Chapter 688 — Time Bomb

"How do you figure that? Even if she does know Guan Xin, she can't be glued to her all day long, can she? Just keep out of her way and that's that," Kang Jingming said, somewhat puzzled.
"It's not that simple as keeping out of her way, Ming *shao*. Think about it — what if Xiaofen's mouth runs off and spills everything about what went on between you two? Do you think Guan Xin would still have a good impression of you? What chance would you have left then?" Wang Shubin was every inch the schemer; he considered a problem from every angle.
Wang Shubin's words instantly knitted Kang Jingming's brows together. He was right. Xiaofen at Guan Xin's side was like a time bomb — one day, who knew when, it would go off with a "bang" and blow him to bloody shreds!
"So then, this Xiaofen really is a great big headache!" Kang Jingming now hated Xiaofen with a passion. How could one person stir up so much trouble? Nothing had gone right since he'd run into her again — the Kang family had been in the doldrums for a while now, and his pursuit of Guan Xin was central to the family's revival. He absolutely could not let Xiaofen ruin it! At that thought, a vicious glint flashed through Kang Jingming's eyes. "Shall we find a chance to do away with her?"
On the surface Kang Jingming looked like nothing but a pleasure-seeking young wastrel, but his heart was rotten through and through. Murder and arson were hardly new to him — he didn't so much as blink. Back in middle school he'd already dared to conspire to kill Xiaofen; he was even worse now.
"I'm all for it. We didn't manage to kill her last time — she's lucky to be alive. And now instead of staying home like a good little lunatic, she dares to come out and strut around. I say she's asking for death!" Zhu Xiaozhang was a ruthless sort himself and seconded Kang Jingming's proposal outright.
"I say we forget it!" Wang Shubin, however, was hesitant. "Getting rid of her is not a good idea."
"Wang Shubin, when did you turn coward? Weren't you the one who found the car when we planned to run Xiaofen down back then?" Zhu Xiaozhang shot him a puzzled look. "Don't tell me you're getting more spineless the older you get?"
"Xiaozhang, hear Wang Shubin out!" Kang Jingming still set great store by Wang Shubin's advice — the man had a decent head on his shoulders, and if he said this, he surely had his reasons.
"Ming *shao*, that friend of Kang Xiaofeng's, the one called Wei Zhao — he's a fucking maniac, a complete and total psychopath!" Here Wang Shubin grew a little timid. "We all know about Tang Zhi getting hurt by Zhao Qibing, don't we? At Zhao Qibing's completion ceremony that day, Wei Zhao tore Qibing Tower down with his bare hands and broke Zhao Qibing's legs! Holy shit — with a man like that, the less we provoke him the better!"
"But Xiaofen isn't Tang Zhi. Would Wei Zhao even bother with a thing like this?" Zhu Xiaozhang was scared too, but he still argued back.
"Right now Xiaofen is Kang Xiaofeng's girlfriend. If we kill her and it comes out, and Kang Xiaofeng goes begging Wei Zhao to avenge her — better safe than sorry. If Wei Zhao comes, we're all done for!" Wang Shubin shook his head.
"That does make sense!" Kang Jingming might be wicked, but he was also a coward who feared death. Hearing that Wei Zhao might come for revenge promptly snuffed out any thought of killing Xiaofen. With a maniac like that, the less provoked the better!
How on earth was Wei Zhao still alive, anyway? Zhao Qibing seemed to have plenty of power behind him — why didn't he go after Wei Zhao?
"So, Ming *shao*, we need to sit down and carefully work out a plan — how to settle this trouble once and for all!" Wang Shubin said.
"Then what am I supposed to do about my injection now?" Kang Jingming suddenly thought of a very serious problem. Seeing Xiaofen just now, he had nearly forgotten that he was still down with a cold.
