Chapter 416: Chapter 416: The Young Lady’s New Bodyguard

Then, Li Xiaoli seriously said:

"Meng Meng sister, look at these stockings, they’re pilling and even a bit snagged, we can be sure these have been worn by someone."

"Ah? How disgusting?"

Liu Mengting quickly stepped back, saying with disgust: "Why would he buy someone else’s worn stockings?"

"I know now, this must be the legendary ****, huh." Li Xiaoli had a sudden flash of insight and said weirdly:

"I never would have guessed that Brother Tang Ming actually has this hobby. He could have just told us! The two of us, being big beauties, have plenty of *****, why waste money?"

"Pah, what a dirt-minded hoodlum." Liu Mengting cursed angrily, saying with a wary face:

"From now on, we have to take good care of our stuff, or who knows what bad things he would do with it."

"What does it matter, huh, our stuff isn’t even..."

Li Xiaoli indifferently curled her lip.

"Right." Li Xiaoli hadn’t finished speaking when Tang Ming’s voice suddenly came from upstairs, scaring Li Xiaoli into quickly stuffing the stockings back into the box,

"Have the servant throw that package away, the delivery person got it wrong."

"Ah, got it!" Li Xiaoli quickly answered, asking uncertainly:

"Aren’t you going to check what’s inside?"

"No need, I reckon it’s nothing good!" Tang Ming replied directly.

"It seems we misunderstood."

Liu Mengting smiled awkwardly and continued drinking her water.

"I bet Brother Tang Ming knows we discovered his secret, and he said that on purpose to maintain his image, huh."

Li Xiaoli packed up the parcel and said mischievously.

"Then we’d better still be careful around him." Liu Mengting nodded repeatedly.

"Hehe, is that necessary?"

Li Xiaoli squinted her eyes, showing an intriguing smile.

Previously, when Shen Yan was preparing the package, she couldn’t think of what to put inside, so she just stuffed in a pair of stockings she was about to throw away. She never expected this would lead Li Xiaoli and Liu Mengting to mistakenly believe Tang Ming was a pervert.

Early the next morning, Tang Ming was woken by hunger, and groggily got up to eat something. As soon as he opened his door, he saw a pile of colorful items in front of it.

"What is this?" Tang Ming picked up the items in confusion and then shouted loudly:

"Who left stockings at my door?"

"Ah! Li Xiaoli, I’m going to kill you."

A furious roar from Liu Mengting suddenly came from the third floor, along with the exaggerated shouting and playful noises of Li Xiaoli.

At breakfast, Tang Ming ate his food like a man possessed, while Liu Mengting sat there with a gloomy face, staring angrily at Tang Ming.

"That jerk Xiaoli piled up all of her and my stockings at Tang Ming’s door, it’s infuriating."

Liu Mengting rubbed her knife and fork vigorously, fuming internally.

"Hehe, it’s called catering to one’s interests. Aren’t we trying to keep Brother Tang Ming here? Naturally, we should satisfy some of his little quirks."

Li Xiaoli animatedly gestured to Liu Mengting with her eyebrows, then also started sizing up Tang Ming with a strange look.

"Cough cough, if you two keep looking at me like that, I might just eat your food too."

Tang Ming felt uncomfortable being stared at like this, but couldn’t help his craving for the food.

"You wouldn’t dare! (Help yourself)"

Liu Mengting and Li Xiaoli gave two completely different responses.

"Xiaoli, are you still my bestie or not? How can you not stand with me?"

Liu Mengting glared fiercely at Li Xiaoli.

"We’re all family, no need to divide ourselves." Li Xiaoli grinned, then turned to Tang Ming and asked, "Right, Brother Tang Ming?"

"That’s right, that’s right."

Tang Ming nodded repeatedly, wondering what on earth had happened but decided it was best not to go against these two young ladies, or he would definitely be annoyed to death.

Just as breakfast was ending, Liu Gaoze suddenly returned with a burly and tall middle-aged man.

"Boss, why are you back?"

Tang Ming looked at Liu Gaoze with confusion, his gaze then landing on the middle-aged man.

A martial aristocrat, and furthermore, a master.

"Dad, we’re about to go to school, is there something you need?"

Liu Mengting ran happily to Liu Gaoze and asked in a coquettish manner.

"Hehe, I’ve come to give you a new driver." Liu Gaoze smiled and introduced, "This is Wu Tie, and he will be your new driver from now on."

"Why change the driver all of a sudden?" Both Liu Mengting and Li Xiaoli were puzzled.

Tang Ming, on the other hand, kept sizing up Wu Tie, beginning to guess his background in his mind.

"Good day, young mistresses, and Mr. Tang." Wu Tie responded with equal politeness.

"Alright, get in the car, and from today on Wu Tie will be taking you to school," Liu Gaoze instructed with a smile.

"Ah, we’re going to be late, let’s go!" Li Xiaoli yelled and hurriedly pulled Liu Mengting outside, with Wu Tie following closely behind.

"Mr. Tang, have you noticed anything?"

Liu Gaoze walked shoulder to shoulder with Tang Ming, asking in a low voice.

"A master, but it seems like he doesn’t practice Inner Martial Arts," Tang Ming analyzed, watching Wu Tie’s retreating figure.

"Good eye," Liu Gaoze exclaimed in admiration, explaining, "He’s a protective force arranged by the organization for my daughter. This Wu Tie is a One-star Martial Master, and he also practices Cross Training Martial Arts."

"Cross Training Martial Master?"

Tang Ming inhaled sharply.

Cross Training Martial Arts referred to External Martial Arts such as Eagle Claw Skill, Iron Sand Palm, Iron Cloth Shirt, training methods involving the toughening of the body. At advanced levels, practitioners could become impervious to blades and resistant to fire and water.

It’s easier to practice External Martial Arts in the beginning, but it gets harder the more you progress because increasing bodily strength requires enduring greater pain and tougher training. The pain intensifies in the Late Stage.

To think that this Wu Tie was able to cultivate External Martial Arts to breach the Martial Master Realm showed his willpower was incredibly strong, and his combat ability was likely no less than that of a Two-star Martial Artist.

"Yes, the current research has reached a critical juncture, and the higher-ups are taking it very seriously. Therefore, after I made the request, they dispatched Wu Tie to ensure my family’s safety."

Liu Gaoze nodded, feeling somewhat proud. Although he was just an ordinary member within the Dark Group, the organization placed great importance on his protective detail—a privilege not enjoyed by the average person.

"Not bad at all, with such a master at the helm, Liu Mengting’s safety is even more guaranteed," Tang Ming nodded repeatedly, very satisfied with the arrangement.

"Indeed. With Wu Tie’s help, you won’t have to work so hard, and you’ll have time to do your things. Thank you for your hard work during this period," Liu Gaoze sincerely expressed his gratitude.

"Taking people’s money to eliminate their disasters is what I should do, but now I can indeed go do some of my own things!" Tang Ming smiled contentedly.
