Chapter 369 — What Is She Doing Here?
The Blossom Guardian · Page 2 of 2
"Sir... no, please, don't make the call. This humble one failed to recognize your eminence. Please, I beg you, do not stoop to quarrel with the likes of me..." The squad leader was on the verge of tears. So the man driving that battered old van was the true great one — he knew Li Yixun. Even if they were the merest casual acquaintances, there was no chance Li Yixun would offend Wei Zhao over a paltry squad leader.
In Li Yixun's eyes he was a nobody of no consequence whatsoever. Dismiss him, and there would be no end of men eager to take his place...
Over on the other side, Kang Zhaoming and his companions had noticed nothing of the exchange between Wei Zhao and the squad leader. The one who held their gaze was the woman at Kang Xiaokai's side — Xiaofen.
"Second Young Master Kang, isn't that woman beside your idiot brother the worn-out shoe you used to play with?" Zhu Xiaozhang pointed at Xiaofen, looking rather startled.
"Hey — now that you mention it, it does look like that little slut Lan Fen!" Kang Zhaoming's eyes went wide with disbelief. "Wasn't she killed when a car hit her? How is she still alive?"
"I have no idea. I gave that driver five hundred thousand to run her down — how did she not die?" Zhu Xiaozhang found it uncanny as well. "Five hundred thousand, wasted!"
"Xiaozhang, do not bring that up again!" Kang Zhaoming shot him a glare. How could one casually speak of hiring a killer? At least the three of them had done their dirty deeds together — none of them could give the others away.
In the business with Xiaofen back then, both Zhu Xiaozhang and Wang Shubin had had a hand.
"Heh heh, it is just the three of us here, isn't it..." Zhu Xiaozhang knew he had let his tongue slip. This was indeed nothing to be spoken of carelessly; let it out, and it meant prison.
Still, Xiaofen's family had no influence to speak of and was poor as a church mouse. Even if they heard rumors of the sort, there was no way they could do anything to them.
"What has Xiaofen come here for? Doesn't she know I am Kang Xiaokai's elder brother?" Kang Zhaoming found her purpose baffling. By rights, if Xiaofen knew he was Kang Xiaokai's brother, she would never come here to humiliate herself.
It never crossed his mind that Xiaofen had come to extort them. If she dared come here to squeeze some advantage out of them, that was out of the question; he would not give her a thing. Surely she was not so foolish as to come and beg for humiliation?
"I have been racking my brains for a reason to humiliate them. Come on, let us go over and give them a proper dressing-down!" Zhu Xiaozhang grinned and made the suggestion.
"Let us go, then. Let us see what the slut wants." Kang Zhaoming was curious too — what on earth had Xiaofen come here for?
"You three, step aside for now." Zhu Xiaozhang waved a hand at the squad leader, signaling that they were no longer needed. His attention had been fixed on Xiaofen, and he had missed all that had passed between Wei Zhao and the squad leader; he still assumed the man had been thoroughly put in his place.
"Yes... yes..." The squad leader had been casting about for a way to extricate himself, and now Zhu Xiaozhang had come along and handed him the chance. If not now, when?
The squad leader hurriedly led the first and second guards away. An internal family squabble like this was truly no place for outsiders. Though Kang Xiaokai's side had seemed the weaker, they actually knew Li Yixun; the squad leader's guts twisted with regret — had he only known, he would never have meddled for the sake of a few hundred yuan.
"Xiaofen, you slut, do you even remember who Second Young Master Kang is? What are you doing here?" Zhu Xiaozhang strode over in arrogant triumph and jabbed a finger at Xiaofen, snarling his abuse.
