Chapter 310: Chapter 310: Someone Has Been Poisoned

"Of course!"

Tang Ming responded and strode towards the front stage.

"Boss, the Detoxification Pill is gone!"

Zhou Dafu looked at Tang Ming with a cry in his voice.

"What kind of man cries and whines like this?" Tang Ming glared at Zhou Dafu, then raised his head to look at the senior Zhou family member, "It’s such a pity that the Zhou Family, being a Martial Arts Family, would rather believe a shameless woman than their own offspring!"

"Exactly who are you and from which family, to meddle in the Zhou Family’s affairs time and time again? What exactly are your intentions?"

The senior Zhou member narrowed his eyes, staring coldly at Tang Ming.

"My name is Tang Ming, ’Tang Ming’ of Tang Ming Emperor. I’m the ’Boss’ Zhou Dafu just mentioned and also the owner of the Detoxification Pill,"

Tang Ming placed his hand on Zhou Dafu’s shoulder and, looking at the Detoxification Pill on the ground, lamented, "The old man has been poisoned by a snake. He could have been cured if he had taken this Detoxification Pill, but alas... this is fate!"

"Tang Ming, stop spouting nonsense here."

Zhou Haotian pointed at Tang Ming and called out with a sneer, "I was wondering why this trash was so bold today, it turns out you were supporting him from behind. What are you really after by making the Zhou Family look bad?"

"Are you an idiot?"

Tang Ming glared at Zhou Haotian and said displeased, "I asked my younger brother to bring the Detoxification Pill for the elder’s birthday celebration, what ulterior motive could I possibly have?"

"Detoxification Pill? Hmph, I fear it’s more of a deadly poison!"

Zhou Xianren saw Tang Ming in person for the first time, but he had already heard about this troublemaker from Zhou Haotian and immediately mocked.

"That’s right, if you say it’s a Detoxification Pill, it must be one. Who do you think you are?"

Zhou Haotian yelled fiercely.

"If I say your father’s painting is fake, it is fake. Am I wrong?"

Tang Ming retorted with a playful tone.

"You... If you can’t prove today that this Elixir is real, then you are an enemy of the Zhou Family!"

Zhou Haotian’s face turned ugly as he threatened after being touched on a raw nerve by Tang Ming.

"Do I need to prove it? It seems there are people among us who can vouch for me."

Tang Ming glanced at the guests around, noticing that quite a few had attended the previous auction.

"I can prove it!"

Su Xiaoxi stepped out first, linking arms with Tang Ming and smiling, "I can attest that the Detoxification Pill that caused a sensation at the auction in Wanjing City was indeed provided by Tang Ming, who is my boyfriend!"

"What?"

Upon hearing this, many uninformed people were greatly shocked.

The auction in Wanjing City was a Martial Arts community event, and common business families were not privy to it. Even those who had attended the auction knew little about the relationship between Tang Ming and the Detoxification Pill, as Tang Ming had never revealed his name at the time.

"If you don’t believe it, you can ask those who attended the auction,"

Su Xiaoxi smiled and turned to Sun Zhuangjia, asking, "Young Master Sun, the Detoxification Pill auctioned by Tang Ming was actually sold for fifty million, right?"

"There wasn’t that much, it was only twenty million."

Sun Zhuangjia instinctively responded before immediately realizing something was amiss and shut his mouth promptly. Had Su Xiaoxi directly asked if it was twenty million, he definitely would have kept quiet, but he had fallen into a trap.

"Hiss!"

Hearing Sun Zhuangjia’s words, people at the scene sucked in a breath of cold air. It wasn’t the twenty million that shocked them, but Sun Zhuangjia’s statement, which confirmed that Tang Ming was indeed the owner of the Detoxification Pill. This meant that the Elixir crushed on the ground...could be real!

"Motherf*cker!"

Chen Cang in the crowd wiped a drop of cold sweat and, having an epiphany, thought, "No wonder Tang Ming was never afraid of being poisoned; it turns out he had a Detoxification Pill for protection."

The others who had previously planned against Tang Ming shared Chen Cang’s realization, finally understanding why Tang Ming was unafraid of poison.

"Hmph, even if the Detoxification Pill is his, what of it?"

Seeing Tang Ming take control of the situation as soon as he appeared, Zhou Haotian sneered and said, "Can he guarantee that this elixir is indeed a real Detoxification Pill? I don’t believe he’d willingly give a pill worth tens of millions to such a loser."

Hearing this, the crowd nodded in agreement; mainly because the Detoxification Pill was too important to martial arts practitioners, and it wasn’t something that would be given away so easily.

"Mr. Tang, am I right?"

Old Master Zhou finally spoke up, his eyes no longer filled with the murderous intent from before but instead, he asked in a mild tone, "Is this Detoxification Pill real?"

"The elixir is already wasted; does it even matter whether it’s genuine or fake?"

Tang Ming curled his lip, hugging Zhou Dafu, and said emotionally, "Poor Dafu’s filial piety has been taken for granted, treated like a donkey’s liver and lungs. Dafu, ah, you might as well not bother with such a family."

"Alas!"

Zhou Dafu sighed deeply, his heart filled with disillusionment.

"Mr. Tang, let’s talk nicely. Would you be willing to sell me a real Detoxification Pill?"

Old Master Zhou asked patiently, as cleansing the leftover poison in his body was far too crucial; if his cultivation were to continue stagnating, his life would soon come to an end.

"Forget it! Dafu kindly offered you a real Detoxification Pill, yet you treated it like trash. My medicine has never been so disrespected, I dare not sell it to you!"

Tang Ming said, with a playful twist of his mouth.

"What my father talked about was a genuine Detoxification Pill, not this fake stuff."

Zhou Xianren declared angrily.

"How do you know this one isn’t real?"

Tang Ming cast a disdainful glance at Zhou Haotian.

"Then how will you prove that it is real?"

Zhou Xianren asked contentiously.

"Ah!"

It was at that moment a scream suddenly rang out from the crowd; a young man in a white suit fell to the ground with a pained expression.

"Son, what’s wrong with you?"

A portly middle-aged man with glasses looked at the young man on the ground and called out anxiously.

"Boss Li, what happened to your son?"

Old Master Zhou looked at the chubby man with confusion.

"My, my son has been poisoned?"

Li Xiangui said with distress: "Two months ago, a commercial family that our Li Family defeated sought revenge, and they poisoned my son. They said it was some sort of slow-acting poison, a certain death once afflicted, no more than three months to live."

"Poisoned, huh!"

Hearing this, Zhou Xianren cheered excitedly.

"Mr. Zhou!"

Li Xiangui looked at Zhou Xianren with an ugly expression; if it weren’t for the fear of the Zhou Family’s influence, he would have cursed him out. Who would be happy to hear that their son was poisoned? An idiot!

The other guests also looked at Zhou Xianren with bewilderment. Had the man gone mad over the previous incident of buying a fake painting for over a billion? To be so overjoyed upon hearing of someone’s poisoning?

"Cough, cough!"

Old Master Zhou looked at Zhou Xianren displeasedly; they had been embarrassed enough for one day.

"I didn’t mean it like that."

Zhou Xianren also realized his inappropriate reaction.
