My Co-renting Lady Boss-Chapter 1659 - 1658: Asking Tang Ming for Help

After this incident, Ma Jiaran definitely can’t stay at school, and for Huangfu Tieling, getting the school to expel him is just a trivial matter.

In the following days, Tang Ming resumed his mundane campus life, but to his surprise, the entire Imperial City was gripped by panic.

For three consecutive days, senior managers within the Ming Group and Longya were constantly assassinated, and members of Fu Tianyou’s family were also targeted.

The Ming Group and Longya aside, the Fu Family, as one of the nine major families in the Imperial City, had members repeatedly harmed, shaking the entire city.

Members of the Ming Group and Longya being continually killed is terrifying, but what is more horrifying is that the powers of Ming Group, Longya, and the Fu Family have all failed to identify the assassin!

One morning, in the living room of the Fu Family’s old mansion, Fu Tianbao stared at Fu Tianyou sitting in front of him with a grim face: "Second Brother, are you out of your mind? You went and provoked Tang Ming again, and now family members are continuously being killed. Three direct lineage disciples have already been attacked, and even I don’t dare leave the house."

"Brother, I’ve been very discreet, but I didn’t expect Tang Ming to be this reckless."

Fu Tianyou swallowed hard and quickly shook his head: "No, although the situation is bizarre, it’s not necessarily Tang Ming’s doing, right?"

"Who else would have the audacity to simultaneously target people from the Ming Group, Longya, and the Fu Family?"

Fu Tianbao glared at Fu Tianyou, gritting his teeth: "Don’t forget, top brass from the Ming Group nationwide were once victims of assassination. This indicates Tang Ming has a hidden squad of assassins under his command. You actually..."

"Calm down, calm down, we can certainly find a way to resolve this."

Fu Tianyou looked despondent as he faced Fu Tianbao.

"We absolutely need to solve this, otherwise the remaining direct lineage members of our Fu Family in the Imperial City will be wiped out."

Fu Tianbao paced back and forth: "You need to call Tang Ming immediately, apologize appropriately, compensate where necessary, we can’t let this escalate further."

"This..."

"What do you mean, this? Is your pride more important, or the safety of the family?"

Fu Tianbao reprimanded irritably.

"Brother, the current problem is we have no proof to show it’s Tang Ming who ordered the assassinations."

Fu Tianyou gave a bitter smile: "Even if I call, he definitely won’t admit it."

"We have to try, at least let him know our stance."

Fu Tianbao paced back and forth with a grim face.

"Alright then!"

Fu Tianyou sighed helplessly, took out his phone, and dialed Tang Ming’s number.

"Hello, what’s up?"

Tang Ming’s deliberately subdued voice came through.

"Mr. Tang, why does your voice sound like that?"

Fu Tianyou glanced at Fu Tianbao, trying to ask softly.

"I’m in class right now, can’t speak loudly; if you have something to say, say it directly."

Tang Ming replied quietly.

"Alright, I’ll cut to the chase then! It was my error provoking your relations with the little martial arts community before, and I’m willing to apologize. You can also ask for any compensation, but don’t resort to such intense revenge."

Fu Tianyou got straight to the point.

"What are you talking about? I don’t understand."

Tang Ming seemed confused.

"Mr. Tang, let’s not speak in riddles; I was the one who had Liu Mengting and Li Xiaoli kidnapped, but I didn’t harm them in any way, I held back considering the circumstances. You wouldn’t take things too far, would you?"

Fu Tianyou frowned slightly, complaining unhappily; he hadn’t let anyone harm Liu Mengting and Li Xiaoli because he feared Tang Ming’s wrath.

"What’s what? Wait a moment, let me answer outside the classroom."

Tang Ming’s confused voice echoed, and shortly after, his voice cleared: "Director Fu, clarify what happened."

"You truly don’t know?"

Fu Tianyou sounded puzzled.

"Should I know something?"

Tang Ming retorted: "Though I’m quite angry about your actions, considering the kidnappers didn’t infringe Liu Mengting and Li Xiaoli’s dignity, I wasn’t planning any retaliation. Our conflicts have been long-standing; it’s normal to calculate against each other. I inadvertently used Han Shan and others, providing you leverage—my own mistake, I admit it. Unless it crosses the line, I wouldn’t resort to drastic measures."

"This..."

Fu Tianyou was utterly baffled.

"Can you explain clearly what actually happened?"

Tang Ming impatiently demanded.

"During these three days, personnel from Ming Group, Longya, and our Fu Family have been continually assassinated—is it really not your doing?"

Fu Tianyou asked uncertainly.

"Ah? Who on earth did this, truly gratifying, well done."

Upon hearing this, Tang Ming couldn’t help but cheer.

"You..."

"Sorry, sorry, didn’t consider your feelings, but this matter doesn’t involve me, you can’t blame me for it."

Tang Ming solemnly declared.

"I find it hard to believe! Who else would dare simultaneously launch assassinations against the three of us besides you?"

Fu Tianyou was full of doubt.

The world is vast, anything could happen; who knows who you have grievances against, whatever the case, it’s not my doing. Believe as you will."

Tang Ming shrugged, then hung up the phone, dismissing the conversation.

"What’s going on?"

Fu Tianbao anxiously eyed Fu Tianyou.

"He claims it wasn’t him."

Fu Tianyou stood dumbfounded with the phone, feeling his brain was a bit overwhelmed.

"Do you believe these things have nothing to do with him?"

Fu Tianbao frowned.

"I don’t believe it either, but there’s no evidence."

Fu Tianyou sighed helplessly: "In the Imperial City, besides him, truly no one else would have such audacity, yet he insisted this matter is unrelated to him, I’m now utterly perplexed."

"Do you think it’s true, or is he deliberately denying it?"

Fu Tianbao frowned in contemplation.

"I can’t say for certain."

Fu Tianyou shook his head, "Brother, what do you think we should do now?"

"If it were an average person, we might prefer to err on the side of caution, but the counterpart is Tang Ming, we lack the strength to adopt a tough stance—even Longya has to consider the powers behind the major families."

Fu Tianbao rubbed his forehead helplessly, gritting his teeth: "Alright, I’ll contact the Wu Family, Su Family, Lin Family, and Long Family heads, gather them to invite Tang Ming for a meal and ask them to mediate, hopefully salvaging the situation."

"Right, right, our direct plea is useless, but having these people step in should offer a turning point."

Fu Tianyou nodded repeatedly.

Tang Ming, after hanging up the phone, was nearly dying of laughter, he truly knew nothing about the assassination incidents.
