"Oh, oh... I heard you... What was it you said again?" Startled, Qiu Lingshan asked, her words tumbling out in utter confusion.
"..." Weizhao was momentarily speechless. "What is going on in that head of yours? I said I'm planning to take a trip in the next few days, to go find the Fire Spirit Sacred Fruit for Xiaoxiao, and I'm calling to let you know! From now on, if there's a case to crack, don't come looking for me—you won't find me anyway!"
"Ah! You're leaving already..." Qiu Lingshan had not expected Weizhao to depart so soon. Then what was to be done about Chen Yuxuan's affair? At that thought, she cast all caution aside and said outright, "Weizhao, something has happened to Chen Yuxuan!"
"Chen Yuxuan? Something happened? What happened?" Weizhao was taken aback, and asked in puzzlement.
"Chen Yuxuan was beaten half to death by Yu Feng of the Yu family. His meridians are severed through and through. He's lying in the First People's Hospital right now..." Qiu Lingshan said with a bitter smile.
"What! Why didn't you say so earlier!" At her words, Weizhao was so shocked that he pulled the car over to the roadside. "What on earth happened? Why did Yu Feng beat him?"
"This matter... well... it happened because of me..." Here Qiu Lingshan was seized with guilt and self-reproach.
"Because of you? What does it have to do with you?" Weizhao could not see how Qiu Lingshan had gotten tangled up with Yu Feng again.
"The Yu family and the Song family wanted a marriage alliance. Grandfather betrothed me to Yu Feng without ever asking my consent..." Qiu Lingshan had not taken the matter seriously before, assuming Yu Feng would retreat in the face of difficulty; after all, if she refused him outright, then no matter how thick-skinned Yu Feng might be, he would give up in time. But who could have guessed that Chen Yuxuan would thrust himself into the middle of it at precisely this moment! Chen Yuxuan had meant well, and that left Qiu Lingshan truly at a loss.
"Yu Feng—that boy's character is rotten, and his family is on the verge of being wiped out by me. If you don't want to become a widow, don't marry him." At the mention of the Yu family, Weizhao thought of Ying Ziyu, and of the pangolin. Yang Huaijun had already said as much: behind that international drug-trafficking ring lurked the shadow of the secular Yu family. Naturally, Weizhao would not let them off.
Besides, the enmity was already forged. Weizhao held no fear of the Yu family whatsoever. If you don't like the look of me, then send your men to deal with me! Weizhao had originally been wary of that Yu family leader who had entered the Earth Rank, but from the look of things now, the old bastard was a thorough coward.
"Of course I don't want to marry him... I told him so several times, but he would not listen, and kept pestering me..." After hearing Weizhao's earlier words, Qiu Lingshan's heart settled greatly. Since Weizhao had long intended to make trouble for the Yu family, Chen Yuxuan's affair was merely one more pretext to kindle his anger—it would bring him no trouble at all.
"And then Chen Yuxuan saw it, grew jealous, and traded blows with Yu Feng?" Weizhao hazarded.
"Jealous? What jealousy? It was all because of you!" Hearing this, Qiu Lingshan hurried to defend Chen Yuxuan.
"Because of me?" Weizhao did not understand how he had been dragged into it.
"Because... I like you..." Saying this, Qiu Lingshan felt a little embarrassed, but her nature was bold to begin with, so she was not overly flustered. "Chen Yuxuan knows I like you, so he didn't want Yu Feng wasting his time any further—but Yu Feng would not take the advice..."
Qiu Lingshan recounted the situation as it had been, and Weizhao was left momentarily speechless. What a misunderstanding this was—no wonder Yu Feng had struck so viciously! Then again, Chen Yuxuan had done nothing wrong, and Yu Feng was simply too ruthless a man.
