Chapter 868 — A Fine Plan

"Phew..." The Medicine King finally began to wind down his power. He wiped the sweat from his brow and said, "There, it's cured! But this old man is spent and must regulate his breathing for a while!"
"The Medicine King has worked hard!" Seeing how exhausted the Medicine King was, Zhen Dazhou felt in his heart that the thirty million had been well worth it. The Medicine King had treated Zhen Yingjun many times before, but never had he been so worn out. It seemed his son's illness truly was stubborn.
The Medicine King waved a hand and said nothing, merely sitting there with eyes closed to restore his spirit, while Zhen Yingjun leapt up in excitement: "Dad, it really works, it's really cured!"
"That's good, that's good!" Zhen Dazhou breathed a sigh of relief. "Many thanks to Young Master Bing and the Medicine King!"
"Think nothing of it. I must congratulate your son on restoring his manly vigor!" Zhao Qibing cackled. "Though that thirty million of yours was money wasted!"
"What do you mean by that?" Zhen Dazhou was taken aback; he had not expected Zhao Qibing to say such a thing.
"If Gu Mengyao and that Shen Yushu hadn't stuck their noses in, if Wei Zhao hadn't stepped in for the two of them, would Zhen Yingjun be in such a state? Would you have suffered such a loss?" Zhao Qibing set about goading Zhen Dazhou into making an enemy of Wei Zhao.
"You're right! This time I won't let him off lightly! But I'll be counting on your help, Young Master Bing—help me dig up whatever you can on the Gu Group..." Zhen Dazhou figured that in a city where he knew no one, he would have to rely on the locals to get anything done. Zou Tiandi had clearly been keeping his distance these past few days; Zhen Dazhou had more or less heard about the grudge between Zou Tiandi and Wei Zhao, and secretly laughed at him for being a coward. He simply stopped troubling him and turned to cooperate with Li Cihua instead.
"Hmm... that's no problem." Zhao Qibing nodded with considerable generosity. "We're old acquaintances, after all—a small favor like this I can manage. But how do you plan to deal with Wei Zhao? If it's convenient, tell me and I'll offer a few suggestions? Wei Zhao and I are old rivals too!"
It was precisely because Zhen Dazhou had also heard about the grudge between Zhao Qibing and Wei Zhao that he now dared to lay out his plan against Wei Zhao without the slightest concealment. The enemy of my enemy is my friend—he trusted that Zhao Qibing would not betray him.
"It's like this—I plan to..." Zhen Dazhou laid out his plan for dealing with Wei Zhao for Zhao Qibing to hear...
"Hmm, that's a fine plan—why didn't I think of it before!" The moment Zhao Qibing heard Zhen Dazhou's scheme, he slapped the table in admiration. First, use a Mystic-rank mid-stage expert to abduct Gu Mengyao and Shen Yushu, then lure Wei Zhao to some deserted place and open fire on him with a hail of bullets. If the shooting doesn't kill him, it'll leave him gravely wounded, and then send that Mystic-rank mid-stage expert to finish Wei Zhao off. Brilliant!"
Zhao Qibing had always thought of sending a more formidable expert to settle things with Wei Zhao one-on-one, but he had overlooked one important fact: there is strength in numbers. Could a pack of musketeers fail to wipe out a single Wei Zhao? RO
