Chapter 1470: Chapter 1470
"Even if you go, it’s useless."
Wu Xiong scratched his head helplessly and said, "You all disband first, Tang Ming and I will go explain the situation to the higher-ups. If we can’t handle it properly, then you’ll just have to wait for a new instructor."
"It can’t be that serious, can it?"
A group of students all became nervous.
In an office within the administrative building of Imperial University, a middle-aged man in uniform angrily slammed the table: "This is outrageous, simply outrageous! The new students this year are so arrogant, repeatedly beating instructors. Do they have no respect for discipline?"
"Brother-in-law, the students are one thing, but Wu Xiong, that bastard, actually incited the students to hit me. You must stand up for me."
Liu Dewu sat pitifully opposite Jiang Dong, crying and pretending to be pathetic.
"Don’t worry. Previously, the student who fought wasn’t pursued by the instructor, so I couldn’t go hard. But this time, causing such a big incident, I’ll definitely punish all involved."
Jiang Dong looked coldly at Liu Dewu: "Do you remember what the student who hit you looks like? This time, the school will expel him, no matter who pleads for him."
"I remember, but I don’t remember his name. Wu Xiong must know."
Liu Dewu nodded repeatedly.
"Okay, I’ve already sent someone to find Wu Xiong. Once he arrives, let’s see how I deal with him."
Jiangdong cursed with a gloomy face.
In no time, a flustered Wu Xiong entered the office.
Liu Dewu stood aside, coldly watching Wu Xiong, believing that with his brother-in-law’s stance, Wu Xiong would surely be sent packing.
"Wu Xiong, you’ve got some nerve."
Upon seeing Wu Xiong enter the room, Jiang Dong slammed the table: "I brought you to the school to train new students, and you train them into thugs. Do you deserve the uniform you’re wearing? Write a report immediately and get out of here, back to the farm."
"Chief Instructor, that’s not how it happened. Liu Dewu came with people to challenge me. After he lost, he started hitting students. Who knew he couldn’t beat them, and that’s how he got hit."
Wu Xiong quickly explained.
"You’re talking nonsense! How could I lose to a student? Clearly you helped the students beat me, using public office to avenge private feuds and turning right into wrong."
Liu Dewu immediately shouted angrily.
"Oh my, so you mean you could beat me? How about we have a one-on-one right now?"
At this moment, Tang Ming walked in with his hands in his pockets.
Jiang Dong stared at Tang Ming with suspicion.
"Brother-in-law, he’s the student who hit me! Such a person must be punished severely and expelled from school..."
Liu Dewu shouted resentfully.
Before Liu Dewu could finish, Jiang Dong picked up the folder on the table and threw it at him.
Liu Dewu was dumbfounded by the hit, holding his head and looking blankly at Jiang Dong.
Wu Xiong was also puzzled, not understanding why the chief instructor was assaulting Liu Dewu.
Tang Ming curiously scrutinized Jiang Dong.
"Young Master Tang, why are you here?"
Jiang Dong stood up, looking at Tang Ming with trepidation.
"Brother-in-law, you must be mistaken? He’s just a student; why are you afraid of him?"
Liu Dewu asked Jiang Dong puzzledly.
"Shut up. If you dare speak again, I’ll tear you apart."
Jiang Dong gave Liu Dewu an angry glare.
Tang Ming looked at Jiang Dong curiously, having no memory of him.
"Of course, I know you. You are..."
Tang Ming quickly interrupted Jiang Dong, glancing at Liu Dewu and Wu Xiong.
"Oh, you two wait outside."
Jiang Dong adjusted his clothes and ordered decisively.
Liu Dewu and Wu Xiong nodded blankly and quickly exited the office.
"Where do you know me from? I don’t remember you?"
Tang Ming sat across from Jiang Dong and frowned inquiringly.
"Young Master Tang, you often forget ordinary people like me, so it’s natural you don’t remember. I was one of the staff maintaining order at this year’s Nine Families Martial Arts Competition. I witnessed your elegance there, so it’s normal you don’t know me."
Jiang Dong looked at Tang Ming ingratiatingly and explained.
"Oh, I see. So, are you from the Ming Group or the Dark Group?"
Tang Ming suddenly realized, remembering that this person had seen him, though he hadn’t seen this person.
"I, I have no status to join any faction. I’m just a casual staff maintaining order at the competition site."
Jiang Dong looked at Tang Ming with embarrassment. Despite being the chief instructor, he held no real position at the martial arts competition venue.
Tang Ming scrutinized Jiang Dong closely: "What’s your name, and what’s your position now?"
"My name is Jiang Dong..."
Jiang Dong hurriedly introduced himself.
"Do you want to join the Dark Group?"
Tang Ming touched his chin and asked uncertainly.
"Of course I want to, I just don’t qualify yet."
Jiang Dong’s eyes lighted up, looking at Tang Ming nervously.
Tang Ming took out his phone and smiled at Jiang Dong.
"Of course, of course, go ahead."
Jiang Dong nodded repeatedly.
Once the call connected, Tang Ming glanced at Jiang Dong: "Director Zhou, this is Tang Ming."
"Young Master Tang, you should be studying at school. How do you have time to call me?"
Zhou Xiong’s voice sounded curious.
"It’s nothing major. I discovered a talent, and I’d like to recommend him to join the Dark Group. You should add him to the periphery first, observe him for a while, and see if he’s suitable for a formal position."
Tang Ming spoke calmly as he relayed Jiang Dong’s details.
"No problem, I’ll arrange it right away. Anyone recommended by Young Master Tang, even if not qualified, I’ll find a good position for them."
Zhou Xiong agreed readily.
Tang Ming hung up the phone and smiled at Jiang Dong: "Chief Instructor, are you satisfied with this arrangement?"
"Thank you, Young Master Tang."
Jiang Dong gratefully saluted Tang Ming, nearly kneeling out of gratitude.
"I won’t say more. You should know how to handle what just happened, right?"
Tang Ming slowly stood up, "Wu Xiong is quite a good soldier, help me keep an eye on him."
"Don’t worry, rest assured, I know what to do."
Jiang Dong nodded repeatedly, feeling overjoyed. He was a minor character at the base, but now he had become part of the Dark Group. Although only in the periphery, with good performance, he’d become a full member in the future, and then he’d be successful.
"Thankfully, you recognized me, or else..."
Tang Ming gave a peculiar smile and advised: "By the way, I’m on a special mission for the Dark Group at Imperial University, so my identity can’t be exposed. You must keep it a secret."
