Chapter 2426 — Exposed
The Blossom Guardian · Page 2 of 2
Kang Jinglong had felt something was off the moment Wei Zhao said those baffling words. Then he saw the little delinquent throw herself into Bai Weituo's arms and repeat what she had said to Wei Zhao, and his face turned green on the spot!
Then, hearing Wei Zhao bring Qiu Lingshan up again to take the little delinquent to the station, Kang Jinglong knew the matter had blown up. If the girl got to the station and spilled the business with the blond youth, Wang Xinyan's impression of him would surely take a sharp turn for the worse!
"Oh? Aren't these my classmates Kang Jinglong and You Panhu? Why the hurry to leave? Your dishes haven't even arrived yet, have they? Why not come over and join our table — let's eat together?" Wei Zhao called out directly, stopping Kang Jinglong and You Panhu as they tried to slip away.
Wei Zhao had long since seen through their scheme. He was, after all, a formidable hand at the peak of the mid Earth Rank, and when he noticed Kang Jinglong and You Panhu acting furtively, plainly not as though they were up to any good, he had paid them extra attention.
It looked as though these fellows, seeing their plot exposed, meant to make a strategic retreat.
Earlier, Wang Xinyan had not known Kang Jinglong was here. Now, seeing Kang Jinglong and You Panhu rise to leave, she was rather puzzled...
"Blondie, don't go! Didn't you say there was no danger? Why is there a ** here too?" Seeing the blond youth and the others about to leave — clearly meaning to abandon her — the little delinquent panicked at once. There was no time to worry about much else; she hurriedly cried out for help.
"Who are you? I don't know you!" Hearing the little delinquent call him, the blond youth hurriedly denied it flatly.
"Wasn't it you who came to me and told me to go in and say those things to Wei Zhao?" Seeing the blond youth turn his back on her, the little delinquent grew frantic.
"Don't talk nonsense! When did I ever come to you? Are you sick in the head?" the blond youth snorted. "Brother Kang, Young Master You, pay her no mind. This little wench is off her rocker."
"Sister **, I want to report a crime — it was that blond guy, he's the one who put me up to framing Wei Zhao. Don't arrest me..." The little delinquent was getting desperate and turned straight to Qiu Lingshan. "He's the mastermind. Don't arrest me — arrest him!"
"Hell, is she insane or what?" The blond youth frowned. "Can't even eat a meal without running into a lunatic. Brother Kang, Young Master You, I'm sorry you had to see this!"
Though the blond youth kept insisting he had nothing to do with it, no one present was a fool — least of all Wang Xinyan. She gave Kang Jinglong and the others a resigned look. Kang Jinglong had surely staged this whole scene to strike at Wei Zhao, to make her lose faith in him.
Having worked that out, Wang Xinyan grew all the more wary. How could Kang Jinglong be so devious? If this scheme failed, next time he would likely try some other dirty trick. She did not want to bring harm to Wei Zhao — it seemed the only way was to keep a suitable distance from him.
Kang Jinglong, You Panhu, the blond youth, and the purple-haired youth beat a hasty retreat from the restaurant, not daring to exchange another word with Wei Zhao.
