According to the above regulations, the Ming Group has no right to interfere in matters where the Dark Group is involved, and now Tang Ming’s actions have clearly violated this rule.
"Heh, what you said was before."
Tang Ming sneered coldly and said proudly:
"Now that our Dark Group has won the competition, we can manage you as we please. What are you going to do about it? Complain? Feel free to complain!"
"We’ve received orders from our superiors to take over the case here, you can’t interfere."
Upon hearing this, Zhang Yong beca furious.
"Get lost, or I’ll kill you right now."
Tang Ming impatiently warned, "Do you still think our Dark Group is the sa as when you used to bully us? Now even if I beat you to death, soone will still cover for . If you don’t believe it, try it."
"You..."
"Brother Yong, don’t say anything."
Soone imdiately pulled Zhang Yong back, warning cautiously, "West Sea Province is Tang Xin’s territory. Since this person is a mber of the Dark Group, it’s very likely he is under Tang Xin! Even if he kills us, Tang Xin can’t do anything to him. We should leave?"
Nowadays, Tang Xin has beco a nightmare for the mbers of the Ming Group. Thinking of how the entire Dark Group was tornted by Tang Xin, Zhang Yong suddenly shivered.
"Let’s go, let’s go."
Terrified by the thought of Tang Xin, Zhang Yong hastily told his companions to support him and leave the scene.
The Ming Group can no longer afford to provoke the Dark Group, and with Songlan being Tang Xin’s territory, there would be no good outco if a conflict arose.
"A bunch of garbage."
After Zhang Yong and the others left, Tang Ming helped the young security guard up and stopped the bleeding for him.
"Thank you."
The young security guard quickly thanked him, reflecting that even though they belonged to special departnts, the difference between people from the Dark Group and those from the Ming Group was stark.
Tang Ming, after appearing earlier, although wanted to enter, he didn’t reveal his identity nor cause trouble and only entered the restaurant through the police system!
In contrast, the guys from the Ming Group were arrogant and forceful, even resorting to violence; the difference was too great.
"I temporarily helped you stop the bleeding. Go to the hospital to take care of your wounds. I’ll take over the situation here, is there any problem?"
After stopping the bleeding, Tang Ming asked with a smile.
"No problem, no problem."
The two security guards quickly shook their heads. Given the circumstances, they didn’t have the courage to say otherwise.
After the two security guards left, Tang Ming once again entered the dining hall and began to taste the five dishes and one soup on the table, where Liu ngting had sat, one bite at a ti.
"Is there nothing wrong?"
Tang Ming ate through everything but showed no signs of poisoning, which puzzled him.
Taking out a note Liu ngting had written, Tang Ming ate through everything again, comparing with the items on it, yet still found nothing suspicious.
"What about the sour plum drink?"
Upon careful comparison, Tang Ming realized that one thing Liu ngting had touched was missing, and noticed an empty cup on the table, which was precisely the cup Liu ngting had used.
"Looks like she drank it all."
Tang Ming suddenly understood as he looked at the drinks of Chen Cang and Li Xiaoli, Sprite, and orange juice.
"That’s it."
Tang Ming’s eyes lit up. With everything on the dining table besides the drinks being the sa, if the food was problematic, Li Xiaoli and Chen Cang would also be affected. Yet, only Liu ngting was poisoned, so the only issue could be with the sour plum drink.
Tang Ming grabbed Liu ngting’s cup and headed toward the bar.
Having been to Frank’s restaurant before, he knew these drinks were served by the waiters from a drink dispenser.
Entering the bar, Tang Ming drew a cup from the sour plum drink dispenser, first inspecting it with his eyes, then slling it under his nose.
"Seems like nothing’s wrong?"
Tang Ming furrowed his brows. Externally, nothing appeared wrong, so he had to take the risk.
Without hesitation, Tang Ming drank the sour plum drink. Anyway, as long as it was poison, his body would definitely have a way to absorb it; even unknown poison wouldn’t harm him...
"Ah!"
Before he could put down the cup, Tang Ming scread in agony.
"What is this?"
Sweating profusely in pain, Tang Ming quickly sat cross-legged and began to cultivate.
Suddenly, Tang Ming’s muscles began to swell rapidly, as they would when he used his energy for attacks, then quickly shrank, over and over...
Ti passed...
Tang Ming’s forehead was covered with beads of sweat...
After an unknown amount of ti, Tang Ming’s body gradually returned to normal.
At the sa ti, the look of pain on Tang Ming’s face disappeared.
He suddenly opened his eyes and jumped up, extrely excited, pacing back and forth while muttering:
"So good, so good, what is going on? Is it a stimulant?"
At this mont, Tang Ming was bouncing around the restaurant like he was high on stimulants, but he was also thinking quickly.
"This is definitely not a stimulant. Once the substance entered, it imdiately reacted with my cells, trying to eliminate the Dust Gu within . Fortunately, my Poison Skill was profound enough to prevent it from succeeding. Now that my body was stimulated, my cultivation even improved a bit."
Tang Ming reminisced about the situation that had occurred within his body while eagerly eyeing the half-barrel of sour plum drink left in the machine.
This stuff was a type of poison Tang Ming had never encountered before, completely different from known poisons but similarly capable of enhancing his cultivation, boasting more power than the biochemical poison gas from the Ming Group.
"I’ve struck big, struck big. As long as I research the components and manufacturing thod of this thing, I can use it to breakthrough to Nine-star Martial Master, or even higher levels."
Tang Ming jumped in front of the drink dispenser, lifting it up and running out with it.
Although he didn’t know what this thing was, it had entirely ignited his curiosity.
Tang Ming drove to the Liu Group, then lugged the machine straight to Liu Gaoze’s office.
Having taken Liu ngting back to the villa, Liu Gaoze had just returned to the office and was preparing to change clothes for work when he received a report from his subordinate that Tang Ming had arrived and seed to be acting crazy.
Before Liu Gaoze could go out to greet him, Tang Ming kicked the door to the office wide open and charged in.
"Little Tang, what’s this all about..."
Almost hit by the door, Liu Gaoze looked at Tang Ming with bewildernt.
"Uncle Liu, I need to go to the military’s special research lab. Can you arrange a dedicated laboratory for ?"
Carrying the drink machine, Tang Ming paced back and forth in the office, speaking excitedly: "I’ve already identified the reason why Liu ngting and the others were poisoned, it’s because they drank the sour plum drink from Frank’s restaurant. Soone tampered with it."
"Ah!"
Liu Gaoze nodded, looking at Tang Ming in astonishnt. This was too different from the composed and calm Tang Ming he previously knew.
"Ah, what? Hurry and arrange a lab for ."
Tang Ming shouted anxiously.
