Chapter 1412: Chapter 1412

"Are you saying that our encounter at Imperial University was also orchestrated by you?"

Tang Ming squinted, uncertainly staring at Wu Xiaoyu.

"Sort of! I had indeed returned to Imperial University to study. However, when you guys arrived in the Imperial City by private jet, I got the news. I heard you were heading to Imperial University, so I just happened to arrange that encounter."

Wu Xiaoyu nodded, looking helplessly at Tang Ming, "Those days were the happiest of my life, thank you."

"Hmph, and now for Hao Jian, you... is he worth it?"

Tang Ming kept taking deep breaths, unable to understand why the Wu Family insisted on saving Hao Jian.

"I don’t know if it’s worth it or not, but I know I am a part of the Wu Family."

Wu Xiaoyu sighed hopelessly, pleadingly looking at Tang Ming, "I beg you to let him go this once, for my sake."

Tang Ming clenched his fist tightly, feeling very conflicted inside. With all that Wu Xiaoyu had done for him before, he couldn’t refuse her request, especially now that Wu Xiaoyu had already remembered, this guilt could not be remedied.

"Sigh, forget it, let it be."

After a few dozen seconds, Tang Ming released his fist, "I’ll spare Hao Jian’s life, considering it as compensation for what you have done for me before. From now on, any grievances between us will be written off, and it’s like your past actions saved Hao Jian’s life. From now on, we’ll owe each other nothing and never meet again."

Wu Xiaoyu moved her lips, hesitating to speak.

"Go. From now on, I won’t interfere with the Wu Family, and tell them I said that the Wu Family is the Wu Family, and I, Tang Ming, am Tang Ming. If Hao Jian provokes me again, whoever pleads for him, I will kill."

Tang Ming turned abruptly, declaring his stance coldly.

"Can I ask you one last question?"

Wu Xiaoyu, with tears streaming down her face, looked at Tang Ming’s back.

"When you previously agreed to go shopping and watch a movie with me, was it just because of your guilt, or was there a little bit of affection for me?"

Wu Xiaoyu asked nervously.

"No! There was never any affection between us. You approached me for the Wu Family, and after our reunion, all I had for you was guilt, making it impossible to refuse any of your requests, it’s that simple."

Tang Ming closed his eyes, biting his teeth to give an answer.

Wu Xiaoyu gave a bitter smile and turned to walk out.

The moment Wu Xiaoyu left the office, Tang Ming suddenly kicked Zhou Xiong’s desk flying, feeling an anger he couldn’t vent.

To say he felt nothing for Wu Xiaoyu was a lie, but now Wu Xiaoyu made him break his principles, sparing that bastard Hao Jian, leaving him unable to face Wu Xiaoyu. The best state would be to live as strangers across the world, each finding their own peace.

"Young Master Tang, what happened?"

Zhou Xiong hurriedly rushed into the office.

"Nothing, I just slipped."

Tang Ming responded, "Has she left?"

"She left, but you should come and have a look."

Zhou Xiong timidly suggested.

Tang Ming rubbed his eyes and turned to walk towards Zhou Xiong.

Zhou Xiong handed a tablet to Tang Ming, "This is the video of Wu Xiaoyu breaking in, can you tell what her cultivation level is now?"

Tang Ming looked puzzled, uncertainly watching the short video of less than thirty seconds.

"I’m puzzled too, even if she is a Six-star Martial Master, she can’t break through the Dark Group’s defense so easily, breaking in from outside to here in thirty seconds, defeating over forty people, including several martial masters."

Zhou Xiong murmured incredulously.

"The video doesn’t show Gang Qi and energy, so I can’t determine her current cultivation level."

Tang Ming shook his head uncertainly, "But it’s certain that her current cultivation level is definitely more than a Six-star Martial Master."

"I agree, it seems this woman from the Wu Family has undergone significant changes after that incident."

Zhou Xiong sighed with emotion.

"Forget about it for now. I have paid back what I owed her, and now I need to focus on dealing with the Ming Group."

Tang Ming shook his head, needing to quickly wipe Wu Xiaoyu’s pitiful look from his mind.

Wu Xiaoyu’s grandpa and Wu Dao waited anxiously in the bedroom, not knowing the result of Wu Xiaoyu’s meeting with Tang Ming.

Soon, Wu Xiaoyu walked into the bedroom with a cold expression.

"What you wanted has been achieved. Tang Ming agreed not to trouble Hao Jian."

Wu Xiaoyu coldly looked at her grandpa and Wu Dao.

"Daughter, are you alright?"

Wu Dao looked worriedly at Wu Xiaoyu.

"I’m fine. Haha, from now on, I sever ties with the Wu Family. Let Hao Jian be your child instead."

With those words, Wu Xiaoyu turned to leave.

"Xiaoyu, come back, Xiaoyu..."

At her words, Wu Dao’s face changed dramatically as he hurried to chase after Wu Xiaoyu.

As Wu Dao reached the door, Wu Xiaoyu instinctively turned and sent a palm strike through the air.

Wu Dao’s body flew up, heavily landing in front of the bed, unable to help spitting out a mouthful of blood.

When Wu Dao looked up again, Wu Xiaoyu was already gone.

Wu Xiaoyu’s grandpa looked at Wu Dao in shock, "Aren’t you a Seven-star Martial Master, how could she send you flying with a single palm strike?"

"I don’t know either, her hand power is so strong, I just couldn’t resist it."

Wu Dao wiped the blood away, looking tragically at his grandpa, "Dad, are you happy with the result now? For one Hao Jian, you’ve lost a granddaughter, and I’ve lost a daughter."

Saying this, Wu Dao couldn’t help but cry.

"Sigh, I have repaid my late comrade-in-arms."

The grandpa sighed, facing the sky, slowly closing his eyes. Although he repaid the life-saving favor his comrade-in-arms did for Hao Jian’s grandpa, he truly felt sorry for Wu Xiaoyu!

Wu Dao quickly got up, rushing to his grandpa’s side, "Someone, call the doctor quickly."

Wu Xiaoyu’s grandpa fell seriously ill, and before falling into a coma, he finally resolved a matter. However, his guilt toward Wu Xiaoyu could not be remedied. This feeling made life worse than death for him, and whether he could pull through would be up to fate.

Two days later, Hao Jian lay drunkenly in the presidential suite of the hotel, with a bevy of stunning, naked women languishing around him in a haze of intoxication.

As the group revelled in their debauchery, Wu Dao stormed in with a grim face, kicking the door open and causing screams to erupt.

"Get them all out of here."

Wu Dao looked at the scantily clad women with disdain.

"Don’t leave, don’t leave, if I die, I must die with women on top of me?"

Grabbing the arms of two girls, Hao Jian screamed wildly.
