Chapter 1225: Chapter 1225

"Hehe, thank you, Master. I understand. You should continue playing mahjong and try to win more money."

Tang Ming grinned and quickly hung up the phone.

He knew the old man’s character well; if he truly became interested in him, he might actually come to capture him and take him back.

"Five-star Martial Master it is; it’s still better than having no cultivation at all."

Tang Ming smiled contentedly and began cultivating, controlling the Mutated Dust Gu to heal the injury on his shoulder.

There were no problems with cultivation and practice; the only flaw was that he couldn’t use the Mutated Dust Gu to help the Normal Dust Gu repair the other half of the Dantian. It seemed the two Dust Gu had reached some sort of agreement, each occupying one Dantian without interfering.

Liu Mengting and Li Xiaoli, worried about disturbing Tang Ming’s healing, immediately packed up and moved to Shen Yan’s house.

When Liu Mengting and Li Xiaoli arrived at Shen Yan’s house dragging their suitcases, they were directly stunned by what was in the hall.

"Sister Shen Yan, what are you doing?"

Liu Mengting swallowed hard, incredulously looking at the hall filled with various firearms, weapons, hidden weapons, and explosives.

"Hmph hmph, I’ve been busy with these things these past few days."

Shen Yan snorted coldly, gritting her teeth and said, "That jerk from your family dared to stand me up that day, so I have to carry out assassination actions until I kill him."

Because Tang Ming didn’t show up, Shen Yan decided to continue assassinating Tang Ming, purely out of spite, so she didn’t shy away from Liu Mengting and Li Xiaoli.

"Wow, so many hot weapons and cold weapons, where did you get these?"

Li Xiaoli lowered her suitcase and immediately picked up a Desert Eagle: "I know how to use this gun, sister, can you give it to me?"

"If you like it, take it; I have plenty here."

Shen Yan was very forthright, "By the way, how come you two are here? And you’re carrying suitcases, are you going on vacation?"

"We’re planning to move in and live with you."

Li Xiaoli quickly responded.

"Sister, you shouldn’t think about killing Tang Ming anymore."

Liu Mengting sighed helplessly and said, "Before, he lied to you saying he didn’t have cultivation, but now he truly doesn’t have any."

Shen Yan became puzzled.

"Weren’t you home yesterday?"

Li Xiaoli tucked away the gun and asked curiously.

"Yesterday, I was picking up goods, and it wasn’t easy to transport these things in, so I wasn’t home to monitor your place."

Shen Yan explained candidly, unsure as she asked, "Did anything happen to you?"

"Ah, yesterday we were ambushed, and Brother Tang Ming’s cultivation was crippled by me."

Li Xiaoli awkwardly sighed.

"Seriously? You don’t even know martial arts, how could you possibly cripple his cultivation?"

Shen Yan looked at Li Xiaoli with suspicion.

Liu Mengting gave a bitter smile and recounted yesterday’s events in detail.

"No way? You punctured his Dantian?"

After hearing the story, Shen Yan looked at Li Xiaoli in shock.

Li Xiaoli was so fierce; even though she had no cultivation, she managed to incapacitate several martial masters.

"I didn’t want this either; it’s all Night Meteor and Mo Liuye’s fault, they controlled me."

Li Xiaoli cursed resentfully.

"So Tang Ming is really crippled then, and all these preparations were for nothing?"

Shen Yan looked dejectedly at the murder weapons filling the room; with Tang Ming’s cultivation gone, she couldn’t bring herself to deal with a powerless man.

"Stop thinking about killing him. We plan to move in because we’re worried about interrupting his recovery; is that alright?"

Liu Mengting looked pitiably at Shen Yan.

Shen Yan nodded repeatedly, squinting as she looked out the window.

Unlike Li Xiaoli and Liu Mengting, Shen Yan, as a seasoned assassin, knew that Tang Ming deliberately sent Li Xiaoli and Liu Mengting away because he feared danger close to him.

"You two can choose any room you like here; treat it like your own home, and don’t be shy."

Shen Yan quickly picked up a sniper rifle and ran upstairs.

Now that Tang Ming’s cultivation was gone, surely many people wanted to kill him. To prevent anyone from taking Tang Ming down, Shen Yan decided to covertly protect his safety...

Once that guy’s cultivation recovers, she would continue to personally assassinate him.

"Wow, Sister Shen Yan truly deserves to be an assassin; so many fine weapons, though I can’t use many of them."

Li Xiaoli was very intrigued by the room full of weapons.

"Don’t mess with these things; quickly find a room to settle down—my hand isn’t well yet."

Liu Mengting quickly reminded her.

"Oh oh oh, I’ll settle down first, then I’ll study these weapons."

Li Xiaoli nodded repeatedly and hurried off to choose a room.

After leaving the Liu Family villa, various family forces in Songlan City took different actions.

Chen Fazhong immediately contacted Mo Hongsheng to discuss the transfer of Jun Tianhao Grand Hotel, selling the shares owned by the Chen Family to Mo Hongsheng at a not-high price.

The Ma Family and Li Family began listing their shares in the Tangming Group for sale, intending to sever ties with the Tangming Group.

Zhou Dafu also cashed out the Zhou Family’s holdings in the Tangming Group, distancing the Zhou Family from the Tangming Group. However, Zhou Dafu himself made a shocking decision.

After separating the Zhou Family from the Tangming Group, Zhou Dafu announced his departure from the Zhou Family, severing ties with them completely, while personally retaining his shares in the Tangming Group.

In the Tangming Group’s boardroom, Zhou Jian looked grimly at the empty conference room.

The once lively meeting room now only had him and Zhou Dafu left; the Li Family, Zhou Family, and Ma Family not only cashed out their shares in the Tangming Group, but also withdrew key personnel sent to the Tangming Group from their respective families.

"Old Zhou, given the situation, you should also find a way out for yourself."

Zhou Dafu advised with a desolate expression as he looked at Zhou Jian.

"Why is Young Master Fu cutting ties with his own future?"

Zhou Jian smiled bitterly, puzzled as he looked at Zhou Dafu.

"Me? Heh, without Brother Ming, I’d still be an abandoned wastrel by the Zhou Family. It was Brother Ming who made me the Young Master of the Zhou Family, made me a major shareholder of Tangming Group, made me a big shot in Songlan City..."

As Zhou Dafu spoke, tears began to flow, "Now Brother Ming is dead, but I’m still alive, yet I forced the Zhou Family to withdraw at this time. I let Brother Ming down."

Seeing Zhou Dafu , Zhou Jian opened his mouth, unsure of what to say, everything unspoken.

"Huff huff huff, I’m just a chubby guy without much skill, but I’m loyal. Brother Ming died, leaving behind only the Tangming Group, and if it can’t be saved, then I’ll jump off this building and go find Brother Ming."
