Chapter 426: Chapter 0426: Tang Ming’s Capability

"Okay, I definitely won’t call the police."

Liu Gaoze agreed without hesitation.

"Two billion, their appetite is indeed big," Liu Gaoze remarked after hanging up the phone, as Tang Ming sneered.

"The person is in their hands; I have no other choice," Liu Gaoze sighed helplessly and said through gritted teeth:

"Unfortunately, my company doesn’t have that much cash on hand; I need to go back to the institute and think of a solution."

"Hold on," Tang Ming frowned slightly and said calmly:

"The money in the institute belongs to the Dark Group; using it without permission could have unimaginable consequences."

"But I can’t worry about that right now!" Liu Gaoze shook his head in despair, worrying as he spoke:

"From the way the kidnapper spoke, he doesn’t seem to intend to spare my daughter or Xiao Li. If fifty million can really preserve their innocence, I’m willing to spend that money."

"Let me think of a solution. No matter the reason, it’s never right to embezzle funds," Tang Ming reflected and then took out his cellphone to remind him.

"What can you do?"

Liu Gaoze looked at Tang Ming with surprise. He didn’t know that Minghuang Group was Tang Ming’s property. In his eyes, although the current Tang Ming was vastly different from before, the impression of him struggling to afford a meal on the train lingered in his mind, causing Liu Gaoze not to hold much hope for Tang Ming.

"Let’s try," Tang Ming said as he dialed Fat Zhou’s number, wanting to see if Minghuang Group could allocate some funds.

"Boss, this might be a bit difficult," Zhou Dafu said helplessly after hearing Tang Ming’s story:

"You know the situation of the Zhou family. The startup capital of fifty million was also something you helped me acquire, and that amount of money is nothing in the company. The Ma family was also heavily affected by you before and can’t come up with so much money now. This time, both the Zhou and Ma families only put forward fifty million each as a gesture, and all major contributions were from the Li family, so the Li family probably doesn’t have that much money left either."

Now that Minghuang Group had gotten on track and the detoxification liquid had become an instant hit, Zhou family had planned for Minghuang Group to expand its production scale significantly by investing in advanced pharmaceutical equipment, resulting in the depletion of the funds from several major families, making it impossible to reallocate any amount in the short run.

"I understand, I was just asking; don’t worry," Tang Ming explained before hanging up the phone.

"Minghuang Group is your company?"

Liu Gaoze stared at Tang Ming in disbelief. It was only through that phone call that he learned Tang Ming was now the big boss of Minghuang Group.

"Yes, but for now, they can’t reallocate any cash. I’ll think of other ways," Tang Ming nodded and dialed another number.

"Hello, today really is something new, you’re actually calling me on your own?"

A pleasant voice came through the phone.

"Su Xiaoxi, I won’t beat around the bush; I need money right now," Tang Ming said directly, the person on the other end being Su Xiaoxi.

"Ah? No problem, those several million I borrowed from you at the auction; I’ve been wanting to repay you and have it ready,"

Su Xiaoxi was slightly stunned, feeling somewhat displeased inside, as she realized Tang Ming was calling her only because he needed money, which made her quite annoyed.

"Not enough, I’m thinking of borrowing a hundred million from you," Tang Ming pondered for a moment before saying.

"A billion? What do you need so much money for?"

At these words, Su Xiaoxi gasped in surprise, realizing that Tang Ming must be facing some troubles.

"I can’t explain the details to you, just tell me whether you can lend it to me or not." Tang Ming asked directly.

"No problem, I will start arranging the funds now. Send me your account details, and I’ll transfer the money as soon as it’s ready."

Without any hesitation, Su Xiaoxi agreed. After several encounters with Tang Ming, she had come to see that he was no ordinary individual and had always wanted to befriend him. Unfortunately, Tang Ming kept his distance, and their relationship had remained at the pretense of being boyfriend and girlfriend. Now that Tang Ming thought of her in his moment of difficulty, it actually made her happy.

"Thank you, I’ll repay you as soon as possible. If I can’t, I’ll use the detoxification pill and other methods to repay you."

Tang Ming gratefully promised.

"Alright, if you can’t pay back, then let’s make the fake relationship real, and you can be my boyfriend. Consider this money as your allowance."

Su Xiaoxi said very boldly.

"Heh, the money is not enough to keep me."

On hearing this, the stressed Tang Ming was amused.

"Just kidding. I’ll go raise the money for you now, you carry on with your work."

Su Xiaoxi teased playfully and then hung up the phone.

"Handled."

Tang Ming put down his phone and breathed a sigh of relief.

"You, you borrowed money from the Su Family’s young mistress, and she lent it to you?"

Liu Gaoze was shocked again. He knew very well who the young mistress of the Su Family was. He had seen Tang Ming close to Su Xiaoxi before, but he hadn’t expected their relationship to be so strong as to lend a billion!

"Yes, I sent her your account details, she will transfer the money in a bit."

Tang Ming nodded, he didn’t know much about Su Xiaoxi’s background, but her unhesitating generosity this time made him remember this woman’s kindness.

Liu Gaoze swallowed, looking at Tang Ming with shocked eyes. Tang Ming had only been in Songlan City for a few months but had already built such an extensive network—Zhou Family, Ma Family, Li Family, and the colossal Su Family. Now, Tang Ming’s influence had surpassed his own in Songlan City, yet such a formidable person had agreed to work as a bodyguard for the Liu Family, taking a salary of fifty thousand a month.

"What a bargain I picked up. Thankfully, I tricked Tang Ming into signing the bodyguard contract back then. Otherwise, a person like him would never willingly work as a bodyguard."

Realizing Tang Ming’s formidable nature, Liu Gaoze felt lucky but also started to worry, "Tang Ming came to Songlan City to break off an engagement. How can I let such a prospective son-in-law slip away? But once the contract expires, what can I use to retain him?"

"Boss, what are you thinking about? Hurry up and make calls to raise funds!"

Seeing Liu Gaoze staring blankly, Tang Ming reminded him impatiently.

"Ah, right, I’m on it." Liu Gaoze snapped back to reality and rushed to call his company.

As the Chairman of Liu Group, Liu Gaoze’s word was law within the company. When he personally made a call to arrange funds, the finance department did not dare to object and began reallocating the funds without hesitation.

Located in the suburban area of Songlan City, Mount Laojun was bustling with people, a group of mysterious individuals busily moving about.

Mount Laojun covered a broad area, bordered by Jianghai to the east and dense forests of the West Suburb. The seaside was developed into a tourist area, and Liu Mengting and others had visited Mount Laojun for an autumn trip.
