Chapter 1124: Chapter 1124

Mo Hongsheng and Nangong Tianyue seemed to be arguing. Nangong Tianyue reached out to grab Mo Hongsheng’s arm but was shaken off by him.

"What the hell is going on?"

Tang Ming shivered; this scene looked a bit like a couple’s quarrel.

Could it be that Mo Hongsheng and Nangong Tianyue are just good buddies?

Moreover, Mo Hongsheng actually knew Nangong Tianyue. What on earth is their relationship?

Although filled with doubts, Tang Ming had no mind to meddle in others’ affairs now. After glancing a few times, he continued towards Frank’s restaurant.

In the woods, after shaking off Nangong Tianyue’s arm, Mo Hongsheng pointed at his face and angrily shouted, "Nangong Tianyue, doing this at school is just too vicious."

"Can’t you lower your voice? Do you really want the whole world to know it was me who poisoned those students?"

Nangong Tianyue looked at Mo Hongsheng with a menacing expression.

"If you had agreed to let me do experiments in your hotel, would I have resorted to such desperate measures?"

"You bastard! The experiment hasn’t succeeded yet, and the participants of the experiment could very well die. If you tamper with my guests in the hotel and something happens to them, what about the hotel’s reputation?"

Mo Hongsheng furiously reprimanded.

"That’s why I targeted the students."

Nangong Tianyue coldly chuckled, squinting as he said, "To succeed, sacrifices must be made. Without live experiments, how can breakthroughs in research be achieved?"

"You, you’re simply unreasonable."

Mo Hongsheng was so angry he couldn’t speak, gritting his teeth as he warned, "I don’t care what your reasons are. If something happens again, I will certainly expose you."

"Ha, expose me? Don’t forget the Mo Family is also one of those involved in the research. If you expose me, you might as well be pushing the Mo Family into a pit of fire."

Nangong Tianyue laughed coldly and said nonchalantly, "The Medicine Sect is large and resilient, but the Mo Family is a business family. If the truth comes out, the Mo Family’s reputation will be ruined."

"Don’t try to scare me. What I, Mo Hongsheng, say is like spilled water. If you dare act recklessly again, I will show you what I am capable of."

Mo Hongsheng promised firmly before turning and walking away.

As he watched Mo Hongsheng’s departing figure, a stormy expression clouded Nangong Tianyue’s face.

This risky experiment at the school was partly for research needs and partly a declaration of war against the Tang brothers.

Acting under the nose of Songlan City to see how the Tang brothers would react, he never expected Tang Ming to actually save those students in the hospital, causing his plan to fall through.

Now confronted and questioned by Mo Hongsheng, Nangong Tianyue felt utterly vexed, and the more this happened, the more relentless he became.

Frank’s restaurant had already been sealed off by police. After extensive searches, the police set up a cordon outside.

With no evidence found, the police appointed two school security guards to guard the site, preventing students from approaching.

Tang Ming swaggered over to the outer side of the cordon, lifted the tape, and prepared to enter the restaurant.

"Stop right there. This area has been sealed off. No one is allowed to approach."

The two security guards hurriedly stepped forward to stop Tang Ming’s actions.

"I’m a student here and need to enter the restaurant to investigate the case, please allow me."

Tang Ming entered the cordon, smiling as he said.

"If you’re a student, go to class. This is not a detective novel. This isn’t something you students can get involved with."

An older security guard sternly reprimanded, "We haven’t even found out why students are fainting here. What if you faint after going in?"

"Kids nowadays really don’t know their limits. Read a few novels and think they are detectives."

The younger security guard looked at Tang Ming with disdain.

Hearing this, Tang Ming felt helpless, yet knowing these two guards were following orders, he didn’t lose his temper.

"I really am here to investigate. If you don’t believe it, I can call Officer Lin from the police station. She knows who I am."

Tang Ming pulled out his phone and prepared to call Lin Xue.

"Officer Lin? Which Officer Lin?"

The young guard looked puzzled at the older guard.

"Lin Xue from the Criminal Investigation Team at the police station."

The older guard frowned. Although not regular military, since the school security department often cooperated with the police, he knew about Lin Xue. Could this kid really know her?

"Hello, Lin Xue? This is Tang Ming. Have you returned to Songlan yet?"

Once the call was connected, Tang Ming asked directly.

Lin Xue asked guardedly, now that she was Tang Xin’s nominal fiancé. Did Tang Ming want to stir up trouble with her?

"Something happened at Frank’s Restaurant at our school. I need to go in to investigate the case, but the two school security guards aren’t letting me. I can’t force my way in. Can you talk to them for me?"

Tang Ming got straight to the point.

Lin Xue breathed a sigh of relief, "Give them the phone; let me have a word with them."

Afterwards, Tang Ming handed his phone to the older guard, and regardless of what Lin Xue said, after the call ended, the security guards let him through.

Tang Ming pocketed his phone and entered Frank’s Restaurant.

Inside, everything in the restaurant remained as it was when the police first arrived, with outlines on the floor marking where students had fainted.

After scanning the scene, Tang Ming walked straight to the table where Li Xiaoli and the others had sat.

Tang Ming arrived at the table Li Xiaoli had specified.

Everything was still on the table, and the partially eaten food of Liu Mengting and the others was covered with cling film or similar, already sealed up.

"Liu Mengting sat in this spot."

Tang Ming sat in the seat Liu Mengting had occupied, curiously examining the things in front of him.

Just as Tang Ming prepared to check the food from Liu Mengting’s perspective, a scream suddenly came from outside.

Startled, Tang Ming quickly rose and headed outside.

There were only the two security guards outside; had they also been poisoned?

At the restaurant entrance, four or five young men in black outfits surrounded the previous guard, kicking and punching him, while the young guard clutched his leg, sitting on the ground, crying out incessantly.

"You damn well dare to block our way, have you got a death wish?"

A dark-skinned, crew-cut youth savagely kicked the older guard, cursing viciously.

"Bastards, we’re school security responsible for maintaining safety. Do you have any respect for the law?"

The young guard clutched his leg, shouting furiously.

"The law? Ha, we are the law. If you dare defy us, that’s against the law. A bunch of temps acting so tough!"
