Chapter 1548: Chapter 1548

"We’ve fallen into a trap."

Tang Ming sighed and recounted what had happened earlier.

"Damn it, who the hell is behind this? Are they tired of living, daring to target my sisters?"

Chen Cang cursed angrily.

Hua Yingjie and Shao Wuyou rushed over too, and they were quite shocked at the scene.

The group looked at Tang Ming nervously, too many people had died, and the situation was out of control.

"Let’s call the police. Have them come and clean up the mess."

Tang Ming sighed again and took out his phone to call Director Liao.

As soon as Director Liao heard it was about Tang Ming in trouble, he immediately told him not to worry and said he would send people over right away.

Everyone squatted at the crime scene, the men looking furious, while the women huddled together, frightened.

"Tang Ming, who do you think is behind this?"

Meng Xianjun, with a cigarette dangling from his lips, asked Tang Ming with furrowed brows.

"I can’t figure out who did it either. It’s clear they were targeting the girls, and their methods were extremely vicious."

Tang Ming shook his head, a fierce light flashed in his eyes.

"Do you think it might have been someone from Little Wulin?"

Shao Wuyou asked uncertainly.

"No. Those guys from Little Wulin aren’t likable, but I’ve dealt with them before. They have a sense of chivalry despite our grudge, and they wouldn’t harm innocent girls."

Chen Cang immediately shook his head, confidently saying, "Actually, those people are proud at heart and wouldn’t resort to such lowly tactics."

"I feel like it wasn’t people from the martial arts world either. It feels familiar."

Tang Ming gazed at the bodies on the ground, brow furrowed: "Feign one thing while doing another, lure the enemy away from their base, and lure the snake out of its hole... Using several tactics at once to lead all of us top fighters in circles. So far, I’ve only encountered one opponent ."

Shao Wuyou, Meng Xianjun, and Hua Yingjie looked at Tang Ming with confusion.

Chen Cang’s face changed dramatically, and he looked at Tang Ming incredulously: "Only that guy has such cunning and strategy."

"Yes! These people’s abilities weren’t strong, probably very weak, but their plan was so well-devised that they almost succeeded."

Tang Ming nodded, speaking with apprehension: "If it hadn’t been for Wu Xiaoxia’s unexpected combat prowess, by the time I arrived, the girls might have met a dire fate, and I’d be filled with lifelong regret."

"Who is this Nangong Tianyue you’re talking about?"

Shao Wuyou looked bewildered, shaking his head repeatedly.

"He’s the Young Sect Master of the Medicine Sect, right?"

Hua Yingjie looked at Tang Ming with a serious expression.

"You know Nangong Tianyue?"

Tang Ming looked at Hua Yingjie with suspicion.

"I’ve seen him once. After the Heavenly Medicine Sect was abandoned by the martial arts world, Nangong Tianyue sought me out, saying he wanted to borrow a part of a book from our sect."

Hua Yingjie nodded, recalling: "He offered me terms I couldn’t refuse, so I let him see it."

"Nangong Tianyue has seen your ancient book?"

Tang Ming was taken aback and quickly asked: "Where is your sect’s ancient book now?"

"It’s in the Heavenly Medicine Sect’s secret chamber and... Don’t worry, Nangong Tianyue only knows a small portion of the copies. The real medical book, when the sect split, was passed down in a special way."

Hua Yingjie chuckled awkwardly, "Mainly to guard against the Medical Immortal Workshop’s attempts to seize the book."

"No wonder Nangong Tianyue’s medical skills are so peculiar. He must have gleaned some insights from the book, allowing him to create things that even baffle me."

Tang Ming sighed, sounding frustrated.

"This Nangong Tianyue you mentioned should be on the Netherworld Road; why would he suddenly come to the city?"

Meng Xianjun looked at Tang Ming and the others with curiosity.

"How do you know he’s on the Netherworld Road?"

Tang Ming abruptly looked at Meng Xianjun. The whereabouts of Nangong Tianyue had always been a mystery. Even he didn’t know, so how could Meng Xianjun?

"I heard, I just heard about it."

Meng Xianjun smiled awkwardly.

Tang Ming hesitated, realizing his roommates were indeed unfathomable, shocking him several times.

"Cough, cough, I don’t know what you guys are talking about, but it sounds impressive. Does it have anything to do with what’s happening now?"

Shao Wuyou scratched his head, unable to grasp the situation at all.

"I’m not sure if Nangong Tianyue is behind this incident, but to someone who can make a fool of me, currently, I’m only aware of Nangong Tianyue."

Tang Ming sighed helplessly. He just said it felt very much like Nangong Tianyue’s method, but he wasn’t certain if it was really him.

"Well, what’s the point in talking about it! The important thing is that everyone is okay now, so let’s be more cautious in the future."

Shao Wuyou dismissed cynically.

"An enemy skilled in using tactics and a master of silver wire weapons, it’s hard to guard against."

Meng Xianjun nodded with concern: "Let’s send the girls home first and then deal with the police."

"Alright! You guys take the girls home; I’ll stay here and wait for the police."

Tang Ming thought it over. Having already caused a scene and not knowing who the perpetrator was, there was no need for the girls to have to deal with the police.

"Alright, let’s head back quickly, or they’ll close the dormitory."

Liu Junmei was the first to nod in agreement.

Liu Mengting and Lu Xiaolu looked worriedly at Tang Ming as they were reluctantly escorted away from the scene by Chen Cang and Meng Xianjun.

"Who the heck did this?"

After everyone left, Tang Ming was left in distress, unable to figure out who would stoop so low to harm the girls.

After a while, several police cars arrived.

"Tang Ming, why does trouble follow you wherever you go?"

A spirited female officer in uniform stepped out of the police car.

"Lin Xue? Why are you here?"

Tang Ming looked at Lin Xue in surprise, not expecting her to be leading the police team this time.

"I’m now the Deputy Chief of the Academic District Sub-bureau. With something this big happening, the police station asked me to personally lead the team to check it out."

Lin Xue tidied her clothes and proudly looked at Tang Ming. In fact, it was the Lin Family who knew Tang Ming was studying at Imperial University, so they transferred Lin Xue to the academic sub-bureau for them to have more interaction.

"Your promotion is pretty fast."

Tang Ming’s mouth twitched slightly as he looked at Lin Xue in amazement: "You were just a detective team leader in Songlan City before. Coming back to a place like the Imperial City and becoming Deputy Chief, congratulations!"

"Hmph, don’t pretend to be sincere. Tell me, what exactly happened?"

Lin Xue gave Tang Ming a sidelong glance, bluntly asking.
