Chapter 1834 — The Uninvited Guest at the Villa
The Blossom Guardian · Page 2 of 2
"Ah!" Gu Mengyao could not help crying out. She had overlooked this before, but now, reminded by Chen Yuxuan, she suddenly recalled how, when Wei Zhao had been injured and unconscious once before, several great families had converged on their door as if by prior arrangement. Even now, thinking of it, she felt a lingering dread!
Back then, at the critical moment, Wei Zhao had awakened—but now? Now Wei Zhao absolutely could not wake. If enemies came calling again, there would be no way out but death!
"From what I've learned, at the very least the hidden Pi family behind the Xiao family and the hidden Yu family behind the Yu family will not let matters rest, so you had best leave here as quickly as possible. If both those families send their experts, then even with Brother Yutian and me joined together, we would not be their match!" Qiu Lingshan said.
"Thank you for the warning. We'll pack our things right now!" Gu Mengyao nodded decisively, without a trace of attachment to this vast villa. Since it was no longer theirs, what meaning was there in living here? Once Wei Zhao woke, they could buy an even bigger, better villa!
Gu Mengyao had always had great faith in Wei Zhao—so great that even she did not know where it came from. Could it be simply because of that upright, towering figure of his during the bank robbery?
"Let us help you. Just take the important things, the ones that mean something to you, and leave the furniture and appliances here," Chen Yuxuan said.
"Mm!" Gu Mengyao nodded, and together with Shen Yushu, Chen Yuxuan, and Qiu Lingshan, she set about packing...
An hour later, panting for breath, Gu Mengyao and Shen Yushu dumped several bundles onto the car in the courtyard—everything they had packed, all of it useful. Inside were changes of underclothes and outerwear, plus a laptop holding photographs and other important files; as for the rest of the computer's data, it had all been deleted.
Wei Zhao did not have much, as it happened. In his room there was nothing but a few shabby clothes and the few garments Gu Mengyao had bought for him. She packed these together with some nameless things from Wei Zhao's drawers.
"Finally, we're done..." Gu Mengyao let out a breath of relief, glanced at the things left in the villa that they could not carry, and shook her head slightly. Goodbye, villa! From the moment they set foot out of this villa today, perhaps they would never come back again!
But just as Gu Mengyao and Shen Yushu had lifted Wei Zhao into the car and were about to get in and drive away, the unexpected happened...
An uninvited guest arrived at the villa's gate. Even with the strength of Chen Yuxuan and Qiu Lingshan, they had not noticed how this person had come to be there. He seemed simply to have appeared out of thin air, without the slightest omen!
