Chapter 1524: Chapter 1524

The two spent the day together, practicing a dance routine—a super sexy dance that showcased Lu Xiaolu’s strengths to the fullest.

On Saturday evening, Tang Ming walked Lu Xiaolu back to her dorm, feeling bored as he returned to his own dorm.

As soon as he entered, Shao Wuyou and Meng Xianjun surrounded Tang Ming.

"Kid, you spent the whole day with Xiaolu. Did you do anything you shouldn’t have?"

Meng Xianjun glaringly confronted Tang Ming.

"Why are you being so vague about it?"

Shao Wuyou rolled his eyes at Meng Xianjun: "Just say whether you two got intimate?"

"Yeah! We got intimate all day."

Tang Ming thought for a moment and realized they had indeed been intimate all day.

Upon hearing this, Shao Wuyou and Meng Xianjun immediately cried out in agony.

"Enough already! Tang Ming and Lu Xiaolu are a couple; whatever they do isn’t excessive. What does it have to do with you?"

Hua Yingjie complained in disbelief.

"Ugh, I’ve given up. I’m going to switch my ideal woman."

Shao Wuyou shook his head helplessly, feeling like competing with Tang Ming for a woman was too damaging to his self-esteem.

"I will never give up on wooing other chicks. After this party, I’ll definitely attract more fans, and by then, I can... hahaha."

Meng Xianjun laughed lecherously.

"A couple of nutcases."

Tang Ming cursed disdainfully, pulled out his phone, and checked the WeChat group, wanting to see if Liu Mengting and Li Xiaoli had given any instructions, only to find no messages all day.

"These two ladies were really dedicated, practicing all day."

Tang Ming was slightly surprised, then he dialed Liu Mengting’s number to ask if they had returned to the dorm.

To his surprise, Liu Mengting’s phone was off. Tang Ming became suspicious and hurriedly called Li Xiaoli’s phone, which was also off.

"They’re at KTV; they wouldn’t be without a charger."

Tang Ming suddenly stood up, feeling a sense of foreboding.

Seeing Tang Ming suddenly jump up, Shao Wuyou and the others asked worriedly.

"I can’t reach Liu Mengting and Li Xiaoli."

Tang Ming’s face turned grim as he dialed Liu Junmei’s number.

"Hello, Tang Ming? What’s up?"

After the call connected, Liu Junmei’s voice came through.

"Did Liu Mengting and Li Xiaoli return?"

Tang Ming asked straightforwardly.

"Not yet! But half an hour ago, they said they were leaving KTV, so they should be back by now."

Liu Junmei was also puzzled.

"Did their phones run out of battery? Why are they both off?"

Tang Ming asked nervously.

"Impossible, they said their phones had battery when they called me earlier..."

"Damn, something’s happened."

Tang Ming’s face darkened: "Get down to the girls’ dorm and wait for me, we’ll look for them together."

"Okay, okay, I’ll get dressed right away."

Liu Junmei quickly responded, then hung up the phone.

"What exactly happened?"

Hua Yingjie and the others worriedly looked at Tang Ming.

"Something may have happened to Liu Mengting and Li Xiaoli. Come with me to find them."

Tang Ming put on his shoes and rushed outside.

"What could happen at school?"

Shao Wuyou and the other three exchanged glances, but still hurriedly got dressed and chased after Tang Ming.

Downstairs at the girls’ dorm, when Tang Ming arrived, Mu Zixin, Ma Jiaran, Wu Xiaoxia, and Liu Junmei were all dressed and waiting in front of the building.

"Do you know which KTV Liu Mengting went to?"

Tang Ming asked grimly.

"At the Singalong behind the garment city, very close to the school; they shouldn’t be in trouble, right?"

Liu Junmei quickly explained.

"It’s not far from the school; it should only take them a few minutes to walk. Maybe they did something else in the meantime and haven’t come back yet?"

Mu Zixin guessed uncertainly.

"It shouldn’t be! I’ve been calling them, both their phones are off, it’s too abnormal."

Wu Xiaoxia quickly added.

"Something must have happened."

Tang Ming’s face darkened as he looked at the people around him: "We’ll split up to search; take different paths from the school to the Singalong KTV, and call me for any clues. Split into male and female teams, don’t get separated."

Everyone immediately split up and hurried toward the Singalong KTV.

Tang Ming and Liu Junmei paired up, heading towards KTV via the most probable route through the East Gate.

Outside the East Gate, Tang Ming and Liu Junmei still didn’t see any sign of Liu Mengting and Li Xiaoli, only encountering students rushing back to their dorms.

Tang Ming pointed toward the garment city and asked Liu Junmei uncertainly.

"Yes, at the entrance between the silk base and the garment city."

Liu Junmei nodded repeatedly.

Tang Ming squinted his eyes, carefully analyzing the road in front of him, then quickly ran to a junction that one must pass from KTV back to school—a dim, alley-branching area, where if anyone were to act, it would be here.

Tang Ming reached the dark spot and carefully searched, ultimately finding Li Xiaoli’s phone, but it was broken.

"Damn it, something really happened."

Tang Ming cursed with a dark expression, surveying the area, then taking out his phone to call Chen Cang.

Upon hearing of Liu Mengting and Li Xiaoli’s trouble, Chen Cang promptly hurried over.

The group gathered at Tang Ming’s spot, incredulous at Li Xiaoli’s broken phone.

"Isn’t it obvious, they must have been taken by someone."

Shao Wuyou frowned, "But who on earth has the guts to abduct someone near a school?"

Tang Ming clenched his teeth, thinking that with Liu Mengting and Li Xiaoli in college, they should have been safe, yet trouble still arose.

"What should we do now? Should we call the police?"

Liu Junmei asked nervously.

"Even if we call them, the police can’t do anything; has enough time passed since they went missing?"

Ma Jiaran mused uncertainly.

"I know, normally the police investigate after twenty-four hours, but if there are clear signs of a disappearance, they can file a case."

Chen Cang immediately spoke out: "We have the broken phone as evidence; the police must investigate immediately."

"Then let’s call the police."

Tang Ming nodded darkly, quickly pondering who might be responsible: "Chen Cang, has Gao Ya acted suspiciously?"

"This has nothing to do with her; she’s been with me all day."

Chen Cang shook his head and replied firmly: "Plus, Gao Ya wouldn’t take action against Liu Mengting and Li Xiaoli now, you know that?"

"Damn it, then who is it?"

Tang Ming cursed: "Martial Arts Club? Zhao Yan? Or the Dragon Teeth Organization?"
