Chapter 220: Chapter 220: We Hurt Ourselves

Tang Ming and Su Xiaoxi had just entered the banquet hall when they saw Li Xiaoli waving at them from not far away.

"That shield only got me so far, I need to head over there now,"

Tang Ming told Su Xiaoxi.

Su Xiaoxi also saw Li Xiaoli waving. Feeling a wave of sourness in her heart, she was about to say something when her phone vibrated in her pocket. She pulled it out and saw a call from home, so she quickly picked it up.

Seeing that Su Xiaoxi didn’t refuse, Tang Ming walked towards Li Xiaoli.

Li Xiaoli, holding a high-stemmed glass, pouted at Tang Ming, "Tang Ming, spending so much time with a beauty, did you have a romantic encounter?"

"Romantic encounter?"

Tang Ming shook his head. "It wasn’t a fright, let alone a romantic encounter!"

"Not a single word of truth."

Liu Mengting, sitting on a nearby chair, grumbled unhappily without even lifting her head.

Tang Ming had nothing much to say to Madam Liu, so he could only smile awkwardly, while Li Xiaoli blinked her eyes as if she was signaling something.

"Problem with your eyes?"

Tang Ming asked Li Xiaoli, who was making faces at him, with curiosity.

Li Xiaoli, huffy, said: "Meng Meng is angry, and you don’t even bother saying something nice."

Tang Ming glanced at Liu Mengting. "Why should her anger concern me? It wasn’t my fault!"

"Xiaoli, got an itchy mouth?"

Liu Mengting looked up and glared at Li Xiaoli, frightening the girl into silence.

As Tang Ming was talking with the two beauties, Sun Zhuangjia had already had one of his men call the police. Lin Xue, who was assigned protection detail at the venue, had also received a call from the alarm center.

After talking for a few moments, Lin Xue began searching for Tang Ming inside the venue.

Although the banquet was large, finding someone intentionally wasn’t too hard. She quickly spotted Tang Ming with Liu Mengting and Li Xiaoli, and directly hurried over, her face icy.

Perhaps sensing the dangers, Tang Ming turned his head and immediately spotted Lin Xue. His expression changed instantly, and he muttered internally, "Why does this policewoman never leave me alone wherever I go?"

Sure enough, Lin Xue coldly said without courtesy, "Tang Ming, you are suspected of intentional assault. Come with me to the station."

"Hey, you say I assaulted someone, but where is the evidence?"

Tang Ming said, annoyed.

"Evidence?"

Lin Xue sneered and was about to grab Tang Ming.

But Li Xiaoli wouldn’t have it, standing in front of Tang Ming and saying, "What is wrong with you? Is this how you enforce the law? Arresting people without any evidence, can you afford the responsibility if you’re wrong?"

"Exactly, Officer, you should be showing your badge and producing a warrant, not just taking Tang Ming away like this!"

Although Liu Mengting was irked that Tang Ming had spent the evening with Su Xiaoxi, when Tang Ming was in trouble, she still unhesitatingly came forward to protect him.

Lin Xue, choked by the words of Liu Mengting and Li Xiaoli, was momentarily at a loss for words. Just then, a voice came from behind her, "We have evidence!"

Turning their heads, Tang Ming and the others saw Sun Zhuangjia walking over with a group of bruised and swollen men, all looking like furious youths ready to pounce.

Tang Ming frowned, not expecting Sun Zhuangjia to stoop so low as to call the police after losing a fight.

"What do you have to say now?"

Lin Xue watched Tang Ming with a cold and mocking smirk.

Sun Zhuangjia also sneered, "What, hit someone and won’t admit it?"

"You all were victims of Tang Ming’s assault, weren’t you?"

Lin Xue asked aloud.

Sun Zhuangjia didn’t expect Lin Xue to ask so loudly, and his face twitched!

With so many people at the reception, if word got out that he was beaten up by a mere bodyguard, it would be a total loss of face for a martial artist, so Sun Zhuangjia could only cough and then pointed at the three goons behind him, saying:

"Not us three, but those security guards behind. Tang Ming laid his hands on them, just look at all the injuries on their faces."

Lin Xue frowned upon hearing this, thinking that they said they weren’t hit, but why did it seem like these three had more serious injuries?

Liu Mengting and Li Xiaoli were also stunned, looking at Ma Zhisong and Qin Kong’s bruised faces and Sun Zhuangjia’s huge red bump on his head, almost bursting into laughter.

"Another fool tricked by Tang Ming."

Li Xiaoli whispered to Liu Mengting.

Hearing this, Sun Zhuangjia found it hard to swallow, but for the sake of his face, he definitely couldn’t admit that he was beaten by Tang Ming.

"Are you sure none of you three got hit?"

Lin Xue pointed at the huge bump on Sun Zhuangjia’s head and asked.

"Is he even our match?"

As soon as Qin Kong spoke, the wound on his mouth hurt so much that he grimaced in pain.

Ma Zhisong also added, "We got these injuries by sparring among ourselves, it has nothing to do with Tang Ming. But those three were indeed hit by him."

Sun Zhuangjia gave a meaningful look to one of the goons, who immediately clutched his swollen arm and wailed pitifully, "Officer, you must stand up for us, he just hit us for no reason, we want to sue him."

Although Lin Xue didn’t know the full story, she understood that Tang Ming hitting people was an absolute fact!

"Tang Ming, now that we have a witness, you can come with me, right?"

Lin Xue challenged.

"Go?"

Tang Ming certainly didn’t want to go to the police station, where he would be bothered endlessly, but resisting at the reception might cause unfavorable consequences for the Liu Family.

As he wavered, Liu Gaoze from afar noticed something was amiss and hurried over with a wine glass to inquire about the situation.

"So many people, what’s going on here?"

Liu Gaoze approached, holding his wine glass and asked with a smile.

Seeing her father, Liu Mengting immediately ran over and clung to Liu Gaoze, cooing, "Dad, they are here to arrest Tang Ming, saying he hurt someone, and they even brought the victims."

Liu Gaoze patted Liu Mengting’s hand gently, gesturing her to be calm and scanning over the crowd, he immediately spotted several elites, Sun Zhuangjia, Qin Kong, and Ma Zhisong.

"Aren’t these people from the Ma Family? How come Tang Ming beat them too?"

Liu Gaoze looked at Ma Zhisong and asked gently.

Liu Gaoze and the Songlan Ma Family knew each other well and maintained a good relationship. When Liu Gaoze spoke up, Ma Zhisong, as one of the juniors, naturally had to answer, so he hurriedly explained, "Uncle Liu, these facial injuries are from us martial artists sparring, they have nothing to do with Tang Ming!"

"Oh?"

Liu Gaoze smiled, quickly guessed most of what had happened, certainly, these family elites had collectively targeted Tang Ming and ended up suffering a significant loss. But since it was a matter of losing face, they couldn’t advertise it openly and had to claim a few security guards were beaten instead.
