Chapter 2439 — Those With Strength and Those Without
The Blossom Guardian · Page 2 of 2
"Oh, if it's so important, then just take it back." Wei Zhao curled his lip indifferently, then, as if by magic, pulled a tablet computer from his clothes and handed it to Han Jingyi beside him. "This tablet is very important to Han Jingyi too. So I took it back for her!"
"Thank you, Brother Wei Zhao!" Han Jingyi was overjoyed. She had never imagined she would get her tablet back! As for her iPhone, she did not care — there was no important data on it, and she did not care about the cost of the phone either. The tablet was the one thing she truly treasured!
"It was nothing." Wei Zhao produced another item — his own wallet — weighed it in his hand, then stuffed it back into his pocket, and eyed Kang Jinglong sidelong. "Tell me, are you the type who goes looking for a beating when there's nothing wrong?"
Originally, the other classmates had thought Wei Zhao's mocking of Kang Jinglong a moment ago somewhat uncalled for. But now, seeing Wei Zhao miraculously recover Han Jingyi's tablet and his own wallet, they were full of admiration. So Wei Zhao had known what he was doing all along — he had been confident he could get the things back!
Seen that way, Kang Jinglong really had been meddling. Had he not appeared, Wei Zhao could have handled it easily; his intervention had only stirred up trouble and nearly made matters more complicated!
As for Wang Xinyan, when she first saw that Wei Zhao had not acted, she felt a faint disappointment and letdown. After all, the one her heart favored was Wei Zhao; even in a hero-saving-the-beauty scene, she would have wanted that hero to be Wei Zhao, not Kang Jinglong!
Moreover, though Wang Xinyan did not like Kang Jinglong, she did not want him beaten like this on her account. Feeling somewhat guilty, she resented Wei Zhao for quarreling with Kang Jinglong at such a moment. But then, seeing Wei Zhao's actions and hearing his words, Wang Xinyan immediately understood that she had misjudged him. It was not that Wei Zhao had refused to act — Kang Jinglong's appearance had ruined Wei Zhao's plan!
Wei Zhao could have solved the problem quietly and without fuss, but Kang Jinglong had insisted on complicating it. And Wei Zhao could hardly explain his plan to Kang Jinglong in front of the robbers — otherwise Han Jingyi's tablet would most likely have been snatched right back!
Wang Xinyan smiled wryly and shook her head. Suddenly she thought of the first time she had met Wei Zhao on the train. Had he not, even then, quietly taken back the money that should have gone to those swindlers and returned it to his own bag? He had even made off with the swindlers' money as well, and Wang Xinyan had never even seen how he did it. She had found it simply unbelievable!
Today, Wei Zhao had probably used the same trick. Thinking of Wei Zhao's skill and comparing it with Kang Jinglong's earlier recklessness, Wang Xinyan felt all the more certain that Kang Jinglong was no good. Set beside Wei Zhao, he fell far, far short!
Youpan Hu had never expected Wei Zhao to pull such a move. He froze on the spot as if struck by lightning, staring at the tablet in Han Jingyi's hands, unable to speak. It was a long while before he came back to his senses, and he nearly cursed aloud!
This plan had not only failed to please the Kang family and Kang Jinglong — it had not even succeeded in snatching Han Jingyi's tablet! This... this... what was going on? Had it all been for nothing? Had the Youpan family's Heaven-rank experts been sent out for nothing? RQ
