Chapter 1337: Chapter 1337

"Uncle Liu should know about the Sun Family, right?"

Tang Ming asked Liu Gaoze uncertainly.

"What Sun Family? Which Sun Family?"

Liu Gaoze still looked at Tang Ming blankly.

Tang Ming was at a loss for words. Liu Gaoze was now so focused on research that he didn’t care about external matters at all!

"Cough, cough, sorry, the research project from the organization hit a bottleneck. I’ve been busy with work lately, so I haven’t paid much attention to outside affairs."

Liu Gaoze gave an awkward smile. Previously, when Liu Mengting had been missing for so long, he hadn’t even noticed. Thinking back, it was indeed somewhat excessive.

Previously, Liu Mengting had returned to Songlan City from the Poison Sect and rushed to the company to assure Liu Gaoze of her safety. However, Liu Gaoze had barely noticed Liu Mengting’s absence, which was quite awkward at the time.

For this, Liu Mengting was quite upset, but since she had emerged without any real danger, and her father was not worried either, she didn’t say much.

Instead, Liu Gaoze was full of guilt towards Liu Mengting, but for the sake of his research project, he could only persevere.

"Alright then, I’ll briefly explain the happenings outside during this period."

Tang Ming sighed helplessly and then recounted the changes that had occurred outside.

"Oh my God! When did all this happen? I didn’t know a thing."

After listening to the account, Liu Gaoze exclaimed with exaggerated surprise.

"You’ve actually encountered such dangerous situations, and yet... I’m really sorry."

Liu Gaoze looked at Tang Ming with an apologetic expression.

The Dark Group and the military placed great importance on Liu Gaoze’s experimental project, so during the time Tang Ming was missing, the Liu Group was under very tight security, and the Liu Family wasn’t harmed in that turmoil.

Additionally, the Dark Group and the military deliberately kept Liu Gaoze unaware of Tang Ming’s situation, leading to his unfamiliarity with the outside situation.

"Let’s just forget about what happened in the past."

Tang Ming twitched the corners of his mouth, not wanting Liu Gaoze to be upset as well.

Thinking about it, if Liu Gaoze had really known about Tang Ming’s disappearance and Liu Mengting’s incident back then, he would’ve been extremely worried.

Knowing little about the outside world now is actually fine since he doesn’t have to worry unnecessarily.

"According to what you said, the Liu Family has now replaced the Sun Family and become one of the top ten families in the Imperial City?"

Liu Gaoze, having calmed down, stared at Tang Ming in disbelief.

"Isn’t this a joke? The Liu Family in Songlan City is only called the number one family of Songlan because of your power, but in reality, our strength is insignificant. Now in the Imperial City, we don’t even have any industry, so how can we become one of the ten families?"

Liu Gaoze shook his head uneasily.

"You don’t need to worry about the industries. The Sun Family previously seized vast industries from several other families, and now I’ve incorporated all these industries under the Liu Family. As long as Uncle Liu recruits a strong elite team, it won’t be long before we can establish a foothold."

Tang Ming smiled nonchalantly.

"So, you asked me to dispatch staff from the Liu Family to the Imperial City for this matter."

Liu Gaoze suddenly realized, but still wondered, "With the people I’ve sent to the Imperial City, I’m afraid it’s still not enough to support such a large industry, is it?"

"Indeed, the Liu Family is short on people, but I’ve already had Zhou Jian bring the former key members of the Tangming Group to the Imperial City to help manage these industries."

Tang Ming smiled confidently, "I have great confidence in Zhou Jian’s abilities. With him guarding the Imperial City, there won’t be any problems. Furthermore, with the support of the Lin Family, Su Family, and Wu Family from the Ming Group, there’s nothing for you to worry about."

"That’s good, that’s good."

Liu Gaoze nodded repeatedly, looking at the computer screen with great emotion, "So, that’s how the moving funds in the company account came to be. Now the truth is finally clear."

Seeing so much more money in the company account, Liu Gaoze felt like it was a windfall, all thanks to Tang Ming.

Thinking back now, tricking Tang Ming onto the Liu Family on the train back then was indeed a wise move.

"This is just the beginning. With me, a Nine-star Martial Master, backing the Liu Family, it will definitely establish a foothold in the Imperial City. The benefits gained will be countless times greater than now."

Tang Ming smiled nonchalantly.

Liu Gaoze looked at Tang Ming with a complex expression, "If it weren’t for your care, the Liu Family would have barely managed to become a prominent family in Songlan City, not to mention now becoming one of the top ten families in the Imperial City. Thinking about it now, it feels like a dream."

"It’s what I should do."

Tang Ming nodded, his tone becoming serious, "The first thing is that the Liu Family has become one of the top ten families in the Imperial City."

Liu Gaoze looked at Tang Ming expectantly, wondering what other surprises this young man could bring him.

"The second thing is about your appointment."

Tang Ming handed an appointment letter from the Dark Group to Liu Gaoze, "The Dark Group formally appoints Liu Gaoze as Deputy Director of the Dark Group, in charge of the research department, with the same rank as Zhou Xiong."

Liu Gaoze was shocked, staring at the appointment letter. He was well aware of his own capabilities.

If his cultivation hadn’t been destroyed, he would have had the qualifications to join the higher ranks of the Dark Group. But now, he was just an ordinary person.

Previously, he was only a peripheral member of the Dark Group, and it was only the group’s business direction that qualified him to lead the military special research team. Unexpectedly, he had now become a deputy director. This surprise was somewhat incredible.

"Of course, it’s true! I’ve already discussed it with Zhou Xiong. While you’re in charge of this research project, no one in the Dark Group can direct you, and for the sake of the project, you can mobilize all resources of the Dark Group."

Tang Ming squinted his eyes confidently, "In this way, you can try to gather experts from the Dark Group to secure this place’s safety. No one should be able to threaten your security anymore."

Liu Gaoze stood up excitedly, muttering with excitement, "If that’s true, I will surely mobilize experts from the Dark Group to protect my daughter first. As long as Meng Ting is safe, I’ll have no more worries."

"With me here, no one can harm Liu Mengting. Does Uncle Liu still not feel assured?"

Tang Ming huffed disapprovingly.

"That’s not what I meant; I’m confident with you around, but the stronger the protection, the better."

Liu Gaoze laughed heartily, "Whatever surprises you have, just tell me all at once. I’m really overjoyed today. After you finish your business, I also have something to tell you."

"Then let me go first."

Tang Ming nodded, smiling as he looked at Liu Gaoze, "The third matter, I’ve found the spiritual medicine that can heal Uncle Liu’s old injuries. Spare two days, and I’ll help you heal those injuries so that you can continue your cultivation."
