Chapter 3209 — Kidnapping Liu Tianli
The Blossom Guardian · Page 2 of 2
Still, even without any real punishment, Liu Tianli's days were miserable. He had once again tasted the pleasures of drugs, only for Liu Jinghan to cut him off within a few days, and those cigarettes had been confiscated as well. So for Liu Tianli, every day felt like a year.
But there was nothing Liu Tianli could do. He was now restricted from contacting the outside world — no cell phone, no landline, only a walkie-talkie for speaking with the guards outside. You could say he wanted for nothing in food and clothing: whatever he wanted to eat, whatever product he wanted, he just called over the walkie-talkie and someone would bring it. Cigarettes too, he had those — but never cigarettes laced with drugs. Having grown used to the taste of drugs, any other cigarette now tasted like nothing at all.
"Ugh, what rotten luck. If any more cigarettes come my way, I'll have to dig a pit and bury them so Jingjing doesn't find them!" Liu Tianli muttered to himself.
But just as he was complaining, the next moment a familiar figure appeared before him, giving him a sudden start!
"You... you're... huh? You're Kang Jingming?" Liu Tianli recognized the man at once as the very Kang Jingming who had given him those cigarettes! Of course, deep down he resented Kang Jingming for taking advantage of his predicament, but there was nothing he could do about it — who told him to love drugs so much?
"Mr. Liu, we meet again!" Xiao Yi stood beside Kang Jingming, though Xiao Yi said nothing. This was Kang Jingming's show — he was merely a supporting player. As for Kang Jingming replacing him as Patriarch Xuanchen's son-in-law, Xiao Yi felt both helpless and relieved. Little Eleven had turned out like that; frankly, he didn't want her anymore either. But becoming Patriarch Xuanchen's son-in-law meant a position of supreme standing.
Now, within the Five Luminaries Sect, Kang Jingming's status had essentially surpassed his own, and he was the one constantly at Patriarch Xuanchen's side.
That was simply how things were — to gain, one must lose. So Xiao Yi could do nothing about it.
"Kang Jingming, what are you doing here again?" Liu Tianli frowned, yet a glimmer of longing flashed through his eyes. "Kang Jingming, did you bring me any cigarettes?"
"If you want cigarettes, sure. I'll take you somewhere, you play along with me in a little act, and then I can supply you with cigarettes — as many as you want, I'll give you," Kang Jingming said.
"Really? For real?" At the word "cigarettes," Liu Tianli's eyes immediately lit up with a greedy green gleam.
"Of course it's real. Why would I lie to you?" Kang Jingming said flatly. "Do you think I have that much spare time to sit here and talk about this with you?"
"That's true..." Liu Tianli nodded. "Go on then, what do you need me to do?"
"Actually, you don't need to do much. Just come away with us and be a guest at our place. I can supply you with drugs — as much as you want, however much you want!" Kang Jingming said.
