Chapter 638 — I Need Your Help
The Blossom Guardian · Page 2 of 2
"Thank you, Eagle." Yang Huaijun breathed a sigh of relief. Wei Zhao did not lightly make promises, but once given, he would certainly strive to keep them.
"Hah, let me hang up first. I need to think about how to go about this." Wei Zhao said nothing more and ended the call.
To find Qiu Lingshan now, the only way in was through An Liwen. It looked as though he really would have to go looking for An Liwen again! Whether the man cut out other people's kidneys had nothing to do with Wei Zhao; even if he knew, he would not go playing the righteous hero.
But now the matter concerned Qiu Lingshan, and Wei Zhao found this An Liwen rather distasteful besides — it was plain the young lady loathed him. So he would put himself out a little, and dispose of the man along the way.
"What is it? Is something wrong?" Tang Zhi had caught the gist of the conversation from beside him, though not too clearly, and asked with some concern.
"Nothing much. A friend has gone missing, and I've been asked to help find her." Wei Zhao said, "Never mind her for now. Let me look at that wound on your head."
"It's almost healed already..." Tang Zhi was a little shy, her gaze evading Wei Zhao's. She lowered her head, not daring to look at him.
"Ha, not bad at all — no scars left behind. It would have been a shame if there were." Wei Zhao was quite pleased with his own medicine.
"And if there had been scars, would you still want me?" Tang Zhi was eager to know the answer.
"Your worry is quite unnecessary. Even if there were, they could be removed," Wei Zhao said.
"Oh..." Tang Zhi was somewhat disappointed; she had not heard the answer she wanted. She did not know why Wei Zhao liked her — whether it was her looks or something else. It was a very unsettling feeling.
But Wei Zhao did not much understand a girl's mind, and did not notice Tang Zhi's disappointment.
"By the way, how is the demolition of the shantytown coming along?" Wei Zhao asked.
"It has been halted for the time being. According to Liu Xinlan, there is no news, and many households are waiting to see how things play out..." Tang Zhi could not help finding it somewhat amusing as she said this. "They all believe the Qibing Building collapsed because of quality problems, so now they will not even trade for new apartments."
"Ha, then leave them be for now." Wei Zhao had little interest in whether Zhao Qibing's demolition went ahead or not, though when the time came he could look the man up and demand a bit of compensation.
"Why don't you go to school together with your employers?" In her heart, Tang Zhi remained very wary of Gu Mengyao and Shen Yushu.
"Someone picks them up and drops them off," Wei Zhao said with a shrug.
"Oh, then how long do you have to keep at this?" Tang Zhi asked.
"I am not sure either. That depends on what my old man wants," Wei Zhao shook his head. "You seem to be quite hostile toward them?"
"I am not!" Tang Zhi refused to admit it.
When they reached the school, Wei Zhao and Tang Zhi parted at the door of the Senior Three, Class Nine classroom. Everyone at the school already knew about the relationship between Lin and Tang, so there was no need for Tang Zhi to avoid it deliberately anymore. Besides, the sudden arrival of Gu Mengyao and Shen Yushu had made Tang Zhi all the more vigilant.
A woman's intuition told Tang Zhi that things were absolutely not as simple as Wei Zhao had said. Although Wei Zhao claimed they were merely his employers, that night their attitude had been nothing like that of one toward a bodyguard, or toward an employee.
