Chapter 1340 — Shifting the Hatred
The Blossom Guardian · Page 1 of 2
Getting Wu Chengtian to give up his feelings for Sun Jingyi was, truth be told, a little difficult. But now that the decision had been made, he had to let her go. His feelings for Sun Jingyi had never been a mere matter of a marriage alliance struck for the family's benefit — he truly was drawn to her. It was only that she did not care for him.
"Oh? You know my boss? Fine, then — when he's back, I'll ask him for you. Go home and wait for word." Only after Er Goudan had made certain that this Wu Chengtian meant him no harm did he turn to leave.
"Very good, Boss. Then I shall wait at home for good news." Wu Chengtian said hurriedly: "Boss, what's your name? How should I address you from now on?"
"My name is Er Goudan." With that, Er Goudan climbed into the car.
"All right, Brother Goudan, I'll be on my way then." Wu Chengtian said, nodding and scraping and bowing.
The Bentley glided slowly away. As for the scene here, the Xiao family would handle it themselves — Uncle Qing had no need to fret that the police would come knocking at his door.
Wu Chengtian stared at the great hole Er Goudan had smashed into the minivan with Mr. Pi, and clicked his tongue in wonder: "Truly formidable! If I could learn even half of that, I'd be a force to be reckoned with!"
As for what the Xiao family might think of it, Wu Chengtian had already stopped caring. With so formidable a boss watching over him, who gave a damn about the Xiao family or anyone else? The Pi family's experts were dead — what did the Xiao family have left to lean on now?
In truth, Xiao Wangdao and Xiao Wangba really had no time to spare for whatever had become of Wu Chengtian. Two Pi family experts dead, just like that — they had already lost their footing entirely.
These two were incompetents to begin with. Let them strut about and put on airs, and they were perfectly capable; but set them to handling an emergency, and things began to go badly wrong.
With trembling hands, Xiao Wangba pulled out his phone and dialed his father Xiao Ji's number.
"Hello? Wangba? How are things progressing? Running smoothly, I trust?" Xiao Ji was at that very moment sitting snugly in the Xiao family villa, angling for good news.
"They're dead... Dad, they're dead!" Xiao Wangba could scarcely get the words out straight.
"What's dead? Did Wei Zhao and Li Fu die?" Xiao Ji laughed heartily. "Look at you — you've never laid eyes on anything of consequence in your life. So two people died. What's the great matter? If they're dead, they're dead."
"No, Dad — it's the Pi family's experts! The Pi family's experts are dead!" Xiao Wangba said, gasping for breath.
"What? The two Pi family experts are dead?" Xiao Ji was struck dumb, then cried out in disbelief: "Wangba, what are you saying? You're not raving, are you? How could the two Pi family experts be dead? Pi Yangyang is an expert at the peak of the late Profound Rank — how could he die?"
"Dad, they were beaten to death by an expert called Er Goudan or something!" Xiao Wangba had heard Er Goudan speak just now, and that was how he had come by the name. Back when Er Goudan had felled the Pi family's experts with his fists, he had not been present, and so he still had no idea that this Er Goudan was that very great hero.
"What? Named Er Goudan?" Xiao Ji drew in a breath of cold air: "He... how did he show up? Why would he go and beat the Pi family's experts to death?"
"He was sitting right there in Gu Mengyao's car, and he claimed to be Wei Zhao's underling?" Xiao Wangba was rather baffled: "Dad, just who is this Er Goudan? Do you know him?"
"Know him? How could I not know him?" Xiao Ji said: "Back then it was he who put those two Pi family experts in the hospital. How has he become Wei Zhao's underling? My God — it's over. The Xiao family is finished, finished for good this time!"
