"Master, I’m talking serious business with you!"
Tang Ming growled through gritted teeth, feeling like he might just spit blood if the conversation continued this way.
"Alright, alright!"
Tang Cha chuckled, then said in a low voice:
"Co ho, as long as this old man is not dead, this place is your safe harbor."
"Master."
Hearing this, Tang Ming was sowhat moved, feeling a sourness in his nose, the old man after all did care about him.
After hanging up the phone, Tang Ming felt a swirl of emotions. Although the old guy was shaless, brazen, and not at all serious... he knew the old guy cared for and cherished him deeply, otherwise he wouldn’t have taught him all his skills.
After this exchange, Tang Ming really started to miss ho.
"Decided, I will go ho imdiately after sorting things out!"
Tang Ming took a deep breath and imdiately stepped on the gas, heading towards the direction of the Liu Family villa.
When Tang Ming left the hospital, Liu Gaoze, who was at the company, got the news at the first instance and notified Liu ngting and Li Xiaoli who had been anxiously waiting.
Hearing that Tang Ming was coming back, the two won were overjoyed, commanding the kitchen to prepare a great feast to reward Tang Ming properly.
Soon, Tang Ming drove into the villa’s courtyard.
"Brother Tang Ming, you’re back, huh?" Li Xiaoli rushed up imdiately, exclaiming excitedly:
"I just knew you’d be fine, look at that color, you’re definitely all better now!"
Liu ngting followed behind Li Xiaoli and, although she wasn’t as enthusiastic, her eyes were also filled with joy and excitent.
"Of course, I’m the indestructible cockroach, how could I be hurt by that lousy rock?"
After getting out of the car, Tang Ming pretended as if nothing was wrong, said with a smug face, "Why do you all have dark circles under your eyes? It couldn’t possibly be because you missed , could it?"
"Heh, still so annoying," Liu ngting glared at Tang Ming fiercely, though the huge weight in her heart finally lifted.
"Missed you, we almost missed you to death," Li Xiaoli shouted dramatically:
"Co inside quick, we’ve prepared a feast and we want to pamper you."
"Then I really need to eat a big al!" Tang Ming said cheerfully as he followed the two won into the villa.
As soon as they entered, Liu ngting whispered:
"Thank you so much this ti. If it wasn’t for you risking your life to save us, Xiaoli and I would have been goners!"
"Heh, it was okay," Tang Ming smiled faintly, nodding thoughtfully.
"Alright, now that everything is fine, it’s a cause for celebration," Li Xiaoli greeted enthusiastically:
"Brother Tang Ming, you’ve been unconscious for so long, you must be starving, let’s eat sothing first!"
"Right, right, let’s eat first, we prepared a lot of your favorite foods," Liu ngting also worried that Tang Ming might be hungry, quickly echoed.
Soon, Tang Ming and the two won sat down around the dining table.
At that mont, the table was laden with various delicious dishes, all in generous portions, of course, especially prepared for Tang Ming the big eater.
"Geez, I really am hungry, let’s eat first then talk,"
Tang Ming rubbed his stomach and began eating without any pretense.
Liu ngting and Li Xiaoli, still frightened by the day’s events, then expressed their gratitude to Tang Ming together.
About fifteen minutes later, Tang Ming patted his stomach and, belching, said:
"I’m full, so stuffed!"
"Ah!" Hearing this, Liu ngting and Li Xiaoli both froze, then stared at Tang Ming with peculiar looks.
At this point, the table full of food had barely been touched, and Tang Ming had only eaten two bowls of rice and so vegetables, far from his usual intake.
"ng ng sister, did I hear that wrong?" Li Xiaoli dug at her ear, saying uncertainly:
"Ever since I’ve known Tang Ming, I’ve never heard him say he was full!"
"Yeah, sothing seems off with this glutton today," echoed Liu ngting, equally puzzled.
Tang Ming’s face changed slightly as he realized he had actually eaten enough!
"It seems my physical condition is even worse than anticipated. I really can’t rely on eating to store energy anymore!"
Tang Ming felt a sudden sadness upon realizing he was sated.
Tang Ming’s body could transform food into energy and store it. Before, he had thought that even if his cultivation was gone, he could still handle so dangers by relying on storing energy...
Now it seed that this last resort was also useless.
"Recovering from a serious illness, it’s not suitable to eat too much," Tang Ming said with a faint smile, by way of explanation:
"Don’t make a big fuss, give a bit of ti, and I guarantee I’ll finish everything."
"So that’s why! I knew Tang Ming couldn’t possibly eat so little," Li Xiaoli said, nodding her head as if suddenly comprehending.
"Exactly, a glutton will always be a glutton," Liu ngting laughed as well.
"While we have a break, I have sothing to tell you," Tang Ming wiped his mouth and, looking at Liu ngting seriously, said, "Miss, I want to terminate our contract."
"What?" Liu ngting’s smile stiffened, and she quickly asked:
"What do you an by that?"
Li Xiaoli, too, was stunned, staring intently at Tang Ming.
"To be clear, I don’t want to be your bodyguard anymore," Tang Ming said, picking up a toothpick and picking at his teeth as he spoke:
"I thought being your bodyguard ant just being an attendant, accompanying you to school, carrying your bags, but I didn’t expect it to be so dangerous. If it weren’t for you dragging down and making hesitate, I wouldn’t have nearly lost my life. I’m done!"
"You, you’re scared?" Liu ngting looked at Tang Ming uncertainly, feeling an aching in her heart. Was this the sa Tang Ming who had previously been fearless, even in the face of death, for her sake?
"Yeah, I’m human, I’m afraid of death. For the sake of my own safety, I have no choice but to walk away."
Tang Ming shrugged nonchalantly, speaking with a hint of residual fear: "You saw how dangerous it was this ti. I was so close to biting the dust. I don’t want to lose my life over a few tens of thousands of dollars."
Hearing this, Liu ngting’s face turned sour, but she didn’t know how to respond. This was all too sudden.
Although she was initially unsatisfied with Tang Ming as a bodyguard, after spending so long together, she had developed a dependency and even an affection for him. She had been reluctant at the thought of Tang Ming eventually leaving, but now he was actually about to go.
"Tang Ming brother, you’re really leaving?" Li Xiaoli said weakly, rolling her eyes:
"Don’t forget, you’ve signed a contract, and if you break it, you owe a million in compensation."
"Heh, to save you this ti, I borrowed a hundred million on behalf of the Liu family. The interest on that money should be enough to cover the compensation, right?"
Tang Ming asked back lightly.
