"What rich second generation, rich third generation?" Kang Xiaobo smiled bitterly: "My grandpa is my grandpa, my second grandpa is my second grandpa—they're two separate families now. Our branch is poor, working class at best."
"A family feud?" Wei Zhao asked.
"Sort of. Originally the formula for the wound salve belonged to both my grandpa and my second grandpa. Later, Second Grandpa wanted to build a factory using the formula, and my grandpa wouldn't agree, so the conflict started..." Kang Xiaobo explained: "After that, Second Grandpa apparently stole the formula and went off to start his own factory, and the two families fell out. And it's been that way ever since..."
"Ha, your grandpa is stubborn. With something that good, not to go make money—you can't really blame your second grandpa for being greedy." Wei Zhao nodded after hearing it: "If it were me, I might well have chosen to make money too!"
But this matter had given Wei Zhao an idea! Formulas were worth money! His healing medicine and the painkiller he had made for Yang Huaijun could both be produced and sold, and the profits would surely be considerable!
Hmm, this needed looking into—see if he could find someone to partner with and make a bit of spending money. Otherwise, always using Gu Mengyao's family's money was not quite right; it made him look like a kept man.
"Actually, that's what I think too." Kang Xiaobo stuck out his tongue: "After Second Grandpa stole the formula, I asked Grandpa whether he knew what herbs were in it, but he said he'd seen it and forgotten... Ah, no help for it. So I can only work hard on my own."
"You're pretty philosophical about it." Wei Zhao now regarded Kang Xiaobo a little more highly.
"What good would it do not to be? Just make myself miserable? That'd be crazy, wouldn't it?" Kang Xiaobo said helplessly: "I can only sigh about it now and then. All right, Boss, I'm going to read."
Doctor Kang... the formula...
Wei Zhao frowned. There had to be more to this story, but Kang Xiaobo hadn't said, and maybe he didn't know much either. Still, this matter was definitely not so simple.
Qiu Lingshan was going out of her mind. The robbers had gone deep into hiding, and this area was all mountains, which made the search extremely difficult. They had found the business van with the plate reading 7-Shan-Jiu, but the plate had already been pried off. From its characteristics they could determine that it was the robbers' vehicle, but it was of no use whatsoever.
With no other choice, Qiu Lingshan could only dial Yang Huaijun's number again.
"Captain Yang..." Qiu Lingshan was a little embarrassed to even speak.
"Xiao Song, it's about the robbers, isn't it?" Yang Huaijun guessed that if Qiu Lingshan was calling at this hour, it had to be about the case.
"Yes... Captain Yang, we have no leads..." Qiu Lingshan, her purpose seen through, was somewhat awkward.
"Xiao Song, the truth is, I'm not that miraculous at solving cases—I'm just careful. This case is different from an ordinary bank robbery; it involves Gu Pengzhan and the kidnapping of Gu Mengyao. So kidnapping was their first objective, and robbery only secondary." Yang Huaijun said: "These people are organized. If you want to catch them, I'm afraid rushing won't work—especially now, when the heat is on. Whoever is above them will tell them to lie low..."
"Ah?" Qiu Lingshan had not expected Yang Huaijun to be at a loss too.
"I'm only telling you the truth. Do you remember the jewelry store robbery that happened here last year?" Yang Huaijun said: "That case also went unsolved for a long time, didn't it? Until several months later, when the suspect thought the heat had died down and came out to fence the goods, and that's when we caught him. You were the one who kicked that suspect down, as I recall."
