Chapter 1393: Chapter 1393

"Hmph, that guy hasn’t shown up since the college entrance exam, he must have gone off with that wild woman."

Liu Mengting snorted coldly and angrily said, "That jerk who puts women before friends, and we were so worried about him."

"Oh, that might actually be the case."

Li Xiaoli nodded repeatedly and said disdainfully, "There’s not a single good man out there. I bet Tang Ming has been bewitched by a vixen and doesn’t have time for us anymore."

"Better off dead, at least then we can have some peace."

Liu Mengting cursed under her breath, turned around, and went back to the bathroom to continue washing up.

After the two girls finished getting ready, they held hands and went downstairs to eat. When passing the second floor, Li Xiaoli suddenly heard an unusual sound coming from Tang Ming’s room.

"Shh! Meng Meng, did you hear something strange?"

Li Xiaoli quickly grabbed Liu Mengting, asking gravely.

"What sound? I didn’t hear anything!"

Liu Mengting replied, puzzled.

"Listen carefully, it seems to be coming from Tang Ming’s room."

As Li Xiaoli started walking toward Tang Ming’s room, she guessed, "Could it be that Tang Ming brought that wild woman back?"

Hearing this, Liu Mengting became furious at the thought of him not only going out and fooling around but also bringing a woman back home. How outrageous.

"Let’s listen carefully."

Li Xiaoli cautiously approached the door to Tang Ming’s bedroom and pressed her ear against it to listen.

Liu Mengting hurriedly joined her.

Sure enough, there was a strange sound coming from inside the room. Even though it was faint, it was certain that someone was inside.

"Oh my, there really is a sound."

Li Xiaoli looked at Liu Mengting in shock.

"That bastard really brought a woman back to fool around, I’m so angry I could die."

Liu Mengting was instantly enraged and kicked the door hard.

Liu Mengting kicked with force, but her strength was insufficient, and instead of breaking the door open, she nearly fell over.

"Calm down, calm down, I..."

Li Xiaoli quickly comforted Liu Mengting and reached out to pull the door, "Hey, the door isn’t locked."

Liu Mengting cursed in embarrassment and pushed the door open, rushing inside.

Li Xiaoli exclaimed as she followed her in, but then...

Once inside, the two girls saw a charred human-shaped figure lying on the floor, emitting labored and painful breaths.

Seeing the burnt figure, Liu Mengting couldn’t help but scream.

"W-what is that thing?"

Li Xiaoli was also scared out of her wits.

Tang Ming opened his eyes and called out weakly.

"You... you’re Tang Ming?"

Hearing this voice, Liu Mengting was incredulous as she widened her eyes.

"Yes, I am Tang Ming."

Tang Ming responded with difficulty.

"How did you end up ?"

Liu Mengting’s expression changed dramatically as she asked in shock.

"Oh my, the woman you’re fooling around with isn’t a fire-breathing lady, is she? How did you get burned so badly?"

Li Xiaoli exclaimed incredulously.

"Xiaoli, this is not the time, stop spouting nonsense!"

Liu Mengting gave Li Xiaoli a fierce glare and hastily took out her phone, "I’ll call the police and an ambulance, you must hang in there."

"No, don’t call the police, you absolutely can’t."

Tang Ming quickly stopped her and said weakly, "No one can know that I’m seriously injured."

"Ah! Then what should we do? Can we notify Chen Cang and the others?"

Liu Mengting panicked and paced back and forth anxiously.

"No, you can’t tell anyone."

Tang Ming shook his head and said with difficulty, "I’m in such a poor state right now that even a regular child could kill me. If Chen Cang, Xin Badao, or Chu Batian were to turn against me, I wouldn’t be able to stop it."

"But... they’re completely loyal to you, they wouldn’t betray you, would they?"

Liu Mengting looked at Tang Ming uncertainly.

"Yes, yes, Little Cang Cang and the others adore you, there’s no way they’d hurt you."

Li Xiaoli also shook her head quickly.

"It’s not good to have the intent to harm others, but being on guard is essential. I need to be cautious just in case."

Tang Ming shook his head and gritted his teeth, "At least until I regain my strength, I can’t let them know my situation. I ended up because someone betrayed me. Even if it wasn’t them, it was someone close to them, I can’t take that risk."

Liu Mengting and Li Xiaoli were filled with suspicion.

Tang Ming was being so cautious this time because of many concerns.

The matter of his origins was known only to Tang Ming, but Tang Ming didn’t know the exact location of Wangjiao Town, which meant this incident wasn’t related to Tang Ming.

Yet Hao Jian and Yan Qinglong managed to ambush around Wangjiao Town, indicating they were very familiar with his movements and knew he was going there, allowing them to prepare in advance.

When Tang Ming decided to go to Wangjiao Town, it was an unexpected decision without prior plans. Even so, his movements were leaked in advance, meaning there was an internal problem.

The only ones who knew he was going to Wangjiao Town were Chen Cang and Old Master Zhou, so the issue must be with these two, which is why now Tang Ming can’t trust anyone.

If someone from the Ming Group found out his true state, they wouldn’t miss the chance to assassinate him, potentially sending a large number of Eight-star Martial Masters after him, which would be the end.

"So what should we do now? You’re so severely injured, won’t you die if you don’t go to the hospital?"

Liu Mengting anxiously stared at Tang Ming.

"Don’t worry, I’m a doctor myself and can treat myself, but my injuries are too severe this time and will take a long time to heal. Plus, I’m about to pass out."

Tang Ming responded weakly, "During my recovery, don’t bring anyone home and don’t tell anyone about my condition. Just prepare some food and water for me daily; I’ll handle everything else myself."

"Tang Ming, what about Senior Chu Batian who’s secretly protecting us? Has he discovered you?"

Li Xiaoli asked worriedly.

"Don’t worry, I slipped back yesterday when you weren’t around, and Chu Batian wasn’t here at that time, so he doesn’t know about my situation."

Tang Ming smiled, assured.

"Oh, oh, oh, I understand what to do now."

Liu Mengting nodded repeatedly, her eyes red with worry as she looked at Tang Ming, "Are you okay sitting on the floor ? Do you want to rest on the bed?"

Tang Ming opened his mouth and said helplessly, "I don’t have the strength to get on the bed."

Liu Mengting and Li Xiaoli exclaimed in unison, then came forward together, laboriously lifting Tang Ming onto the bed, not caring that they and the sheets got dirty.

Tang Ming gritted his teeth in pain, unable to stop himself from groaning. There wasn’t a single spot on his body that wasn’t hurting.
