Chapter 3341 — Nearly Exposed
The Blossom Guardian · Page 2 of 2
"All right, I'll drive!" Yu Dake had the self-awareness of a loyal underling. He owed his very life to Wei Zhao, and serving him diligently seemed only proper. Yu Xiaoke, however, was rather displeased—wasn't her big brother being a little too eager to please? At this rate he might just sell her off!
Yu Dake got into the car. Wei Zhao had intended to sit in the back and talk with Yu Xiaoke about the orphanage—after all, he had sent a sum of money to the orphanage through He Dantou, and there was still a chest of cash in his jade pendant's space, all of which needed to be handed over to Yu Xiaoke. But to his surprise, Yu Xiaoke was not willing. "I'm going to sleep in the back in a bit—you sit up front!"
Yu Xiaoke was not being unreasonable; her main worry was that if Wei Zhao sat in the back, he might get handsy, and how would she deal with that? She could not afford to fall out with him, but she certainly could not just put up with it either. So Yu Xiaoke felt it best to have Wei Zhao sit up front.
Yu Dake started the car and headed toward the Hakkunamata Desert. Wei Zhao could have ridden the Wind-Thunder Purple-Lightning Beast, but that beast could not seat so many people, so driving was more convenient.
Yu Dake was somewhat helpless at Yu Xiaoke's lack of courtesy. "Xiaoke, Mr. Lin wanted to sit in the back to discuss the orphanage with you..."
He was making excuses for Wei Zhao—how could he know that Wei Zhao really had been thinking exactly that? Yu Dake simply wanted to create an opportunity for Wei Zhao.
"Can't we talk like this just as well?" Yu Xiaoke said.
"Ha ha, actually it's nothing much. That sum of money from before—you received it, didn't you? The one wired from abroad," Wei Zhao asked.
"I received it. So it really was you. Thank you," Yu Xiaoke said to herself—so it was Wei Zhao after all. But the more she thought about it, the less happy she felt; after all, she owed Wei Zhao more and more.
"I have another chest of money here—I'll give it to you as well. It was also brought back from abroad," Wei Zhao said, taking the money bag out of his jade pendant's space. Then he added, "By the way, this is also in euros, but that shouldn't be any trouble for you, right? That chest of money I gave you at the market last time was foreign currency too..."
Here Wei Zhao suddenly shut his mouth, for he realized he had slipped up a little about his identity. At the cultivators' market, the identity he had shown Yu Xiaoke was the Male Thief, not Wei Zhao.
"What market—when did you ever give me a chest of foreign currency?" Yu Xiaoke was briefly stunned, looking at Wei Zhao in confusion. But though she was puzzled, she was even more startled by Wei Zhao suddenly producing a large sack of money! Where had this money come from? Wei Zhao had not been carrying any money when he got into the car—had he been keeping it in the passenger seat all along? The car had been parked in the courtyard—wasn't he afraid it would be stolen?
But that did not make sense either. The money bag was so large that even Wei Zhao had trouble holding it in his arms—how could it possibly have been sitting in the passenger seat all this while? RS
