Chapter 604 — Did You See the Right Person? "Hiss—?" Li Cihua Was So Shocked He Nearly Threw Away the Phone in His Hand: "What! What Did You Say? Wei Zhao Is Driving? He Went Out With Gu Mengyao and the Others?"
"Yeah, is something wrong with that?" Zhang Yuzhou was only a small fry, not high enough to know those hidden secrets. He knew that Wei Zhao had crippled Young Master Bing's legs, but he knew nothing of Wei Zhao's true strength, nor of Uncle Zhu's.
"Are you sure you did not mistake him for someone else? The man driving was Wei Zhao?" Li Cihua asked in disbelief.
"No mistake. When they came out I even took pictures with my phone! I can send them to you by MMS in a bit?" Zhang Yuzhou said with certainty. He had no idea why Li Cihua was so suspicious.
"Wei Zhao looked just like a normal man? Nothing wrong with him at all?" Li Cihua pressed, unwilling to give up.
"Yeah, he can drive, so what could be wrong with him?" Zhang Yuzhou answered.
"Then send the photos to me!" Li Cihua frowned hard. It was truly strange. According to Uncle Zhu and Yao Wang, Wei Zhao should be lying in bed on the verge of death right now. How could he go out with Gu Mengyao and Shen Yushu? How could he still drive?
"All right, so should I keep following them?" Zhang Yuzhou asked.
"No need. Pull back." Li Cihua only wanted to confirm Wei Zhao's condition and had no interest at all in where Wei Zhao was going.
"Oh, okay, then I'll pull back." Zhang Yuzhou replied.
After he sent Wei Zhao's photos to Li Cihua, he told his driver not to follow the car ahead anymore.
Just as Wei Zhao was wondering why Li Cihua had sent men to follow him again, and was about to shake the tail behind him, he suddenly saw the car behind turn a corner and vanish!
Wei Zhao shook his head. Since they were no longer following, he was too lazy to bother with them. Li Cihua could not stir up any great storm anyway.
After Li Cihua hung up, he received the MMS from Zhang Yuzhou. Sure enough, the photos showed Wei Zhao, looking perfectly fine, leaving the villa with Gu Mengyao and Shen Yushu, and then the three of them getting into the car together.
The later shots were a little blurred, clearly taken by Zhang Yuzhou after getting into his own car to keep following Wei Zhao. Only the rear of Gu Mengyao's Audi 5 could be seen clearly, showing the direction they were heading.
Li Cihua dared not delay and hurried into the back quarters of the Geili Fuyun Bar. Zhao Qibing was playing with his phone, while Yao Wang and Uncle Zhu were discussing something in low voices.
"Young Master Bing, Uncle Zhu, Mr. Yao, I have big news!" Li Cihua said hastily.
"Big news? What big news?" Seeing Li Cihua return, Young Master Bing set his phone aside. He had been reading an online novel called "A Master at Picking Up Girls," fantasizing that he could become its hero and awe the world.
"Wei Zhao doesn't seem to be hurt at all. According to my man's report, he is out right now with Gu Mengyao and Shen Yushu. Wei Zhao himself is driving, looking no different from a normal man!" Li Cihua said.
"Impossible!" Zhao Qibing said nothing, but Uncle Zhu spoke first: "I traded a palm strike with him. I know exactly how we both fared. How could he be perfectly fine?"
"Uncle Zhu, I think it's impossible too, but these are photos my man just sent by MMS. Take a look..." Li Cihua gave a bitter smile and handed his phone to Uncle Zhu.
Uncle Zhu picked up the phone and flipped through the pictures, with Yao Wang leaning in beside him to look as well.
"This--" Staring at the images on the phone, Uncle Zhu's eyes widened as if he had seen a ghost: "These were just taken? How is this possible? With injuries that heavy, never mind whether he could stand up and walk, without miraculous elixirs and Brother Yao's devoted care, it would be anyone's guess whether I could even find the strength to speak... How can Wei Zhao go out?"
Yao Wang also wore a look of utter disbelief, finding the photos on the phone simply too fantastic: "No way? Could it be that Wei Zhao was never hurt at all? Could it be that he is not an early-phase Xuan Rank master? That he is something higher?"
"Absolutely impossible!" Uncle Zhu shook his head: "When we exchanged palms, I could clearly feel his strength. He is at the early stage of Xuan Rank, no mistake! And if he were something stronger, he would never have heeded my warning to fight to the death, but would have struck at Young Master Bing directly! Since he chose to back off, it proves he had no full confidence in meeting me head-on. Besides, only when our strength was evenly matched would I be wounded yet live. If his strength had been far greater, I would not be sitting here talking now. I would have died long ago!"
"But in fact, Wei Zhao really has come out. Let's stop arguing about possible or impossible. This is already possible!" Li Cihua said helplessly: "Uncle Zhu, Mr. Yao, if Wei Zhao was badly hurt, is it absolutely impossible for him to get up?"
"You can't quite say absolutely..." Yao Wang shook his head: "There is only one possibility. He dispersed his power, and so he returned to normal!"
"Dispersed his power?" Li Cihua froze, not quite understanding what Yao Wang meant.
"Yes, dispersed his power!" Yao Wang nodded in explanation: "When a master suffers wounds grave enough to kill him, there are two ways to save his life. First, feed him miraculous elixirs made from great heavenly treasures, and of course a master who understands medicine must assist with true qi, for the true qi of heaven and earth alone is not enough to heal such wounds. Second, if you lack the means for the first way, you can only disperse the power in his body to save his life!"
"Ah? You mean that once his life is saved, his former strength is gone?" Li Cihua asked in surprise.
"You can put it that way!" Yao Wang nodded.
"Could Wei Zhao have dispersed his power?" Li Cihua muttered to himself: "The first way asks for too much. It needs spirit medicine made of heavenly treasures, and a master who knows medicine. Wei Zhao could hardly have found those. To save his life, it is quite possible he dispersed his power!"
"In the first way, those two conditions need not both be present. When you have both, he recovers faster. If you lack one, he can still recover, only more slowly." Yao Wang waved his hand.
"Wei Zhao likely has neither of those, so he chose to disperse his power. That is possible." Li Cihua said.
"Not very likely..." Yao Wang frowned: "Brother Zhu, if it were you, would you choose to disperse your power?"
