Beauty and the Bodyguard

Chapter 1281 – Saviour Zhaoming

“You really like to put me down!” Lin Yi looked at Elder Jiao helplessly, annoyed. “Can’t you just let me hope about it a bit? Why do you have to be so blunt?”

“I’m just letting you have the mental preparation and adjust your mood. As a practitioner, I don’t know if it would be a good thing or bad thing for your emotions to get all messed up, but I do know that if your mental state isn’t strong, it will affect your practitioning speed. That ain’t what I want to see.” Elder Jiao said.

“Alright, since you can already see that- do you have any solutions?” Li Yi asked.

“If my original body was here, then it should be fine. But I’m just a remnant, a hollow. Or a soul, you could say, that exists within the jade space. I wouldn’t be able to do anything!” He shook his head.

Elder Jiao’s words made Lin Yi drop deep into thought- he didn’t want to accept this outcome, but he had no choice!

“Fine, I’ll go with the flow,” Lin Yi sighed.

House Kang had recently been buying large quantities of Miracle Doctor Guan’s medicine, but what they expected didn’t happen at all!

In their view, it didn’t matter how economical their original ingredients were. They wouldn’t be able to handle supplying such big shipments!

But, Miracle Doctor Guan’s medicine was now being supplied on a national level- their supply source seemed so plentiful, too! From House Kang’s observations, they were even building new factories!

What did this mean? This meant that there were plenty of ingredients, and it was the factories that limited production! This really shocked House Kang to the core!

“What is going on? Can somebody explain just where they get their materials?!” Miracle Doctor Kang raged right after taking in the news. “Wasn’t it said that they were suffering losses and not earning a profit? How is this not earning a profit, they’re building more factories so they can lose more profit?!”

“This… Father, please calm down- this issue requires further observation! Making factories doesn’t mean that they’re using them to make injury medicine; it could be that they have a new product?” Guifeng stood up after some hesitation.

It was Guifeng and Zhaolong’s idea to buy large quantities of their medicine, and now that something went wrong, they naturally had to explain themselves!

“Ignore the factories for now- my question is, where are they getting these materials! In order to buy Miracle Doctor Guan’s medicine, we’ve exhausted all our moving funds, and filled the stocks with their medicine! We’ve never had such full storage before! Just what did they use to build this medicine? Even if it’s a bountiful harvest for their materials, we’ve never even supplied this much before!” Miracle Doctor Kang really was raging as he yelled, slamming a hand onto the table. “We bought so much already- what about those on the market? There are those who bought even more than us. They still have plenty, plenty of stock!”

Miracle Doctor Kang casually went to House Kang’s storage area today- only to see it completely filled with Miracle Doctor Guans’ medicine! Something was clearly wrong! Just how little material did they use to generate so much medicine?

And so he brought Guifeng, who was in charge of buying that large quantity of medicine, over to talk! Guifeng also jumped in shock once he saw the storage- this was ridiculous! He only ordered his men to buy Miracle Doctor Guan’s medicine, buy as much as they could- he didn’t check himself just how much they’ve bought.

He even thought that there wouldn’t be that many after just a few days, but it was clear that something was wrong! This was way too much, and still, it didn’t impact their items in the market!

They were still selling their Miracle Doctor Guan medicine as if they didn’t have a shortage at all!

“This… This should be the problem of the other party’s channel for ingredients, isn’t this my nephew Zhaoming who was in charge of it?” Guifeng wiped off the cold sweat on his forehead- his father really was angry! But he truly didn’t expect that the storage would look like this!

So he quickly pushed all the rage and blame to Kang Zhaoming! It was Zhaoming responsible for investigating, and it wasn’t his fault that he didn’t provide ample information, it wasn’t his fault! It was just an uninformed move on his part!

Kang Zhaoming was now coldly looking at the situation, pleased. He’d already advised against buying large quantities of the medicine, but no one listened. Great, now they were in trouble! He really was happy. He didn’t think that his uncle would be as shameless as to push all the blame onto him!

“Uncle, you can’t say that- I said I didn’t agree with what you guys were planning, I even said that they might’ve changed the recipe, cutting out the expensive materials, dropping the price and increasing production! But no one believed me? And now the blame is pushed onto me, isn’t that a bit absurd?” Zhaoming jumped out with his retorts.

“That’s…” Guifeng remembered suddenly that Zhaoming did go against their plan- they didn’t think much of it, but they all remembered that Zhaoming really did say those words back then! Was his prophecy correct, once more?”

“Zhaoming? Your guesses all godlike these days? Predicting the correct outcome so many times?’ Zhaolong said as he looked at Zhaoming flatly, a dark look in his eyes.

Zhaolong’s words had a connotation to them- anyone could hear it. Zhaolong suspected him of betraying them and going with the enemy to destroy House Kang!

“Enough!” Miracle Doctor Kang raged and slammed the table as he looked at Guifeng and Zhaolong as they tried to push the blame. “Quiet, don’t think I don’t know what you’re thinking! Zhaoming said it already. He reminded us- he was being considerate! It’s my fault for going senile, for listening to you pieces of trash! Zhaoming can be a tyrannical young master all he wants, but it’s impossible for him to go team up with the enemy and mess up House Kang! House Kang is his house. When he becomes the head of the house, all this stuff becomes his! Why would he destroy it?!”

Miracle Doctor Kang’s words made Guifeng and Zhaolong freeze- what did he mean? Had he already decided that the future head would be Zhaoming?!
