My Co-renting Lady Boss

Chapter 343: Chapter 0343: Don’t Go!

Liu Mengting also wore a face filled with exasperation, her lips twitching uncontrollably—Li Xiaoli was just too fierce!

"Cough cough, I’ve had my fill, I’ll take you home now!"

Unable to stand Li Xiaoli’s fierce demeanor any longer, Tang Ming awkwardly proposed.

"Let’s go, back home. From now on, take good care of Meng Meng and don’t you dare go causing trouble again."

Li Xiaoli warned with a sense of pride.

"Understood, understood, from now on I’ll stay put at home, I promise I won’t go running around anymore."

Tang Ming nodded repeatedly, terrified that Li Xiaoli would blurt out something even more shocking.

After the three of them returned home, Tang Ming immediately found an excuse to hide in his room, then he started his cultivation.

His battle with Ma Tong today had been the most pressure-filled fight since he started his career, but it was equally beneficial for him.

Late at night, while cultivating, Tang Ming suddenly opened his eyes excitedly and muttered to himself,

"So that’s how it is, no wonder I’ve been unable to break through to the martial master level—I was missing the step of harnessing Gang Qi. I’ve finally grasped it!"

After dueling with a real martial master, Tang Ming was able to experience the mysterious intricacies and essence of the Martial Master Realm. After a half night’s cultivation and realization, he finally had his epiphany.

Early the next morning, before dawn, Tang Ming heard the humming of a car outside.

"This early?" Tang Ming rose to end his cultivation and walked downstairs, puzzled.

As soon as he got downstairs, he saw Liu Gaoze rush in, looking hurried.

"Boss, what’s wrong?"

Tang Ming, still panting, looked at Liu Gaoze with confusion.

"Tang Ming, come quickly, there’s big trouble," Liu Gaoze hastily beckoned Tang Ming to sit on the sofa.

"What happened?"

Tang Ming asked, looking puzzled at Liu Gaoze.

"Look at this." Liu Gaoze took an envelope from his briefcase and handed it to Tang Ming as he explained,

"This appeared on my desk last night, along with a package containing a bloody pig’s head."

"A threat?" Tang Ming frowned slightly as he opened the envelope to begin reading.

"Mr. Tang, please hand over the Five Poison Colored Soil immediately, or we will kill your daughter ..."

The letter was printed electronically on plain A4 paper, showing no signs of origin.

"Five Poison Colored Soil? Is that the item we acquired at the auction?"

Tang Ming furrowed his brows, his alertness mounting,

"It seems those people have lost their patience, escalating from kidnapping to assassination threats. Li Xiaoli was right last night, I must take the protection of Liu Mengting seriously."

"Yes, that item. It’s the most crucial item in our research right now, and we can’t give it to those with ulterior motives no matter what," Liu Gaoze nodded and said anxiously, "Now they’ve started threatening Mengting’s life, what do you think we should do?"

"If you want me to properly protect Mengting, just say so, no need to beat around the bush asking what to do," Tang Ming glared at Liu Gaoze and said through narrowed eyes:

"Since we’ve received the threat, you should be entitled to report to the Dark Group and apply for family protection, right?"

"I’ve already reported the situation, and though the higher-ups have said they’ll send someone to protect Mengting, I’m still worried. After all, the opposition is very strong, I’m afraid the Dark Group might not be able to handle them!"

Liu Gaoze expressed his concerns.

"So that’s the case, don’t worry, I will protect the young miss well."

Tang Ming nodded. Regardless of whether the Dark Group made a move or not, he would do his best to ensure Liu Mengting’s safety, after all, he was her bodyguard.

"With your words, I am relieved." Liu Gaoze let out a long sigh of relief and looked upstairs:

"Has Mengting not woken up yet?"

"She’ll wake up in half an hour," Tang Ming checked the time and said with a smile.

"If that’s the case, then I won’t wait any longer; I still have to go back and get busy." Liu Gaoze said and hurriedly left the room.

"Assassinate the person I need to protect?" After Liu Gaoze left, Tang Ming stroked his chin and frowned:

"This situation is too passive, we need to find a way to eliminate that organization, but there’s too little domestic intelligence, it’s really troublesome."

After Liu Mengting and Li Xiaoli got up, Tang Ming didn’t tell them they were threatened. As always, he accompanied the two young misses to school, but his alertness had already been raised. He even secretly followed Liu Mengting when she went to the restroom at school to ensure her safety.

At lunchtime, Liu Mengting and Li Xiaoli went to Newclan Restaurant to eat, and Tang Ming shamelessly insisted on following.

The reason Tang Ming gave was that after Li Xiaoli’s reprimand the previous night, he felt deeply ashamed, so he decided to protect Liu Mengting closely from then on, including during meals.

Upon hearing this reason, Liu Mengting and Li Xiaoli couldn’t help but look down on him, because they thought Tang Ming just wanted to follow them for a lavish meal, which had nothing to do with so-called protection.

Initially, both women were strongly against Tang Ming joining them for meals, mainly because Tang Ming ate too much, and dining in high-end cafeterias could easily bankrupt Liu Mengting.

In the end, to stay by Liu Mengting’s side, Tang Ming had no choice but to propose that if they didn’t let him accompany them, then he would go have lunch with Xia Wei’er instead, since the two madams did not let him protect them closely, and then...

Then, Liu Mengting, despite Li Xiaoli’s objections, agreed to have Tang Ming join them for the meal.

Watching Tang Ming devour his food, Li Xiaoli’s face turned red, fearing people might see them. This face-conscious girl felt Tang Ming was too embarrassing.

"Meng Meng, you really spoil Brother Tang Ming too much," Li Xiaoli looked at Liu Mengting discontentedly and said gloomily:

"What danger could there be at school, why do you insist on having him join us for meals, it’s so embarrassing."

"It’s all because you told him to be diligent as a bodyguard. Since you wanted him to protect us closely, we have to include him during meals."

Liu Mengting said indifferently.

"Hmph, I think you’re just worried about Brother Tang Ming going to find Xia Wei’er," Li Xiaoli snorted disdainfully.

At the moment Tang Ming was being disliked by Li Xiaoli, his phone rang.

"Hello, what’s wrong with Wei’er?" Tang Ming picked up the phone and deliberately asked loudly.

Liu Mengting and Li Xiaoli quickly perked up their ears, eavesdropping.

"It’s like this, I’m at Shuang’er’s place now. Shuang’er wants to thank you for saving her family’s house, and she wants to invite you for a meal. Can you come now?" Xia Wei’er tentatively invited.

"A meal!" Tang Ming looked at Liu Mengting and Li Xiaoli triumphantly.

"Don’t go!"

Liu Mengting glared with her eyes and gestured with her lips.

"Sorry, I am currently the Liu family’s bodyguard, tasked with protecting Liu Mengting’s safety at all times, including during meals, so I can’t make it. Please thank Chen Shuang’er for me."

Tang Ming declined the invitation with a smile, not because of the threats from the two women, but because it was a critical time, and he couldn’t leave Liu Mengting’s side.
