Chapter 2016: Chapter 2012: In the Next Life, We’ll Be Brothers Again
"Bullshit! Regular channels are no longer feasible. I can’t take a plane or high-speed train; it’s at least a three-day round trip."
Tang Ming gritted his teeth as he stared at Liu Mengting in the video. He couldn’t accept that his actions had led this girl to suffer such torment.
"It’s just three days, bear with it, and it’ll pass. If you act impulsively now, the consequences will be unimaginable."
With anxiety, Meng Xianjun stared at Tang Ming.
"If it were your wife being treated like this, surrounded by thousands of people, could you endure it?"
Tang Ming coldly looked at Meng Xianjun.
"I..."
Instantly, Meng Xianjun was at a loss for words. No man could bear this; not even for a minute.
"Woof woof!"
At this moment, the video showed several big dogs led on chains, pacing around Liu Mengting.
Liu Mengting sat on the ground, crying in terror. Although the video was silent, one could imagine Liu Mengting’s screams.
"Damn it, damn it!"
Witnessing this scene, Tang Ming cursed while manipulating the computer.
"This is just too much."
Seeing that people were even using dogs to scare Liu Mengting, Meng Xianjun was also furious. He didn’t expect Dragon Tooth’s people to resort to such vile tactics, utterly heartless.
"If he wants to rescue her, what will you do, young master?"
Meng Xiaolu looked at Meng Xianjun with concern.
"As brothers, we share good fortune and face hardships together. You all should stay out of it."
Meng Xianjun sighed helplessly, "Tang Ming, being anxious now is useless. We have no idea where Liu Mengting is being held."
"I’ve already traced the video’s source back to the base of the big Martial Arts contest."
Tang Ming stood up and strode out, having just used hacker techniques to track Liu Mengting’s location.
"Hey, hey, hey, even if we’re going to rescue her, shouldn’t we plan it out?"
Stressed, Meng Xianjun chased after Tang Ming.
"No time to plan, this time..."
Tang Ming hesitated but shouted without turning back, "Second brother, you don’t need to follow me this time. I’ll handle my matters myself."
"If you’re going to die, I’ll definitely collect your body because we’re brothers."
Meng Xianjun declared firmly.
Tang Ming said no more, stopped concealing himself, and increased his speed to the extreme, rushing out of the Meng Family towards the Martial Arts contest base in the suburbs.
Although he had no mind for planning, Tang Ming still deliberately meandered around the Imperial City before heading to the suburbs.
Those Martial Arts people lying in ambush in the Imperial City went mad upon sighting Tang Ming. Unfortunately, their reaction was slow, and by the time they realized it, Tang Ming had disappeared, leaving them to track him.
"Impressive, you could think of such a thing."
Outside the Martial Arts contest base, Tang Ming lay gravely in the grass, observing the surroundings while Meng Xianjun looked at Tang Ming with admiration: "Did you deliberately show yourself to lure Martial Arts people here, expecting them to first clash with Dragon Tooth and then benefit from it?"
"This time Dragon Tooth and others have resorted to despicable tactics to lure me over, undoubtedly lying in ambush with countless experts. High-level Dragon Group members might even show up; there’s no way just the two of us can rescue Liu Mengting."
Tang Ming analyzed the situation expressionlessly, knowing it was a deathtrap yet compelled to act.
"So you want Martial Arts people to clash with Dragon Group, right?"
Meng Xianjun’s eyes lit up: "You brought them here, making them think you’ve been caught by Dragon Tooth, so they naturally fight each other. This move is so clever."
"Indeed, I plan to do that, but even if they come, without seeing me in person, they might not confront Dragon Group, so I must fan the flames."
Tang Ming’s eyes flashed with madness, suddenly choking Meng Xianjun’s neck and temporarily sealing his meridians with cultivation.
"What are you doing?"
Meng Xianjun’s face changed slightly.
"Second brother, we’ve been brothers, and I have no regrets in this life. If there’s another life, let’s be brothers again!"
Tang Ming laughed tragically.
"You... you’re actually using your life as a fuse to completely ignite conflict between Martial Arts forces and Dragon Group..."
Meng Xianjun’s eyes widened, realizing Tang Ming’s plan.
Tang Ming was determined to die, planning to fight Dragon Tooth and create a big stir, thereby letting Martial Arts forces know he fell into Dragon Tooth’s hands. Then Huaxia Secret Technique and the Undying secret would naturally become the focus of Dragon Group’s attack.
"Sorry!"
Before Meng Xianjun could finish, Tang Ming exerted force, knocking him out. He didn’t want Meng Xianjun to follow him to his death.
After incapacitating Meng Xianjun, Tang Ming moved positions several times, then infiltrated the base using movement technique. He knew the base appeared calm, but the Martial Arts Square where Liu Mengting was must have a Sky Net waiting for him.
"A bunch of bastards! Even if I die today, I won’t let you off easily."
Tang Ming swiftly darted through the base; he was quite familiar with this place.
In the base’s monitoring room, Wu Tian smiled as he watched the surveillance video. The whole base was filled with cameras, detecting Tang Ming the moment he entered.
"Ha ha ha, see? I said this would lure Tang Ming out. Look, he’s here!"
Wu Tian laughed excitedly.
"I didn’t expect this guy to be such a romantic; he won’t escape today."
Mo Wenming chuckled coldly.
"There can’t be any mishaps this time; how’s the setup at the square?"
Wu Tian, worried, looked at Mo Wenming.
"Rest assured, besides Dragon Group’s experts, Dragon Tooth and Ming Group have over a thousand armed personnel lying in ambush around. If he tries to rescue Liu Mengting, he won’t escape."
Mo Wenming stated firmly.
"Great! We’re truly about to make a big contribution this time."
Mo Wenming nodded excitedly.
Under the blazing sun, Liu Mengting, her hands chained, was tied to an iron pillar, lying weakly on the ground without moving.
Having been exposed to the sun all morning and not properly fed since being captured, she was now gaunt and covered in filth and exhaustion, her lips cracked and bleeding.
Liu Mengting had no idea where she was, only that these people wanted her to disclose Tang Ming’s whereabouts to harm him.
She didn’t speak; partly because she genuinely didn’t know Tang Ming’s location, and partly because even if she did, she couldn’t tell those seeking Tang Ming.
Since her capture, Liu Mengting had only wished for one thing - praying that Tang Ming wouldn’t come to rescue her and be endangered because of her.
