護花近衛 - 第1281章 福星高照！ - 翰墨軒

So he had immediately summoned Kang Guifeng, the man in charge of purchasing medicinal materials! When Kang Guifeng saw the Doctor Guan trauma medicine in the warehouse, he too got a terrible shock. Wasn't this a bit absurd? He had merely instructed his subordinates to buy up Doctor Guan's trauma medicine, as much as could be had, and had never personally gone to take stock of just how much had been gathered.

Besides, it had been only a matter of days. Kang Guifeng thought that no matter how much more they bought, they could not have collected all that much. But seeing it today, something truly did seem wrong! What had been collected was far too much, and it seemed to have made no impact, no dent whatsoever, upon the market!

Doctor Guan's trauma medicine on the market still sold just as it always had. There had never once been any word of a shortage!

"Th-this... this... Isn't the matter of the other side's raw material supply channels always the responsibility of Zhaoming, my nephew?" Kang Guifeng wiped the cold sweat from his brow. His father truly was angry! But the state of the warehouse, Kang Guifeng had truly never anticipated; it was practically swollen to bursting with goods!

So, with no way out, Kang Guifeng could only divert the floodwater elsewhere, pinning all the blame upon his nephew Kang Jingming! It was Kang Jingming who had been charged with investigating the other side's supply channels. If he had failed to uncover anything, if his information was poor, what had that to do with him? He himself had merely, in the absence of information, made an erroneous judgment!

Kang Jingming had been watching coldly, savoring the spectacle. He had long since opposed buying up Doctor Guan's trauma medicine in such quantities, but no one had listened. Now look, trouble had been stirred up, and inwardly he was delighted. Yet he had never imagined that his elder uncle could be so utterly shameless as to shove all the blame onto him!

"Elder Uncle, you can't talk like that. Back then I opposed your approach. I said the other side might well have changed the formula, dropped a few costly ingredients, and so lowered the cost and raised the output! But none of you would believe it, would you? Now you're pinning it on me. Isn't that a bit underhanded?" Kang Jingming leapt straight out and retorted.

"This..." Kang Guifeng suddenly recalled that Kang Jingming had indeed been opposed back then. At the time he had paid it no mind. Now that Kang Jingming jogged his memory, he remembered: it seemed Kang Jingming really had said those very words? Surely not? Had he hit the mark yet again?

"Zhaoming? You seem to have been foreseeing things like a god of late? Several times now, it seems, your predictions have come true?" Kang Jinglong shot Kang Jingming a dark, sinister look and said mildly.

Kang Jinglong's words seemed on the surface to praise Kang Jingming, but in truth anyone could hear that Kang Jinglong was suspecting Kang Jingming of colluding with outsiders to deliberately bring ruin upon the Kang family!

"Enough!" Divine Doctor Kang looked at Kang Guifeng and Kang Jinglong, each wriggling out of responsibility, and his rage boiled over in an instant. He slammed the table and cursed: "Shut your mouths! Don't imagine I don't know what you're thinking! Zhaoming did say it before, but that was a warning to us, spoken out of good intent! It is I who have grown muddle-headed, listening to you two worthless creatures! However much of a wastrel Zhaoming may be, he could never collude with outsiders to harm the Kang family. This Kang family is his Kang family as well. When he becomes patriarch in the future, will not all of this be his? What would he have to scheme for?"

Divine Doctor Kang's words left Kang Guifeng and Kang Jinglong somewhat dumbfounded! What did Divine Doctor Kang mean by that? Could it be that he had already decided that the future patriarch would be Kang Jingming?
