Chapter 1436: Chapter 1436
"Flying Wolf Organization? What’s that?"
Tang Ming was surprised and puzzled, looking bewilderedly at Gao Ya, "I know some charity organizations, investment organizations, but I’ve never heard of any Flying Wolf Organization."
Hearing this, Gao Ya was momentarily at a loss for words, feeling somewhat frustrated. She never expected Chen Cang to have done such an excellent job at keeping it a secret, to the point where Tang Ming still wasn’t aware of the Flying Wolf Organization’s existence.
"Is there a problem?"
Tang Ming looked at Gao Ya strangely.
"Huff huff huff, let’s find a place to have a good talk."
Gao Ya took a deep breath and turned around to walk toward the Benz.
"Interesting, this is really interesting."
Tang Ming chuckled and obediently followed Gao Ya into the Mercedes.
"I heard your cultivation was abolished, and now you’re only a Five-star Martial Master. Is that true?"
Gao Ya asked curiously while driving.
Tang Ming leaned back in the passenger seat and replied indifferently.
"Do you think I would guess or not?"
Seeing Tang Ming being perfunctory, Gao Ya glared at him fiercely.
"Do you think if I guessed, you’d guess whether I guessed or didn’t guess?"
Tang Ming responded playfully.
Gao Ya cursed and then focused on driving, ignoring Tang Ming.
They arrived at a café in the Binjiang District, and after ordering, Gao Ya began to scrutinize Tang Ming, trying to ascertain if his cultivation had indeed been abolished.
"Hey, calling me out early in the morning, you’re not just here to see some handsome guy, are you?"
Tang Ming protested disgruntledly.
"You dare call yourself a handsome guy? More like a sorry guy."
Gao Ya rolled her eyes and sat up straight, "Let me formally introduce myself. I’m Gao Ya, currently the head of the Flying Wolf Organization in Songlan City. The Flying Wolf Organization is the same group that attempted to kidnap Liu Mengting. Our aim in dealing with Liu Mengting is to coerce Liu Gaoze into handing over the research results from the military research group he’s currently in charge of."
"You... you’re pretty straightforward."
Tang Ming didn’t expect Gao Ya to reveal her identity so directly, catching him somewhat off guard.
"Since I’m here to negotiate with you, I naturally need to be straightforward."
Gao Ya shrugged and said coolly, "The people who attempted to kidnap Liu Mengting earlier were from our Flying Wolf Organization. However, I wasn’t in Songlan City at the time, and those people acted on their own, which is why they got caught. My purpose today is to get those people released."
"Based on what? Just because you say so?"
Tang Ming sneered, "Not afraid to tell you, if this were before, I wouldn’t have troubled these people. But now, I don’t cater to any enemies. They dared to target Liu Mengting and Li Xiaoli, so I must make them pay the price, including the Flying Wolf Organization behind them."
"You... you want to learn the location of the Flying Wolf Organization’s headquarters from them?"
Gao Ya immediately understood Tang Ming’s intention. This guy was really planning to take action against the Flying Wolf Organization.
"It’s a pleasure talking to a smart person."
"If you were still a Nine-star Martial Master, I would believe you have the ability and guts. But now you’re just a Five-star Martial Master. Even if you knew the organization’s headquarters location, you couldn’t harm the organization."
Gao Ya, realizing this, sneered, "Even if you were a Nine-star Martial Master and dared to cause trouble at the headquarters, you’d end up dead."
Tang Ming narrowed his eyes, staring intently at Gao Ya. Judging by her words, it seemed the Flying Wolf Organization was quite powerful.
"We’re all adults here. Since I’ve revealed my identity to you, I genuinely want to negotiate, hoping you won’t clash with the organization. That wouldn’t benefit anyone."
Gao Ya smiled slightly, looking sincerely at Tang Ming, "Give it a chance, for yourself as well."
"Alright, how do you want to negotiate?"
Tang Ming picked at his ear, suddenly losing interest in a quick showdown with the Flying Wolf Organization.
If the Flying Wolf Organization was truly that formidable, getting rid of them would certainly cause a considerable stir. Many people would then learn about his concealed cultivation, which would be undesirable.
If the Dragon Group got involved and sent people to capture him for cultivation, it would leave no one to replace him, also causing trouble for Li Long.
"There are mainly two matters. First, please release the detained Flying Wolf Organization members."
Gao Ya earnestly proposed.
"Why? What’s in it for me to release them? Negotiations can’t just leave me at a loss, right?"
Tang Ming looked at Gao Ya discontentedly.
"Well, what conditions do you want? You can mention them, and I’ll try my best to meet them."
Gao Ya was prepared, knowing that negotiations must involve bargaining chips.
Tang Ming squinted, looking mischievously at Gao Ya, "How about you accompany me for a few nights?"
Upon hearing this, Gao Ya’s face changed dramatically. She didn’t like men at all, so how could she agree to such a condition? Even if she liked men, she wouldn’t accept such a condition.
"Just joking. Look how tense you got. Talking about sincerity, are you messing with me?"
Tang Ming rolled his eyes. He proposed such a condition knowing Gao Ya was a lesbian.
"You can’t joke like that."
Gao Ya glared at Tang Ming, "Please be serious. I’m representing the Flying Wolf Organization in negotiations with you. You don’t want to keep being harassed, right?"
Tang Ming nodded, raising two fingers, "I’ll release them, but each costs two million. Pay up, and I’ll release them."
Gao Ya laughed. It was a solution, but at two million per person, that amounted to over thirty million.
"Your price is a bit steep. Could it be lower?"
Gao Ya frowned, uncertainly looking at Tang Ming.
"Sorry, but it’s two million per person, not a penny less."
Tang Ming shrugged, stating firmly, "They tried to target Liu Mengting. I intended to kill them all. If you don’t agree, I’ll dig a pit and bury them all."
"Alright, alright, I’ll note this condition and report it back to the organization. As long as they agree, I’ll ransom the people immediately."
Gao Ya grudgingly took note, "Second, I hope you can hand over Liu Gaoze’s research data to me."
"Madam, you’re getting more and more excessive here."
Tang Ming squinted coldly at Gao Ya, "I can give the data, but what can you offer me?"
"I... can I buy it with money?"
Gao Ya thought for a moment, uncertainly asking Tang Ming.
"Do I look like I’m lacking money right now?"
Tang Ming adjusted his clothes, disdainfully looking at Gao Ya, "Ransoming the people with money is me giving you face. Thirty million is a lot for you, but for me, it’s just a drop in the ocean. The research Liu Gaoze is in charge of involves national secrets, not something you can settle with money."
