Chapter 2011: Chapter 2007: Long Time No See
"Yeah! I heard he’s a pervert, likes to assault female students, and he always does something before killing them. Several students from our school have already been victims."
Another girl immediately chimed in, "It seems it’s not just female students, even male students have been harmed."
"Ugh! It’s such a shame. I used to think highly of him because he looked decent. How could he be a pervert?"
The girl on the chair sighed helplessly.
"Classmates, Imperial University has always had good security. How could there have been fatalities?"
Tang Ming asked curiously, with a foreign accent.
"Originally, Imperial University’s security was good, but recently many students have gone missing, and they’re all female students. It’s said that they’re all harmed by that Tang Ming."
"You’re not from our school, so you wouldn’t understand. The whole school is on edge right now; we female students don’t even dare to go out at night."
...
The two girls chattered away.
Tang Ming, while sketching, almost wanted to ask if the missing girl was named Liu Mengting and what their names were, but there were too many eyes around, and he didn’t dare take the risk.
After finishing the sketches for the two girls, Tang Ming quickly packed up and left the scene.
After leaving the school, Tang Ming took a cab to the Su Family. When passing by the Su Family’s gate, he saw the gate was tightly shut, surrounded by watchful eyes as well.
Without stopping the car, Tang Ming left, confirming that everyone related to him was being watched. As for why he couldn’t contact them, he didn’t know whether they were caught or if their communications were controlled.
"Damn it, damn it!"
Tang Ming sat in the cab with an ugly expression, cursing silently in his heart.
He originally went abroad to help the Dark Group complete a mission, essentially dealing with the Hua brothers on behalf of the authorities. But now that the Huaxia Secret Technique was exposed, the Dragon Group had turned on him first!
Previously, those in the Martial Arts community who didn’t support him are also now against him. The situation was utterly frustrating; spitting blood would be the least of it.
After wandering around the Imperial City, he couldn’t gather any useful information because he didn’t see anyone familiar, leaving Tang Ming in an extremely passive position.
After careful thought, Tang Ming decided to find someone to inquire about the situation, a person who wouldn’t immediately expose him.
Inside the Ming Group headquarters office, Fu Tianyou was sitting excitedly working overtime. The entire Ming Group was now focused on searching for and capturing Tang Ming, as the Dragon Group high command had directly ordered action against him.
Fu Tianyou, who bore deep hatred against Tang Ming, had waited for this day for too long. His son was crippled by Tang Ming, and the Ming Group suffered heavy losses, but he didn’t have the ability to retaliate against Tang Ming, only to endure quietly.
But now that the Dragon Group high command personally ordered action against Tang Ming and dispatched a large number of Martial Generals to surround and kill him, Fu Tianyou saw a glimmer of hope for revenge.
"Tang Ming, oh Tang Ming, I never thought you’d have this day. As long as you dare show up in the Imperial City, there’s no way you can escape the Sky Net we’ve laid down."
Fu Tianyou stared at the computer, continuously switching surveillance footage, all around Imperial University or the Su Family, Lin Family, and other places Tang Ming might appear.
At this moment, Fu Tianyou was feeling particularly pleased because the Dark Group was closely related to Tang Ming. So when the order was to act against Tang Ming, the Dark Group suffered first.
Now the entire Dark Group was under intense pressure from above, with all its members, including Zhou Xiong, being isolated.
With the Dark Group suppressed, the Ming Group was naturally riding high, even more so than when they previously suppressed the Dark Group.
"Director Fu, I didn’t expect you’d be thinking of me, even reciting my name."
Just as Fu Tianyou was cheerfully watching the computer screen, a cold voice suddenly sounded.
"Who’s there?"
Fu Tianyou’s expression changed slightly, quickly looking toward the direction of the voice.
"Long time no see!"
Wearing night clothes, Tang Ming emerged from the shadows.
"Tang Ming?"
Fu Tianyou’s eyes widened, immediately reaching for a red button on the desk.
"Don’t move! You should be aware of my skills. If you dare to act rashly, I guarantee I will take you down before you succeed."
Tang Ming squinted his eyes, calmly looking at Fu Tianyou.
Fu Tianyou’s hand hovered over the alarm button, but he didn’t dare to press it.
Though Tang Ming’s tone was calm, he felt an intense killing intent emanating from him until Tang Ming stopped speaking.
"How are you here? What do you want?"
Fu Tianyou’s forehead broke out in a cold sweat, never imagining Tang Ming would dare to show up at the Ming Group headquarters, and why come looking for him?
"Heh, now I’m inexplicably a fugitive. The authorities and major forces are all after me, leaving me with nowhere to go. You, as an old friend, were my first thought."
Tang Ming smirked coldly.
Hearing this, Fu Tianyou almost spit blood; his enmity with Tang Ming was as deep as the ocean. How could they be considered friends?
"Your pursuit is too comprehensive. It seems familiar people and places are all closely watched, but around you, there aren’t so many eyes. So I came to ask you a few questions, make things easier."
Tang Ming sat opposite Fu Tianyou, giving a bitter smile.
"I see."
Fu Tianyou suddenly understood, withdrawing his right hand, cursing Tang Ming inwardly for being cunning.
Now the entire Imperial City was full of informants, especially those associated with Tang Ming, who were closely monitored. Yet the enmity between the Ming Group and Tang Ming was well-known, so no one focused on it, as no one expected Tang Ming to seek out his enemy.
"A clever move, hiding in plain sight— I must admit, you really are something."
Fu Tianyou sighed, feigning composure as he looked at Tang Ming, "You are now a high-priority fugitive ordered by the Dragon Group and the entire Martial Arts community is after you. If you’re smart, you’d surrender voluntarily."
"Do I, Tang Ming, seem like someone who would easily surrender?"
Tang Ming curled his lips dismissively, coldly staring at Fu Tianyou, "I’m not here to hear you spout nonsense. I need to know what exactly happened."
"Oh, you should know why you’re wanted,"
Fu Tianyou exhaled, coldly smiling at Tang Ming, "No wonder you were so arrogant before. You’re not only the heir to the Huaxia Secret Technique but also the legendary Undying Soldier King. Either condition would make you a prime target on its own. Do I need to say more?"
"Hmph! What I want to know is what happened to those connected to me?"
Tang Ming snorted coldly; he already knew why he was wanted. What concerned him most now was the fate of those around him.
