Chapter 2415 — An Answer That Missed the Question
The Blossom Guardian · Page 1 of 2
"I was held up a little today, because I had a student come to see me," the white-collar instructor began, his voice unhurried. "Comrade Kang Jinglong is also in our field — he is your senior fellow student, and currently a doctoral candidate under my supervision. He is writing his dissertation, and he came to me today saying he wanted to sit in on a class and look for inspiration. So for the next little while, Comrade Kang Jinglong will be a member of our class."
The instructor had no reason to refuse Kang Jinglong's request. Though Kang Jinglong was not the most outstanding student under his wing, he was a hardworking one, having studied all the way from undergraduate to doctorate under the instructor's guidance.
So when Kang Jinglong asked to audit the class, the instructor agreed on the spot.
"Hello, everyone. I'm Kang Jinglong. As your senior fellow student, if any of you run into difficulties with medicine or pharmacology in the future, you can come to me anytime!" Kang Jinglong introduced himself with an easy confidence. His gaze swept over the students below, and finally came to rest on Wang Xinyan's face, beside Wei Zhao.
Seeing Wang Xinyan sitting together with Wei Zhao, an inexplicable fury rose in Kang Jinglong's heart! This was his woman, and she was sitting beside Wei Zhao, his family's sworn enemy — a tremendous insult to him!
But Kang Jinglong was a man of deep calculation. On an occasion like this, he would never let his anger show; he simply fixed his eyes on Wang Xinyan.
Wang Xinyan felt the scorching heat of Kang Jinglong's gaze and was instantly seized with discomfort! She had never expected Kang Jinglong to suddenly appear in her class! Only yesterday she had raised the matter of breaking off the engagement with her family, and today Kang Jinglong had come chasing after her — was this meant to be a show of force, a warning to put her in her place?
It was not that she feared being "caught in the act" with Wei Zhao and worried about Kang Jinglong's reaction; what she feared was that Kang Jinglong might use the power of the Xuandan Sect to harm Wei Zhao! Then all her painstaking efforts would have been for nothing!
Kang Jinglong had, so to speak, caught her completely off guard. Had she known he would come, she would have said anything to avoid sitting at the same table as Wei Zhao — but now it was too late! Kang Jinglong's gaze was steeped in a thick possessiveness; how could Wang Xinyan fail to sense it?
Wei Zhao, by contrast, gradually calmed himself after the first brief shock. Kang Jinglong was here? This was no longer merely a matter of coincidence — the question was why the Kang family was so bold as to send Kang Jinglong here.
Behind the Kang family stood the hidden You family. Though Wei Zhao could not deal with the hidden You family at present, neither would the hidden You family dare to move against Wei Zhao lightly! Especially after the Summit of the Hidden Great Houses — the You family was even less inclined to act rashly. One need only look at how the hidden You family had suffered setback after setback and still not dared to utter a single word of protest.
Moreover, Wei Zhao had gravely wounded Elder Bi. News of that had surely spread long ago. For Kang Jinglong to appear here at this very moment was strange no matter how one looked at it! Could he really have come chasing after Wang Xinyan? Knowing the Kang family as Wei Zhao did, he found that very hard to believe!
Though Wei Zhao had not had much contact with Kang Jinglong, he could tell from the man's style of doing things that he was a sinister and calculating sort. For such a man, with the Kang family in such decline, to come wading into these troubled waters — Wei Zhao found it simply inconceivable!
At this thought, Wei Zhao raised his head and gave Kang Jinglong a faint glance. The sharpness of that gaze made Kang Jinglong's heart tighten, and he did not dare look Wei Zhao's way again…
