Chapter 557 — Getting Revenge for You

Wei Zhao gave a start and quickly reached out to steady Shen Yushu.

"You carry her on your back. She is not as strong as I am," Gu Mengyao said to Wei Zhao.

"Can you manage?" Wei Zhao saw that Gu Mengyao herself could barely stand steady. After all, who could stand firm after a whole day without food and such a fright?

"Mm..." Gu Mengyao nodded. Though she too could hardly stand, she was still stronger than Shen Yushu.

"Heh, we'll go together." Wei Zhao scooped Shen Yushu up in his arms, then said to Gu Mengyao.

"Together?" Gu Mengyao stared at him with wide eyes.

Wei Zhao crouched down, and while holding Shen Yushu, he stretched out his arms. "You get on too."

"You... can you do it?" Gu Mengyao looked at Wei Zhao in disbelief. As a rule, carrying even one person down the mountain was impressive enough, since the trail was hard to walk. And Wei Zhao wanted to carry two. Was that not too incredible?

"If I can kick open a security door, what do you think?" Wei Zhao very much wanted to say that telling a man to his face that he cannot do it was a provocation, and a very dangerous thing, though he knew Gu Mengyao had not meant it that way.

Gu Mengyao was truly exhausted. She hesitated a moment, then thought that since Wei Zhao could even kick open a security door, he really was strong, so she leaned into his arms as well.

Carrying the two young ladies, Wei Zhao walked out of the cave, only then remembering that in his haste he had forgotten to let Gu Pengzhan know they were safe. But with both arms occupied, he clearly could not make a call now.

On the way down the mountain, at the entrance of the resort, he saw Gu Pengzhan and Uncle Qing. The two had just come out of the resort, evidently with nothing to show for it. Looking up, they saw Wei Zhao carrying two people, and were at once shocked and delighted.

"Yao Yao, Xiao Shu!" Gu Pengzhan ran over in a few quick strides, all the composure befitting a chairman gone. At this moment he was only a father worried for his daughter's safety.

"It's nothing. They are probably just too tired and fell asleep." Wei Zhao smiled wryly, not expecting them to fall asleep so quickly. But seeing the smiles on their faces, they were clearly sleeping soundly. And so it was in truth. Knowing they had been rescued, Gu Mengyao and Shen Yushu had shed all their earlier fear and only wanted a good rest.

Uncle Qing wanted to help Wei Zhao by taking one of them, but fearing he would wake Gu Mengyao and Shen Yushu, he could only smile apologetically.

Gu Pengzhan rubbed his hands together in excitement. He had found his daughter, and she seemed to have come to no harm. Otherwise she could hardly be sleeping so peacefully now.

When they reached the car at the foot of the mountain, Wei Zhao had to set the two down. Gu Mengyao and Shen Yushu had already slept for a while, and though still worn out in body and mind, they woke now and rubbed their eyes drowsily.

When Gu Mengyao saw her father, she could not help throwing herself into Gu Pengzhan's arms. "Dad! That bastard Zhong Yongliang locked us up! You have to avenge me..."

"Don't worry, Yao Yao. It's over, it's all over..." Gu Pengzhan sighed with feeling. This was the first time his daughter had suffered such a wrong in all her life.

Gu Mengyao had someone to pour her heart out to, but Shen Yushu had no one. She felt wronged too. Glancing at Gu Mengyao in Gu Pengzhan's arms, she turned to Wei Zhao and threw herself into his embrace.

"Brother Shield, you have to help us get revenge!" Shen Yushu only wanted comfort. She had no other thought in mind, simply holding onto Wei Zhao.

Wei Zhao patted Shen Yushu's shoulder to comfort her. Even without being asked, he would never let Zhong Yongliang go. He only needed a more roundabout method. Since Gu Pengzhan did not want to deepen the conflict, Wei Zhao planned to shift the trouble onto someone else.

Back at the villa, after saying a few words to comfort Gu Mengyao and Shen Yushu, Wei Zhao returned to his room. He still had Zhong Yongliang to deal with.

He cut out a portion of the recording from his voice recorder on the computer, then dialed An Jianwen's number.

Soon An Jianwen picked up. "Little Brother Wei Zhao?"

An Jianwen had never expected Wei Zhao to call him on his own. Although he had given Wei Zhao a sum for investigation expenses, he was not sure Wei Zhao could really dig up news of Gu Mengyao. In An Jianwen's view, Wei Zhao was not someone so easy to handle.

"Brother An, it's me," Wei Zhao said. "Do you have time right now?"

"Right now? What's the matter?" An Jianwen was out drinking with Su Taizao, and had no idea what Wei Zhao meant by calling at this hour.

"Brother An, I have not failed your trust. After untold hardship, I finally dug up something about Gu Mengyao at school. It's about one of her admirers!" Wei Zhao said.

"Oh? About Gu Mengyao? I have time. Where are you? I'll come pick you up right now and we'll talk face to face!" Hearing it was about Gu Mengyao, An Jianwen was instantly interested. Never mind that he had nothing pressing now. Even if he had, he would put it aside first.

"I'm at Gu Mengyao's villa. Come over then. I'll wait for you," Wei Zhao said.

"Good, I'll be there in ten minutes!" An Jianwen said at once.

When Wei Zhao came out of his room again, Gu Mengyao and Shen Yushu had recovered. The two were feasting in the dining room, looking as if they had been starved half to death.

"I'm going out to get revenge for you." Wei Zhao smiled. The two girls looked quite adorable as they were now.

"Great, great!" Shen Yushu's mouth was stuffed full of food. Hearing Wei Zhao's words, she excitedly pumped her fist.

Gu Mengyao said nothing, only glancing at Wei Zhao. "Be careful."

This tenderness from the young lady left Wei Zhao a little unaccustomed. He paused a moment before nodding.

Although Gu Pengzhan did not know what Wei Zhao intended to do, Wei Zhao had already promised him it would not implicate the Gu Group, so he felt at ease.

"Where are you going? Shall Uncle Qing drive you?" Gu Pengzhan asked.

"No need. Someone is picking me up." Wei Zhao smiled.

Wei Zhao's words left everyone in the hall startled. Someone was coming to pick up Wei Zhao?

Wei Zhao smiled and walked out of the villa. An Jianwen's car had already arrived. Seeing Wei Zhao, An Jianwen got out of the car at once and said warmly, "Little Brother Wei Zhao, get in, get in!"

"Heh..." Wei Zhao sneered inwardly, though his face stayed perfectly natural as he nodded and said, "This private detective work is no easy job. I took a great risk this time!"
