Chapter 381 — Found It at Last

But when he stood up, the stench was still there.
Kang Zhaoming searched all around before he discovered that the foul odor was in fact rising from the elixir in his hand.
"Why does this elixir smell like this?" Kang Zhaoming's stomach churned. This was a bit too rank, wasn't it? Had it smelled this way before?
Yet though Kang Zhaoming thought hard for a long while, he truly could not recall whether the elixir had stunk when he had stepped on it. He had been too excited then, too busy mocking Kang Xiaobo, to spare a thought for whether the pill was fragrant or foul.
"It's probably the one!" Kang Zhaoming nodded in self-consolation, for the color of this dog turd really was far too similar to that of the Longevity Detox Pill. He had only held it up for a single glance before grinding it underfoot, so now he could not clearly recall its color either.
Kang Zhaoming hastily and carefully clasped the dog turd in his hand; seeing that no one around was paying attention, he slipped cautiously back into the banquet hall.
The moment he entered, he met his grandfather Divine Doctor Kang's questioning gaze. Kang Zhaoming hurriedly nodded to him, signaling that he had already found that Longevity Detox Pill.
Divine Doctor Kang breathed a sigh of relief. If it truly was a treasure, throwing it away would have been a sheer waste. Tonight he must telephone Liu Tianyi and ask whether such a thing really existed.
Liu Tianyi had meant to invite Wei Zhao to ride in his car, but seeing that Wei Zhao had come in his own, he had no choice but to let it be.
Wei Zhao drove Tang Yun, Kang Xiaobo, Xiaofen, and Guan Xuemin back to Songshan City. He dropped Tang Yun at the hospital and Xiaofen at her home before taking Kang Xiaobo with him to Guan Xuemin's house to discuss business.
Kang Xiaobo had wanted to keep Xiaofen company; he feared that seeing Kang Zhaoming today might have left her in low spirits. But when Xiaofen heard that Wei Zhao had important matters to discuss with Kang Xiaobo, how could she let him waste his time?
She shook her head at Kang Xiaobo and smiled brightly. "Xiaobo, Brother Wei Zhao has real business with you. Hurry along — no need to keep me company, I'm fine! I'm feeling much better now."
"Are you really all right?" Kang Xiaobo was still somewhat uneasy. After all, she had been hurt so deeply by Kang Zhaoming — how could she be fine just like that?
"Heh, I'm waiting for the day you avenge me!" Xiaofen laughed. "Those words you said today — I've remembered them!"
"All right, then wait for me. I will definitely do it!" Kang Xiaobo clenched his fist.
Wei Zhao smiled. He was giving Kang Xiaobo a stage on which to perform, but Kang Xiaobo had to be willing himself. If he were shiftless and idle, then even as his spokesman he would be no more than a do-nothing who ate his fill and sat around watching others — but if he himself was full of fighting spirit, that was another matter entirely.
So long as he had that drive, he would surely throw his heart into it and strive; sooner or later he would succeed! So long as he had confidence and a dream, it would surely come true!
"Tang Yun, I won't come up with you. As for your father's surgery, Grandpa Guan has already put in a word. When it comes to bones, I'm powerless — but once he's had the operation, I have some medicine here that can make his wound heal with remarkable speed." Wei Zhao said this to her as she was about to get out of the car. "When the surgery is done on Monday, I'll bring it to you. I didn't carry it with me today."
"Mm... thank you." Tang Yun nodded, and did not refuse. She did not know when it had begun, but she had gradually grown used to it — used to Wei Zhao's concern, his care.
After Tang Yun got out of the car, Kang Xiaobo could finally hold back no longer. "Boss, you mean the medicine that's more or less the same as the wound medicine my Second Grandfather makes?"
