Beauty and the Bodyguard

"I understand now! I was thinking that we could buy a few packets of those back and test them in the lab. Why do we need to spend so much to buy the recipe? So you are planning to give them a 'surprise' when their product is on sale!" Kang Zhaoming finally realized and nodded. Kang Zhaolong didn't make it clear over the phone and he wasn't sure what was the point of getting the recipe.

"Hmm... Zhaolong, go and get this ready. We must make Miracle Doctor Guan's Medicine Company lose their reputation!" Miracle Doctor Guan told Kang Zhaolong, "Make a plan and show me."

"Yes, grandpa!" Kang Zhaolong nodded. Making schemes was a strong suit of his, and he would make Miracle Doctor Guan's Medicine Company lose their reputation. It wasn't only because of his impression of Miracle Doctor Guan, but because House Kang would belong to him in the future, he had to kill this potential competitor early! He wouldn't let them take their business and position in the market!

"Oh right, grandpa, Guan Xin is already engaged, what do we do about that? What we planned before won't work. How will she agree to date me if she's already engaged?" Kang Zhaoming pushed his failure all on Guan Xin's engagement, but House Kang's people didn't know the detailed situation and didn't question Kang Zhaoming's ability to pick up on girls.

"That's our negligence! We didn't think that Guan Xin would already be engaged. If that's the case, it's hard for us to get the recipe for the Pill of Life Extension and Toxin Cleansing!" Miracle Doctor Kang heard Kang Zhaoming's words and frowned. He knew that a well-trained young lady like Guan Xin would never act so closely with another man after the engagement, so the plan they made previous to steal the recipe wouldn't work!

However, he was still unwilling to give up. After all, the recipe was the last stepping stone for House Kang to become a large noble, as well as strengthen them to a whole new level.

"Yes, I acted before I investigated closely on it! Luckily we haven't alerted them yet, or it would be even harder!" Kang Zhaoming wasn't stupid and admitted his fault to avoid his grandfather's scolding, "I disappointed everyone!"

"Grandpa, this isn't Zhaoming's fault!" At this moment, Kang Zhaolong demonstrated his generosity as the third-generation leader. Although Kang Zhaoming indeed missed it, who expected Guan Xin to be engaged? Hence, he continued, "We can't stop something like this. But Zhaoming was good enough to get us the recipe for their injury medicine!"

"Zhaolong is right. Zhaoming, you don't have to undervalue yourself. You've done well. As for the pill, we will think of something else!" Miracle Doctor Kang said.

"Don't worry, grandpa, I'll go back to Songshan when I'm free and continue investigating. But I'll need my family to support me with allowance…" Kang Zhaoming was rather unrestrained in Songshan without his family's surveillance, hence he planned to go back after he delivered the recipe back.

"Don't worry about it, I'll give you one million as an allowance, tell me if it's not enough! As long as you can get me the recipe of the pill, it's worth it no matter how much we spend," Miracle Doctor Kang said, "Oh right, as for their purchase channel, you have to work harder for that. If we grasp his purchase channel for raw ingredients, we'll seal this channel off and let's what he can sell in the future! What can he do with the recipe without ingredients?"

"Okay, I understand!" Kang Zhaoming nodded in agreement.

...…

Lin Yi sat on the sat, watching Pleasant Goat and Big Big Wolf with Miss and Chen Yushu. He couldn't understand; why did they like to watch a kid's cartoon at this age?

Then he thought about the way that they shut themselves in every day without getting in contact with the outside world. It was understandable that their interest was a bit more immature than others.

It was always boring at night. Especially when Chu Mengyao and Chen Yushu watched TV together, Lin Yi had nothing to do. He picked up his phone from the table and began to play games. In fact, Lin Yi only felt bad to leave as he volunteered to watch TV with them. If he left halfway, it wouldn't be giving them face.

Miss was also someone who valued face a lot.

"I'm going to take a shower," Lin Yi was bored. The show finally ended and he threw his phone back on the table, stood up and was ready to go back to his room for a shower.

"I'm going as well," Chu Mengyao stretched, "You?"

"I haven't finished eating my apple yet, I'll watch for a while. Yaoyao sis, you go first," Chen Yushu switched channels with the remote and mumbled with half of an apple in her mouth.

After Chu Mengyao went upstairs, General Weiwu saw that they all left, it wagged its tail and returned to its territory—under the stairs.

Not long after Lin Yi and Chu Mengyao left, Lin Yi's phone on the table suddenly rang. Chen Yushu jumped and picked up the phone. She saw the caller ID showed 'Tang Yun', she hesitated for a while before picking up, "Hello?"

"Hello?" Tang Yun was taken aback. Why is it a girl's voice? She subconsciously thought that she called the wrong number, but found it strange after checking that it was indeed Lin Yi's number, "You are? Isn't this Lin Yi's phone?"

"Yes. This is the automatic voicemail Shu, is there anything you would like to say? You can leave a message here with me or I can pass it on to Shield bro for you…" Chen Yushu said.

"..." Tang Yun recognized Chen Yushu's voice and she was speechless, "Shu? Where's Lin Yi?"

"Oh, Shield bro and Yaoyao sis are showering. Is there anything you need?" Chen Yushu smiled evilly.

"Showering? Lin Yi, with Chu Mengyao?" Tang Yun heard Chen Yushu's words and froze. Why is Lin Yi showering with Chu Mengyao?

"Yes," Chen Yushu replied.

"Together?" Tang Yun didn't believe Chen Yushu's words as she always talked nonsense, who knows if it's real or not? Tang Yun stayed on guard, not many people could trick her.

"Yes," Chen Yushu replied.

"Why don't you go with them? Aren't you Lin Yi's concubine?" Tang Yun asked back.

"Oh, I was just joking. They can only consider me after Shield bro spends enough time with Yaoyao sis first!" Chen Yushu replied seriously, "I'm not in a hurry."
