Chapter 148: Chapter 0148: Chen Cang’s Fury

Shen Yan, although not in life-threatening danger, had sustained an injury to her leg. However, as the top assassin of the Poison Widow Killer Group, she thrust forth a silver needle she held, aiming it directly at the throat of the man holding the gun, and said coldly, "Fine, let’s see who dies faster!"

The gunman was taken aback, never expecting the seemingly ordinary woman in the BMW to be such a formidable character!

Her swift action caught him off guard, and his face immediately turned ugly, "Who are you?"

"Hmph, you dare threaten me with a gun? Did you even take the safety off? I was playing with guns before you even knew what to do!"

Shen Yan mocked with a sneer, "You hit me like this and still dare threaten me?"

"Alright, since we’re birds of a feather, I don’t care what you’re up to, but how about we call it even?"

Having said that, the gunman leaned backward, swiftly breaking free from Shen Yan’s attack range, then turned and ran, hopped into an SUV, and sped away in a cloud of dust...

Shen Yan was fuming with anger, her leg injury preventing her from getting up to chase after him, and she could only watch helplessly as he escaped...

Watching the SUV drive out of the alley and disappear in a matter of seconds, Shen Yan, clutching her injured leg, gave her car’s crumpled front a closer look – it was smashed beyond recognition, parts strewn all over the ground, sparking fire in her eyes!

Now that the offending vehicle had vanished, who was she going to claim compensation from? She didn’t have comprehensive insurance, and the insurance company wouldn’t pay out.

The fifty thousand her organization had collected, of which only thirty thousand had made it to Shen Yan’s hands, was hardly earned to buy a BMW 3 Series, which cost about the same. It meant that, without even completing her mission yet, she had already lost a BMW 3 Series in the deal—truly a weep-worthy predicament.

Just as Shen Yan was huffing with anger and heartache over her BMW, the sound of an ambulance approached from outside the alley. She immediately lay down on the car, waiting for the paramedics to come.

Within fifteen minutes, Shen Yan was rushed to the hospital, where, after an examination, a fracture was found in her leg, requiring hospital stay to monitor for any other issues. As for her car, she had no idea if it could still be repaired, but even if it could, the cost would probably be astronomical...

"Damn it, Tang Ming, just wait until I get out of the hospital to see how I’ll deal with you!"

Shen Yan ground her teeth with rage, but a careless movement pulled at her wound, causing her to grimace in pain.

Meanwhile, Chen Cang had waited several days only to find that Tang Ming hadn’t been affected at all, growing anxious, he decided to pay a visit to Boss Lei directly.

Since it was the weekend, Chen Cang drove, bringing Monkey and Xiao Jun, his two henchmen, to meet with Boss Lei at a restaurant.

Hearing that Chen Cang was looking for him, Boss Lei knew immediately what it was about. But with Tang Ming still alive, he had no face to show to Chen Cang and could only consider the day’s banquet as an apology.

When Chen Cang entered the private room with his men, Boss Lei immediately rose to his feet and greeted with a smile, "Young Master Chen, please have a seat."

Chen Cang sat down with a displeased face and cut to the chase, "The thing I asked you to handle, it’s been several days now, yet I see Tang Ming still hopping around lively. How come?"

Boss Lei’s face twitched as if he had been slapped, explaining with injustice, "Young Master Chen, it’s not that I didn’t do it. I’ve followed your order and poisoned all the drinks, but that guy Tang Ming is a freak; the poison just doesn’t work on him."

"So much poison doesn’t work?"

Upon hearing this, Chen Cang frowned and fell into thought.

Monkey, scratching his head, sneered, "Then this Tang Ming has become a superman; eating so much poison and still not dying, is there such a person in this world?"

But Chen Cang shook his head and said, "No, that’s not right. It seems Tang Ming really is undying to poison. Think about it; how many times have we poisoned him, and when has he ever been affected? The bastard hasn’t even gone to the toilet once. I’m telling you, Tang Ming really isn’t afraid of poison."

"But that time he ate Lingzhi..."

Xiao Jun reminded him.

"Damn it, just bringing it up pisses me off, I bet he wasn’t poisoned at all, he was just toying with us! I did some digging, and that motherfucker went to Xia Wei’er that afternoon, my friend even saw him on Snack Street!"

Chen Cang was furious, his hands ached at the thought.

"Exactly, I saw it with my own eyes, he ate all those cold treats, which were all laced with deadly poison, yet nothing happened to him."

Manager Lei asserted, "That’s why I suspect that Tang Ming is not afraid of poison at all, perhaps his body is special, he doesn’t absorb it after consuming, just metabolizes it directly! Otherwise, let alone poison, a normal person can’t eat that much cold food without ending up in the hospital!"

"Shit, if that’s the case, how are we going to kill him?"

Chen Cang was nearly driven mad, facing someone who couldn’t be killed with poison and couldn’t be beaten with force was truly a tear-inducing situation.

"Young Master Chen, don’t worry, I’ve already sent an assassin to deal with Tang Ming."

Seeing Chen Cang about to blow a gasket, Manager Lei quickly spoke up.

"An assassin? Will that be any use?"

Chen Cang asked curiously, as he had never really dealt with assassins. He thought of them as extremely ferocious and quite mysterious.

Manager Lei’s face twitched as he said, "So far, there’s no good news. The assassin has made several attempts but has not killed Tang Ming. I intended to cancel the mission and hire a different assassin, but the assassin disagreed and even threatened to kill me, so I had to let her continue."

"Heh, that’s all the backbone you’ve got, getting bullied by an assassin."

Chen Cang found it amusing, and Monkey and Xiao Jun also started to laugh.

"Young Master Chen, I had no choice, that assassin is from the Poison Widow Organization, I’m no match for them,"

Manager Lei said with a distressed face, "However, the assassin assured me that she would not give up until the job is done. I figured occasionally letting the assassin hassle Tang Ming is good too. If that kid gets unlucky and gets killed by the assassin, wouldn’t that be great?"

"Hmm, you have a point."

Chen Cang considered, if he had known some assassin organization, maybe he could have paid a bunch of assassins to deal with Tang Ming. Even if they didn’t kill him, they could still pester him to death.

But if he really did that, Chen Cang wasn’t so keen, after all, these assassins were a double-edged sword. If he got involved with the wrong sort, not only would they fail to get the job done, but they might also cause trouble for him, making for a difficult situation like Manager Lei’s, utterly bothersome. That’s why Chen Cang had always been cautious about getting too involved with these so-called assassins.

After listening to the explanation, Chen Cang stood up, ready to head out of the private room.

Manager Lei called out hastily, "Young Master Chen, how about a meal before you go?"

"A meal?"

Chen Cang sneered, "Eating a meal with a big dumbass like you, I’d be eating air, might as well. Anyway, asking you to do something is a waste of effort. Forget it, from now on, I’ll take care of Tang Ming’s matters myself, I don’t need you."
