Chapter 2267 — Gu Mengyao Arrives
The Blossom Guardian · Page 2 of 2
But that only made things more baffling! If they were not after Wei Zhao, but someone Wang Xinyan or her family had offended, then they ought to be ordinary kidnappers. Yet that was not how it was—even Wu Chengtian had been no match for a single blow, and the Wind-Thunder Purple-Lightning Beast had come off no better. Kidnappers of that caliber did not seem like ordinary people, did they?
Since they were not after Wei Zhao, the matter was all the more headache-inducing—they did not even have a presumed enemy anymore.
"Wu Chengtian, are you all right? Shall I leave Xiaoshu here to look after you?" Gu Mengyao was going to the police station, so she turned to Wu Chengtian.
"I'm fine, not going to die." Wu Chengtian grinned. "Once the boss gets back, these injuries will heal in a second! Besides, I've got Granny Sun to bring me food and water. You two go on, don't worry about me!"
Gu Mengyao nodded, and she and Shen Yushu hurried out of the villa and drove to the Donghai City police station.
Seeing Gu Mengyao and Shen Yushu enter her office, Qiu Lingshan was somewhat surprised. So the eyewitnesses Wang Xuben had mentioned were these two?
"Eh? Sister Song Fox... I mean, what are you doing here?" Shen Yushu had meant to call Qiu Lingshan "Song Fox" and nearly let it slip, but then she remembered how Qiu Lingshan had risked her life to help her and Gu Mengyao get Wei Zhao away, and it no longer seemed right to mock her the way she used to.
Besides, her brother had let go of it now, and Qiu Lingshan had come to like Arrow-Brand Brother instead—all the more reason she had no business saying anything about Qiu Lingshan.
"I've just been transferred here. This is the provincial capital, so you could call it a promotion." Qiu Lingshan said. "Where's Wei Zhao?"
"Wei Zhao went out with Sun Jingyan. There's some business to take care of." Gu Mengyao said. "If Wei Zhao had been home, the kidnappers could never have pulled it off so easily."
Pitiful as Wu Chengtian's state was, Gu Mengyao believed that if Wei Zhao had been home, he would surely have found a way. It was a blind faith, and she herself did not know why, nor when it had begun—this almost obstinate confidence she had in Wei Zhao. Perhaps she had caught it from Xiaoshu.
Wang Xuben and Xiao Qinlin found it rather strange. How did these two girls know Wei Zhao? And it seemed Wang Xinyan knew Wei Zhao as well? Earlier they had suspected Wei Zhao of abducting their daughter, but now it appeared Wei Zhao was not even home.
"Hello, classmate. Forgive me for asking, but at the time, when my daughter was abducted..." Wang Xuben was desperate to know how his daughter was, and the question came out almost before he could help himself.
