Chapter 1237: Chapter 1237

"Otherwise? Now that your cultivation has been crippled, you are just an ordinary person. It seems you don’t even have the qualifications to meet the head of the Long Family, right?"

Long Qin leaned back on the sofa, saying arrogantly, "I think my father should have just made a call to inquire. There was no need to send someone all the way here. Now it’s making me, the eldest miss of the Long Family, come to see a cripple, what a waste."

"Hehe, the Long Family really looks down on me now."

Tang Ming let out a peculiar laugh.

"A cripple like you, what’s there for the Long Family to look up to?"

Long Qin watched Tang Ming with interest, "When you visited the Long Family back then, you were so arrogant. Didn’t expect you’d end up , did you?"

"I really didn’t expect the Long Family to be so snobbish, this time I’ve learned my lesson."

Tang Ming nodded with a deep sense of understanding.

"Snobbish? The Long Family was the top family in the Dark Group faction, and now they can only follow the Su Family’s lead. Why would they want to please you, a great contributor to the Su Family?"

Long Qin looked at Tang Ming with disdain.

"Since that’s the case, there’s nothing more to say. The Long Family is powerful, and I, Tang, cannot afford to associate with it."

Tang Ming gave a cold smile and stood up to leave.

"Hehe, you’re still so arrogant even now. Deserved to have your cultivation crippled."

Long Qin laughed coldly, saying impatiently, "Now that your cultivation is gone, you urgently need a backing for support. My father said that in light of your contribution in winning the martial arts competition for the Dark Group, the Long Family is willing to offer you shelter. Let me know when you’re available to go to the Imperial City and seek a position in the Long Family."

"That’s not necessary."

Tang Ming looked at Long Qin with disdain and said word by word, "A real man would rather break than bend. Even though my cultivation has been crippled, even if I had to beg, I would never do it at the Long Family’s doorstep."

"Oh, you still have some backbone. It’s a pity that a cripple is just a cripple. I guess it’s the Su Family or Lin Family that agreed to provide protection, right?"

Long Qin mocked sarcastically, "But it makes sense. With the Su Family, the top family in the Imperial City, backing you, you don’t need the Long Family to meddle. But unfortunately, the Su Family is not as strong as our Long Family now, you better think it over."

"There’s nothing to think about. From now on, the line between us is clear, and we have no further relationship."

Tang Ming snorted coldly, turned, and walked away.

"Arrogant, you’ll have time to cry sooner or later."

Long Qin watched Tang Ming’s back, sneering with disdain.

Leaving the Long Family’s room, Tang Ming let out a long sigh. Although the dealings with the other families were quite odd, the attitude of the Long Family made him very unhappy.

In the end, there is still an ungrateful family in the Dark Group faction, this time he saw it clearly.

After dealing with the four major families, Tang Ming did not return to the villa but instead went to Tangming Group.

Zhou Dafu and Zhou Jian, upon hearing that Tang Xin had arrived, quickly came out to greet him and brought him to the group’s conference room.

Looking at the large conference room, with only Zhou Dafu and Zhou Jian holding the fort, Tang Ming felt somewhat pained. The tree has fallen, and the monkeys have scattered.

"Young Master Tang, this is how it is. After knowing that your cultivation was crippled, all the family forces in Songlan City withdrew their shares."

Zhou Jian reported the situation to Tang Ming helplessly.

"To protect the Zhou Family, I also had the Zhou Family withdraw from Tangming Group, but I have already cut ties with the Zhou Family. Even if I die, I will live and die with Tangming Group."

Zhou Dafu sat in his chair, firmly stating his stance.

"Me too. Young Master Tang may have left, but no matter what, Fushao and I will not let his company fall."

"Sigh! My big brother can rest in peace on the other side, having such loyal brothers like you two."

Tang Ming sighed with emotion. Coming to Songlan City was not in vain, as there were still these two reliable folks.

No, there’s also Chen Cang.

That guy was deeply affected after Tang Ming’s demise and had to leave Songlan City to calm down his emotions.

"Young Master Tang, don’t worry! You are Young Master Tang Ming’s younger brother. Even without cultivation, there is this enormous Tangming Group here to earn you money. Once I have control over the situation, I will definitely continue to accumulate wealth for you."

Zhou Jian looked at Tang Ming with resolute eyes.

Tang Ming shook his head and sighed, "Without absolute power as a guarantee, Tangming Group will eventually be swallowed by someone..."

"No, as long as I’m undead, I will never let Tangming Group collapse."

Zhou Dafu shouted ferociously.

Tang Ming gave Zhou Dafu an exasperated look, "My brother and my enemies are those who are not constrained by laws and mundane rules. They can make you two disappear with a simple move. This unnecessary persistence is just courting death."

Zhou Dafu was at a loss for words.

"I’m not afraid! I’m ready to fight to the end, even at the cost of my life."

Zhou Jian resolutely expressed his stance.

"I’m not afraid either. After all, I’ve already profited."

Zhou Dafu hesitated for a moment, then gritted his teeth and shouted, "Without Brother Ming, I couldn’t have enjoyed such long-lasting wealth and glory. It’s just right that I die to accompany him, so he won’t be lonely down there."

"You two are so stubborn!"

Seeing these two guys determined to die, Tang Ming was left speechless.

"Death is just death, what’s there to be afraid of."

Zhou Dafu shrugged indifferently.

"I’m really impressed with you. I’ve decided to sell the entire Tangming Group, both of you are responsible for carrying it out."

Tang Ming explained his decision helplessly.

Zhou Dafu and Zhou Jian both got agitated, "This is Brother Ming’s hard work, how can you sell it?"

"Exactly, if Young Master Tang Ming knows that I allowed his company to fall, I wouldn’t have the face to see him even if I die."

Zhou Jian shouted with reddened eyes.

"Don’t get excited, don’t get excited."

Tang Ming hurriedly calmed the two down and, feeling helpless, bit his lip, "I’ll tell you a secret."

"No secret is more important than Tangming Group. You’re just Brother Ming’s younger brother; you have no right to sell Tangming Group, I disagree."

Zhou Dafu shouted emotionally with tears in his voice.

"I disagree too. The day Tangming Group changes hands will be the day I atone for my sins."

Zhou Jian shouted through gritted teeth.

Tang Ming slapped the table, unable to hide it any longer.

The two were dumbfounded at the same time, staring at Tang Ming in disbelief.

"I am Tang Ming, Tang Xin is Tang Ming."

Tang Ming smiled and repeated it.

"Impossible, Brother Ming is dead. I saw his body buried with my own eyes."

Zhou Dafu shook his head continuously, "You must be trying to trick us into selling the company by saying this."

"Yes, that’s got to be it."

Zhou Jian also nodded quickly.

"Fatty, do you remember the little yellow book we watched during class? And how’s your fiancée Moli doing now?"
