"Ha, the Ma Family has no interest in being enemies with Tang Ming either. I’d advise you, Brother Zhou, not to provoke Tang Ming either. This man is not soone we can afford to offend."
Ma Tong said with an awkward smile. He was already considering how to obtain the Detoxification Pill from Tang Ming to neutralize the poison in his own body, so he worried that Zhou Zhen might actually kill Tang Ming.
"Why is that?"
Zhou Zhen asked with a tightly furrowed brow. Today’s events were too bizarre, leaving him completely confused.
"Asking why at this point is pointless. I don’t believe the Zhou Family hasn’t taken action against Tang Ming," Ma Tong said with a suggestive smile as he stood up:
"In any case, the Ma Family won’t join hands with the Zhou Family against Tang Ming. Take care of yourself, old brother."
"Wait, you must tell what exactly happened?"
Zhou Zhen called out unwillingly.
"No comnt." Ma Tong shook his head, then left without looking back.
"What the hell is going on?"
A plan originally thought to be a win-win cooperation unraveled just like that. Zhou Zhen roared in anger and slamd his hand down, smashing the table to pieces.
"Pfft!" Anger and the end of the stimulant’s effect made the old master Zhou spit out a mouthful of fresh blood, and he collapsed onto the chair.
"What happened, and how did Qin Aotian and Ma Tong leave, did they strike a deal... What happened to Father?"
Zhou Xianren, entering the private room, suddenly paled and called out anxiously.
"Heaven forsakes my Zhou Family!"
The old master Zhou wailed in agony, then fainted.
The Zhou Family’s last plan against Tang Ming died in the womb. After this shock and the effects of taking stimulants, the old master Zhou completely collapsed and couldn’t even get out of bed.
Zhou Xianren took the old master back ho and, after learning the whole story and finding out from the doctor that the old master was not long for this world, acted imdiately.
Soon, news of the old master Zhou’s critical illness spread, throwing the Zhou Family into complete chaos.
Three days later, Tang Ming, with two big dark circles under his eyes, stood at the elentary school’s senior high score announcent board, panting heavily alongside Liu ngting and Li Xiaoli, waiting for the exam results to be announced.
"Brother Ming, drink a bottle of Red Bull to keep going, the kind only you can drink."
Chen Cang approached Tang Ming with a flattering look, handing him two cans of Red Bull with extra ingredients.
"You’re thoughtful." Tang Ming said tiredly:
"These two ladies forced to study these past few days. I’ve only slept seven hours in three days. I’m dead tired."
Chen Cang grinned and said excitedly:
"With your condition, Brother Ming, even if you cramd before the test, you couldn’t possibly score higher than ."
"Hmm, don’t be so sure?" Li Xiaoli turned around and glared fiercely at Chen Cang.
"Tang Ming, if you make go out with him, I’ll never let you off the hook."
Liu ngting looked coldly at Tang Ming, regretting inside: "I was too impulsive before, why did I agree to such a bet? Tang Ming is clearly a slacker, how could he study?"
"Fair’s fair, ng Ting, just wait and see our date," Chen Cang grinned, excitedly saying:
"I’ve already booked a riverside private room at Ming Island Restaurant and 999 roses, plus VIP cinema tickets, guaranteed to give you an unforgettable date."
"Hmm, I’ve also prepared a video cara to record you barking like a dog."
Li Xiaoli took out a DV cara and said fiercely.
"Hahaha, probably won’t need that, but it could be useful to record my romantic date with ng Ting. You’re really thoughtful."
Chen Cang burst into triumphant laughter.
Just then, a school staff mber appeared in front of the announcent board and loudly said:
"The midterm exam results will be announced soon, please make sure students check their own class and na. Students under the red line are those who failed to et the overall passing criteria."
Upon hearing this, Liu ngting and Li Xiaoli grew nervous, staring intently at the staff mber about to pull down the red cloth.
"Brother Ming, do you think I should prepare a diamond ring and propose to ngting while I’m at it?"
Chen Cang stood confidently next to Tang Ming, eagerly asking.
"You’d better prepare a mask or a face cover instead," Tang Ming suggested lifelessly while sipping on Red Bull.
"What do you an?" Chen Cang looked at Tang Ming, puzzled.
"Here it cos."
After the red cloth was pulled away, Li Xiaoli imdiately shouted loudly, then dragged Liu ngting to the front to search for Tang Ming’s na on the blackboard, though the two girls started searching from the bottom.
"Hahaha, Brother Ming actually passed!"
Li Xiaoli suddenly exclaid excitedly: "Brother Ming’s na isn’t on the list of those who failed."
"This guy actually managed to pass?"
Liu ngting looked at Tang Ming in surprise.
"Wow, Brother Ming, not bad, actually passing."
Upon hearing Liu ngting and Li Xiaoli’s remarks, Chen Cang exaggeratedly gave Tang Ming a thumbs up.
"Strange, I still haven’t seen Brother Ming’s na yet,"
Looking further up, Li Xiaoli grew puzzled.
"This guy didn’t just hand in a blank paper, did he?" Liu ngting’s expression turned solemn as she looked at Chen Cang’s na and said:
"Chen Cang ranked fifty-ninth for the entire school year, what about Tang Ming?"
"No way, no way, maybe Brother Ming’s na is above Chen Cang’s, then we’ve won."
Li Xiaoli continued to look up nervously.
"Brother Ming, you didn’t really hand in a blank sheet, did you?"
Hearing that Tang Ming’s na wasn’t below his own, Chen Cang frowned.
"No, I finished writing everything, as for how many points I could get, I don’t know."
Tang Ming said earnestly.
"You’ve got to be kidding!" Chen Cang quickly pushed through the crowd to search for Tang Ming’s na himself.
"Good gracious, we’re already in the top ten, could it be that Brother Ming didn’t write his na on the paper, and that’s why there are no scores for him?"
Li Xiaoli guessed doubtfully.
"That’s extrely likely, he’s definitely capable of doing sothing like that."
Liu ngting nodded repeatedly, her face full of despair, "Forget it, let the damn fly benefit."
"Hey, this is so frustrating, all our cramming for Brother Ming for nothing, and I only ranked seventh, Brother Ming has no hope."
Upon seeing her own na, Li Xiaoli also gave up.
"Hahaha, thanks to Brother Ming, I can finally go on a date with ngting!"
Chen Cang couldn’t help but burst out laughing.
"Tang Ming, congratulations!" Just then, Xia Wei’er suddenly ca over.
"Why are you congratulating him?" Liu ngting asked suspiciously.
"Haven’t you seen the scorecard? Tang Ming is the champion of this midterm exam, ranking first in the whole school year."
Xia Wei’er blinked, reminding them admiringly.
