Chapter 3192 — Feng Tianhu's Test
The Blossom Guardian · Page 2 of 2
This actually set Xiaotaohong's mind at ease. After all, she did not want to deceive Kang Xiaofeng, and this way she would not have to sell anything out. True, Tianchan would help shield her from some of the pressure, but if Guandaifu Pharmaceuticals really had been making the cauldron, Kang Jingming would certainly have pressed her step by step to steal the data.
"Brother Kang." Xiaotaohong's phone rang; it was Kang Jingming, and she quickly steadied herself and answered.
"Little Sister Xiaotaohong, how goes it? Any clues?" Kang Jingming asked warmly.
"Brother Kang, I have already begun taking charge of Guandaifu Pharmaceuticals' core business bit by bit, but I have not found the production data for the First-Grade Automatic Medicinal Cauldron, nor seen any record related to its manufacture," Xiaotaohong said. "So I am certain that no First-Grade Automatic Medicinal Cauldron has ever been produced here. Brother Kang, you should give up on this place…"
"Oh? Nothing at all…" Kang Jingming was somewhat disappointed. In truth he had more or less guessed this outcome: after all, Guandaifu Pharmaceuticals was a pharmaceutical production line, and he had already confirmed that the cauldron was assembled and produced at the Liu family's electronics factory, so it stood to reason that there would be no data here.
But naturally Kang Jingming would not let Xiaotaohong give up, for he did not want her returning to the Xuandan Sect. He could not very well kill her, and having her before his eyes was an eyesore. If she should affect his relationship with Little Eleven and make the Xuanchen Ancestor wary, the loss would outweigh the gain.
So Kang Jingming said outright: "Xiaotaohong, do not give up. Stay on there. This First-Grade Automatic Medicinal Cauldron is probably too core a secret to be shown casually before ordinary employees. So stay on there! I imagine it might take three to five years before you can come into contact with those secrets. Xiaotaohong, if you want to be with me, you must be prepared for a long undercover stint! Do you understand?"
"Yes, yes, of course, Brother Kang. Then Xiaotaohong will stay on here and keep probing into the matter of the First-Grade Automatic Medicinal Cauldron!" Xiaotaohong nodded hurriedly. In her heart, though, she was utterly contemptuous: ever since she had learned of Kang Jingming's ugly true face, she understood that he was merely playing with her. Be with her? He simply wanted her far away, lest she get in the way of his own designs.
Still, staying here was exactly what Xiaotaohong wanted. Over this period she had also grown quite fond of Kang Xiaofeng. She knew he already had a girlfriend, but Xiaotaohong was a person of the上古 circles and had no notion of monogamy at all, so it did not stop her from liking him.
"Very well. If you have news, call me again. If there is none, do not contact me on your own, lest Kang Xiaofeng find out." This was the last time Kang Jingming would call Xiaotaohong; from here on he would likely pay her no further mind. RS
