Chapter 3407 — A Change of Plans
The Blossom Guardian · Page 2 of 2
Judging by the overland route and distance, this was one of the most likely places for the Pangolin to be.
So this time, if he went to the Yu family again, Wei Zhao planned to look for the Pangolin as well. The hope was slim, but he had to try.
That was why Wei Zhao had agreed without the slightest hesitation.
"Fine—so long as Mr. Lin doesn't mind the long journey, then we'll go!" Yu Dake was worried about his sister and had nothing else on his hands; a trip with Wei Zhao would do no harm.
"Good. We'll split up and meet on the way to the Hakunamata Desert. Setting out from my side and yours, the nearest city should be Chenbei City," Wei Zhao said. "Let's meet at the highway entrance to Chenbei City."
"All right. Then, Mr. Lin, shall I drive the Land Rover from our garage?" Yu Dake asked.
"The Land Rover, of course." Wei Zhao smiled. That Land Rover had been brought back by him and Feng Xiaoxiao together. Back when Feng Xiaoxiao was in a coma, Wei Zhao had feared it would stir painful memories and had not driven it since. Later, once Feng Xiaoxiao was fine, the car no longer called up anything unpleasant—so it hardly mattered now.
"Then we'll meet at the highway entrance!" Yu Dake nodded.
Wei Zhao hung up, then said to Qiu Lingshan, Shen Yushu, and Wang Xinyan, "Lingshan, this time you, Xiaoshu, and Xinyan take Xiaoke back with you. I need to make another trip to the Hakunamata Desert—the answer to Yu Xiaoke's collapse may lie there. That is where the Yu family is."
Qiu Lingshan nodded and said nothing more. After all, Wei Zhao had proper business to attend to. As for Xiaoshu, though she was a little reluctant and wanted to go with Wei Zhao, she knew that if she went, he would only have to look after her—so she agreed as well: "Okay, Shield Bro, we'll take good care of Sister Xiaoke!"
"Mm." Wei Zhao's greatest worry had been that Xiaoshu would insist on coming along, but to his surprise she was so sensible and easy to deal with.
Qiu Lingshan, Shen Yushu, and Wang Xinyan took Yu Xiaoke into a vehicle provided by the Hidden Tang family—the Land Cruiser off-roader. Wei Zhao drove the Grand Cherokee as before.
Wei Zhao did not bring Yu Xiaoke along because, as Yu Dake had said, the recovery had been achieved with the help of a divine physician. Without finding that physician, bringing Yu Xiaoke along would be useless—and besides, whether the man was even still alive was another question entirely.
What mattered most to Wei Zhao was finding the method—or finding that divine physician's successor.
Moreover, this trip to the Hakunamata Desert was not solely for the Yu family; he also had to visit the poison-refining base. Bringing Yu Xiaoke along would only be a burden, awkward to handle when the time came. (To be continued.)
