Chapter 1282 – House Kang in Danger

 “Grandpa's right- we shouldn't be pus.h.i.+ng the blame at a time like this. We need to figure out how to fix the problem!” Zhaoming said loudly and generously. This guy may be arrogant and tyrannical, but he still knew how to talk in times like these.

 “Yes, Zhaoming's right! The most important thing is to solve the problem! Look at Zhaoming, you two useless trash- this is what caring about House Kang looks like! You only know how to blame when we're in trouble- What, House Kang isn't your house anymore?” Miracle Doctor Kang scolded.

 Zhaolong and Guifeng were really troubled- what was going on with Zhaoming these days? He was so lucky! But they couldn't say that now.

 “Grandpa, uncle, and brother are just too rushed- they just made a bit of a misstep, that's all!” Zhaoming said before Miracle Doctor Kang asked him. “I think that in order to remedy this mistake, we need to minimize the losses as much as possible! First, we need to stop buying medicine from Miracle Doctor Guan's company- I suggest we bring their injury medicine into our labs to make comparisons. We may not be able to know what the recipe is from that, but we'll be able to see if they have those precious ingredients that we use in our injury medicine- this shouldn't be hard for brother to do, I'm sure?”

 Zhaoming's words were actually words already spoken in the last meeting, except now it sounded more professional and serious. He'd already make that preparation, and although he didn't think that his brother would mess up for certain, he'd already prepared because of how uncomfortable he kept feeling after last time. He'd been praying for him to fail, and now he did!

 “You're right! Zhaolong, Zhaoming's right- bring the medicine to the labs and see if those precious materials are in there! This is extremely important- if they aren't there, this means we've been had!” Miracle Doctor Kang also realized that something was wrong already. “We'd have to release our stock of their medicine as soon as possible at that point!”

 “Yes, Grandpa!” Zhaolong didn't have a choice- Zhaoming was getting the glory, but he still nodded his head, his eyes dark.

 a.n.a.lyzing the medicine's recipe was an extremely hard thing to do- with the technology now, especially. If it were that easy, then there wouldn't be any secret recipes in this world! Those restaurant recipes, for example, would already be a.n.a.lyzed and copied, let alone medicines and pills!

 The Pill of Life Extension and Toxin Cleansing was the same- House Kang used so much effort to figure out the recipe, to no avail except for the result of dog s.h.i.+t. This showed just hard it was!

 But, checking the ingredients in medicine was a lot easier- as long as you used those few known ingredients that you already expected, you could check if they were in there!

 And so, the lab report came back at the quickest speed, with a bunch of red X's on the entire thing, meaning that none of the special ingredients House Kang used were present in the injury medicine! Miracle Doctor Kang almost fainted!

 No wonder it was so cheap, they didn't use any of the special ingredients at all!

 “Zero! None at all!” Miracle Doctor Kang threw the report on Guifeng's face. “Look carefully, you useless son! How old are you, you're not even as useful as Zhaoming? You should've gone and a.n.a.lyzed in the first place, not wait so long and let the entire storage get blasted! How much of our funds did we use for that, now what should we do?”

 “Father, please calm down- I didn't think of that! Plus, it was Zhaoming that gave me Miracle Doctor Guan's recipe, you saw that too- it was the same as our recipe, who would've thought that they'd cut costs like this?” Guifeng said with a bitter face. “This can't be blamed on me, right?”

 Guifeng didn't make a complete statement, but anyone could hear that it was Zhoaming's fault for bringing back a fake recipe!

 “You f.u.c.k!” Miracle Doctor Kang finally went over the edge and slapped Guifeng across the face. “Blaming others for something you messed up? Yes, Zhaoming was the one who brought back the recipe, but he said it last time that Guan Xuemin might've changed the recipe to cut costs, what, you don't remember that anymore? Your memory is pretty selective?”

 Guifeng was instantly obedient after the slap- he held his swollen cheek, troubled. “I'm sorry, father!”

 “Grandpa, since it's already happened, let's just think of solutions- my father, and I have a fault in this, but we only wanted to attack Miracle Doctor Guan for House Kang!” Zhaolong quickly tried to remedy the situation.

 “Then tell me, what do we do?” Miracle Doctor Kang asked with a nod.

 “First, we need to sell all the medicine in the storage- they have an expiry date, and if they were to expire in our hands, we'd lose a big portion of money!” Zhaolong said. “If it's really hard, we would have to lose some money to get them out at a lower price- since their costs have been cut on, the effects aren't as strong anymore. If the market were to have a negative reaction to that because we weren't fast enough in selling them, it'd be bad!”

 “Looks like we have no choice!” Miracle Doctor Kang sighed. “House Kang's economic status these days can't handle big damage like this anymore. Our business is now under attack my Miracle Doctor Guan's business, and we're not the same anymore- we even lost the marriage alliance with House Xiao. We really keep stepping in the wrong place! We might not even maintain our current glory, let along ascend to a n.o.ble house!”

 “Grandpa, we shouldn't give up yet- we should make our own initiative! Since we already know that Miracle Doctor Guan cuts costs on the ingredients, we can make a statement and attack them for what they did… We can make them lose their name…” Zhaolong said, not willing to lose just like this. He wanted to save his image in front of his grandpa! After all, he was supposed to be the next head, the third generation of House Kang! Why was it Zhaoming all of a sudden?

 “What absolute bulls.h.i.+t!” Miracle Doctor Kang raged after hearing that stupid idea. “You think it's that simple? How do you even know if they've cut costs on their ingredients? You want to tell everyone that it's because they don't have those special ingredients?”
