Chapter 1391: Chapter 1391

After leaving the explosion site, Tang Ming hid in the mountains and began healing in seclusion.

The next morning, a large crowd of students and parents gathered at the entrance of Songlan City No. 1 High School, as it’s one of the locations for the high school entrance exam.

Liu Mengting, Li Xiaoli, and others were among the crowd, with many students from Tianjiao Middle School assigned to this exam location.

"Oh my, what on earth is Brother Tang Ming doing? Why hasn’t he come yet? The exam is about to start!"

Li Xiaoli looked around anxiously.

"Yeah! The high school entrance exam is such a big deal, he can’t be late; it’s too irresponsible."

Liu Mengting was also anxious.

"Xiao Cang Cang, do you know where Brother Tang Ming went?"

Li Xiaoli looked uncertainly at Tang Ming.

"I, I don’t know, maybe we’re not at the same exam location?"

Chen Cang hesitated for a moment and quickly shook his head, knowing that Tang Ming had gone to a place called Wangjiao Town, but this couldn’t be mentioned, at least not before the exam.

"I’ve seen his exam ticket; although he’s not in the same classroom as us, he’s still taking the exam at the No. 1 High School."

Liu Mengting said with a furrowed brow.

"Oh my, could he really have spent all night with that wine scammer and hasn’t gotten up yet?"

Li Xiaoli grumbled while dialing her phone: "It’s shut off, what’s going on?"

"Hmph, if that’s true, then he deserves it."

Liu Mengting cursed with an ugly expression.

"Forget it, don’t worry about Brother Ming. He’s always unpredictable, but will definitely show up at the last moment."

Chen Cang quickly shook his head, reassuringly: "Today is a big day; we should focus on our own exam — that’s what’s real."

"Yes, yes, even if we want to demand an explanation, we should wait until the exam is over."

Li Xiaoli nodded repeatedly.

After soothing Li Xiaoli and Liu Mengting, Chen Cang immediately found Zhou Dafu: "Fatty, do you know where Brother Ming went?"

"My grandpa said Brother Ming went to Wangjiao Town, but I’ve never even heard of that place."

Zhou Dafu shook his head, looking baffled.

"Regardless of where Brother Ming went, I remember you’re in the same exam room with him, right?"

Chen Cang asked Zhou Dafu uncertainly.

"Yes, I’m indeed in the same exam room as Brother Ming, and we’re not far apart. If I could copy Brother Ming’s answers, I’d be awesome."

Zhou Dafu exclaimed with anticipation.

Chen Cang gave Zhou Dafu a hard knock on the head.

"Hey, why did you hit me?"

Zhou Dafu angrily glared at Chen Cang, rubbing his head.

"I hit you to wake you up."

Chen Cang glanced at Liu Mengting and Li Xiaoli, and whispered: "I have a feeling Brother Ming might not make it back, but we can’t let Xiao Li and Meng Meng know, otherwise they won’t be able to focus on their exams, got it?"

"Oh oh oh, what should we do then?"

Zhou Dafu nodded repeatedly.

"Here’s what we’ll do! After leaving the exam room, tell them Brother Ming entered the exam room a minute before the exam started and left immediately after the exam ended, got it?"

Chen Cang thought about it and came up with a strategy to buy some time.

"Got it, I’ll follow your lead."

Zhou Dafu nodded repeatedly.

"Alright then, it’s settled."

Chen Cang breathed a sigh of relief and returned to Liu Mengting and Li Xiaoli’s side; the three of them were in the same exam room.

Thus, the stressful high school entrance exam day passed, and after the afternoon’s second subject finished, the group walked out of the school gates.

"I wonder if that guy Tang Ming came to take the exam; I didn’t see him at noon either."

Liu Mengting murmured worriedly.

"If you want to know whether Brother Ming came, we can ask Zhou Dafu."

Chen Cang smiled, raised his hand, and called out: "Zhou Dafu, over here, over here."

"Coming, coming. Where are you guys planning to have dinner?"

Zhou Dafu squeezed through the crowd, asking expectantly.

"Eating, eating — all you know is eating?"

Liu Mengting glared at Zhou Dafu, "You were in the same exam room as Tang Ming; did he come for the exam?"

Zhou Dafu paused slightly.

Chen Cang immediately gave Zhou Dafu a look.

"Ah! He did, Brother Ming came, he took both subjects."

Zhou Dafu quickly nodded.

Li Xiaoli immediately asked.

"I don’t know! He always entered the exam room a minute before the exam started and left immediately after handing in his paper, so I didn’t even have a chance to talk to him."

Zhou Dafu recounted what Chen Cang had instructed.

"That bastard, he’s definitely fooling around with that woman."

Hearing this, Liu Mengting immediately got angry: "And to think we were worried for him, it’s completely unnecessary."

"Oh dear, Brother Tang Ming is really bad; he’s prioritizing a woman over the high school entrance exam."

Li Xiaoli also looked disdainful.

"Let’s go, let’s go; I told you Brother Ming wouldn’t have any issues."

Chen Cang laughed, gestured his hand, and said playfully: "I bet he won’t be home at night these days either, so prepare yourselves mentally."

The two girls cursed in unison and got into the car angrily.

"So, did he not come?"

Chen Cang promptly asked Zhou Dafu.

Zhou Dafu barely noticeably nodded.

Chen Cang cursed, "Fatty, you get in the car first; I’m going to make a call. Don’t let it slip."

Zhou Dafu replied, and quickly got in the car to comfort the two girls.

Chen Cang walked a bit further, immediately dialing Xin Badao’s number: "Hey, Master, where are you?"

"I’m in the lab, what’s happening?"

Xin Badao’s puzzled voice sounded.

"Brother Ming is missing."

Chen Cang quickly said: "Today is the high school entrance exam but he didn’t show up, which is completely abnormal."

"It indeed is abnormal; no matter what, Brother Ming wouldn’t miss the entrance exam."

Xin Badao’s voice grew serious: "Don’t worry, I’ll immediately dispatch Poison Sect disciples to find out Brother Ming’s whereabouts."

"There’s no need for that, Master; you should go to the Zhou Family right away and ask Old Man Zhou."

Chen Cang thought for a moment and instructed: "Before leaving, Brother Ming saw Old Man Zhou; he definitely knows where Brother Ming went. I still have another day of exams tomorrow, so I can’t leave."

"Understood, don’t worry, I’ll go find Zhou Zhen now."

Xin Badao responded decisively.

"Good! Regardless of the outcome, please inform me after tomorrow’s test; I’m afraid I won’t be able to control my emotions and will disrupt Liu Mengting and Li Xiaoli’s exam."

Chen Cang gave his instructions and quickly hung up the phone.

After receiving the news, Xin Badao immediately took people to the Zhou Family, then had Old Man Zhou lead them to Wangjiao Town to search for Tang Ming.

As the group trekked over mountains and arrived at Wangjiao Town’s location, they were all stunned by the scene before them.

"There’s no town here, just a scorched earth."

Xin Badao shouted, shocked.
