Capítulo 2497: Chapter 2433: I Accept Your Kindness
Meng Xinian shot Chiang Xiao a puzzled glance.
He was aware that Chiang Xiao had struck Gao Wei.
Yet, Chiang Xiao always managed her force precisely, so how could she have caused such severe harm?
Paralysis?
No way that could happen.
Chiang Xiao gave a faint shake of her head.
She was certain she hadn't left anyone paralyzed.
“If the doctors detected nothing wrong, then what's really happening with Gao Wei? Haven't they made him get up and take a few steps?” Chiang Xiao voiced her curiosity.
Director Wei replied, “They likely attempted it. They lifted him to his feet, the doctors checked his legs, and at first, everything seemed normal; he could support himself. But right after, Gao Wei cried out and fell down, claiming his legs had no power and he couldn't stand whatsoever.”
Pfft.
What sort of trick is Gao Wei attempting now?
Is it possible he's dealing with a mental block?
He keeps declaring paralysis even though he's obviously not injured?
That's exactly what crossed my mind. After getting thrashed, he's stayed silent, and now I learn he's still laid up in the hospital!
“And what of Gao Ming at the moment?” Meng Xinian inquired.
“He's completely out of options. That's his sole cherished son,” Director Wei stated simply.
Why didn't Chiang Xiao experience any remorse?
Recall that Gao Wei intended to sabotage her tea house operations. Moreover, she merely applied a method to strike one of his pressure points; who could have guessed he'd react so weakly with a mental collapse?
In that scenario, perhaps she ought to have struck him more forcefully then, actually snapping his legs? She shouldn't have restrained herself from real damage, opting instead for just a fright?
Alas, acting kindly proves truly challenging.
“Has Gao Wei accused me of paralyzing him?” Chiang Xiao questioned straightforwardly.
Director Wei denied it with a head shake, “He hasn't uttered a word; his mindset seems off, though a few of his foolish companions mentioned you pursuing him. Even without witnessing the conclusion, I suspect Gao Ming will pin the blame on you.”
“Does this fall under Director Wei's duties as well?”
“How could it be my concern? You believe I lack other tasks? When troublemakers stir chaos and get driven off by the proprietor, do you suppose that's for me to resolve?”
Director Wei let out a derisive snort.
Meng Xinian and Chiang Xiao found themselves suppressing chuckles.
Director Wei truly stands out. His statements neatly outline the entire matter. To him, Gao Wei sought to create havoc, and she simply repelled him—nothing more than a routine conflict.
Director Wei proves entertaining, quite entertaining indeed.
“Director Wei, your insight is sharp.” Chiang Xiao praised without delay.
“Regarding that fellow named Hu, I'll investigate his background. Should any details emerge, I'll inform you. Xiao Chiang, stay vigilant about your safety in the coming days.”
He had spelled it out plainly for her.
Chiang Xiao nodded in agreement, “Thank you, Director Wei.”
On this occasion, Director Wei had visited purely to help her, delivering valuable intel.
She appreciated his gesture deeply.
“Director Wei, since you can't enjoy this tea right now, I have half a tin remaining at home—would you care to take it for daily use?”
“In that case, I'll gladly accept.” Director Wei didn't turn it down.
Upon arriving home and unpacking the gift from Chiang Xiao, he discovered the 'partially used' tea was in fact a freshly opened tin brimming with leaves.
He couldn't suppress a smile at the discovery.
