Chapter 421: Chapter 0421: The Female Assassin Who Signals With a Message

"Three-star Cross Training Martial Master."

Hearing these words, Wu Tie’s eyes were filled with despair. There was a two-level difference between them; no wonder he couldn’t even take a single move from his opponent.

As he watched Shi Tou and the others kidnap Liu Mengting and Li Xiaoli, Wu Tie’s vision grew more and more blurred, until he finally passed out.

"What’s going on here?"

After Shi Tou and the others had left, Shen Yan mumbled to herself in a conflicted way from across the villa. She had been keeping an eye on the Liu Family villa and had seen everything that had just happened.

Due to the distance, she couldn’t make out the level of strength of Wu Tie and Shi Tou, but the situation of their fight shocked her deeply.

"Damn it, it’s none of my business, why should I meddle?"

Shen Yan paced back and forth in the room with her phone in hand, deeply conflicted about whether to tip off Tang Ming or not.

"No, I must tell Tang Ming. If something happens to Miss Liu, he won’t continue to be Liu Mengting’s bodyguard. That means he’ll definitely move, and it will be a hassle for me to keep tabs on him again."

After contemplating for a moment, Shen Yan still dialed the emergency number. She didn’t want to lose face by informing Tang Ming directly, so she chose to call the police.

Tang Ming was driving his Ferrari like a madman through the bustling streets, attracting curses from other drivers, but he didn’t care anymore. Even if he violated traffic laws, there would be someone to sort it out for him later. Right now, all he wanted to know was what had happened to Liu Mengting.

After getting into the car, Tang Ming frantically dialed Li Xiaoli and Wu Tie’s numbers, but nobody answered, confirming his worst fears that something had happened at home.

Just as Tang Ming was frantic, his phone rang.

"Hello, who is this?"

Tang Ming answered the call irritably.

"This is Lin Xue." Lin Xue’s voice came through.

"Has something happened to Liu Mengting?"

Tang Ming first paused, then immediately asked impatiently.

"Yes, our police received an anonymous call claiming they saw two girls being kidnapped at the Liu Family’s doorstep. I am at the scene now," Lin Xue informed him, unfazed by Tang Ming’s tone.

"Kidnapped? What about Wu Tie?"

Tang Ming gritted his teeth and shouted.

"Are you talking about the young man in the camouflage outfit? He has been severely injured and is unconscious. He has been taken to the hospital," Lin Xue replied hastily. "We can confirm that the kidnapped are Liu Mengting and Li Xiaoli. The police have gotten involved in the investigation, so don’t panic."

"So what you’re saying is that there are no leads back at the villa now, right?"

Tang Ming furrowed his brow and asked while turning the car around.

"That’s correct. I have notified Chairman Liu Gaoze. He should be returning shortly, and you should come back too," Lin Xue said, trying to soothe Tang Ming’s emotions thereby speaking gently.

"I’m going straight to the hospital. Keep me updated if there’s any development."

Tang Ming said before hanging up the phone, then steered his car toward the hospital.

With Liu Mengting and Li Xiaoli now confirmed to be in the hands of the kidnappers, the only people at the scene were the mysterious caller and the victim, Wu Tie.

To understand the situation, Tang Ming could only seek out Wu Tie.

Thinking that Wu Tie, a One-star Cross Training Martial Master, had been severely injured in the encounter, Tang Ming felt especially heavy-hearted, as this indicated that this time’s adversaries were tremendously powerful.

"Damn it, who in Songlan City dares to mess with Liu Mengting now?"

Tang Ming drove and couldn’t help but start cursing.

Now that the Qin Family of Songlan City had fallen and both the Ma Family and the Zhou Family were his people, and since the martial masters of the Ma and Zhou families didn’t have the ability to injure Wu Tie so severely, could it be that the Poison Sect made a move?

But that shouldn’t be right either, those people from the Poison Sect are only good at using poison. Once a Cross Training Martial Master cultivates their power, they become impervious to blades and fire, and immune to water and fire. By holding their breath, they can shield themselves from poisons; it would be impossible for them to sustain serious injuries from poison.

"Hey, I can only go to the hospital to see Wu Tie’s injury first and then decide what to do next."

Having thought for a long time without clarity on who was behind the attack, Tang Ming sighed helplessly and stopped pondering over it.

By the time Tang Ming arrived at the hospital, Wu Tie was in the emergency room being resuscitated, and Lin Canghai and Captain Zhou stood at the door with somber expressions, waiting.

"How is the situation?"

Tang Ming asked anxiously.

"The situation is very grim."

Lin Canghai, not bothering with pleasantries with Tang Ming, handed over the report on Wu Tie’s injuries, spoke with a heavy tone,

"Wu Tie’s Cross Training Martial Arts has been broken through. His breastbone is fractured, his internal organs are damaged, and it seems he may not make it. Just who have you provoked to encounter someone so powerful?"

Lin Canghai truly was at a loss. Wu Tie was considered a top expert in the Dark Group, and when he was dispatched to protect Liu Meng, Lin Canghai had been somewhat displeased because he had applied to get closer to Tang Ming by protecting Liu Meng himself, but his request was denied, and Wu Tie was sent instead.

Now, Lin Canghai felt somewhat relieved. Wu Tie, as a One-star Cross Training Martial Master, was beaten to such a state—if it had been him, he probably would have been killed already.

"I’ll go in and take a look; no matter what, we must save Wu Tie."

Tang Ming said firmly after taking a look at the injury report.

"Wait a minute! Tang Heart, I’ve already checked, and Wu Tie is too severely injured, I’m afraid there’s no saving him?"

Lin Canghai grabbed Tang Ming, frowning as he spoke.

"Modern medical skills might not be able to save him, but he’s not dead yet. If I make a move, I should be able to save his life."

Tang Ming squinted his eyes and said confidently.

"Have you considered that if an enemy can injure Wu Tie to this extent, why would they leave him alive?"

Lin Canghai hesitated, then suddenly asked.

"Hm?"

Tang Ming was slightly startled, then his expression changed subtly.

If someone could harm Wu Tie to this extent, they could have easily killed him. Now they deliberately left him alive, hanging onto life by a thread—is this really a coincidence?

"I think the enemy definitely knows you have medical skills, so they intentionally inflicted such injuries on Wu Tie. The goal is to make you consume your True Qi while saving him, so perhaps this time their aim isn’t just Liu Meng but also to target you."

Lin Canghai analyzed word by word.

"If you put it that way, there indeed is no flaw," Tang Ming hesitated before saying with furrowed brows:

"But Wu Tie was injured like this while saving Liu Meng. How can I stand by and not save him? Moreover, he’s from the Dark Group. Could you bear to watch me do nothing to save him?"

"I... I’d hate to see you get into trouble even more."

Lin Canghai moved his lips, then spoke his true feelings.

"I appreciate your kindness, but right now, only Wu Tie knows what happened. I must awaken him."

Tang Ming nodded and said while narrowing his eyes, "Nevertheless, your reminder was timely. I’ll conserve my strength and just bring Wu Tie back to consciousness for now. But if I don’t heal him with all my power, his cultivation might never recover."
