Chapter 1323: Chapter 1323

Xia Wei’er’s mouth twitched for a moment, surprised by how feisty Li Xiaoli was.

"Pah, don’t talk nonsense. This isn’t even close to anything happening."

Liu Mengting glared fiercely at Li Xiaoli, then turned to Xia Wei’er, "Wei’er, don’t worry, we’ll definitely keep an eye on that guy Tang Ming for you, and make sure he doesn’t mess around."

"Alright, I trust you."

Xia Wei’er nodded, holding the two women’s hands tightly: "My two sisters, I’ll leave Ming to you."

"Don’t worry, we’ll wait for you to come back."

The two women nodded in unison.

"I won’t say more unnecessary words, take care of yourselves, and don’t tell Ming I was back."

Xia Wei’er slowly stood up, gritting her teeth as she walked out.

"Boo hoo, Wei’er, you must come back soon, okay?"

Watching Xia Wei’er’s back, Li Xiaoli cried out.

"Don’t worry, I’ll be back as per our one-year agreement."

Xia Wei’er waved her hand without turning back, her voice trembling as she called out, "You must take care of Ming for me."

"Wei’er is really stronger than us."

Liu Mengting gazed wistfully at Xia Wei’er’s back, mumbling after she disappeared from view.

"Meng Meng sister, what did you say?"

Li Xiaoli wiped her tears, looking at Liu Mengting with confusion.

"I said Wei’er is stronger than us, both in terms of breadth of mind and intelligence."

Liu Mengting sighed and said helplessly, "Even though she left now, it’s so she can go further with Tang Ming in the future. We need to consider some things too."

Li Xiaoli looked at Liu Mengting blankly.

"Like how to become a useful person."

Liu Mengting responded wistfully.

Thinking carefully, ever since Tang Ming appeared, it seemed all she’s done is cause trouble for him, rather than really helping him.

This time, Xia Wei’er left to become someone who can help Tang Ming in the future, and just on that front alone, she and Li Xiaoli lost.

Li Xiaoli opened her mouth, wanting to speak but hesitating. She didn’t understand what Liu Mengting was talking about, but felt it made a lot of sense.

The turmoil in the Imperial City passed just like that, but everyone knew Tang Ming was back, and they all agreed with Sun Zhuangjia’s assumption: Tang Ming is Tang Xin.

The Sun Family’s rise and fall was like a brief bloom, and in the end, they made way for Tang Ming, whose brutal methods at the wedding temporarily intimidated everyone.

At least in the days following the wedding, none of the big forces dared to provoke the Dark Group or Tang Ming, and even if someone wanted to deal with Tang Ming, they couldn’t find a trace of him for the time being.

After a couple of calm days, the Dark Group’s faction began to counterattack. Previously, with Sun Zhuangjia’s help, the Ming Group faction had forcefully taken many territories and industries from the Dark Group faction. Now that Tang Ming declared neutrality, the Dark Group faction, emboldened, launched a counterattack on the Ming Group.

The Ming Group faction, having lost the incredibly powerful Nine-star Martial Master Sun Zhuangjia, found their previously seized territories and industries swiftly retaken by the Dark Group forces.

Facing the aggressive assault from the Dark Group, the Ming Group faction wanted to retaliate, but thinking of how Tang Ming disabled Sun Zhuangjia and his unknown attitude, they could only retreat and compromise.

They feared that if they counterattacked, it might provoke Tang Ming’s anger, and the losses could be more than just a little something trivial.

As the Dark Group faction was rising again, Hao Jian arrived in Songlan City with a few subordinates from the Hao Family.

He had heard many things about Tang Ming and initially thought Tang Ming would reclaim his position as the Martial Arts Inspection Team group leader, but after waiting several days, there was no news at all.

Finally, Hao Jian went to the Long Family to inquire and learned that Tang Ming was not interested in the so-called Martial Arts Inspection Team leader position, which completely relieved Hao Jian.

Thinking how the Dark Group’s Martial Arts Inspection Team reclaimed all the previously lost territories and their faction’s power was at its peak, Hao Jian couldn’t sit still.

Anyway, he was currently the group leader of the Dark Group’s Martial Arts Inspection Team, so all the territory under the Martial Arts Inspection Team should naturally be under his control.

In the suburbs of Songlan City, at the gate of the manor base, Hao Jian, wearing sunglasses, got out of a black Land Rover, followed by two black Benz cars, from which seven or eight men in black suits stepped out.

"Young master, this place is now part of our Martial Arts Inspection Team’s territory, we can once again enjoy life here."

A man in black wearing sunglasses fawningly approached Hao Jian.

"Call me Group Leader."

Hao Jian glared at the man in black.

The man in black nodded repeatedly.

"Heh, now that Tang Ming is not caring about worldly matters, and I am still the group leader of the Martial Arts Inspection Team, since this place is occupied by the Martial Arts Inspection Team, naturally I have the right to control it."

Hao Jian adjusted his attire, laughing triumphantly.

"Yes, yes, sir. The group leader is the leader appointed by the Long Family themselves, so no one below dares to go against your wishes."

The group repeatedly flattered him.

"Let’s go, let’s go inspect the work inside our base."

With his arms behind him, Hao Jian took big strides towards the gate of the manor, but then...

Hao Jian and his crew were stopped at the gate by several guards: "Who are you? This is private property, outsiders are not allowed in."

"How dare you. I’m Hao Jian, the Martial Arts Inspection Team’s group leader, and you dare stop me?"

Hao Jian’s face turned cold, cursing, "A bunch of blind watch dogs, get out of my way quickly, this place is mine now."

"The Martial Arts Inspection Team’s group leader?"

The guards exchanged looks, quickly taking out their phones to call.

"Sorry, without orders from above, we can’t let anyone in. Please wait, I’ll notify the person in charge to handle this."

Someone made a call, while another politely explained the situation to Hao Jian.

"Nonsense, our group leader is here for an inspection, does he still need to report to you?"

A man in black got angry, pointing at the guard and shouted, "How dare you block Group Leader Hao’s way, do you want to keep your job?"

"Without orders from above, no one can enter."

The guard stood firm, pulling out a short blade from his coat with determination.

Seeing the situation, Hao Jian raised his hand sharply and slapped the guard.

"You, how can you hit people?"

The young guard covered his face, looking at Hao Jian with anger.

"I’m hitting you to teach you a lesson; I’m the group leader of the Martial Arts Inspection Team, returning to our territory. Do you think a small fry like you can stop me?"

Hao Jian snorted coldly, waved impatiently, and shouted, "Someone, give these blind bastards a good lesson."
