Chapter 771 — Brother Arrow-Brand Is Too Strong; Zhao Qibing Nearly Choked with Rage at Wei Zhao's Words — You Want to Call the Police? Who Am I Supposed to Call? It's My Tower That Got Blown Up!

But Zhao Qibing truly did not dare let Wei Zhao go to the police. If this matter were ever properly investigated, some flaw or other was bound to surface — after all, the place where Wei Zhao's car had exploded was the parking garage of Qibing Tower, and if anyone started looking into where the bomb had come from, Zhao Qibing was terrified something would slip.

"It's just a beat-up van. Are you really so short of a few bucks?" Zhao Qibing said hatefully.

"Young Master Bing, that's where you're wrong. My car is a very fine one — I paid three hundred thousand for it!" Wei Zhao said, perfectly calm.

Damn! Three hundred thousand?

Zhao Qibing nearly hurled the phone out of his hand! Three hundred thousand — why don't you just go rob a bank? You think you're driving a BMW? Even a BMW in roughly the same shape as that beat-up van of yours isn't worth three hundred thousand!

"Three hundred thousand. I'll pay you back." Zhao Qibing had no patience left to haggle with Wei Zhao. "But mark my words — what happened today is not over between us."

"Heh. Brother Cihua has my account number. Just have him wire the money to me directly." Wei Zhao smiled. "A bank transfer — that won't exceed the limit this time, will it?"

Zhao Qibing was left speechless by Wei Zhao. He hung up outright and slammed the phone to the ground in fury.

"Young Master Bing, this time we really are going to lose everything!" Li Cihua no longer cared whether his own phone had been smashed. Two towers had been built; the first had been funded mainly by Jin Gubang, with Li Cihua only assisting, but this second tower had been paid for entirely out of Li Cihua's own pocket!

With the tower down, Li Cihua's heart was bleeding. All that gleaming silver — his own money — gone, just like that!

"Tomorrow, go tear it all down for me! Tear down the shantytown, tear down the orphanage! Put up the buildings — I want every last bit of my losses back!" Zhao Qibing roared himself hoarse. "Get the demolition project started as fast as you can!"

"Yes, Young Master Bing!" Li Cihua nodded. "But Qibing Tower..."

"We're not rebuilding it! Just rent some office space somewhere for now. Once we've made money off the shantytown and the orphanage, we'll build Qibing Tower again!" Zhao Qibing could no longer afford to care about face. He knew that Qibing Real Estate had taken a devastating blow this time, and if they didn't start turning a profit, they really would go bankrupt!

Zhao Qibing had wanted to accomplish something to show the Zhao family, but now not only had he accomplished nothing — two of his towers had been brought down by someone else. Forget getting into the Zhao family; he would be lucky not to become a laughingstock among the Zhao clan's direct-line descendants!

"All right, I understand. I'll go to the shantytown tomorrow and handle this myself!" Li Cihua sighed. Dealing with Wei Zhao was still Zhao Qibing's problem; at the very least, the men under his own command were no match for Wei Zhao.

It seemed now that playing tricks and schemes against Wei Zhao was useless. Take today's bomb: not only had it failed to blow Wei Zhao up, it had blown up their own tower instead. Could their luck get any worse?

Not far from the tower, Gu Mengyao, Shen Yushu, Tang Yun, and Tang Yun's mother stood at the roadside, eyes fixed on Qibing Tower, wondering what was about to happen to it.

"Sister Yaoyao, there's nothing wrong with Qibing Tower at all, is there?" Shen Yushu asked, a little impatient.

"Don't be in such a hurry. Just watch." Gu Mengyao had no idea what trick Wei Zhao was playing either, so that was all she could tell Shen Yushu.

"Oh..." Shen Yushu had just nodded when a huge bang rang out, and then Qibing Tower, like a movie stunt, came crashing down, in an instant reduced to a heap of ruins!

Qibing Tower had fallen! Gu Mengyao's eyes went wide, and so did Tang Yun's and Tang Yun's mother's!

"Holy crap, Brother Arrow-Brand is too strong!" Shen Yushu smacked her lips, staring at the scene before her in disbelief. She had never imagined Wei Zhao would bring Qibing Tower down! Earlier she had said as much, but it had only been talk — bringing a tower down was not something that could be done so easily.

Yet Wei Zhao had done it anyway!

A sudden sweetness welled up in Shen Yushu's heart. Brother Arrow-Brand was so good to her — she had wanted to see a tower collapse, and he had gone and made one collapse! The little wife was still very much in favor, after all!

Gu Mengyao rubbed her eyes, hardly able to believe what she was seeing. It had really collapsed?

Tang Yun also felt Wei Zhao might have gone a bit too far. He had just brought someone's tower down, and now he had done it again? Young Master Bing had said before that this tower was worth a hundred million — a hundred million, gone just like that? How much money was that? Tang Yun felt dizzy...

Tang Yun's mother was aching over it too. So much money — if only it had gone to their family. To have it vanish in an instant, what a waste!

"Was that fun or what?" While everyone was still stunned, Wei Zhao had already returned.

"Oh, Brother Arrow-Brand, you're amazing, Xiaoshu is so excited!" Shen Yushu shrieked. "I finally got to see a tower collapse live — that was so much fun!"

"Wei Zhao, how did you do it?" Gu Mengyao was astonished too. How on earth had Wei Zhao managed it?

"Wei Zhao, are you all right?" Tang Yun, not to be outdone, asked with concern.

"Heh. Zhao Qibing wanted to blow us up — he planted a time bomb in the car." Wei Zhao no longer feared explaining; the danger had passed, so there was no harm in telling them. "I simply drove the car back into their underground parking garage, that's all..."

"A time bomb!" Gu Mengyao was startled. "Earlier, when you said the car had a malfunction — you were actually going to check the bomb?"

"That's right. But I was afraid you would worry, so I didn't say anything." Wei Zhao nodded.

"How could you go do something so dangerous? You knew there was a bomb — why didn't you run away instead of driving the car back?" Hearing Wei Zhao's words, Tang Yun was seized by a wave of delayed terror. If he had mistimed it even slightly, it wouldn't have been the tower that got blown up — it would have been Wei Zhao!

Could it be that Wei Zhao had risked his life simply to please Shen Yushu? A faint discomfort stirred in Tang Yun's heart.

"Wouldn't that just let them off easy? Besides, if the car was left by the roadside and it blew up, what if it hurt someone else?" Wei Zhao shrugged. "The best place I could think of to blow it up was their own tower's parking garage — and that way no innocent people get hurt..."

"Oh — so was Zhao Qibing blown to death?" Shen Yushu asked excitedly.

"No. Before it went off, I gave them a call. If they died, who would I get to pay for my car?" Wei Zhao had never expected to kill Zhao Qibing with the blast anyway; even if he hadn't made that call, they could still see from the surveillance footage that he had driven the car back.

So Wei Zhao had only made a phone call, just to disgust Zhao Qibing and Li Cihua a little.
