Chapter 3194 — Is the Silkworm Turn Friend or Foe?
The Blossom Guardian · Page 2 of 2
"Thank you, Director Kang. Actually, I had already read the files before and knew that Miss Lan was also hurt by Kang Jingming. If you can introduce us, so that I may pour out the bitterness in my heart, I will feel much lighter." Xiao Taohong made no secret of the fact that she knew about Lan Zhi.
"Oh?" Kang Xiaofeng was slightly taken aback. He had not expected Xiao Taohong to already know about Lan Zhi. But then he reflected: since she had been sent by Kang Jingming and the matter had alerted the Silkworm Turn, the Silkworm Turn must surely have investigated his own background beforehand before sending Xiao Taohong. That being so, Kang Jingming's reaction became understandable. He nodded: "Then I'll give Xiao Fen a call right now."
With that, Kang Xiaofeng picked up the telephone on his desk and dialed Xiao Fen's internal line.
"It's me, Xiao Fen," Kang Xiaofeng said bluntly.
"Xiaobo? Why are you calling me?" Xiao Fen was a little surprised. At work, Kang Xiaofeng always kept business strictly business and would not speak to her directly. Even for work matters, he would have his assistant contact her rather than call this line himself.
"Do you have anything on your hands at the moment?" Kang Xiaofeng asked.
"Nothing for the time being. Why? Is something the matter?" Xiao Fen asked, puzzled.
"It's like this: my secretary, Tao Xiaohong—you know her. Before she came to the company, there was a story in her past. I hope you can talk her through it," Kang Xiaofeng said.
"Me? Talk her through it?" Xiao Fen was slightly startled, not quite understanding what Kang Xiaofeng meant. "How would I talk her through it?"
"Just now, she was abandoned by that bastard Kang Jingming…" Kang Xiaofeng said with a bitter smile.
"What?!" Xiao Fen was instantly stunned. She had never expected Kang Xiaofeng to say such a thing—that this Tao Xiaohong actually had ties to Kang Jingming? Was that not a little too much of a coincidence?
"Well, the thing is like this…" Kang Xiaofeng briefly and concisely recounted to Xiao Fen the affair between Xiao Taohong and Kang Jingming, then added: "The young master of the Xuandan Sect has already given me his assurance on this, so there is certainly nothing wrong with Xiao Taohong as a person."
"I understand. Send her over," Xiao Fen said with a sigh. Looking at Xiao Taohong now reminded her of her former self—except that her own wounds had cut deeper than Xiao Taohong's; Xiao Taohong had only just stumbled in.
"All right, I'll have her come to you right away," Kang Xiaofeng nodded.
Kang Xiaofeng sent Xiao Taohong off to find Xiao Fen, while he himself dialed Wei Zhao's number. "Leader!"
"Xiaobo, is something the matter?" Wei Zhao picked up quickly.
"Leader, it's like this…" Kang Xiaofeng told Wei Zhao about Xiao Taohong's situation and about his conversation with the Silkworm Turn.
When Wei Zhao heard Kang Xiaofeng's words, he was greatly astonished. He had not expected Kang Jingming to reach out again, and even less expected the Silkworm Turn to be on his side. In truth, Wei Zhao had always been somewhat puzzled by the Silkworm Turn's attitude: probing for news of him during the Xuandan Sect trial, then stepping forward with righteous aid when the Night Palace made trouble—all of it showed that the Silkworm Turn should not be his enemy!
Yet Wei Zhao and the Xuandan Sect were plainly still enemies—especially this time, over the matter of the first-grade automatic medicinal cauldron, where Wei Zhao had made Kang Jingming pay through the nose!
