Chapter 569 — Operation Secret Theft

"Grandfather, I think we need to probe into Guan Xuewen's background. First, to find out where their formula came from; second, if possible, to get hold of the formula for the Life-Prolonging Detox Pill." Kang Jinglong paused. "Of course, our own research into the Life-Prolonging Detox Pill shouldn't stop. If we can develop it ourselves, there's still hope of being elevated to a noble house."
"Naturally. But we have no one on their side — how do we go about probing?" Divine Doctor Kang nodded and asked.
"Grandfather, haven't I said so before? There's a formidable figure in our family!" As he spoke, Kang Jinglong let his gaze settle on Kang Jingming.
Divine Doctor Kang looked taken aback for a moment, then recalled what Kang Jinglong had said back in Yanjing. He nodded. "Zhaolong, go ahead and lay out your plan."
"Zhaoming, I have a critical mission for you." Kang Jinglong looked at his brother with a grave expression.
"Huh? Me? What mission?" Kang Jingming shrank slightly under Zhaolong's gaze, not knowing what his brother was after.
"Seduce Guan Xuewen's granddaughter, Guan Xin. Think you can pull it off?" Kang Jinglong watched Zhaoming as he asked.
"Seduce... a girl?" Zhaoming blinked, then broke into a wide grin. "I may not be good at much, but when it comes to picking up women, I'm a master! That's my specialty — leave this one to me!"
Hearing Zhaoming's words, Divine Doctor Kang did not know whether to laugh or cry. Still, for all his faults, this grandson was not entirely useless — for this sort of offbeat business, he really was the right man for the job.
"Guan Xuewen's granddaughter is no ordinary girl either, not like the women you play around with. You will need to put some thought into this one," Kang Jinglong said. "From what I have found out, this Guan Xin graduated from a nursing school and has been working as a nurse at the hospital ever since. She is quite innocent, though, and has probably never had a boyfriend. A girl like that has simple feelings. She may not be easy to win over, but once you have her, she will be devoted to you for life. Ask her to get you a few secrets, and she will be only too willing to help you!"
"My, big brother, I never knew you were so formidable! So versed in the hearts of girls?" Kang Jingming was astonished. He had not expected his brother, who had never had a girlfriend, to understand women so well.
"This is only theory on my part, while you are the one with practice, so this business still depends on you! Bring me the formula, and you will have done a great service!" Kang Jinglong said.
"All right, big brother. I have no talent for management, but this sort of thing I am confident I can handle. Send me on jobs like this from now on, and I guarantee to bring them off without fail!" Kang Jingming was usually vexed at having no place where he could show his abilities; now at last there was somewhere he could put his hand to work.
Having settled this reconnaissance plan, the members of the Kang family went on to discuss the analysis of the Longevity and Detoxification Pill's formula.
"Zhaolong, judging by the present situation, this Longevity and Detoxification Pill differs from the previous one in both color and taste," Divine Doctor Kang said. "Could it be that we were mistaken last time? That what we brought back was nothing but a piece of dog shit?"
"It is possible! Perhaps after it was thrown into the trash bin it got mixed up with dog shit, and the half Zhaoming ate happened not to be dog shit, while the remaining half was dog shit through and through!" Kang Jinglong guessed.
