Chapter 1181: Chapter 1181

Just as the group was about to clash, two people walked out from the hotel.

One was An Sheng in a white suit, the other a young man in black, the same one who had killed Niu Fei earlier.

"Who are you people, daring to cause trouble in a place sealed off by our Ming Group?"

The young man in black approached, looking Chen Cang and the others over in confusion.

"Who are you, and can you manage?"

Xin Badao squinted, uncertainly watching the young man in black.

"I am Yan Qinglong, the head of the Special Combat Department of the Ming Group, currently in charge of all matters here."

After introducing himself, Yan Qinglong said coldly, "If you don’t have a reasonable explanation, assaulting government officials will be a serious crime."

"Hehe, I am Xin Badao, the deputy group leader of the Dark Group’s Martial Arts Inspection Team."

Xin Badao pulled out a credential, smirking at Yan Qinglong, "I just asked to see the person in charge here, and your men not only didn’t report it but also spoke disrespectfully. I helped teach them a lesson. Is there a problem?"

"People from the Dark Group’s Martial Arts Inspection Team?"

Yan Qinglong’s expression slightly changed; the entire Ming Group knew now that the people from the Dark Group were trouble, and among them, those from the Martial Arts Inspection Team, where Tang Xin belonged, were the hardest to deal with.

It was said that Tang Xin was arrogant, but it turned out his subordinates were just as arrogant.

"Since we all are colleagues here, may I know what instructions you have?"

After confirming the authenticity of the credentials, Yan Qinglong immediately asked with a smile.

"We want to know what is happening here?"

Xin Badao put away the credential and asked in confusion, "Why did the Ming Group suddenly lock down Jun Tianhao Hotel?"

"Sorry, according to organizational rules, matters the Ming Group handles are not something the Dark Group can inquire about."

Yan Qinglong responded neither humbly nor arrogantly.

Xin Badao frowned; after all, he did not have the same boldness as Tang Ming to disregard the rules. More importantly, Tang Ming was not here, and as a deputy group leader, he only had to answer to Tang Ming; he couldn’t contact the Dark Group’s higher-ups.

"Haha, even if there’s such a rule, this Jun Tianhao Hotel is my disciple’s property. Now that you’ve sealed off his hotel, you have to provide an explanation, right?"

Chu Batian leisurely spoke, assertively questioning.

"And our group leader’s brother also has shares in this hotel. Your current actions are tantamount to encroaching on the Tang Family’s property. If there isn’t a proper explanation, our leader Tang will personally come and negotiate with you."

Xin Badao quickly added.

"Cough, cough, that’s really not necessary."

Upon hearing this, Yan Qinglong’s face changed dramatically. That Tang Xin was someone even those above could not handle. If he truly came personally, the consequences would be beyond what he could bear.

"Are you the owner of this hotel?"

Yan Qinglong uncertainly looked at Chen Cang.

"That’s right, Jun Tianhao Hotel is my property. You have it sealed; you must give me an explanation, right?"

Chen Cang stepped forward, protesting discontentedly.

"Is he the owner here?"

Yan Qinglong was slightly taken aback, looking at An Sheng uncertainly.

"He’s called Chen Cang and is indeed one of the managers of Jun Tianhao Hotel."

An Sheng quickly reported truthfully.

Yan Qinglong suddenly nodded, "In that case, I’ll tell you why we sealed your hotel. This afternoon, there were successive cases of employees and guests getting poisoned at Jun Tianhao Hotel. According to our investigation, this is the source of the mass poisoning incident of Songlan City’s citizens earlier. To prevent the widespread transmission of the virus, it is necessary to seal off this place now."

"This place is the source of the virus transmission?"

Chen Cang’s eyes widened in disbelief as he shouted, "Impossible, when people elsewhere were getting poisoned earlier, not a single person at the hotel was. How could it be the source?"

"Regardless of how you explain it, there are now over a hundred people poisoned inside, and the situation is very serious."

An Sheng spoke slowly, "Now, to prevent viral transmission, we can only bring medical equipment to the hotel, and cannot transport patients to the hospital to avoid spreading the virus on the way."

"Master, what do we do now?"

Chen Cang hastily looked at Xin Badao and Chu Batian.

"I also don’t know what to do. Where is the Poison Leader now? Only he can handle this situation."

Xin Badao furrowed his brow in distress.

Li Xiaoli held up a phone, "Since this afternoon, Brother Tang Ming’s phone hasn’t been reachable; we don’t know where he is either."

"Should I go in and check the situation?"

Chen Cang hesitated for a moment before gritting his teeth and saying, "The employees and guests inside need reassurance. As the hotel manager, I can’t stay out of it."

"We’ll go in with you."

Xin Badao thought for a moment and decided to go in with Chen Cang to check the situation.

"We want to go in too, we want to go in too."

Li Xiaoli excitedly shouted.

"Xiaoli, don’t cause trouble."

Liu Mengting quickly grabbed Li Xiaoli, apprehensively saying, "I was poisoned before, and it was incredibly dangerous. We shouldn’t take the risk of going in."

Chu Batian nodded, squinting as he said, "Chen Cang and the two ladies should stay outside. The Sect Master and I will go in to check the situation. After all, we are in Poison Cultivation and not so easily poisoned."

"Yes! Such a major incident in the hotel will undoubtedly cause a stir."

Xin Badao nodded, rationally analyzing, "Chen Cang, as the hotel manager, has many matters to deal with and also needs to ensure the safety of the two ladies. Leave the situation inside to Old Chu and me."

"There’s no ’but.’ Without the Poison Leader, we have a responsibility to find out the situation and ensure the safety of Jun Tianhao Hotel."

Xin Badao interrupted Chen Cang, assertively saying, "And as the deputy group leader of the Dark Group’s Martial Arts Inspection Team, I have an obligation to figure out what’s going on."

"Gentlemen, the situation inside is extremely dangerous right now. Are you sure you want to go in?"

Yan Qinglong squinted, uncertainly looking at Xin Badao and Chu Batian, as they were important figures in the Dark Group’s Martial Arts Inspection Team. If they died inside... that would be a big gain.

"We are from the Dark Group and should have the right to go in and check, shouldn’t we?"

Xin Badao coldly looked at Yan Qinglong, "Even if you want to stop us, you probably can’t prevent us from forcing our way in."

"If you two officers want to go in and check, we naturally won’t stop you."

Yan Qinglong smiled faintly, stepping aside, "But let me say this first, the situation inside is very dangerous. If you get infected after going in, our Ming Group will not take responsibility. If Group Leader Tang Xin blames us later, don’t come looking for trouble with us Ming Group."
