Chapter 1549: Chapter 1549

"Just like what you saw..."

Tang Ming sighed and explained the course of events.

"It’s outrageous, such a vile thing happening near the school. Don’t worry, I will definitely investigate thoroughly and give you an explanation."

Lin Xue promised angrily.

"Well, good luck then. That’s how things are. If there’s no problem, I’ll head back."

Tang Ming smiled, preparing to leave the scene.

Lin Xue stopped Tang Ming, glanced at the colleague handling the corpse, and looked at Tang Ming with a complex expression: "After all this time apart, don’t you have anything to say to me?"

"Um, I’m glad to see you."

Tang Ming thought for a moment and responded perfunctorily.

"You, you can just leave."

Upon hearing this, Lin Xue shouted angrily.

Tang Ming turned around and left without hesitation. He was already entangled with too many women and couldn’t further complicate things with Lin Xue; it was safer to keep a distance.

Chen Cang escorted Liu Mengting, Li Xiaoli, and the others back to the dormitory, and nothing happened along the way.

Shao Wuyou, Meng Xianjun, and Hua Yingjie escorted Lu Xiaolu back to her dormitory. Since Lu Xiaolu was not in the same dorm building as Liu Mengting and the others, the two groups split once they entered the school.

Shao Wuyou had long given up on Lu Xiaolu and silently followed her without speaking, but Meng Xianjun was quite excited.

"Xiaolu, your hometown is Songlan City, right?"

Meng Xianjun grinned at Lu Xiaolu.

"Yeah! Tang Ming and I are from the same town."

"So your parents are also from Songlan City?"

"No, they were doing business in Songlan City back then, and when they encountered difficulties, they left me in an orphanage. Tang Ming and I were at the same orphanage."

Lu Xiaolu sighed melancholically and said, "But later I reunited with my parents, thanks to Tang Ming’s help."

"Reunited with your parents? You have a mother?"

Meng Xianjun asked in surprise.

"What kind of question is that? If I didn’t have a mother, would I have jumped out of a rock?"

Lu Xiaolu looked at Meng Xianjun in speechless disdain.

"I meant, is your mother in good health now?"

Meng Xianjun smiled awkwardly and asked tactfully.

"Of course, her health is very good."

Lu Xiaolu nodded happily.

"Really? Are you sure she’s your biological mother, not a stepmother your dad married?"

Meng Xianjun watched Lu Xiaolu nervously.

"Meng Xianjun, you’re too much."

Lu Xiaolu stopped walking and looked at Meng Xianjun angrily, "If we weren’t friends, and you dared to ask such a question, I would definitely slap you to death."

"Um, I’m sorry, I’m sorry. I was just asking casually, just asking casually."

Meng Xianjun quickly apologized, unable to resist asking, "But is she your biological mother?"

"Of course she is! We’ve done a paternity test, and she’s definitely my biological mother."

Lu Xiaolu shouted in frustration.

Meng Xianjun was bewildered, wondering if there were two targets from Songlan City.

According to his information, the target from Songlan City didn’t have a mother, at least not a biological one. But Lu Xiaolu had a mark and a mother; what was going on?

"What’s wrong with you?"

Shao Wuyou nudged Meng Xianjun, "You shouldn’t flirt in such a manner. And besides, don’t overstep with a friend’s wife."

"Ah, got it, got it."

Meng Xianjun nodded repeatedly, then fell silent; just as he was about to walk, he saw Lu Xiaolu suddenly stop, almost causing him to bump into her, "What’s wrong?"

Lu Xiaolu’s face turned pale, staring ahead.

Standing in front was Zhao Yan and a pale-faced man in white with long hair.

"Xiaolu, we meet again."

Zhao Yan smiled playfully at Lu Xiaolu, "I promised I would make you regret choosing Tang Ming, and today is the day I fulfill that promise."

"What do you want to do?"

Lu Xiaolu stepped back, nervously watching Zhao Yan.

"Since I can’t have you, I will ruin you. It’s unfortunate that my previous arrangement wasn’t enough to destroy Tang Ming’s woman; such a pity."

Zhao Yan sneered regretfully.

"You were the one who sent those people to attack us?"

Lu Xiaolu looked at Zhao Yan in disbelief, wide-eyed.

"Wow, Zhao Yan, you’re bold. Aren’t you afraid of being beaten up by Tang Ming?"

Shao Wuyou was instantly furious, pointing at Zhao Yan: "And you’re just a student, doing such despicable things to a group of defenseless girls; it’s utterly inhumane."

"Hahaha, Tang Ming is nothing!"

Zhao Yan laughed wildly and pointed to the man beside him, "Let me introduce, this is my childhood friend Xing Kang. Compared to him, Tang Ming is trash. If I had known he’d arrive so quickly, I wouldn’t have bothered using plans to deal with you."

"The ’Fearsome Ghost’ Xing Kang."

Meng Xianjun squinted, coldly staring at Xing Kang, "I was wondering who uses silver threads as weapons; turns out it’s you."

"You’ve seen the silver threads?"

Xing Kang, who had maintained a blank expression, was now surprised. Earlier, to help Zhao Yan with the silencing, he swiftly killed those swordsmen. He thought his actions were flawless, but someone had noticed the flaws.

"Tang Ming found your weapon among the deceased’s hair. I fear that from now on, your ’Fearsome Ghost’ tactics will be known to the world."

Meng Xianjun smiled faintly, "However, you, as a disciple from a secretive family, causing trouble in the city, isn’t that a bit excessive?"

"Who exactly are you?"

Xing Kang’s expression turned serious; anyone who knew him so well was definitely not ordinary.

"Wuyou, you take Xiaolu away first."

Meng Xianjun ignored Xing Kang and softly reminded him.

"Why leave? Just these two morons dared to attack a group of girls; I’m calling Tang Ming right now to come beat them up."

Shao Wuyou immediately pulled out his phone.

Xing Kang quickly raised his hand, pointing at Shao Wuyou.

"Why call? Tang Ming is busy right now."

Meng Xianjun slapped Shao Wuyou’s hand, scolding him.

Xing Kang’s pupils instantly constricted, staring at Meng Xianjun’s hand with horror. He had just launched three assaults at Shao Wuyou, but Meng Xianjun casually intercepted all three, his right hand catching the invisible silver threads.

"Your methods truly suit the name ’Fearsome Ghost,’ but once exposed to the light, they are ineffective for many."

Meng Xianjun sneered disdainfully.

"You think you’re going to alert Tang Ming? Dream on."

Zhao Yan smirked coldly, speaking with a murderous air, "We’ll finish off you guys and capture Lu Xiaolu. No one will know it was us. Once I’ve had my fill of this woman, I’ll go back to deal with Tang Ming, let him see how his woman has been ruined, and watch what he can do to me."
