Chapter 263: Chapter 0263: Assassin Returns

"Hahaha, how about that, my masterpiece is pretty rad, right?"

Seeing Liu Mengting appear, Tang Ming stood on the sandcastle, proudly shouting, "It’s so sturdy you can stand on it, satisfied?"

"Oh my gosh!"

Li Xiaoli’s eyes widened, hands covering her mouth as she exaggeratedly exclaimed, "Brother Tang Ming is so awesome, to actually build such a huge sandcastle!"

"Hehe, no wonder you eat so much, you’re really good at heavy labor."

Liu Mengting sneered, but inside she was thinking with surprise, "What all can this guy do, I just casually threw him a hard task, and he actually did it."

"Brother Ming is truly awesome!"

Chen Cang and Zhou Dafu simultaneously remarked.

"Why did he build such a huge sandcastle?"

Xia Wei’er asked blankly, still wondering why she hadn’t seen Tang Ming all afternoon, only to find out he was playing with sand here.

"Because he’s sick!"

Liu Mengting cursed sharply.

Zhou Dafu and the others cast a peculiar glance at Xia Wei’er, realizing that the heroine herself didn’t know that Tang Ming underwent such hardships because of her.

"What delicious things did you all bring?"

Tang Ming jumped down from the sandcastle, his eyes gleaming as he stared at the items in everyone’s hands, after being tired all afternoon, he was starving.

"He’s really a glutton."

Seeing Tang Ming like this, Liu Mengting couldn’t help but feel irritated.

"Xiaoli, let’s go grab a spot for the barbecue."

"Sure!"

Li Xiaoli nodded her head, then grabbed Xia Wei’er, who was about to speak to Tang Ming, and said, "Let’s all go together, it’s crowded now, it would be bad if we get separated."

"Hey, don’t just stand there dumbfounded, hurry up and help them with the stuff, don’t you want to eat dinner?"

Seeing Tang Ming standing there stupefied, Liu Mengting commanded irritably.

"Alright, alright, did I pass then?"

Tang Ming nodded repeatedly and voluntarily helped Chen Cang carry some items, otherwise that idiot would have to run back and forth several times, which would delay things.

Tang Ming eyed the items in the bag, murmuring, "Chicken wings, ham, pork belly, knuckle..."

Liu Mengting looked suspiciously at Li Xiaoli, who wouldn’t let go of Xia Wei’er’s hand, wondering why Xiaoli was being so friendly towards Xia Wei’er.

Li Xiaoli immediately understood Liu Mengting’s thoughts and whispered in her ear, "During the daytime when there were so many people around, Tang Ming and Xia Wei’er could do that, but now it’s nighttime, if we don’t keep an eye on them, they might find a secluded spot to do even more outrageous things."

Liu Mengting’s expression changed slightly, and she nodded repeatedly.

"What are you talking about?"

Xia Wei’er asked, looking confusedly at the two girls whispering together.

"We were just saying you might have hurt your leg, it looks like you’re walking a bit awkwardly?"

Li Xiaoli casually said.

"I, I twisted it a bit."

Xia Wei’er responded guiltily, unable to tell the truth, wondering what they were thinking?

"Twisted your ankle? Then you really should stick with us!"

Li Xiaoli exclaimed exaggeratedly.

Following behind the three girls, Chen Cang was positively beaming, his eyes constantly fixed on Liu Mengting’s back.

"Fly, you’re in a good mood, seems like things with Liu Mengting are developing well!"

Tang Ming looked at Chen Cang with a playful gaze.

"Thanks for looking out, big brother Ming. We’re doing pretty well. Of course, we can’t compare with you and Xia Wei’er; you’re the real expert!"

Chen Cang grinned, visibly delighted as he had closed the distance with Liu Mengting more than ever before today.

"What’s up with me and Xia Wei’er?"

Tang Ming became puzzled.

"Stop pretending, you two are already like that, yet you ask what’s up?"

Chen Cang bumped Tang Ming’s shoulder, flashing a knowing smile that only men understand.

"Don’t start with that, or I’ll have to hit you!"

Hearing that, Tang Ming understood, but was too lazy to explain, casually asking, "Where are Monkey and Xiao Jun? I haven’t seen them for a long time."

"I sent them to prepare some delicious food for big brother Ming, just the kind you like!"

Chen Cang lowered his voice, speaking flatteringly, "Big brother Ming, you’ve taken such good care of me this time, I must satisfy your appetite."

"Not bad, not bad, you’re getting the hang of it. If you had realized this earlier, you wouldn’t have ended up in the hospital several times because of me."

Upon hearing this, Tang Ming’s eyes lit up, nodding his head repeatedly with great satisfaction.

"That’s right, that’s right!"

Chen Cang nodded over and over.

Ever since Tang Ming had let up a bit, Chen Cang’s pursuit of Liu Mengting had become much smoother. Although there were some hiccups, those were mainly due to his mishandlings, which had nothing to do with Tang Ming.

Therefore, Chen Cang now valued his relationship with Tang Ming highly. In order to please Tang Ming, he had sent Xiao Jun and Monkey away at noon to find poison for Tang Ming, hoping that Tang Ming would go easy on him tonight, and then he might have a chance to move things further with Liu Mengting...

Just as Tang Ming and Chen Cang were enjoying their conversation, a woman with a mature demeanor, dressed in a youthful school outfit and wearing a sun hat, stood among the crowd, secretly watching them.

After being discharged from the hospital, Shen Yan had rushed to Tianjiao Middle School, eager to complete her task of assassinating Tang Ming, only to find out that the senior class had the day off for an autumn outing.

Shen Yan then hurriedly rushed to Laojun Mountain with her gear, thinking it would take some effort to find Tang Ming. However, the moment she arrived at the beach, she saw Tang Ming building sand castles by himself, sticking out conspicuously.

Although she had found her prey, it was harder to get close to Tang Ming when he was alone, especially since he was standing isolated on a sandcastle, taking into account Tang Ming’s strength as a martial artist. If it were an ordinary person, a single flying needle would have easily done the job.

Thus, Shen Yan lay in wait all afternoon until she saw Tang Ming walking with Chen Cang, which presented her with an opportunity.

"The prey is tough, but that rich second generation guy by his side seems to be just an ordinary person, it should be easier to start with this guy!"

Shen Yan pressed down her hat, already having several assassination plans in mind.

As Tang Ming and his friends found a spot, they immediately got busy preparing for the upcoming barbecue party.

In the meantime, Chen Cang found a chance to step away to a less crowded spot to make a phone call.

"Where are you guys?"

Chen Cang asked irritably through the phone.

"Brother Cang, poison isn’t easy to find, we’re trying hard to get it!"

Monkey’s voice came through the phone.

"Hurry up, if Tang Ming isn’t satisfied tonight, Meng Ting and I won’t be able to take things further, if..."

"You are Tang Ming’s friend?"

Before Chen Cang could finish, a cold yet pleasing voice suddenly interrupted.

"Huh?"

Chen Cang turned around, puzzled, only to see a stunning mature woman standing behind him.

"Wow, she’s hot!"

Chen Cang muttered to himself, his eyes lingering lasciviously on Shen Yan.
