Mo Hongsheng and Nangong Tianyue seed to be arguing. Nangong Tianyue reached out to grab Mo Hongsheng’s arm but was shaken off by him.
"What the hell is going on?"
Tang Ming shivered; this scene looked a bit like a couple’s quarrel.
Could it be that Mo Hongsheng and Nangong Tianyue are just good buddies?
Moreover, Mo Hongsheng actually knew Nangong Tianyue. What on earth is their relationship?
Although filled with doubts, Tang Ming had no mind to ddle in others’ affairs now. After glancing a few tis, he continued towards Frank’s restaurant.
In the woods, after shaking off Nangong Tianyue’s arm, Mo Hongsheng pointed at his face and angrily shouted, "Nangong Tianyue, doing this at school is just too vicious."
"Can’t you lower your voice? Do you really want the whole world to know it was who poisoned those students?"
Nangong Tianyue looked at Mo Hongsheng with a nacing expression.
"If you had agreed to let do experints in your hotel, would I have resorted to such desperate asures?"
"You bastard! The experint hasn’t succeeded yet, and the participants of the experint could very well die. If you tamper with my guests in the hotel and sothing happens to them, what about the hotel’s reputation?"
Mo Hongsheng furiously reprimanded.
"That’s why I targeted the students."
Nangong Tianyue coldly chuckled, squinting as he said, "To succeed, sacrifices must be made. Without live experints, how can breakthroughs in research be achieved?"
"You, you’re simply unreasonable."
Mo Hongsheng was so angry he couldn’t speak, gritting his teeth as he warned, "I don’t care what your reasons are. If sothing like this happens again, I will certainly expose you."
"Ha, expose ? Don’t forget the Mo Family is also one of those involved in the research. If you expose , you might as well be pushing the Mo Family into a pit of fire."
Nangong Tianyue laughed coldly and said nonchalantly, "The dicine Sect is large and resilient, but the Mo Family is a business family. If the truth cos out, the Mo Family’s reputation will be ruined."
"Don’t try to scare . What I, Mo Hongsheng, say is like spilled water. If you dare act recklessly again, I will show you what I am capable of."
Mo Hongsheng promised firmly before turning and walking away.
"Damn it."
As he watched Mo Hongsheng’s departing figure, a stormy expression clouded Nangong Tianyue’s face.
This risky experint at the school was partly for research needs and partly a declaration of war against the Tang brothers.
Acting under the nose of Songlan City to see how the Tang brothers would react, he never expected Tang Ming to actually save those students in the hospital, causing his plan to fall through.
Now confronted and questioned by Mo Hongsheng, Nangong Tianyue felt utterly vexed, and the more this happened, the more relentless he beca.
Frank’s restaurant had already been sealed off by police. After extensive searches, the police set up a cordon outside.
With no evidence found, the police appointed two school security guards to guard the site, preventing students from approaching.
Tang Ming swaggered over to the outer side of the cordon, lifted the tape, and prepared to enter the restaurant.
"Stop right there. This area has been sealed off. No one is allowed to approach."
The two security guards hurriedly stepped forward to stop Tang Ming’s actions.
"I’m a student here and need to enter the restaurant to investigate the case, please allow ."
Tang Ming entered the cordon, smiling as he said.
"If you’re a student, go to class. This is not a detective novel. This isn’t sothing you students can get involved with."
An older security guard sternly reprimanded, "We haven’t even found out why students are fainting here. What if you faint after going in?"
"Kids nowadays really don’t know their limits. Read a few novels and think they are detectives."
The younger security guard looked at Tang Ming with disdain.
"I..."
Hearing this, Tang Ming felt helpless, yet knowing these two guards were following orders, he didn’t lose his temper.
"I really am here to investigate. If you don’t believe it, I can call Officer Lin from the police station. She knows who I am."
Tang Ming pulled out his phone and prepared to call Lin Xue.
"Officer Lin? Which Officer Lin?"
The young guard looked puzzled at the older guard.
"Lin Xue from the Criminal Investigation Team at the police station."
The older guard frowned. Although not regular military, since the school security departnt often cooperated with the police, he knew about Lin Xue. Could this kid really know her?
"Hello, Lin Xue? This is Tang Ming. Have you returned to Songlan yet?"
Once the call was connected, Tang Ming asked directly.
"What do you want?"
Lin Xue asked guardedly, now that she was Tang Xin’s nominal fiancé. Did Tang Ming want to stir up trouble with her?
"Sothing happened at Frank’s Restaurant at our school. I need to go in to investigate the case, but the two school security guards aren’t letting . I can’t force my way in. Can you talk to them for ?"
Tang Ming got straight to the point.
"Is that so!"
Lin Xue breathed a sigh of relief, "Give them the phone; let have a word with them."
Afterwards, Tang Ming handed his phone to the older guard, and regardless of what Lin Xue said, after the call ended, the security guards let him through.
Tang Ming pocketed his phone and entered Frank’s Restaurant.
Inside, everything in the restaurant remained as it was when the police first arrived, with outlines on the floor marking where students had fainted.
After scanning the scene, Tang Ming walked straight to the table where Li Xiaoli and the others had sat.
"Table 23."
Tang Ming arrived at the table Li Xiaoli had specified.
Everything was still on the table, and the partially eaten food of Liu ngting and the others was covered with cling film or similar, already sealed up.
"Liu ngting sat in this spot."
Tang Ming sat in the seat Liu ngting had occupied, curiously examining the things in front of him.
"Ah..."
Just as Tang Ming prepared to check the food from Liu ngting’s perspective, a scream suddenly ca from outside.
"What’s happening?"
Startled, Tang Ming quickly rose and headed outside.
There were only the two security guards outside; had they also been poisoned?
At the restaurant entrance, four or five young n in black outfits surrounded the previous guard, kicking and punching him, while the young guard clutched his leg, sitting on the ground, crying out incessantly.
"You damn well dare to block our way, have you got a death wish?"
A dark-skinned, crew-cut youth savagely kicked the older guard, cursing viciously.
"Bastards, we’re school security responsible for maintaining safety. Do you have any respect for the law?"
The young guard clutched his leg, shouting furiously.
"The law? Ha, we are the law. If you dare defy us, that’s against the law. A bunch of temps acting so tough!"
