Wei Zhao also had Feng Tianlong send over the photos of the earlier men in black whose faces had not been destroyed, and once he received them, he handed his phone to Feng Sanmang to look at.
"Don't recognize them..." Feng Sanmang studied the photos for a long while, and at last shook his head. "I don't know any of these men. All unfamiliar faces."
Wei Zhao was not in the least surprised by Feng Sanmang's answer. After all, if these men dared to appear without masks, they clearly had no fear of being recognized or investigated—they were small fry, so this was only to be expected.
"Never mind. We'll wait for Uncle Feng and the others," Wei Zhao said.
Before long, a car with special plates pulled quietly onto the pedestrian street. Quiet as it was, a car appearing on a pedestrian street was still jarring, but there was no help for it—to haul away corpses, they could hardly have men come and carry them off on foot.
The car stopped at the mouth of the alley, and Feng Tianlong stepped out with several men in black. He had been in Donghai City these past few days handling the drug-trafficking case, so he had arrived quickly.
"Uncle Feng!" Wei Zhao went to meet him.
"Xiao Yi, things have been hectic these past few days—we'll have a meal together another time. I'll take these two bodies away first, and I'll notify you the moment there's any news..." Feng Tianlong said this, though in his heart he knew full well that the investigation would likely come to nothing.
It had been so long, and still no family or sect had come forward to claim these bodies—plainly they had no intention of doing so. And from the way the heads had been destroyed, it was clear these men had never wanted anyone to learn their identities.
"Understood, Uncle Feng!" Wei Zhao nodded.
Feng Tianlong swiftly directed two fully armed men to load the two corpses, coated in corpse-dissolving powder, into the car, and then the vehicle drove straight away from the scene.
By now Xu Shilan and Cheng Yiyi had lost all desire to keep shopping. After an incident this grave, both wanted only to hurry back to their rooms and rest.
Xu Shilan meant to return to the hotel, but Wei Zhao would not agree; instead he invited her to spend the night at his villa. After all, he feared something else might happen that night—who could say whether the other side might send more skilled hands to make trouble?
Xu Shilan had not wanted to impose on Wei Zhao further, but Feng Sanmang spoke up: "In that case, we'll have to trouble Brother Lin. For a kindness so great, words of thanks are not enough!"
Hearing Feng Sanmang, Xu Shilan was caught between laughter and tears—she had not even agreed yet, and Feng Sanmang was more anxious than she was, answering for her before she could. There was no way for her to refuse now, so she could only nod and say, "All right. It happens that I've been missing Yaoyao and Xiaoshu too, so I'll go and see them."
Wei Zhao was covered in blood from head to toe, so the four of them made their way back to the parking lot under many astonished stares. No one dared come up and ask questions; Xu Shilan and Cheng Yiyi wore large sunglasses, and Feng Sanmang looked cool and forbidding, so many took the four for underworld figures and no one dared provoke them.
Feng Sanmang drove Wei Zhao and Xu Shilan back to the villa in the Xueshang residential compound, while he himself took Cheng Yiyi back to the Xueshang Hotel.
Gu Mengyao and Shen Yushu opened the door, saw Xu Shilan first, and were at once startled and delighted.
"Shihan, Xiaoshu and I have both missed you!" Gu Mengyao warmly ushered Xu Shilan inside, but when her gaze fell on Wei Zhao, her whole body gave a violent start. "Wei Zhao, what happened to you?"
