Chapter 3150 — Kang Jingming's Scheme
The Blossom Guardian · Page 2 of 2
"I know. I've done plenty of this sort of thing before," Kang Jingming said with a nod. "But we must work from two directions at once—the secular Liu family on one side, and Lai the Fatso's Guan Daifu Pharmaceuticals on the other! Guan Daifu Pharmaceuticals is easy enough. A cousin of mine is a vice president there. He's not exactly easy to handle, but with the right approach, no fortress is impregnable! The secular Liu family, though—we'll have to find a point of entry. I've never had much dealings with them, so I don't know their weaknesses!"
"Oh? And how do you plan to handle Guan Daifu Pharmaceuticals?" Ancestor Xuanchen nodded and asked.
"The honey trap!" A venomous glint flashed through Kang Jingming's eyes. "This cousin of mine has a peculiar quirk—he has a powerful urge to protect any woman I've had my fill of. So long as she plays the pitiful creature before him, his protective instincts can be roused. And if they truly end up in bed together, then the Xuandan Sect can step in and make trouble—spring a badger game on him! Such things can never be explained clearly; even if Leader Bai wants to interfere, he would have no grounds! We pressure him first. If he refuses, we ruin his reputation and destroy his whole family! In his terror, he will very likely get the data for us!"
"Kang Jingming, what do you mean by that? You're not suggesting my daughter go?" Ancestor Xuanchen raged. "Do you have a death wish, boy?"
"Er... Father-in-law, you misunderstand me. I meant Little Peach Blossom, not Little Eleven..." Kang Jingming was startled and realized he had phrased it in a way that invited misunderstanding. No wonder Ancestor Xuanchen was so furious!
"Oh, Little Peach Blossom. That will do." Ancestor Xuanchen nodded. An ordinary maidservant was beneath his notice; whether she lived or died was of little concern to him. "But what if Little Peach Blossom is unwilling to go?"
"Heh heh, impossible!" Kang Jingming said with confidence. "True, my looks cannot compare with Pan An's, but I am still a first-rate handsome man, dashing and elegant. The women who fall for me are always utterly besotted, dying and reviving for me. If I send Little Peach Blossom, she cannot possibly refuse. To make a sacrifice for me—I dare say she would do it gladly!"
Kang Jingming was not boasting, either—Little Fen had been just such a case, had she not? She had pined for him endlessly, to the point of losing her mind.
"Very well, then this matter is in your hands!" Ancestor Xuanchen nodded. "But mark my words: playacting is one thing, but if anything actually happens between you and Little Peach Blossom, then don't call me Father-in-law anymore!"
"Rest assured, Father-in-law. With Little Peach Blossom's looks—miles below Little Eleven's—how could I possibly take a fancy to her? Absolutely impossible!" Kang Jingming said.
"Mm. As for the secular Liu family, I will look into them for you and put together some reference material. Then you can figure out how to strike!" Ancestor Xuanchen said with a nod.
"Yes!" Kang Jingming went off to find Little Peach Blossom. Since the last time he and Little Peach Blossom had parted, he had not spoken a single word to her. And now, returning once more to Little Peach Blossom's domain, he left her somewhat taken aback!
