Chapter 1312 – Unlucky Miracle Doctor Kang

Zhaolong was a schemer. While he was unwilling, he would only lose more and more if he showed it in a disadvantageous situation. After trying to push the blame away to no avail, Zhaolong needed to look for different opportunities!

Enduring now would let him have bigger chances!

Zhaoming said that he would go and look for the recipe of the Pill of Life Extension and Toxin Cleansing, but he actually went out to get some ladies and drink and play! Getting a recipe wasn't that easy. He had no idea how to start! He just wanted to play for a bit right now!

But the phone call told him that there was something big that happened at home, and so he quickly got back!

While he was in opposition to Zhaolong right now, it was House Kang that was in trouble- he was no idiot. There would be no good life waiting for him if House Kang were to fall!

But, after running back to House Kang and learning of what happened, he calmed down. He thought that it was some big deal- yes, they lost some money, but this wasn't annihilation! Plus, he was feeling quite happy, too- this was Zhaolong's fault in the first place, and great, now grandpa was disappointed in him! Zhaoming would be the head of the house now!

Zhaoming could imagine his future already, sitting on the throne of House Kang, with girls by his sides and eating and drinking with n.o.body able to do anything! He was the boss- the G.o.d!

But on the surface, he still looked hurt. “This is a big thing indeed- but now that it's happened, there's no time for blaming. Uncle and brother didn't do it on purpose; of course, they didn't want it to happen! Luckily, it's just the issue of money right now, with no bigger problems- otherwise, House Kang would be in deep trouble!

Zhaoming kept saying that they shouldn't be blaming anyone, but just those words coming out of his mouth made it obvious that he was blaming it on them!

“Zhaoming, we'll lose the money, fine, but with the amount of medicine volumes Miracle Doctor Guan is pumping out, it's greatly affecting our sales… Those medicine shops that kept begging and begging us to supply to their stores now all disappeared, not asking us House Kang anymore…” Miracle Doctor Kang smiled bitterly. “I'm afraid that it's a Miracle Doctor Guan's world now! There's still the purchases from the military right now, but how long will that last? I'm worried that Guan Xuemin would take those orders as well, and then it'd be the end of us!”

Miracle Doctor Kang's words were severe, but if this continued, it would really become a reality!

Zhaolong, Zhaoming, and Guifeng all looked worried- there was a saying. A broken nest would lead to broken eggs- if House Kang fell, there wouldn't be any throne for them to sit their a.s.ses on!

So now, the three all let go of their fighting, lowering their heads heavily.

“This time I called you over is to discuss- what should we House Kang do? What can we do to handle this? The future is dark!” The doctor sighed. “Tell me- what is our plan?”

Guifeng and Zhaolong looked at each other- they didn't have any good plans! House Kang didn't have many cards, just a recipe for Golden Injury Medicine, and that's it! It'd be over for them if someone replaced that!

House Kang did create normal medicine like head pain medicine and flu medicine, but those used common recipes. There were too many people doing it, and it would be too hard! They put the name of Miracle Doctor Kang on the packaging before, and they were able to sell some, but the name wouldn't work anymore! Those medicines would be the same as any common medicine, and while House Kang wouldn't be starving, they'd just be a normal house, let along a n.o.ble house!

“Grandpa, I feel that this falls onto my shoulder! I feel that my responsibility is great- if I were to get the recipe to the Pill of Life Extension and Toxin Cleansing, then everything would be solved!” Zhaoming said after some thought. In truth, he didn't know what else to say.

“You're right! Zhaoming's right- well? Do you have confidence?” The doctor nodded, satisfied.

“These days, I kept looking for my friends to drink and pull connections- this thing can't be rushed, we need to bid our time! The recipe is kept in secret; after all, normal methods wouldn't work!” Zhaoming said.

“That's true- you'll have to work hard then!” The doctor said. “From now on, all House Knag's resources will be given to you to use- but you need to use the goal of the Pill's recipe as priority!”

“I understand, leave it to me!” He nodded.

Zhaoming was overjoyed upon hearing the decision- this meant that he basically had the authority of the head now? He was going to be the head of the house soon?

Zhaolong's heart dipped upon hearing the words- even though his grandfather had already named him as head, he never gave him so many resources so blatantly, but now…

Zhaolong didn't want this to continue, but he couldn't say anything. His only hope was that Zhaoming messed this up and couldn't get the recipe, but if that were the case, House Kang would be finished!

With the situation they were in, if no core medicine recipe came up, they wouldn't have many cards to play! Zhaolong felt so conflicted- he wanted Zhaoming to fail, but at the same time, he didn't'!

If he failed, then even if Zhaolong became the head, so what? They'd be as small family, and it wouldn't be an achievement! But if he succeeded, then Zhaoming would be the head for sure!

How was he supposed to make it so that Zhaoming would get the recipe but not become the head? Zhaolong started thinking- he needed a plan!

Zhaoming, on the other hand, was thinking about how he should get the recipe. It was very troubling- probably only Miracle Doctor Guan had it!
