Chapter 1199: Chapter 1199

Li Xiaoli widened her eyes, incredulously inspecting Tang Ming.

"How is this possible?"

Liu Mengting was also confused, wondering if this person was really just someone who looked identical to Tang Ming.

"Whatever, they’re my brother’s slippers anyway. I’ll make do."

Seeing no one pay him any attention, Tang Ming resignedly put on the slippers, walked to the sofa, and sat across from Liu Mengting and the other two women.

Ever since he entered, Tang Ming had been intentionally hinting that he wasn’t Tang Ming, aiming to make the three women believe he was Tang Xin, Tang Ming’s younger brother.

"Are you really not Tang Ming?"

Li Xiaoli stared at Tang Xin, suspiciously questioning.

"I’m truly not Tang Ming."

Tang Ming smiled and looked at Shen Yan, "This lady has dealt with me before, you should know I’m Tang Xin, right?"

Li Xiaoli and Liu Mengting promptly looked towards Shen Yan.

Shen Yan nodded, frowned, and said, "In January, I saw Tang Xin in the Imperial City. It was Tang Ming who introduced him, but the two brothers are twins, and I couldn’t tell who was who at the time."

"What’s so hard to distinguish? My big brother is just a student in business, and I’m an official special department employee, that’s it."

Tang Ming immediately took out his credentials and handed them to Liu Mengting and Li Xiaoli. "Look closely, ID card, work certificate..."

"So it really is Tang Xin."

Liu Mengting and Li Xiaoli quickly checked, shocked beyond belief.

"Wait a minute! Tang Ming has never mentioned having a brother."

Li Xiaoli still refused to believe.

"Exactly! Tang Ming said he was an orphan, so how can there suddenly be a brother? I don’t believe it."

Liu Mengting was also suspicious.

"This is because of my work nature. I’m a high-level official in a special department; my identity must remain confidential. The fewer people know about me, the safer my brother and I are. Otherwise, many would find trouble with my brother to deal with me."

Tang Ming lied with a straight face.

"Then, where is Tang Ming now?"

Li Xiaoli had a bad premonition, immediately asking nervously.

Shen Yan and Liu Mengting also suddenly became tense.

"Sigh, that’s also why I came here, you need to prepare yourselves mentally."

Tang Ming showed a sorrowful expression.

"What happened to Tang Ming?"

The three women asked simultaneously, then stared intently at Tang Ming.

"My brother was set up and has passed away."

Tang Ming gritted his teeth to announce the harsh truth; to handle the matter, he had no choice but to deceive temporarily.

"Impossible, how could he die? He’s the Divine Doctor himself, and he even had Chu Batian and Xin Badao, the masters, protecting him. How could he die?"

Liu Mengting exclaimed excitedly.

"You wouldn’t be Tang Ming, joking with us, would you?"

Li Xiaoli, tears welling up, stared at Tang Ming, "Stop joking, this isn’t funny at all."

"Do I seem like I’m joking?"

Tang Ming bit his lip, helplessly replied: "Chu Batian and Xin Badao were bodyguards I sent to protect my big brother, but... they’re also dead now."

"What? Those two seven-star martial masters are dead too?"

Shen Yan, incredulous, widened her eyes; they were two seven-star martial masters, even the Poison Widow couldn’t deal with such strong masters, how could they suddenly all die.

Tang Ming, after some hesitation, took out several photos and, steeling his heart, placed them on the table. "My big brother died horribly; I don’t want you to see him in his final state, but if you don’t believe, you can take a look."

Liu Mengting eagerly raised her head to look at the photos.

"You better not look, it’s too horrible."

Tang Ming quickly blocked the photos, his heart conflicting; this was too cruel for Liu Mengting and Li Xiaoli.

Having seen such scenes before, Shen Yan directly pushed aside Tang Ming’s hand, grabbed the photos.

After seeing the photos, Shen Yan’s face instantly paled.

"How is it? Is it Tang Ming?"

Li Xiaoli held down Liu Mengting, nervously looking at Shen Yan.

"I don’t know, the photo is so gruesome that it’s hard to recognize."

Shen Yan quickly covered the corpse in the photo, revealing the broken cell phone: "Check if this is Tang Ming’s phone?"

Li Xiaoli immediately moved forward to observe, then nodded vigorously: "Yes, yes, this is Tang Ming’s phone, the chain on it is the gift I gave Tang Ming! How is he? Hurry, move your hand away."

Shen Yan was struck hard, unable to believe that person was truly dead.

"Don’t keep it hidden, let me see what’s going on?"

Liu Mengting forcefully pushed aside Li Xiaoli, grabbed the photos.

Tang Ming tried to stop her, but it was already too late.

Seeing the mutilated corpse in the photo, Liu Mengting and Li Xiaoli both screamed.

Liu Mengting screamed once, her eyes rolled back, and she fainted.

"Is this even human?"

Li Xiaoli stammered, looking at the photo, not fainting but terrified by the bloody scene.

"I told you not to look, it’s too horrible."

Tang Ming sighed helplessly, inwardly determined, needing to deal with this quickly for the mission.

"What really happened? Why did Tang Ming die so horribly?"

Shen Yan gritted her teeth, glaring at Tang Ming.

"Why, why, everything was fine before, how did it suddenly become ?"

Li Xiaoli held the unconscious Liu Mengting, wailing: "If we knew, we wouldn’t have interrupted him and Wei’er, let them enjoy themselves at home rather than this."

"Accept fate, he was my only family, I’m suffering more than any of you."

Tang Ming rubbed his eyebrows with a sad face, then recounted how Tang Ming was killed.

"I don’t know who killed my big brother. When I found the secret base through my intuition and broke into the chamber, he was already like that."

Tang Ming concluded, "Because of our intuition, I’m certain it’s my big brother. If I find out who killed him, I’ll tear them to pieces."

"With him gone, what’s the point of talking? Aren’t you the high-ranking member of the Dark Group? How could you let Tang Ming meet such a fate?"

Shen Yan yelled angrily at Tang Ming.

"I’ve already sent masters to protect him, but the problem is that the two seven-star martial masters are dead. This time, the mastermind behind it was clever, used treachery to kill my big brother."

Tang Ming explained helplessly.
