Chapter 1299: Chapter 1299

Tang Ming hurriedly asked.

"It’s just that I won’t have much time in Songlan City, and won’t be able to personally manage the business. You should prepare for potential losses."

"Tch, am I afraid of losing money?"

Tang Ming nonchalantly curled his lips. With his current wealth, he didn’t really care about Jun Tianhao’s Grand Hotel, but the fact that it was taken away when he disappeared bothered him, which was why he wanted to take it back.

"By the way, where are you going? Why are you leaving Songlan City?"

After a moment of silence, Tang Ming looked at Mo Hongsheng in confusion.

"What month is it now?"

Mo Hongsheng looked at Tang Ming strangely.

Tang Ming was even more bewildered.

"The college entrance exam is on June 8th. After that, of course, I’m going to college and will have to leave Songlan City."

Mo Hongsheng rolled his eyes at Tang Ming.

"I forgot about that."

Tang Ming’s face turned a bit dark, it seemed Liu Mengting and Li Xiaoli were also going to take the college entrance exams.

"Do you have anything else?"

Mo Hongsheng curiously looked at Tang Ming.

"Seems like there’s nothing else."

Tang Ming thought for a moment, uncertainly muttering.

"If there’s nothing, then please go ahead. Surely you don’t expect me to treat you to a meal?"

Mo Hongsheng slowly stood up and walked towards the desk.

Tang Ming nodded and stood up to leave.

After walking out of the office, Tang Ming finally realized, "Damn, I came to confront him, so why was I being led by the nose from the moment I walked in? This is so frustrating!"

Though he was annoyed, the situation had already reached this point. Tang Ming was too embarrassed to go back to make trouble for Mo Hongsheng and could only leave in frustration.

Liu Mengting and Li Xiaoli had already returned home, sitting on the sofa reading and doing exercises.

Liu Mengting was very focused, while Li Xiaoli would occasionally look up at Liu Mengting. Seeing Liu Mengting study so seriously, she would helplessly lower her head and continue her exercises.

After some time, the door opened, and Tang Ming came in stretching.

"Brother Tang Ming is back, time to relax and eat!"

Li Xiaoli immediately tossed her book aside, stood up excitedly, and cheered.

"So you’ve finally found an excuse to slack off."

Liu Mengting glanced at Li Xiaoli worriedly and said, "You’ve already missed so many classes, and with just one month left until the college entrance exams, it’s really concerning."

"Don’t worry, with our intelligence, we’ll definitely get into college. If we can’t get into top-tier universities, there’re always second-tier ones, or even vocational schools."

Li Xiaoli stretched leisurely, in quite a relaxed mindset.

"Ladies, what’s for lunch?"

Tang Ming sat across from the two, anticipatingly saying, "It’s been a long time since I’ve had a home-cooked meal. We must ask Uncle Quan to prepare more dishes."

"Hehe, are you Tang Xin now, or Tang Ming?"

Liu Mengting looked at Tang Ming with a sarcastic smile.

"Cough cough, Miss, please don’t mock me about that."

Tang Ming gave an awkward smile and seriously said, "Tang Xin is missing, and now I’m Tang Ming, needing to find my missing brother’s whereabouts."

"Oh, Brother Tang Ming, you’re so bad. Sometimes you’re Tang Xin, sometimes Tang Ming, it’s really confusing!"

Li Xiaoli complained discontentedly.

"What’s so confusing about it? Tang Xin and Tang Ming are the same person, just as long as they don’t disappear at whim."

Liu Mengting casually glanced at Tang Ming, "You were gone all day. Were you out there messing around with some woman again?"

"I’d like to, but Wei’er left, and no one else interests me."

Tang Ming shook his head helplessly, wondering how Wei’er was doing over at Rainbow Cloud Peak.

"Hey, Brother Tang Ming, are you blind? Even though Wei’er is gone, Meng Meng and I, two beautiful ladies, are still around. Don’t you have any thoughts?"

Li Xiaoli protested dissatisfiedly.

"Hehe, how do you want to mess around with me?"

Tang Ming mischievously eyed Li Xiaoli’s chest, staring at those two bountiful forms, "Want to play basketball with me?"

"As long as you dare, I’m not bothered!"

Li Xiaoli instantly puffed out her chest and boasted, "I’ve researched a lot on how to have fun with a big chest; want to try?"

"You little rascal, stop talking nonsense."

Liu Mengting glared at Li Xiaoli in annoyance. This girl, having idled away at the Medicine Sect, indeed picked up a good amount of knowledge about men and women. Perhaps she’s really plotting something against Tang Ming?

"Exactly, be serious."

Tang Ming grew serious, "You’re both Wei’er’s good friends. Trying to hook up with me while she’s not around is really unethical and disgraceful."

"Such fake sincerity!"

"Miss, have you contacted Uncle Liu?"

Tang Ming turned his attention to Liu Mengting, asking seriously.

"I’ve talked with my dad. During this turmoil in Songlan City, Liu Group suffered losses but remains fundamentally unharmed."

Liu Mengting also turned serious, explaining, "My dad said once you’re done with current matters, you should check out the company. I wonder what’s going on?"

Tang Ming nodded. He knew Liu Gaoze, although a member of the Dark Group, was in charge of a project that was a major focus for them, and even had military involvement. Even as the Dark Group and the Sun Family gain power, nobody would blatantly target the Liu Group.

The surprise for Tang Ming was the Flying Wolf Organization not taking action against the Liu Group, which really caught him off guard.

Truth is, Tang Ming had misunderstood. As soon as he disappeared, Gao Ya immediately reported the information, and the Flying Wolf Organization dispatched personnel for action.

However, with Liu Mengting taken to the Poison Sect by Chen Cang, and Liu Gaoze hiding out in his lab, along with bolstered defense for the Liu Group from the Dark Group and the military, the Flying Wolf Organization never had a chance to strike.

"Once I’m done with everything, I’ll visit Uncle Liu at the company."

After a short pause, Tang Ming replied, figuring it’s about time to resolve the engagement issue. Even if a third party can’t be found, it can’t linger indefinitely; otherwise, Liu Mengting would grow up.

"Whatever, I can’t be bothered with your affairs."

Liu Mengting nonchalantly curled her lips and went back to organizing her papers.

"So you both should study at home for the next couple of days. After lunch, I’ll head to the Imperial City. I’ll probably be back in a few days."

Tang Ming smiled and explained.

"Why are you going to the Imperial City?"

Liu Mengting paused, looking at Tang Ming in confusion.

"Isn’t the big wedding of Su Xiaoxi and Sun Zhuangjia the day after tomorrow? Why are you going so early?"

Li Xiaoli was equally puzzled before suddenly realizing, "I get it, you’re going to the Imperial City to meet some other woman, like Lin Xue or Su Xiaoxi—both of whom are your fiancées."
