My Co-renting Lady Boss-Chapter 1592 - 1591: Red Cherry Blossom Association
"Good idea, turning the tables, brilliant."
Wu Tian couldn’t help but applaud.
"If no one comes forward to claim the body, we naturally won’t be held responsible, and we can also showcase Longya’s way of doing things and boost our reputation, killing two birds with one stone."
Zhou Xiong continued explaining.
"Not bad, not bad, let’s do it your way."
Wu Tian nodded repeatedly, even more satisfied with Zhou Xiong’s suggestion.
"Damn it."
Seeing his spotlight stolen by Zhou Xiong, Fu Tianyou’s face looked unusually grim, yet he was helpless.
Meanwhile, in a hotel near the school, the Liu brothers were eagerly waiting for news from Liu Zhendong.
"Big brother, do you think uncle can really take down Tang Ming?"
Liu Xing asked Liu Chen worriedly.
"Don’t worry, uncle is a Nine-star Peak Martial Master, far stronger than the top fighters in the Urban System, both Ming Group and Dark Group. Dealing with Tang Ming is naturally a piece of cake, there will certainly be no problem."
Liu Chen nodded firmly, full of confidence in Liu Zhendong.
"But it’s almost midnight, why hasn’t he returned yet?"
Liu Xing glanced at the time, rubbing his eyes, "My left eyelid won’t stop twitching, I always feel something bad is going to happen. Could uncle have encountered some danger?"
"Stop talking nonsense, uncle is a strong Nine-star Peak Martial Master, no one in the Urban System can harm him."
Liu Chen glared fiercely at Liu Xing, "Just wait, I’m sure uncle will bring us a surprise."
"Alright."
Liu Xing hesitated but could only lay quietly on the bed waiting for news.
The two brothers waited till dawn but still received no news from Liu Zhendong. Eventually, even Liu Chen couldn’t sit still and started reaching out to find out Liu Zhendong’s situation, but unfortunately, nothing came up.
"What’s going on? Why is there no news from uncle all night?"
Liu Chen looked at his phone in a dilemma, he couldn’t get through when calling Liu Zhendong, could something really have happened?
"I have a bad feeling about this."
Liu Xing swallowed his saliva, "Should we just run now?"
"Run where?"
Liu Chen looked at Liu Xing speechlessly, "We are from the Liu Family, how can we run away from the enemy so easily? Besides, we don’t know the situation yet."
"But it’s been all night, and there’s still no news from uncle, I feel it’s more bad than good."
Liu Xing shook his head worriedly.
"It is a bit suspicious, regardless of success or not, uncle should not have lost contact with us."
Liu Chen frowned, "But we can’t just leave like this, what if uncle succeeded and couldn’t find us when he returns? Wouldn’t that make him more anxious?"
"What should we do then? School is on break, Tang Ming and others have gone on vacation..."
"Got it! Let’s head to the resort where Tang Ming and others are to gather information and see if Tang Ming is still alive."
Liu Chen came up with an idea, squinting his eyes, "If Tang Ming is still alive, it means uncle not only failed but might have fallen, then we have to return to the family."
"Better not go to the resort, I’m afraid of being beaten to death."
Liu Xing looked at Liu Chen apprehensively, "I’ll ask others, someone should be able to keep an eye on Tang Ming and his friends’ social media, just looking at their updates will suffice."
After some discussion, the two brothers immediately took a rest, and by noon, they found out from members of the small Martial Arts community that Tang Ming and his crew were indeed on vacation and from the photos on social media, they seemed to be having a great time.
Upon receiving this news, the two were utterly disheartened and without further ado, immediately booked flights to leave the Imperial City to personally return to the family for reinforcements.
After a night of upheaval, Tang Ming and his group’s vacation officially began. They were indulging in eating, drinking, and playing at the resort, quickly forgetting about the previous events.
After lunch, Tang Ming, wearing swimming trunks, lay on a bamboo chair soaking up the sun, while the girls, including Liu Mengting, were having a blast in the pool.
Lying in a row alongside Tang Ming were Mo Hongsheng in casual attire and Hua Yingjie holding a book. As for Shao Wuyou and Meng Xianjun, they had long jumped into the water and joined the girls in wholesome fun.
"Mo Hongsheng, everyone is eating, drinking, and having fun, why are you still so serious?"
Tang Ming looked at Mo Hongsheng beside him puzzled, "Wearing formal clothes to sunbathe, what’s up with that?"
"Haha, I have skin allergies, not suitable for sunlight or swimming."
Mo Hongsheng tightened his clothes and responded perfunctorily.
"Such a hassle, like a woman."
Tang Ming rolled his eyes in disdain, "By the way, I heard from Chen Cang that you’ve been researching an organization called the Red Cherry Blossom Association recently, what exactly is that?"
"You really don’t know about the Red Cherry Blossom Association?"
Mo Hongsheng looked at Tang Ming strangely.
"Should I know?"
Tang Ming nonchalantly sipped his drink.
"Someone like you indeed wouldn’t care about such an organization."
Mo Hongsheng rolled his eyes and looked up at the sky, "The Red Cherry Blossom Association is just a student organization, but in fact, it is a core part of Huaxia’s financial system."
"Speak plainly, I don’t understand a word you’re saying."
Tang Ming impatiently pursed his lips.
"Simply put, the members of the Red Cherry Blossom Association are extremely wealthy, and their organization controls 80% of the nation’s wealth."
Mo Hongsheng glanced at Tang Ming disdainfully and introduced with patience.
"Is that true? How much is this 80% exactly?"
Tang Ming became interested, sitting up straight and looking at Mo Hongsheng curiously.
"In terms of monetary value, a lot. The Red Cherry Blossom Association controls assets worth over 800 billion."
Mo Hongsheng thought for a moment and gave a rough number.
"How much, how much?"
Tang Ming widened his eyes and exclaimed, "The country hasn’t even issued that much money, yet they control over 800 billion?"
"I’m talking about asset value, meaning the industries, antiques, collections, and unique treasures they own, all added up."
Mo Hongsheng sighed, looking helplessly at Tang Ming, "For these people, money is just a number, and the true value cannot be measured by money."
"Damn, I worked my ass off and only earned a few billion, while these bastards have tens of billions, the gap is too big."
Tang Ming swallowed hard, truly shocked this time.
"Yeah, so getting into the Red Cherry Blossom Association is very difficult, the minimum qualification is to have a billion in assets, my scope is too small after all." 𝕗𝐫𝐞𝕖𝕨𝐞𝗯𝚗𝕠𝘃𝐞𝚕.𝐜𝗼𝚖
Mo Hongsheng sighed wistfully, he always thought himself somebody back in Songlan City, but after getting rejected by the Red Cherry Blossom Association, he realized there’s always a bigger fish.
"Uh, how many members does the Red Cherry Blossom Association have? A billion per person, ten people make ten billion, do they really have 800 people?"
Tang Ming skeptically eyed Mo Hongsheng.
