Chapter 1210: Chapter 1210

"The secret base of the Poison Sect is right here, built within the manor."

Xin Badao promptly stepped forward to report the situation.

"Interesting, constructing a secret base in a place full of tombs, an ordinary person wouldn’t notice at all."

Tang Ming squinted his eyes and said with a smile, "Lead your men inside."

Xin Badao and Chu Batian responded and immediately charged into the manor with a large group of men.

Although the secret base of the Ming Group was constructed with great secrecy and heavily guarded, the people of the Ming Group couldn’t withstand the powerful high-level martial masters like Xin Badao and Chu Batian.

Half an hour later, the battle ended.

Tang Ming strode into the manor, looking at the courtyard full of severely injured Ming Group members, and shouted loudly, "All of you, get out of the manor. This place has been requisitioned by our Dark Group."

"Tang Xin, how dare you bring people to cause trouble at our Ming Group’s secret base? Do you even respect the law?"

Yang Bupo, with blood at the corners of his mouth, was lying on the ground, angrily staring at Tang Ming. His hatred for this bully was boundless.

Yan Qinglong and Lengzhan were also grievously injured by Xin Badao and lay beside Yang Bupo with faces full of anger and frustration.

"The law? If the law actually existed, my brother Tang Ming wouldn’t have been killed."

Tang Ming sneered coldly, looking at the three with an expressionless face, "I am now investigating the cause of my brother’s death and suspect that you are harboring the murderer here. Therefore, I need to requisition this place to investigate my brother’s cause of death."

Yang Bupo’s expression changed slightly, then he gritted his teeth and shouted, "What does your brother’s murder have to do with us? You have no evidence and yet you dare to attack the Ming Group’s secret base. I will surely report you to the higher-ups."

"Report me? Very well, call Fu Tianyou right now. I’ll talk to him personally."

Tang Ming disdainfully curled his lips, unwilling to waste words on these small fry.

"Fine, just you wait."

Yang Bupo immediately pulled out his phone and dialed Fu Tianyou’s number.

For the past few days, Fu Tianyou had been enjoying himself greatly. Although he hadn’t managed to kill Tang Xin, he did kill Tang Xin’s brother, which was a cause for celebration given his hatred for Tang Xin.

Just as he was contentedly sitting in his office opening a file, the office phone suddenly rang.

"Hello, this is Fu Tianyou."

Once the call was connected, Fu Tianyou spoke with a smiling face.

"Deputy Director, it’s Yang Bupo."

Yang Bupo suppressed his anger, gritting his teeth as he said, "Tang Xin from the Dark Group led people to storm the recently built secret base of ours in Songlan City. Lengzhan, Yan Qinglong, and I were all severely injured. You must uphold justice for us."

"How did he find out about the secret base in Songlan City? What the hell is he up to?"

Fu Tianyou’s expression changed drastically, asking cautiously.

"He said he wants to investigate Tang Ming’s cause of death, which is completely unreasonable. If you don’t intervene, this place will be occupied by him again."

Yang Bupo called out miserably.

"Bastard, outrageous."

Fu Tianyou cursed angrily, "Pass the phone to him, I want to talk to him."

Yang Bupo handed the phone to Tang Ming.

Taking the phone, Tang Ming said coldly.

"Tang Xin, what exactly do you want? Why are you unreasonably attacking my Ming Group’s base?"

Fu Tianyou gritted his teeth and shouted.

"Unreasonably? Hmph, my brother was murdered. According to our investigation, in addition to my brother, several Dark Group members were also assassinated, including a member named Niu Fei. Do you know about this?"

Tang Ming asked calmly.

"How would I know about these things? It’s not like I did it."

Fu Tianyou immediately became cautious; he knew Yan Qinglong had led people to kill a few Dark Group members to silence them but didn’t understand why Tang Ming suddenly asked about this issue.

"I know it wasn’t you, otherwise, I wouldn’t just be making a scene here."

Tang Ming sneered, casting an unfriendly glance at Yang Bupo and others, "According to my investigation, someone saw the murderers of Niu Fei and others hiding in this manor. I will investigate each one until I find out who the murderer is."

"What do you mean by that? Could it be you think it was the Ming Group that killed your brother?"

Fu Tianyou asked indignantly, though internally, he was already in turmoil.

Nangong Tianyue’s plan to deal with Tang Ming was seemingly flawless, but now Tang Ming was unexpectedly investigating from people like Niu Fei. If he truly found out that Yan Qinglong killed Niu Fei, the Ming Group would be exposed.

If Tang Xin found out it was the Ming Group that killed his brother, given Tang Xin’s way of doing things, the Ming Group would be in big trouble.

"I never said that, but now that you’re stopping me from investigating Tang Ming’s cause of death and the murderer, I have reason to suspect you have a guilty conscience."

Tang Ming squinted his eyes and said boldly, "I now need to seal off the entire manor for a detailed investigation. You must immediately withdraw the Ming Group’s people, or I will cripple them all."

"Then how long do you plan to keep it sealed?"

Fu Tianyou gritted his teeth and asked.

"Haha, it depends on when I can find out the cause of my brother’s death."

Tang Ming sneered, "Unless I find out who the murderer is, I will dig three feet into this manor."

"Fine, in that case, take your time. Once you find out, return the base to the Ming Group then."

Fu Tianyou said reluctantly, "This time, I am fully cooperating with your investigation, so you can’t call my Ming Group the murderer."

"Whether they are the murderer or not, I’ll only know after my investigation."

After speaking, Tang Ming tossed the phone back to Yang Bupo.

"Deputy Director, what should we do now?"

Yang Bupo asked urgently.

"Quickly withdraw your men from the base."

Fu Tianyou hurriedly reminded, they absolutely can’t let Tang Ming find out about Yan Qinglong and the others being involved in Niu Fei’s murder, or things will really blow up.

Hearing this order, Yang Bupo breathed a sigh of relief. Faced with the aggressive Tang Ming and others, he had no courage to resist.

Subsequently, the members of the Ming Group fled the manor in disarray, handing over such a fine base to Tang Ming for nothing.

"How gratifying, immediately have people from the Poison Sect surround the manor with poison, and the Dark Group will take over this base. From now on, this will be our Martial Arts Inspection Team’s secret base."

Tang Ming laughed heartily, finally venting his frustration.

Tang Ming knew very well that the Ming Group was definitely one of the conspirators in the previous scheme. Unfortunately, he had no evidence and couldn’t openly seek revenge.

Now he could only seize the Ming Group’s territory with these rogue tactics, and even if he didn’t return it, Fu Tianyou would be too guilty to resist.
