Chapter 2440 — Not Smart Enough
The Blossom Guardian · Page 1 of 2
The classmates on the bus who knew nothing of the truth, upon hearing Right Panhu's words, immediately felt they made perfect sense. Indeed—Wei Zhao was so capable, so why hadn't he helped them recover their losses? And so, these students who had been robbed all cast contemptuous looks toward Wei Zhao's side...
"How much do you think I could stuff inside my clothes? I didn't even manage to get back Jingjing's phone, or Bai Weituo and the others' wallets and phones—so how could I possibly have gotten anyone else's back?" Wei Zhao said flatly.
Wei Zhao's words instantly enlightened the classmates who had been despising him! That was right—Wei Zhao hadn't even bothered with Han Jingyi's phone, nor with Bai Weituo, his best friend from the same dorm. How could anyone else possibly come before them? And Wei Zhao was quite right: how much could his clothes hold? If he had taken too much, wouldn't the robbers have noticed?
"This..." Seeing the expressions of sudden understanding on his classmates' faces, Right Panhu knew his attack on Wei Zhao had failed, and he felt rather embarrassed.
"All right, hurry up and help Kang Jinglong back. That intellect of yours is a bit lacking—I don't blame you," Wei Zhao said. "Birds of a feather really do flock together. You and Kang Jinglong are both missing a few screws—otherwise you wouldn't have asked such a foolish question, and he wouldn't have done such a foolish thing!"
"I..." Right Panhu cursed a silent "damn" in his heart, helped Kang Jinglong back to his seat, and was so furious he was practically steaming—yet he didn't dare do anything to Wei Zhao!
"Hiss..." Kang Jinglong had barely sat down when he drew in a sharp breath. The knife wound on his rear end, though it hadn't damaged bone or tendon, hurt terribly, so that the moment he sat down he stood right back up again. "Brother Right. Help me apply the medicine... hurry..."
"All right!" Right Panhu hastily produced a bottle of Divine Physician Kang's Golden Wound Medicine, deluxe edition, and sprinkled a generous amount onto Kang Jinglong's rear! Though the Kang family's pharmaceutical company had shut down, the Kang family still had plenty of stock on hand.
It had to be said, the deluxe Golden Wound Medicine worked remarkably well. Kang Jinglong's rear soon stopped bleeding, and only then did he sit back down with somewhat better color in his face, beginning to dab the deluxe Golden Wound Medicine on his own face. As for his eggs, kicked so swollen they had nearly burst—he could only take some anti-swelling medication for that. But the Kang family had no special remedy of that kind; he had only brought along some common supplies for wilderness survival, so the swelling would take much longer to subside...
"Phew..." Kang Jinglong finally let out a breath of relief and said rather unhappily, "Brother Right, what on earth is going on here? Why are these people really hitting us? And hitting so viciously?"
Of course, Kang Jinglong didn't dare fall out with Right Panhu outright at this point—after all, Kang Jingming hadn't yet become an elder of the Xuandan Sect. Besides, Kang Jinglong would have many more favors to ask of Right Panhu in the future, so he was merely venting the fury in his heart!
Still, he believed this hadn't been Right Panhu's intent. Right Panhu wasn't stupid either—having gone to such lengths to devise a clever "hero saves the beauty" scheme, would he then deliberately botch it? That would be plain madness, idleness for its own sake.
"I don't know either!" Right Panhu said with a bitter expression. "I explained my intentions to Grandfather beforehand, and he said he'd send a Heaven-rank expert to help. Who knew things would turn out like this? I'm sorry, Brother Kang, about this mess. I'll definitely give you an explanation!"
