Chapter 1863 — Qing Bo's Sorrow

"Xiao Shu, it was only a moment's work—and yet you can describe it in such vivid detail?" Wei Zhao walked into the sickroom with a smile. He had heard Xiao Shu recounting the incident from the doorway and was secretly astonished. At the time he had been thinking of nothing at all, yet through Xiao Shu's account he learned just what a domineering force the fire-poison true qi could unleash.

At the same time, Wei Zhao inwardly lamented that the fire-poison true qi could be used only once. If it could be used repeatedly, it would be perfect! But he knew this was mere fantasy—to pay the price of qi deviation was simply too heavy a cost.

"Boss!" Chen Yutian, Wu Chengtian, Lai Pangzi, and Kang ** rose to their feet together and came forward to greet him. Though they had long known that Wei Zhao was safe and sound, only now, seeing him with their own eyes, did they truly set their hearts at ease.

"Ha ha, so you're all here!" Wei Zhao nodded to them.

"Boss, about my grandfather... he didn't bring the money over earlier..." Wu Chengtian looked at Wei Zhao apologetically, speaking with some embarrassment.

"Same with my family... you know what my grandfather is like..." Sun Jingyan said, also somewhat embarrassed.

"Boss... I... with such a huge thing happening at home, and me out playing with Xiaofen, I really..." Kang **'s face was flushed red.

"It's nothing—you are you, and your families are your families! As for Kang **, it's finally summer vacation; going out to play is only natural. Didn't I go off too?" Wei Zhao waved his hand. As for Wu Chengtian and Sun Jingyan, there was no way he could make the Wu and Sun families as friendly to him as they were, so he had no intention of blaming them at all. And as for Kang **, Wei Zhao had even less to complain about—hadn't he himself taken... taken... taken Gu Mengyao and Shen Yushu out to play?

At this thought, Wei Zhao was suddenly puzzled. He remembered that those who had gone to West Star Mountain Village together were more than three people—so why could he recall only three? That's right, there were also the mighty general and the thunder pig... but... something still seemed not quite right?

Wei Zhao shook his head. He had just awakened from the jade pendant's space; perhaps his thoughts were still a little muddled.

Only now did Qing Bo notice Sun Jingyan. Of course, he had seen her before, but he had not looked at her so carefully.

Hearing Sun Jingyan speak, he could not help studying her a few more times and found her face very familiar. He could not help recalling his wife from those years ago, and his heart grew bleak. Sun Jingyan gave Qing Bo a natural, instinctive sense of closeness!

This was his wife's junior... Qing Bo's eyes grew moist. Had he not been mindful that his own origins and background must not be divulged, he would even have had the urge to reveal himself to Sun Jingyan! He himself was her uncle by marriage!

They say a niece takes after her aunt. Looking at Sun Jingyan, Qing Bo seemed to see his wife as she had been. He forcibly restrained the impulse, turned his head away, and did not look at Sun Jingyan again, sighing faintly in his heart. Perhaps one day he might avenge that sea of blood!

**, his wife, his daughter—all gone without a trace, and the sect's great treasure as well, all swallowed up by those people!

In the past, the thought of revenge had never burned so fiercely. But seeing Sun Jingyan today, thinking of his wife whose whereabouts were unknown, and witnessing Wei Zhao's power in annihilating three Earth-rank experts with a single move, Qing Bo felt his blood boil!

Wei Zhao was only at the early Earth rank, and already he could destroy Earth-rank experts. Then what if Wei Zhao reached the Heaven rank? Could he not then annihilate several Heaven-rank experts within a single move?

Though it sounded shocking, Qing Bo was confident! When Wei Zhao was at the Mystic rank, he was already the foremost man below Earth rank. Having just advanced to Earth rank, he already had such a battle record—at Heaven rank he would surely be even more formidable.

So long as Wei Zhao was willing to lend a hand, revenge was no dream at all.

"Xiao Yi, thank you!" Seeing Wei Zhao come out, Gu Pengzhan knew he had gone to seek justice on his behalf. But seeing Wei Zhao return so quickly, he assumed Wei Zhao had not found any trace of the An family. So he said, "This matter—though it may well have been the An family's scheme, we have no evidence. If you couldn't find them, then let it go. A fall into the pit, a gain in the wit—let us start over."

"No evidence needed. The car crash was done by An Jiande, son of An Mingri and brother of An Jianwen. I've already stomped him to death." Wei Zhao smiled slightly and said, with an air of utter harmlessness, "An Jianwen traded the shares and property rights of these businesses, plus two billion in cash, for his life. But there was an expert at the peak of the late Earth rank present, so I only made him break his own legs—that was letting him off easy!"

"Hiss—" Everyone present drew a sharp breath at Wei Zhao's words!

An expert at the peak of the late Earth rank was present? And Wei Zhao could still stomp An Jiande to death, force An Jianwen to break his own legs, and extract the shares and property rights of these businesses plus two billion in cash? It was almost unbelievable!

Of course, no one thought Wei Zhao was joking, for the matter of his annihilating three Earth-rank experts in an instant was right before their eyes. Making an expert at the peak of the late Earth rank back down was not such a difficult thing.

"Uncle Chu, the shares and property rights are yours—I'm returning them to you." Here Wei Zhao looked a little embarrassed. "But this two billion in cash, I'm afraid I can't give you. My pharmaceutical company is also in dire straits..."

Gu Pengzhan was stunned. He had not expected Wei Zhao to say such a thing! Getting the shares and property rights back was already beyond Gu Pengzhan's expectations. Even if Wei Zhao had not returned them and had kept them for himself, Gu Pengzhan would not have uttered a single word of objection, because Wei Zhao had won them back by his own strength—so they were Wei Zhao's.

And yet Wei Zhao had actually returned these things to him and even apologized. This left Gu Pengzhan feeling flattered and overwhelmed. "Xiao Yi, what are you saying? These shares and property rights were won back by you—they were yours to begin with. You needn't have given them to me at all, let alone that two billion in cash!"

Lai Pangzi, who had been sunk in gloom all this while, suddenly heard that Wei Zhao had brought back two billion, and instantly straightened up! His face broke into a grin like a blossoming flower! Earlier he had been worrying about start-up capital. Even if Wei Zhao had prescriptions, it was impossible to turn the situation around in an instant—after all, the factory was already deeply in debt, and a few prescriptions could not solve anything at all!

And the reason the Kang family had risen so quickly was inseparable from the support of the You family. With the You family's connections, helping the Kang family acquire a few small pharmaceutical companies was as easy as turning one's hand!
