Chapter 1255: Chapter 1255

"Although I don’t know who you are, you must be the one who killed my brother, and the mastermind behind my previous ambush, right?"

Tang Ming quickly spoke to ease the situation, while turning to look at Iron Man.

Iron Man immediately ordered to activate the phone tracking device, aiming to trace the opponent’s location.

"That’s right, it’s me. I know your people are trying to track my location. Let’s cut to the chase, Wu Xiaoyu is in my hands. Do you want to rescue her?"

"Cut the crap, what exactly do you want?"

Tang Ming straightforwardly demanded.

"Straightforward! You don’t need to trace anymore. In two hours, come alone to Laojun Mountain to exchange for Wu Xiaoyu. Remember, alone. If I find anyone else following, then expect to receive more thrilling videos and photos."

After finishing, the opponent hung up the phone.

"How is it? Did you trace the signal?"

Tang Ming immediately turned to Iron Man.

"Just one second more, we could have traced the signal."

Iron Man sighed helplessly, and said with trepidation, "This shows that the opponent is a master of anti-tracking, very familiar with our tactics, and precisely controlled the call time."

"Know yourself and know your enemy, and you will never be defeated. The fact that the opponent can repeatedly push me into desperate situations shows that they must know me quite well."

Tang Ming squinted his eyes, and said coldly, "Unfortunately, I know nothing about them. This feeling is truly infuriating."

"Group Leader, what should we do now?"

Iron Man looked at Tang Ming with concern.

"I’ll make a trip to the lab. You should do what you need to do; this matter no longer concerns you."

As soon as he finished speaking, Tang Ming immediately left the scene.

Iron Man watched Tang Ming’s back, his eyes full of worry, having just heard the content of that call himself.

The enemy had obviously set a trap for Tang Ming, waiting for him to jump in, but seeing Tang Ming’s determination, he intended to go straight into danger, risking life and limb.

After hesitating for a moment, Iron Man immediately called Chu Batian, as this matter must be known to those close to Tang Ming.

With his status, he had neither the power nor the qualification to dissuade Tang Ming. Only by letting Chu Batian and others know the situation might a turning point be possible.

When Tang Ming arrived at the secret lab, he locked himself in a high-tech laboratory, ready to make preparations.

Since the opponent was well-prepared, even if he went, it was likely to be a perilous situation.

He might not necessarily be able to rescue Wu Xiaoyu, and he might even lose himself. So he had to prepare in advance, even if he couldn’t escape death, he must find a way to rescue Wu Xiaoyu.

An hour later, Tang Ming walked out of the lab, his eyes filled with resolve.

Just as he stepped out, Liu Mengting, Li Xiaoli, and Chu Batian surrounded him.

"Why are you all here?"

Tang Ming looked at the group in surprise.

"Iron Man told me about it."

Chu Batian quickly responded, looking at Tang Ming with concern, "Group Leader, are you really going to take the risk alone?"

"Yes, yes, the opponent is clearly letting you fall into the trap. Brother Tang Ming, you mustn’t fall for it."

Li Xiaoli stared nervously at Tang Ming.

"I know there’s danger involved, but Wu Xiaoyu’s situation is far more dangerous than mine. If I don’t go, she might suffer worse than death."

Tang Ming squinted his eyes, muttering helplessly.

"But you shouldn’t risk your life to save Wu Xiaoyu, right?"

Liu Mengting looked at Tang Ming with reproach and said through gritted teeth, "If something happens to you, what am I supposed to do?"

"Do what you have to do, just pretend I never existed."

Tang Ming slightly frowned, unwilling to take a reckless risk unless absolutely necessary. But now, there’s no choice!

"Are we really just ordinary friends?"

Liu Mengting looked at Tang Ming with tears in her eyes, holding onto his arm: "I’m begging you, can’t you not go?"

"I’m begging you too, as long as you don’t go sacrificing yourself, I’ll behave and stop making trouble, won’t that suffice?"

Li Xiaoli looked at Tang Ming pitifully and pleaded.

"Sorry, I have to do what I’m responsible for."

Tang Ming shook his head firmly and said, "Just like when you face danger, I would also risk my life to save you. Fear of death is not in my nature."

"Why are you so stubborn?"

Liu Mengting stomped her foot anxiously.

Tang Ming waved his hand to interrupt Liu Mengting, stepped forward, hugged her, and then brushed aside her bangs: "Miss Liu, I’m not a fool. I understand your feelings for me. I also like living with you, but I’ve never expressed anything to you for fear one day something would happen."

Liu Mengting stiffened, blushing as she asked.

"I mean I will eventually leave, and I don’t want to bring you sadness and pain when I do, so I can’t deeply involve myself with anyone, especially you."

Tang Ming spoke solemnly.

He knew clearly that his purpose in coming to Songlan City was to break off the engagement with Liu Mengting, so rather than revealing it sooner or later, he cannot have any improper thoughts about her before the engagement is annulled—not even until the engagement is...

"What about Wei’er then?"

Li Xiaoli protested loudly: "Why can you have feelings for Fei’er?"

"Hehe, Wei’er has already gone missing for me, which is the result of my feelings. If she didn’t like me, she should be living a peaceful life now."

Tang Ming chuckled bitterly, released Liu Mengting, and hugged Li Xiaoli: "Xiaoli, after I’m gone, without me to support and clean up after your mistakes, please don’t be mischievous anymore. Otherwise, you might one day offend someone you shouldn’t, and cause real trouble."

"Wah, I understand, I understand."

Li Xiaoli cried loudly, clinging to Tang Ming’s body.

"The time has come. I must go rescue Wu Xiaoyu, we may not meet again."

As soon as he spoke, Tang Ming released Li Xiaoli and turned to leave.

Li Xiaoli and Liu Mengting simultaneously hugged Tang Ming’s body.

"I don’t care about moral codes or guilt; I just don’t want to watch you go sacrifice yourself."

Liu Mengting exclaimed excitedly: "I know this is unfair to Wu Xiaoyu and very selfish, but I really don’t want to lose you."

"Me too, wah. If it were me, I’d rather die than drag Brother Tang Ming down. Wu Xiaoyu feels the same, don’t go risking your life, please."

Li Xiaoli also kept crying and shouting.

"Let go, I can’t stand by and do nothing."

Tang Ming struggled helplessly to break free.

"No! Over my dead body!"

The two women shouted in unison.
