Chapter 1206: Chapter 1206

When Chen Cang stealthily returned to the entrance, he saw the entire An Family residence engulfed in flames, with Old Master An and An Tian nowhere to be found.

"These people are even more ruthless than I am—they actually set the place on fire."

Chen Cang cursed angrily. The methods of those mysterious individuals were clearly more vicious than his, burning the entire An Family estate to the ground without leaving any clues.

It seemed that even if Chen Cang hadn’t caused a commotion at the An Family, those people wouldn’t have let Old Master An off easily. Killing to silence was the best method to keep things confidential.

In the main hall of the Liu Family villa.

Tang Ming looked at the three women with a rueful expression: "Luckily, I made a call. That guy Chen Cang has gone crazy; he actually went to Wubei City and exterminated the An Family. It’s too ruthless."

"Little Cang Cang is so violent, that’s terrifying."

"Hmph, it’s all because of you. Why didn’t you tell Chen Cang that you’re not dead?"

Liu Mengting glared at Tang Ming angrily.

"Tang Ming was killed by someone; someone has to pretend to be sad about it to fool the enemy, right?"

Tang Ming pursed his lips, saying gloomily, "I just didn’t expect Chen Cang to be this ruthless. If I had known, I would’ve told him the truth."

"Then tell him now! Little Cang Cang is also very concerned about Brother Tang Ming. Knowing you were killed would really upset him. Why not just tell him the truth?"

Li Xiaoli sympathetically suggested.

"It’s already , telling him now—could he handle it?"

Tang Ming rubbed his forehead. "Let’s talk about it later when there’s a chance. The identity of Tang Ming indeed needs to be hidden for a while, or else we’ll just be doing meaningless things and wasting time."

"Hmph, are you saying spending time with us is a waste?"

Liu Mengting complained with a snort.

"I didn’t say such a thing; don’t randomly define it, huh."

Tang Ming quickly corrected himself, although he inwardly agreed. Most of his time spent in Songlan had been wasted on Liu Mengting.

He clearly came to call off the engagement, but he ended up becoming Liu Mengting’s bodyguard—what a mess.

"My intention is that if Tang Ming disappears from your side, Chu Batian and Xin Badao will vanish too, then those who wanted to target you would naturally show up. As soon as these people take action again, I’ll take them out from the shadows."

Tang Ming squinted his eyes, revealing his purpose for faking his death: to lure the snake out of the hole.

The Flying Wolf Organization hadn’t acted for a long time; who knew what they were plotting? Rather than passively defending, it’s better to use bait tactics.

Let those who mean harm to Liu Mengting or her associates think Tang Ming and the two Seven-star Martial Masters are dead, and these people will naturally take the initiative.

At that point, just seize the opportunity to root them out completely and eliminate future troubles.

"So, Chen Cang is actually this close to you all."

At this moment, Shen Yan suddenly spoke up, glaring at Tang Ming with disgust: "No wonder all my assassination attempts failed; it turns out he was the undercover agent you planted beside me?"

"I’ve already let you have a free hit; what more do you want?"

Tang Ming shivered, watching Shen Yan vigilantly: "Even the Poison Widow Killer Group isn’t after me now. You’re not planning to kill me again, are you?"

"Hmph, just because the organization doesn’t want you dead, doesn’t mean I don’t. I’m not an assassin for the money."

Shen Yan snorted, got up and started walking out, not even turning her head: "If you were Tang Ming, I’d consider sparing you, but as Tang Xin, you must die."

Tang Ming was at a loss as he watched Shen Yan’s back.

"Heh, when you’re done with your affairs, come to my place, and I’ll tell you why."

Shen Yan turned back and flashed Tang Ming a provocative smile.

"No way, big sis, we’re not meeting up."

Li Xiaoli jumped up and exaggeratedly exclaimed.

Something supposedly serious was made somewhat humorous by Li Xiaoli’s intervention.

"Right, we’re not meeting."

Tang Ming nodded seriously, not believing Shen Yan would truly kill him now.

"The way you handled me during the competition, if you don’t come, bear the consequences."

Shen Yan huffed a sigh, opened the door, and left the room.

"During the competition?"

Tang Ming was puzzled.

"Brother Tang Ming, what have you done to Sister Shen Yan? Why does it seem like she’s a resentful woman?"

Li Xiaoli looked at Tang Ming with curiosity.

"Haha, isn’t it obvious? He definitely took advantage of her."

Liu Mengting smirked coldly.

"Nonsense, how could I..."

Tang Ming stopped halfway through his sentence, remembering when he helped Shen Yan with her gunshot wound during the competition, not only tearing her clothes but also randomly biting her...

"Oh dear, won’t this woman kill to silence me because of this?"

Tang Ming wiped cold sweat from his forehead; given Shen Yan’s personality, it was quite possible she might kill over this incident. It seemed that when on the plane, Shen Yan collaborated with Ouyang Xiao and others to kill him also considering this aspect.

"Bastard, you really did take advantage of her."

Seeing Tang Ming , Liu Mengting was furious.

"Oh dear, Brother Tang Ming truly isn’t a good person. Fortunately, Wei’er didn’t give herself to you; it’s really too insecure."

Li Xiaoli expressed disdain, shaking her head nonstop.

"For this bastard, I’ve stayed up so late; it’s truly not worth it."

Liu Mengting gave a cold snort, got up, and headed upstairs: "Xiaoli, go to sleep. Don’t bother with this bastard."

"Alright, alright, I’m already sleepy."

Li Xiaoli yawned and headed upstairs.

"This situation is really hard to handle, but at that time, I was trying to save her; I can’t be killed over such a matter, right?"

Tang Ming sighed continuously, too caught up in worrying about Shen Yan’s renewed killer intent to care about the grievances of the two ladies.

Just then, Shen Yan’s left-behind phone rang.

"Hissss, calling so soon to urge me already?"

Tang Ming swallowed hard, reluctantly answering the call, thinking it was Shen Yan pushing him.

"Group Leader Tang, I’ve been attacked."

Upon connection, Chen Cang’s anxious voice came through.

"Chen Cang? What happened?"

Tang Ming furrowed his brow, sitting up straight: "Who attacked you?"

"Four mysterious people wearing hoods. I don’t know their identities."

Chen Cang reported truthfully.

"But you’re a Seven-star Martial Master; what was their strength?"

Tang Ming’s expression turned serious, as the mastermind was finally making a move.

"Four Six-star Martial Masters, but their techniques were very peculiar, and they knew how to coordinate. I wasn’t their match and got injured."

Chen Cang sighed, saying reluctantly, "After escaping, I returned to the scene only to find the An Family had been burned."

"What about Old Master An?"

Tang Ming quickly asked.
