Chapter 111: Chapter 0111: Dark Group’s Mission

"Gao, Old Dad, your strategy was really brilliant," Tang Ming said.

Ma Gangqiang, who stood beside him, was immediately excited and slapped his thigh.

"Brilliant my ass, don’t think I don’t know that this Tang Ming is very likely trouble you’ve brought upon yourself, right?"

When Ma Benyue heard Ma Gangqiang speak, he glared at him and scolded fiercely.

Ma Gangqiang immediately dared not say another word; his own father was really too clever—deceiving him was not an easy task.

Tang Ming took a taxi back to the Liu Family villa; it was already past eight in the evening. Just as he entered the villa gates, Uncle Quan was already waiting for him in the first-floor hall.

"Tang Ming, have you had dinner yet?"

Uncle Quan asked with a neutral expression.

Tang Ming touched his stomach which had mostly digested the food he ate earlier and then replied, "Did you save some food for me?"

"Originally, there was none, but Mr. Liu specially instructed, so I asked the kitchen to save some food for you,"

Uncle Quan pointed at the dishes on the dining table and said, "Go eat now, or it will cool down."

"Thank you, Uncle Quan."

Tang Ming smiled in gratitude and then walked towards the dining table, quickly pouncing on his meal with his chopsticks. In no time, a large bowl of rice was devoured, and the six dishes plus a bowl of soup on the table were all cleaned up.

Twenty minutes later, Tang Ming patted his stomach, contentedly saying, "I’m full, and the food is always better at home."

Uncle Quan came over and nodded, "Mr. Liu said that once you have finished eating, to go to the study as he is waiting for you there."

"Eh? Uncle Liu is here?"

Tang Ming wiped his mouth, slightly surprised, and quickly stood up and walked toward the study.

Inside the room, Liu Gaoze was reading documents. When he saw Tang Ming come in, he said with a smile,

"I heard you went out to perform another act of righteousness?"

"Haha, you know about that too? Not bad, for a Dark Group member! Actually, it was nothing, just helping someone with a small favor,"

Tang Ming said nonchalantly, "Uncle, did you manage to get the things I wanted?"

"It’s all set, everything is on the table."

Liu Gaoze pointed to the coffee table beside him. Tang Ming walked over and saw a large bag filled with various poisons, each clearly labeled with their medicinal properties and potency. These were all contraband items that could only be obtained easily by organizations like the Dark Group.

Tang Ming immediately smiled happily, "Thank you so much; these items are of great use to me."

"I should be the one thanking you. Without you, I wouldn’t have become an insider," Liu Gaoze said.

Just after Liu Gaoze finished speaking, he suddenly felt an uneasiness in his body, clutching his chest and showing a trace of pain on his face.

Tang Ming was startled and quickly asked, "Uncle, is your chronic illness acting up again?"

On the train, Tang Ming had noticed that Liu Gaoze was not well, and he never had the opportunity to treat him. Now that the moment had presented itself, he felt an inescapable responsibility.

"Yes, but I understand my body; it is not easy to cure in a short time! Moreover, once treatment starts, I will have to suspend all my current work and devote myself entirely to the recovery process. I have too much work on my hands right now; it’s not easy to just put it aside," Liu Gaoze sighed with a hint of helplessness.

"But health is the real wealth, Uncle. You should still find an opportunity to rest for a while and take good care of yourself," Tang Ming responded.

Tang Ming advised.

"Enough about that for now. I’ve recently become an insider, so I’ve been given a new task. The research institute needs a new technology. Originally, someone else was supposed to handle it for me, but with my promotion to an insider, the problem has naturally landed squarely on my shoulders."

When Liu Gaoze spoke, he glanced at Tang Ming, "This task involves seeking the help of a scientist..."

"Uncle, you’re not thinking of having me find someone for you, are you?"

Tang Ming guessed.

"Hehe, you’re clever. I thought with your wide connections, you might have a way to find such a person, right?"

Liu Gaoze smiled and said, his eyes narrowing as if he were a fox.

Tang Ming slapped his forehead and said speechlessly, "You’ve got to give me some background on this person, right? Besides, I couldn’t even find Liu Mengting back then, and now you want me to help you find someone. You’ve got quite the nerve..."

"The person we were instructed to contact posted a technical thread on an overseas forum related to the new technology. We suspect that she has a mature understanding of this technology, or rather, that she might be able to provide this technology herself! According to our investigation, she should be from Huaxia. Although the forum is based overseas, she occasionally uses Huaxia terminology in her posts, leading us to believe she is Huaxian. However, her forum IP is confidential, and we have been unable to find her exact location. Even our Dark Group has used all means to no avail, so we have been instructed to try to find this person, as she could be of great help to us."

Liu Gaoze narrated slowly.

"That’s very little information to go on."

Tang Ming said with difficulty, "Do you know if it’s a man or a woman?"

"Our intelligence analysts believe it’s a woman, and she doesn’t go out much. She’s online a lot, always active on the forum except when sleeping, basically. She could be considered a heavy internet user."

Liu Gaoze explained.

"If she loves hanging out in forums that much, why don’t you contact her through the forum?"

Tang Ming said directly.

"We tried that already, but no matter what we offer, the person won’t help, doesn’t reply to posts, doesn’t share the technology, and won’t provide any assistance to us. That’s why I wanted your help. After all, it’s worth a try. What if you’re lucky and happen to come across her?"

Liu Gaoze had run out of options. This wasn’t something he could discuss with just anyone; only Tang Ming was considered trustworthy by the organization.

"Alright, I’ll keep an eye out for you, but don’t get your hopes up too high."

Tang Ming nodded.

The next day at school, Chen Cang got out of the nanny car. Usually, he drove himself, but today his family’s driver had made a special trip to bring him to class. Yesterday, he went to the hospital to have his wounds treated. Fortunately, they were attended to in time, or else Chen Cang’s hand would have been ruined.

But he wasn’t too downcast because, in his opinion, his arch-enemy Tang Ming had definitely died from poisoning! At this thought, he completely forgot his pain, feeling utterly delighted.

At the school gate, Chen Cang picked up the breakfast Monkey had bought for him. While eating, he said, "I’m so happy today. After school, let’s go straight to the KTV and play all night."

"Brother Cang, you’re awesome."

Monkey said happily.

However, just as Chen Cang stepped through the school’s main entrance, he saw his arch-enemy Tang Ming, arm in arm with the chubby Zhou Youfu.

He rubbed his eyes vigorously, and after seeing clearly, he exclaimed in surprise, "Isn’t that Tang Ming?"

Monkey and Xiao Jun, two flunkies, looked over and after confirming it was indeed Tang Ming, Monkey was also shocked, "Brother Cang, it’s really that kid Tang Ming!"

"Damn it, how is he not dead yet?"

Chen Cang immediately turned pale with anger, his good mood disappearing in an instant as he couldn’t help but quickly follow.

Seeing the approaching ’dead fly,’ Tang Ming turned around with a beaming smile and said, "Ah, if it isn’t the ’fly.’ I was just wondering, the Lingzhi you gave me, was there something wrong with it? I nearly got killed eating it yesterday!"
