Chapter 4667 — What Is a Sucker
The Blossom Guardian · Page 2 of 3
He truly had no objection to teaming up with a beauty of good background like Huo Yudie, but Kang Jingming's attitude was starting to get on his nerves. Pestering a woman the moment they arrived—damn it, were they here to do business or not?!
Helpless, Kang Jingming had no choice but to stop in his tracks resentfully. Though he was the main force of this operation, Xu Lingchong was still his direct superior after all; once he offended this Young Master Xu, a single word from him could be enough to doom him. He could not afford to provoke that.
Taking in this scene behind him, Wei Zhao smiled indifferently and then strode forward, too lazy to meddle in other people's business. But at that moment Huo Yudie suddenly came running up after him and, heedless of the astonished looks from the others in the distance, actually reached out and caught the hem of Wei Zhao's robe.
Seeing Huo Yudie looking so pitiful and delicate, Wei Zhao's brows immediately furrowed deeply. He was not like Kang Jingming, who could not move his legs at the sight of a beauty. His tone laced with displeasure, he said, "What exactly do you want? I don't have time to be anyone's sucker. If you're looking to hook a sucker, go find that thing over there—can't you see how eager he is?!"
"What is a sucker?" Huo Yudie blinked in puzzlement, turned to look at the sullen-faced Kang Jingming behind her, and then looked curiously at Wei Zhao. "Is his name Sucker? But just now when he introduced himself, didn't he say his name was Kang Jingming?"
"..." Wei Zhao shook his head, speechless, at a loss for how to explain. What was the story with this baffling woman—was she truly foolish or only pretending? Though he could not sense any threat from her for the moment, no matter how he looked at it, this woman surely had some ulterior motive, didn't she?
"Damn you! Wei Zhao, you dare call me a sucker? Believe it or not, I'll blow you to bits with one shot!" Kang Jingming had heard every word clearly and immediately stamped his feet and cursed, even leveling his laser cannon at Wei Zhao. Had he not been mindful of the orders from above, he would have dearly loved to fire.
Taking the initiative to woo a woman and being treated as a sucker to be hooked were two entirely different things. Any man would be unhappy to hear such a thing, especially Kang Jingming, who was at the height of his self-confidence right now!
With the laser cannon pointed at him like that, Wei Zhao felt a subtle sensation in his heart—he had actually sensed a trace of threat from this brat Kang Jingming, something he had not felt in a long time. It seemed this laser cannon was indeed not to be taken lightly.
Though he was secretly wary, Wei Zhao's face showed only disdain as he gave Kang Jingming a sidelong glance, too lazy to even bother with him.
Kang Jingming was instantly furious. Before this, when Wei Zhao had ignored him as though he did not exist, he had had no choice but to endure it. But now that he held the laser cannon and the smart armor in his hands, the bastard still dared to put on such a high-and-mighty air—this bastard truly did not know how he would die!
"Hmph! Don't get cocky, you brat. If the West Island people weren't watching, I'd blast you to cripple with one shot!" Kang Jingming viciously flashed a middle finger, then turned to Huo Yudie and said, "Fair lady, you'd better not go with this fellow. He's a eunuch—he doesn't know how to appreciate you. You'd best come with me!"
When Kang Jingming said this, he was completely unaware that the air behind him had suddenly turned cold. Blinded by lust, he had spoken of eunuchs right in front of Xu Lingchong—this was nothing less than cursing a monk's bald head to his face.
