Chapter 3006 — Sister Yaoyao Says I Should Go

"Tomorrow, I'm planning to make a trip back to West Star Mountain Village," Wei Zhao told them all.
"Huh? Wei Zhao, aren't you recovered? Why do you still need to go back to West Star Mountain Village?" Gu Mengyao was slightly taken aback and asked in puzzlement.
"There's nothing much going on lately. Mainly... I'm short on money. After I go back, I want to discuss with the old man whether I can take up my old trade again and earn some quick cash," Wei Zhao said, a little embarrassed.
This was in fact one of Wei Zhao's secondary aims. Lately, though Lai the Fatty had said nothing, Wei Zhao could sense how hard-pressed he was—the family villa at Qianhua Waterside had been sold, and the car he went out in had been swapped for a secondhand commercial vehicle. That was enough to show just how difficult things were for Lai the Fatty.
So Wei Zhao, as the true power behind the scenes at Guan the Doctor Pharmaceuticals, had to do something! Besides, though Yu Xiaoke had not said anything, Wei Zhao could well imagine how hard things were for her orphanage. Taking in orphans was one thing, but most of the orphans she took in had congenital illnesses—if they were not disabled, they were cerebral palsy—and the medical bills were a bottomless pit!
As for the task on Gu Mengyao's side, that had come to a pause for now. Even if Wei Zhao were to hand in the task now, he could not possibly abandon the young lady and Xiaoshu.
But while carrying out this task, he could still take on other assignments on the side—it would not get in the way.
Wei Zhao had also come to see that these Hidden families were terribly snobbish. When he was uninjured, no matter how far away he was—even if he went off for over a month to take part in the Xuandan Sect trials—none of them dared come knocking to make trouble. But the moment he was injured, even if he was inside his own villa, they would still come to bully him at his door.
So even if Wei Zhao went off midway to handle other tasks, as long as he himself was unharmed, these Hidden families would not dare make any rash moves against Gu Mengyao and the others. The last time he went to the Xuandan Sect, Zhao Qibing had been beaten bloody by Shen Yushu and still dared not say a word of protest; only when Wei Zhao was injured did he jump out and start baring his fangs.
"Huh? Short on money?" The young lady was slightly startled, and only then did she recall the matter of Wei Zhao's pharmaceutical company. Earlier, because of Wei Zhao's injury, she had forgotten all about it. Now that she thought about it, Wei Zhao really was short on money!
These underlings actually had no way to help. Though if they gritted their teeth and scraped together everything they had, they might manage a hundred million, for the operation of an entire pharmaceutical company that was a drop in the bucket—it would not make the slightest difference. Wei Zhao had no choice but to find some unconventional path if he wanted to get his hands on a large sum of money quickly!
"Yes. There's no shame in it. The fallout from the Liu family business this time has brought far too much trouble in its wake. Now that my injuries are no longer a problem, the next step is to get my hands on some money," Wei Zhao said.
"Then... how about having Xiaoshu go back with you?" the young lady said after a moment's hesitation.
In truth, she wanted to go herself, but was too embarrassed to say so. Given the young lady's temperament, she naturally pushed it onto Xiaoshu.
"Oh, Arrow-Shield Bro, Sister Yaoyao says Xiaoshu should go with you—and bring Sister Yaoyao along too," Shen Yushu translated. La la la (to be continued)
