The Peerless Beauty Stuck With Me

Chapter 1559 - 1558: Prison

"Jinxiu, do you still remember the original intention behind our inventions?"When Fang Jinxiu was talking about the potential loss of secrecy, Tang Rao brought up a different issue.

Fang Jinxiu was confused, thinking Tang Rao was deliberately avoiding the difficult question. But just avoiding it, does it really mean it doesn't need to be faced?

"Of course, it was to protect the Kao Shan Sect brothers and defend our big family."

This point is beyond doubt, does it even need to be said?

"No, I never expected that after so many years, your perspective remains wrong. The brothers of the Kao Shan Sect should always think of self-preservation while contributing to the sect. Otherwise, what's the point of me supporting them? One or two, ten or twenty might be my brothers, but now hundreds, thousands live in Zijing City, all my brothers who need my protection and support. If they don't show their worth, how am I different from a charity director?"

Tang Rao's words were like a revelation, completely awakening Fang Jinxiu.

Yes, sometime ago, Fang Jinxiu also considered this issue, but with the hierarchical growth of the Kao Shan Sect, everything changed. Initially, she wanted to remind Tang Rao, but later, she saw everyone naturally thought the sect leader should stand in front, being their protective tree for comfort. But in fact, everyone was caught in a dead loop, entering a misconception.

If every brother had the awareness to protect Tang Rao and ensure the safety of everyone in Zijing City, Zhou Runfa's arrival wouldn't have gone unchallenged, and they would have united to restrain him and his accomplices.

And Qin Qing.

Does the Kao Shan Sect lack people? No!

Since they don't lack people, why not have more in the patrol team? If they were vigilant, Qin Qing's secret dealings with Zhou Runfa in the grove wouldn't have gone unnoticed.

"I understand what you mean, but weren't we researching these heavy weapons to defend our homeland, not to sell them?"

Fang Jinxiu followed Tang Rao's train of thought casually, not expecting to hit the nail on the head.

"Jinxiu darling, you really are Daddy's little sweetheart."

Did she really hit the mark?

"Previously, we invested so much Purple Crystal, we must have accumulated quite a stock. Think about it, as our strength increases, some past creations have become outdated. Instead of letting them gather dust in the armory, it's better to let Zhang Wang exchange them for Purple Crystals at the Kao Shan Shop. Then you can use these crystals to develop higher-end products. This cycle ensures we'll never worry about not having enough Purple Crystals in the future."

It's due to old Master Qin's appearance that Tang Rao even had this idea.

"If the armory is as you say, with many things just lying there for years, those products, all made from Purple Crystal, have never been used. But if your weapons and ammunition circulate, we'd lose control over the trend of hot weaponry. Once this trend extends, can we manage it?"

We don't want the sold items to be used against our own Kao Shan Sect, making it a losing deal.

"Jinxiu darling, you're usually so smart, but now a bit naive. Maybe Blue Star can't imprint a user's presence on each bullet and gun, but in the Divine Realm, it's possible. Identifying purchases isn't the main point; the point is, do you think anyone in the vast Divine Realm is qualified to carry a gun or a small cannon? So, in terms of pricing for these items, I need to discuss with Zhang Wang. We must raise the prices."

Like Elixir Pills, these highly lethal defensive items must be far more expensive than Elixir Pills.

Seeing Tang Rao getting more excited, his eyes brightening, Jinxiu knew he had thought of many ways to trick people out of their money.

This method isn't against morality. In business, it's about mutual willingness to engage in exchanges.

She could already imagine Tang Rao, after striking it rich, strutting arrogantly as he walked!

"Since you've made up your mind, I'll first make a list of items in the armory that can be released. When you have time, take it to Zhang Wang for handling; before that, I want to remind you, save me some crystals from the sale. I've invested my entire fortune into the production line, and now I'm completely out of private funds to continue supporting it."

Clang!

Just when Fang Jinxiu was about to tell Tang Rao something, it's merely about private funds? Once the items sell, Tang Rao would first share the profits with her.

After readily agreeing to Fang Jinxiu's small request, Tang Rao didn't immediately look for Zhang Wang but went to the prison where Zhou Runfa and his accomplices were held.

He happily assumed that the seven Bald guys along with Zhou Runfa would be living miserably in the prison. After all, the prison was of his design, and the instruments inside too. Escaping from Tang Rao's personally designed prison without facing some punishment wouldn't be his style.

Even before reaching the prison, Tang Rao sensed something was amiss. Taking a closer look, he realized what was wrong—the prisoners weren't there.

Damn it, those cunning fellows, even his custom-designed prison couldn't trap Zhou Runfa.

It seems that those who escorted Zhou Runfa's gang to the prison were also fooled by them. Right in front of Tang Rao, they endured until they got to the prison, noticing Tang Rao's attention had shifted away from them, before starting their escape plan.

One must admit, Zhou Runfa's plan was very successful, at least Tang Rao didn't expect they would sneak away quietly.

Before leaving, they left no trace behind in the prison. The few on duty in the prison had their tongues cut, were dressed in the Bald guys' clothing, and locked inside the prison.

These people were silenced, their freedom restricted, leaving Tang Rao clueless about when Zhou Runfa's group escaped.

"Where are they, where's everyone else?"

The anger Tang Rao felt in his chest almost erupted from his forehead.

The patrol team coincidentally arrived at the prison side, hearing Tang Rao yelling inside. The temporary leader hurried towards the prison, followed by a group of chattering lackeys.
