Chapter 567 — How to Deal with Him
The Blossom Guardian · Page 2 of 2
"Yes! Gu Pengzhan hired him, specifically to guard Gu Mengyao and Shen Yushu in secret!" Zhong Fabai nodded. "Though every grievance has its source, this time we can only point our spears at Gu Pengzhan and Wei Zhao! We can't touch Gu Pengzhan for the moment, but Wei Zhao... he'll do nicely to make an example of!"
"Damn it!" The truth broke over Zhong Yongliang like a revelation, and he nearly leapt off the hospital bed. "I wondered why there was a photo of Wei Zhao on Shen Yushu's phone—so he's Gu Mengyao's bodyguard! Curse it, I never noticed. At school, that kid was always seeming to casually wreck my chances with Gu Mengyao. So he was Gu Mengyao's bodyguard all along! The boy hid it deep, didn't he!"
"Son, Gu Mengyao is not for you! From now on, stop chasing her!" Zhong Fabai sighed. "An Liwen is not someone we can shake right now! We'll aim at Wei Zhao first, and once we've grown strong, we'll think about the rest!"
"Dad, I understand!" At that, Zhong Yongliang finally grasped it: pursuing Gu Mengyao was hopeless for him now—at least until Zhang Nai Pao burst onto the scene. Though it stung to let go, Zhong Yongliang clenched his teeth. "A true man need never fret about finding a wife. Dad, rest easy—I will bide my time, endure until the day the Zhong family rises!"
"Mm, that's the way!" Zhong Fabai nodded, gratified. "This score, we will most certainly settle! But for now, we can only survive under Young Master Bing's protection!"
"By the way, Dad, that Wei Zhao is no weakling—if we want to deal with him..." Zhong Yongliang was still uneasy about Wei Zhao's fighting skill. After all, Wei Zhao had crippled even Brother Black Panther.
"Don't worry about that. To deal with him, we'll borrow Young Master Bing's hand—we won't be the ones sticking our necks out!" Zhong Fabai said. "There's no rush. Right now, what matters is winning Young Master Bing's trust, and for that I need to handle the shantytown demolition well! I'll make Young Master Bing treat me as his right-hand man—only then can we borrow his power!"
"The demolition of the shantytown?" Zhong Yongliang's eyes lit up at once. "Dad, I've got it! I've figured out how to deal with Wei Zhao!"
"Oh? Let's hear it, then." Zhong Fabai had not expected his son to come up with an idea so quickly, though he was also a little worried—surely the boy hadn't cooked up another idiotic scheme? Thank goodness he had spoken to him first; if he had gone off and carried it out on his own, there would likely have been trouble again. "Son, think thrice before you act. Don't be rash!"
"Dad, say no more! I know I've been too impulsive in the past, even a little childish!" Zhong Yongliang shook his head, then said earnestly, "But I've truly learned my lesson from this business, and I've come to understand something! I was too brash before, so I ran into someone I couldn't afford to cross, and I paid the price for it!"
