgusted with yourself? The boss is here, so straighten up this instant!"
Xie Fenpian was beside himself with fury. The security captain wasn't usually like this—what had gotten into him today? And to make a fool of himself right in front of Zou Tiandi, no less—wasn't that just pouring salt in the wound?
"The boss? Zou Ruoming is here?" Wei Zhao glanced at Xie Fenpian as he entered.
Xie Fenpian clearly had not grasped the situation in the room and had no idea Wei Zhao was already in control. "You know Brother Guang? That won't help you now—the one who came today is Brother Guang's father! If you're smart, pipe down and keep quiet, or else, heh heh..."
Smack!
Before Xie Fenpian could finish, Wei Zhao dealt him a slap that set blood trickling from his ear. He saw stars and crashed to the ground, out cold.
Wei Zhao had truly run out of patience. Did this Zou father and son pair have no idea what death looked like? Why did one fool after another keep delivering themselves to his doorstep?
Hearing the slap and the scream from inside the guard room, Zou Tiandi and Zou Ruoming were struck dumb—and when they heard Wei Zhao's voice, they were even more dumbstruck!
The two of them stood at the door of the guard room, neither daring to go in nor daring to stay out, at a complete loss as to what to do.
But even if they didn't come in, Wei Zhao could still see their silhouettes. He gave a cold laugh. "Zou Tiandi, Zou Ruoming—come in."
Zou Tiandi and Zou Ruoming exchanged a glance, then steeled themselves and walked into the guard room. At that moment they could have killed the security captain with their own hands—of all the people in the world to provoke, why did he have to provoke Wei Zhao?
Only, wasn't Wei Zhao supposed to be with Tang Zhi? Yet what Zou Ruoming saw was Gu Mengyao and Chen Yuhao...
"I say, Zou Tiandi, you're not done opposing me, are you?" Wei Zhao was well aware that today's business probably had nothing to do with Zou Tiandi—if, after losing a Yellow-rank expert, Zou Tiandi still thought he could use these petty guards against him, that would be truly brain-dead.
So it could only be a coincidence. Even so, Wei Zhao was still furious. Why was it that this whole Zou Tiandi family, by some uncanny coincidence, always managed to cross him?
"No... Boss Lin, you've misunderstood..." Zou Tiandi's liver nearly split from fright, and his face went white on the spot. "Boss Lin, this wasn't my idea—I didn't know beforehand... Right, it was that Xie Fenpian, he acted on his own, said he'd caught a few thieves and asked me to come take a look. Isn't that right, Ruoming?"
"Right, right, right!" Zou Ruoming was terrified too, nodding frantically. "We didn't come here to flirt with beautiful women..."
