Chapter 1426 — Two Choices — And Here, Having Someone Like Wu Chengtian Serve as a Bodyguard Was Not Bad Either, So Wei Zhao Took Wu Chengtian In

"Leader Wei Zhao, I'll wait for that day! However much hardship I have to eat or effort I have to spend, I can endure it. Just let me cripple that old man with my own hands and let me play the tough guy for that one moment, and that will be enough!" Wu Chengtian swore through clenched teeth.
"..." Wei Zhao was somewhat speechless at Wu Chengtian's fondness for putting on airs, and said a little testily, "How many more days do you want to wait? Hardship? Endurance? You can afford to wait, but I can't!"
"Huh?" Wu Chengtian was stunned by Wei Zhao's words. "What do you mean?"
"Nothing much. Tomorrow you'll go cripple that old man Zhu, and then come back and stay quietly in the villa, serving as a bodyguard for Gu Mengyao, Shen Yushu, and Tang Zhi!" Wei Zhao said.
"Tomorrow?" Wu Chengtian's mouth fell open. He stared at Wei Zhao in disbelief, wondering whether something had gone wrong with his own ears. He was still lying in a bed today, so how was he supposed to go take revenge tomorrow? Never mind that his injuries had not yet healed; even if they had, his strength was no match for Uncle Zhu.
"Tomorrow," Wei Zhao nodded firmly.
Wu Chengtian was utterly baffled, unable to guess what confidence Wei Zhao had that would let him go seek revenge on Uncle Zhu tomorrow, so he asked doubtfully, "Leader Wei Zhao, my injuries... and my strength is inadequate as well. Don't tell me you mean to hold him down so I can hit him?"
"I'll heal your injuries, and I'll raise your strength." Wei Zhao said, "We'll discuss that in a moment. First let me send Er Goudan back."
"I'm fine. I've held on all these days; half an hour more or less makes no difference," Er Goudan said with an indifferent shake of his head.
"We can't put it off any longer. Have you told Yu Yuanyuan? I'm not quite at ease with you going back alone. How about I see you onto the train and have Yu Yuanyuan accompany you home?" Wei Zhao asked.
"I did tell her about the injury, but as for having her come back with me... I haven't asked. I don't know whether she would come with me." Er Goudan scratched his scalp sheepishly. "Leader, I'm afraid she'll refuse..."
"How do you know she'll refuse if you don't ask?" Wei Zhao spoke from experience. "She'll go back with you."
Back then, Wei Zhao had not been sure Tang Zhi would go back with him either, yet Tang Zhi had chosen to go with him without the slightest hesitation.
"Then... I'll ask her?" Er Goudan hesitated for a moment, then decided to call Yu Yuanyuan.
He had not let Qiu Lingshan spread the news of Chen Yuxuan's injury, and naturally that included keeping it from Wei Zhao as well. For one thing, Chen Yuxuan did not want his sister to know, and telling Wei Zhao would be the same as letting Shen Yushu find out.
The brother and sister were very close, and Chen Yuxuan was afraid Shen Yushu would be heartbroken if she learned of it.
And for another, he did not want Wei Zhao going off to make trouble for the Yu family. Everyone had seen the strength of the Yu family's leader in the ancient tomb. For Wei Zhao to step forward at such a time and challenge the Yu family to avenge him would be unwise. Wei Zhao had more important things to do.
That was why Chen Yuxuan had not let Qiu Lingshan spread the news. Much as Qiu Lingshan wanted to tell Wei Zhao, since the person concerned had said as much, she could only hold it in.
