Chapter 1562 — What a Coincidence! He Had Sworn Before Wei Zhao to Protect Gu Mengyao and the Other Two, So Naturally He Must Give It His All
The Blossom Guardian · Page 1 of 2
To keep from being late, Wu Chengtian had gone out of his way to print two labels and stick them on the car. They read: "Examinee on board — please show consideration!"
That Wu Chengtian should have such a careful side to him surprised both Gu Mengyao and Tang Zhi. This little brother of Wei Zhao's was not as much of a fool as he looked.
In truth, Wu Chengtian was not much of a fool at all — merely a little arrogant, and that was hardly a flaw. It was a trait common to the sons of great houses, and all the more so in one like Wu Chengtian, young and with a measure of real strength to his name.
But now that he had seen how much more formidable Wei Zhao and Ergoudan were, he understood that there is always a heaven beyond heaven and a man beyond men, and he had reined himself in considerably.
The car ran along Songshan City's main road, steady and even. Wu Chengtian drove well enough; the car wove through the traffic...
"There's still time. No need to rush." Gu Mengyao said to Wu Chengtian.
"Better to hurry. Who knows whether we'll hit a jam later?" Wu Chengtian's task today was to escort the three girls to the examination hall, so he dared not slacken in the slightest.
"True. I keep feeling something is about to happen too. Better to get to the school early." Shen Yushu nodded in agreement.
The moment Shen Yushu finished speaking, Wu Chengtian slammed the brake to the floor, and the car stopped dead in the middle of the road! Right in front of his car a man had suddenly appeared, blocking the way. Afraid of running him down, Wu Chengtian had stopped!
"You jinx, Yushu! What are you saying? We nearly had an accident!" Gu Mengyao grumbled in annoyance.
But she had barely finished complaining when she sensed something was wrong — because the man standing in front of the car was masked!
"Oh my god, this guy... he isn't a fake Arrow Brand Bro, is he?" Shen Yushu's eyes went wide as she stared in shock at the man before the car.
"It seems... he is..." Tang Zhi, seeing the man's build, was startled too. Who would have thought they would meet on such a narrow road!
Wu Chengtian, however, frowned. If this man really was a fake Wei Zhao, then he had certainly come with ill intent!
Sure enough, the next moment the masked man strode over, reached out, and tore the door off Wu Chengtian's Audi S5, then thrust out a hand to seize him!
Wu Chengtian was aghast — he had not expected the man to be so formidable! He prided himself on his Iron Hand Technique, on the strength of his hands, yet this man was no weaker; he had ripped a car door off with one hand!
"Be careful, call the police, quick! I'll go down and deal with him!" Wu Chengtian leapt out of the car, ready to tangle with the newcomer.
"All right!" Gu Mengyao nodded hurriedly, took out her phone, and without hesitation dialed Qiu Lingshan's number. She had meant to call the police directly, but then thought that going through the emergency center would require explanations; better to reach Qiu Lingshan, who was in charge of this case, and spare herself the trouble.
Wu Chengtian got out and shouted at the masked man: "Who are you? Give your name! Skulking behind a mask is no deed of a martial artist!"
But the masked man acted as though he had not heard him at all, ignoring him completely. He strode to the rear door of the Audi S5 and, reaching out, tore that off as well.
Wu Chengtian was badly startled. He raised his hand and struck at the masked man's back, but the man seemed not to feel it, unmoved, still wrecking the rear door. Wu Chengtian's palm landed square on his back with a great bang!
Yet after taking Wu Chengtian's heavy blow, the masked man only swayed twice; it seemed to have done him no real harm. He merely came to himself with a start and swung a palm at Wu Chengtian!
