Chapter 1090: Chapter 1090

"Seeing this announcement, it’s clear the Wu Family intentionally tied themselves to you, not mentioning a word about the maidservant issue. It’s obvious this is a trap."

Old Master Su smiled slightly and looked at Tang Ming with a sigh: "You are still too young, after all."

"So it seems, I’m indeed too young."

Tang Ming sighed helplessly, despite all his precautions, he still fell into the trap.

"Now, in their attempts to associate with you, these families are using every conceivable means. The Wu Family shamelessly thought of even using a maidservant as a ploy. You must be careful when you visit the Long Family tomorrow."

Su Tianyu sincerely reminded him.

"Don’t worry, no matter what tricks they use this time, I won’t fall for it."

Tang Ming nodded solemnly and then said seriously: "After visiting the Long Family, I plan to return to Songlan City. This Imperial City is just too dangerous."

"I agree with your decision."

Unexpectedly, Old Master Su agreed immediately, squinting his eyes, he said:

"Considering members of the top nine families of the Imperial City are such, imagine what more outrageous things smaller family forces might attempt. Staying in the Imperial City at this time is too dangerous for you."

Su Tianyu deeply agreed with this, as it wasn’t just the few major families thinking about associating with Tang Ming.

The power dynamics in the Imperial City are complex, with countless family forces living on this land, seeing Tang Ming’s excellence and potential, they are likely trying to find ways to associate with him.

In the days following the grand competition, it’s a time for Tang Ming to interact with a few major families; no one dares to clash with them yet.

Once this period passes, Tang Ming will be free, at which point forces across the Imperial City will surely swarm like bees.

Mind you, family forces from the Ming Group faction might also be setting their sights on Tang Ming. That group is known for their generosity, not shying away from using money, women, and power.

The Su Family also doesn’t want to see smaller familial forces associating with Tang Ming and growing stronger, so they did not oppose Tang Ming’s suggestion to leave.

"Since that’s the case, I’ll arrange a private plane for you and your three friends to return."

Su Tianyu thought carefully and said cautiously:

"After you return, you should settle back into a peaceful life. If you take a public flight back, it’s easy for someone to find out your whereabouts."

"That would be best. You can say Tang Xin is on a special mission; try to keep this identity out of the public eye as much as possible, or I won’t have any peaceful days."

Tang Ming nodded repeatedly, very satisfied with this arrangement.

After giving serious instructions, Tang Ming went back to rest.

After Tang Ming left, Old Master Su immediately looked puzzled at Su Tianyu:

"Where is the Su Family going to arrange for a private plane?"

After all, the major families are official forces. They might have planes for special uses, but arranging a flight for a guest is not within their scope.

Especially since the Dark Group was previously broke, it’s even more impossible to use a private plane.

"Father, we don’t have one, but the Ming Group does."

Su Tianyu laughed, "Now, the Su Family is the family controlling resource allocation, it’s time for us to use the power we have."

Old Master Su laughed heartily, reminding: "Be sure to check everything carefully, don’t let anyone tamper with it."

Su Tianyu nodded confidently, a small task would not be difficult for him.

Contrary to Old Master Su’s speculation, the Ming Group family’s forces at this time were already too preoccupied to deal with Tang Ming, as the Ming Group leader, Fu Tianyou, was hospitalized.

In the hospital’s special care ward, Fu Tianbao, Wan Changfa, Qian Weiguo, and Zhao Jincheng stood before the sickbed, looking at Fu Tianyou, who was receiving treatment from Nangong Tianyue, with grief and indignation.

At this moment, Fu Tianyou lay on the bed, his lips twitching constantly, and his expression in a state of confusion.

Before visiting the Lin Family, Tang Ming had severely played a trick on Fu Tianyou at the hospital, causing Fu Tianyou to spit blood three times.

After the matter ended, Fu Tianyou was already infuriated.

It was unexpected that a video of Tang Ming fiercely humiliating Fu Tianyou spread around specific circles that very evening.

When Fu Tianyou saw his embarrassing appearance being filmed and publicly shared, he was so enraged he spat blood again and passed out on the spot.

The members of the Ming Group hurriedly sent Fu Tianyou to the hospital for treatment, the diagnosis being an acute stroke, impossible to cure.

Upon receiving the news, the family heads of the Ming Group faction rushed to the hospital to check the situation today.

Fortunately, Nangong Tianyue was still around, and upon hearing of Fu Tianyou’s incident, rushed over to provide treatment.

Just as he finished the treatment, Fu Tianbao immediately asked:

"Master Nangong, how is my brother’s condition?"

"I’m sorry, I was late! Right now, I can only preserve Director Fu’s consciousness and upper body."

Nangong Tianyue shook his head helplessly. Had he treated the issue at the moment it occurred, he was confident Fu Tianyou could have recovered, but now...

"What does that mean? And his lower body?"

Fu Tianbao’s face changed slightly, nervously asking.

"For the lower body, he will have to rely on a wheelchair."

Nangong Tianyue shook his head, speaking with regret:

"Director Fu’s ire and heart attack caused a full stroke; saving his upper body was the best I could do."

Fu Tianbao stammered, unable to speak.

The dignified leader of the Ming Group was so infuriated by Tang Xin that he suffered a stroke and now has to spend his life in a wheelchair; it truly feels absurd.

"Everyone, given Director Fu’s current state, you all should choose a new leader quickly. Otherwise, our Medicine Sect’s cooperative projects with the Ming Group might be jeopardized."

After packing up his tools, Nangong Tianyue hesitated a moment before reminding them.

"Right, right, the Ming Group is too significant a power to be without a leader."

Zhao Jincheng hurriedly agreed, eyes gleaming as he said:

"Since Fu Tianyou is incapacitated, let him hand over the Ming Group and spend his years in retirement at a sanatorium."

"Exactly, I agree, our immediate priority is to elect a new leader for the Ming Group as soon as possible."

Wan Changfa nodded repeatedly.

"Hahaha, the Fu Family has been in charge for three years; now it’s time for us other three families to select personnel."

Qian Weiguo laughed with anticipation.

"Don’t go too far, my brother just fell ill; isn’t it too much to hit someone when they’re down?"

Seeing these guys not showing any signs of sadness but instead each trying to seize benefits, Fu Tianbao couldn’t tolerate it anymore and roared out.

"Brother Fu, we are also very upset about Fu Tianyou’s situation, but our sadness shouldn’t impact the interests of the Ming Group."

Qian Weiguo looked at Fu Tianyou earnestly, "The Ming Group is a special department and cannot be without a leader, do you agree?"
