Chapter 951: Chapter 951

Lengzhan returned to the Ming Group to report the situation to Fu Tianyou, and Fu Tianyou almost exploded with anger when he saw Ling Shengtian.

If he had known earlier that Ling Shengtian had gone crazy, he definitely wouldn’t have spent 200 million to buy him back. Damn, buying a madman back is useless. Even if he stayed in the Dark Group, he couldn’t possibly leak the secrets of the Ming Group. Such a waste of money.

Although the Ming Group is quite wealthy, getting scammed out of two billion yuan by Tang Ming still hurt them substantially. Fu Tianyou didn’t know how to explain it to the higher-ups.

What made it worse was that the situation at the Imperial Capital Experimental Base was deteriorating. After the personnel from the Biological Department returned, not only did they fail to resolve the poison gas issue in the lab, but they also ended up sending over a dozen people to the hospital, all poisoned with an incurable toxin. Such a disaster.

Helplessly, the Ming Group had to abandon the idea of reclaiming the lab.

As soon as they gave up, Lin Canghai informed Tang Ming, and then Tang Ming dispatched members of the Poison Sect to the Imperial City to take over the lab, laying a poison array in the abandoned factory to claim it completely.

On the thirteenth day of the first month, there were still two days before Tang Ming’s trip to the Imperial City.

"So boring, so boring."

Li Xiaoli lay on the sofa in the villa, shouting in utter boredom, "Wei’er is busy tutoring students for side income, and little Cang is always mysteriously busy and out of sight. Meng Meng and I have nothing to do but eat and sleep all day. It’s so boring."

"Haven’t you been playing games all the time?"

Tang Ming, reading the newspaper, disdainfully reminded her.

"Even games can become boring after a while!"

Li Xiaoli rolled her eyes at Tang Ming then looked at Liu Mengting, who was playing games: "Meng Meng, isn’t that right?"

"Not at all, I find it quite fun."

Liu Mengting replied without even lifting her head.

"You’re a lost cause."

Li Xiaoli rolled her eyes, knowing Liu Mengting was trying hard to surpass Xia Wei’er in gaming, but talent is what counts in games, and no matter how much Liu Mengting practiced, she couldn’t catch up to Xia Wei’er, the gaming prodigy.

"Brother Tang Ming, please find something fun for me; otherwise, I’m going to go crazy with boredom."

Li Xiaoli looked at Tang Ming pitifully, pleading.

"What fun can I provide, I..."

Just as Tang Ming was about to speak, his phone rang.

"Boss, there’s something..."

Once the call connected, Chu Batian quickly reported.

"Interesting, some fun is here."

After a brief chat, Tang Ming hung up the phone and smiled at Li Xiaoli.

Li Xiaoli immediately got excited, watching Tang Ming with anticipation.

"What fun can he have; all he does is eat."

Playing games, Liu Mengting sarcastically ridiculed him.

"Haha, your fiancé is here."

Tang Ming yawned and laughed.

Liu Mengting was so startled that she dropped her phone uncontrollably.

"Meng Meng’s fiancé showed up?"

Li Xiaoli was also shocked. She knew Liu Mengting had a legendary fiancé and had even wanted Tang Ming to teach that fiancé a lesson. She didn’t expect him to actually show up.

"What’s with your reactions?" Tang Ming scratched his nose, looking at the two women oddly.

"No way, he can’t come to my house. I don’t want to see him."

Liu Mengting shook her head frantically, her eyes avoiding Tang Ming, as she internally struggled. If that previous fiancé showed up, she would definitely have Tang Ming beat him up, but now she felt a guilty sense of infidelity.

"He’s already in the yard; I’m afraid you have no choice but to meet him."

Tang Ming shrugged helplessly and sighed, "Why don’t you come with me to see him? After all, he was good to you both in the past."

"What do you mean, ’in the past’? I don’t even know him..."

Liu Mengting stood up in surprise, then looked at Tang Ming in confusion: "Who are you talking about?"

"Yeah, yeah, I’ve never met Meng Meng’s fiancé either; why do you say he was good to us?"

Li Xiaoli curiously looked at Tang Ming.

"Women indeed change their stance quickly; Yao Buji was so good to you back then, and now you’re pretending not to know him?"

Tang Ming muttered disdainfully.

"Yao Buji? You mean that old guy?"

Liu Mengting’s eyes widened, and she breathed a sigh of relief, thinking it was her fiancé!

"Wow, is that old dude still alive? This is going to be fun."

Li Xiaoli, realizing the truth, exclaimed with excitement.

"He’s in the yard. Let’s go take a look."

Tang Ming chuckled, stood up, and led the two women toward the door.

Upon stepping out of the villa, they saw Yao Buji with a middle-aged man in a dusty white robe confronting Chu Batian in the yard.

"Chu Batian, I’m not here to cause trouble, don’t act rashly."

Yao Buji looked at Chu Batian with apprehension, trying his best to explain.

"Then why are you here?"

Chu Batian stared warily at the man in the white robe.

"I’m here to see Tang Ming..."

"Looking for me? I thought you were here to marry your two fiancées."

Tang Ming approached with a smile.

"Oh my, isn’t it Brother Yao? Is your ’little’ thing still not fixed?"

Li Xiaoli exclaimed in surprise.

Yao Buji’s mouth twitched at this comment; Li Xiaoli was still as naughty as before, hitting where it hurts.

Liu Mengting pulled on Li Xiaoli, observing Yao Buji and his companion: "You don’t look well; have you run into some trouble? Is there something we can help with?"

"Ah, I’m genuinely in trouble this time."

Yao Buji sighed, glancing bitterly at the middle-aged man beside him and introduced, "This is Mr. Liu Bi, leader of our Flowing Cloud Sect."

Li Xiaoli interrupted in astonishment before Yao Buji could finish, crying incredulously: "Is there really someone with such a name? Sounds so pompous!"

"Disrespectful, my name is Liu Bi, Liu from Liu Bei, Bi from Red Cliff."

Liu Bi growled, his face darkening.

"Haha, with a name like that, you’re destined for nothing great this lifetime."

Tang Ming laughed coldly and disdainfully said, "Liu Bei was a broken ruler, while Red Cliff is a place where strong ones lost; judging by the name, I can tell your Flowing Cloud Sect is in trouble?"

"You..." Liu Bi was furious.

"Sect Master, Sect Master!"

Yao Buji immediately pulled Liu Bi aside, helplessly advising, "We’ve come here to seek help; please endure and avoid conflict."

Liu Bi nodded, enduring the humiliation, lamenting how a dragon stranded in shallow waters was toyed with by shrimp, and a tiger fallen in flatlands was bullied by dogs!

"Come on, let’s talk inside."

Tang Ming smirked, though he felt displeased with the high-and-mighty Liu Bi, he was also curious about what had happened to these guys for them to end up so badly. Moreover, as the Group Leader of the Martial Arts Inspection Team, he felt responsible for understanding any sect upheaval.
