Chapter 1123: Chapter 1123

"Alright, since everything is fine now, let’s proceed with the discharge formalities. I’ll go explain to Principal Hao about handling the aftermath."

Liu Gaoze said unequivocally.

Then the group got up and left the isolation area to proceed with discharge formalities.

In the corridor, watching Tang Ming and others leave, An Sheng emerged from a corner, pulled out his phone with a sullen expression, and made a call.

"How are things going?"

After the call connected, a low voice sounded.

"Young Master, the plan failed."

An Sheng sighed helplessly, saying gloomily, "Somehow Tang Ming managed to save all of the experimental subjects."

"Saved? Impossible, up until now, no experimental subject has survived, and we haven’t developed an effective antidote. How could he possibly save them?"

The Young Master exclaimed in disbelief.

"I don’t know how he did it either, but those students have indeed been revived and are already undergoing discharge procedures."

An Sheng spoke truthfully.

"Damn it, that damn Tang Ming actually dared to ruin my plans."

The Young Master cursed angrily and then harshly hung up the phone.

"Causing trouble in Songlan City means you have to get past Tang Ming."

An Sheng put away his phone and sighed helplessly. If possible, he truly didn’t want to become enemies with Tang Ming.

"Bastard, bastard, bastard..."

Suddenly, a stream of curses erupted from behind him, followed by a sharp pain at the back of his head.

An Sheng quickly raised his hand to block, and saw that Elder An had somehow appeared behind him:

"Grandfather, what are you doing?"

"You unfilial descendant, are you just so willing to act as a cat’s paw, lacking all sense of conscience?"

While repeatedly slapping An Sheng, Elder An berated him in shame and anger.

"Stop hitting me, stop it, I don’t want to do this either, I’m forced to."

Not daring to act roughly towards Elder An, An Sheng ran away in distress and shouted wildly from a distance.

Elder An did not chase after An Sheng, but continued to pant heavily, and then sighed helplessly, "I’m forced to as well."

After instructing Principal Hao to handle the aftermath, Liu Gaoze took Tang Ming and the others to a nearby five-star restaurant to eat, consoling Liu Mengting.

Listening to Li Xiaoli narrate the entire process after her coma, Liu Mengting was quite frightened.

She didn’t expect to have made a trip to the gates of hell, and that the one who saved her was Tang Ming, hence she wasn’t as angry about Tang Ming undressing her since it was to save her.

Yet, as a girl being stripped like that, Liu Mengting still felt uneasy, and she kept a face while eating, ignoring Tang Ming.

Conversely, Chen Cang and Li Xiaoli kept strangely observing Tang Ming, occasionally teasing him.

Tang Ming couldn’t be bothered with Li Xiaoli and Chen Cang’s gossiping attitudes, he straightforwardly explained to Xia Wei’er.

Xia Wei’er didn’t react much, she just told Tang Ming that she completely trusted him and didn’t say anything else.

Seeing Xia Wei’er believe in him so much, Tang Ming was deeply moved.

Then... he lowered his head and began to eat voraciously.

The only elder, Liu Gaoze, sat in his chair awkwardly, having no clue what to say in response to such a scenario.

"Tang Ming, I still have to thank you this time, not only for saving Meng Meng but also for rescuing so many students, helping the school resolve a major issue."

Liu Gaoze looked at Tang Ming who was eating heavily, and sincerely thanked him.

"It’s what I should do, although the school’s troubles likely aren’t resolved yet."

Tang Ming responded unclearly through a mouthful of food.

"Indeed! The cause of the students’ coma hasn’t been identified yet, and if it’s not completely resolved, similar incidents might occur again in the future. Do you have any good solutions?"

Liu Gaoze looked at Tang Ming expectantly.

Although the students have now returned from danger, the school, police, and hospital have yet to find out why these students fell unconscious.

There are thus no means of prevention and no necessary precautionary measures, so tragedy could strike at any time.

"I have no leads on this matter, but I will investigate it as soon as possible."

Tang Ming squinted his eyes, looked seriously at Liu Mengting, and asked, "Missy, do you have any clues about your sudden fainting?"

"I have no idea why I suddenly fainted either."

Discussing serious matters, Liu Mengting didn’t quarrel with Tang Ming and said, her brows furrowed:

"Li Xiaoli, Chen Cang and I were just having lunch in the cafeteria, halfway through the meal, I lost consciousness, but the following incidents have already been mentioned by them."

"Xiao Tang, you mentioned earlier that it was poisoning, could someone have poisoned the cafeteria food?"

Liu Gaoze uncertainly looked at Tang Ming.

Chen Cang shook his head quickly, rebutting:

"Li Xiaoli and I ate at the restaurant too, yet we didn’t faint, and out of the many people eating at the Frank restaurant, only a dozen were poisoned. This doesn’t make sense."

"What if the poison was in a specific dish?"

Tang Ming squinted, analyzing: "The Frank restaurant at school is different from an ordinary cafeteria, it’s not a big pot meal; you dine only after ordering. If a specific dish was poisoned, then only those who ate that dish would be poisoned, which explains why only a dozen people were affected, as not everyone orders the same dish."

"That’s highly possible."

Upon hearing this, everyone nodded in succession.

"Then you three jot down everything you came in contact with at the Frank restaurant this afternoon without leaving out anything."

Tang Ming took a big bite of ribs, "After eating, do what you need to do. I’ll investigate this matter at school."

Normally, Tang Ming wouldn’t poke into an average case, but now he’s certainly interested in the poisoning of Liu Mengting and others. A poison that leaves no trace for him to detect and causes Xiao Honghong to fall into hibernation is simply unheard of.

Afterwards, Chen Cang and the group started reminding each other and recorded everything they came in contact with at the Frank restaurant this noon.

After the meal, Liu Gaoze took Li Xiaoli, Chen Cang, and Liu Mengting home for rest.

Tang Ming took Xia Wei’er to the food street shop, greeted Xia Wei’er’s parents briefly, and immediately headed to school.

By the time Tang Ming arrived at the school, classes were already dismissed and a two-day holiday was announced, leaving only a few boarding students or those who hadn’t left the school yet roaming around.

Tang Ming entered the school, heading straight for the Frank restaurant, but on the way past a small grove, he spotted two "familiar faces."

"How would he appear at school?"

Tang Ming looked surprised at a young man wearing a white tracksuit in the grove, surprisingly the young master of the Medicine Sect, Nangong Tianyue, with whom he had shared a brief encounter at the Imperial Hospital!

Standing opposite Nangong Tianyue was Mo Hongsheng of the Mo family.
