Chapter 448: Chapter 448: Convening the Board of Directors

This was the only method Tang Ming could think of to stabilize Xia Wei’er. A few years should be enough for the girl to forget about him, and then...

"Okay, it’s a deal!"

Xia Wei’er nodded solemnly.

"Also, you must not tell anyone about my cultivation being crippled. Once the news leaks, I might not be able to leave Songlan City," Tang Ming reminded seriously.

"I know, I absolutely won’t tell anyone."

Xia Wei’er nodded solemnly again, then said earnestly, "But you have to promise me one thing."

"What is it? As long as I can do it now, I will agree," Tang Ming promised without hesitation.

"You can definitely do it." Xia Wei’er’s face blushed slightly as she affirmed:

"Before you leave, you must come to see me one last time. Tell me the time in advance, and I will tell you the location when it’s time."

Tang Ming was stunned for a moment, not knowing why Xia Wei’er would make such a request, but he nodded anyway:

"Okay, I promise."

"You better not lie to me," Xia Wei’er cautioned uneasily.

"Don’t worry, I, Tang Ming, spit a nail when I talk; I will definitely help with anything I commit to."

Tang Ming smiled confidently: "I have never deceived you."

"Hmph, weren’t you just trying to deceive me? But I forgive you!"

Xia Wei’er breathed a sigh of relief, saying understandingly:

"You must still have many things to deal with, so go busy yourself."

"After I’m done, I’ll call you," Tang Ming said unabashedly, standing up to pay the bill and then leaving.

Xia Wei’er wistfully watched Tang Ming’s retreating figure, her expression first one of sadness, then shyness, and finally determination.

After saying goodbye to Xia Wei’er, Tang Ming immediately drove to Minghuang Building. On the way, he called Zhou Dafu to convene a board meeting, asking him to gather the key members of the Zhou Family, Ma Family, and Li Family.

As Tang Ming rushed to the Minghuang Building, a white Volkswagen was persistently trailing behind him.

"Brother, did this boy take the wrong medicine today?" Mei Dufeng asked dubiously while driving, looking toward his seatmate Long Duba:

"Why is he not staying put at the Liu Family’s place, running around everywhere instead?"

"You’re asking me? Who am I supposed to ask?" Long Duba glanced at Mei Dufeng irritably, squinting as he said:

"Well, at least we have a chance to know his whereabouts, maybe we can find an opportunity to capture him."

"This... Now he is a martial master, with our cultivation, even if it’s just him alone, we probably can’t handle him."

Mei Dufeng frowned, helplessly saying, "The task the Sect handed to us this time is too difficult!"

"Ah, if we hadn’t made a mistake with the Detoxification Liquid issue, this impossible mission wouldn’t have fallen on our heads," Long Duba laughed helplessly, morosely adding:

"Just follow him. Even a tiger has its napping moments, I don’t believe he doesn’t have any flaws."

After being reprimanded by the higher echelons of the Poison Sect, Long Duba and Mei Dufeng were dispatched to Songlan City to carry out the operation to capture Tang Ming. However, being very self-aware of Tang Ming’s fearsomeness, they dared not act rashly and could only keep to the shadows, tracking him discreetly.

Tang Ming hadn’t noticed that Long Duba and Mei Dufeng were following him, mainly because his cultivation had diminished and his divine sense was no longer as sharp as before, coupled with a heavy heart, he simply had no mind to pay attention to these things.

When Tang Ming arrived at the Minghuang Building, none of the major directors of the group had arrived yet.

After greeting Zhou Dafu, Tang Ming immediately entered the pharmaceutical research laboratory.

Zhou Dafu had no idea what had happened and could only wait outside for the other directors to come.

Once inside the lab, Tang Ming began working on the base solution of the Detoxification Liquid, which, although composed of many detoxifying ingredients, required a crucial step of adding the base solution made from Tang Ming’s own blood, meaning he was the only one who could produce the true Detoxification Liquid.

Although he had lost his cultivation, fortunately, the detoxifying power of Tang Ming’s blood was still present, which provided him some solace.

By the time Tang Ming had finished preparing the base solution, Ma Benyue, Zhou Xianyi, Li Xiangui, and others had all arrived.

In the conference hall of Minghuang Group, Tang Ming sat on the chairman’s sofa, with a one-liter glass bottle in front of him, filled with bright red liquid.

People from several families were sitting at the conference table, chatting and laughing with one another.

This was the first full attendance board meeting since the establishment of Minghuang Group and the first board meeting chaired by Tang Ming; everyone was excited because the development of the group had been booming recently, and describing it as making buckets of money daily wasn’t an exaggeration.

"Everyone, I have called you here today because I have an announcement to make,"

Tang Ming knocked on the table, his tone serious as he spoke.

Upon hearing this, the crowd quickly fell silent, each sitting erect and attentively looking at Tang Ming.

"I’ll cut to the chase, I need to leave for a while to take care of some matters, and I’m not sure when I will be back,"

Tang Ming bluntly announced.

"Ah? Boss, where are you going?"

Zhou Dafu exclaimed, "The Minghuang Group is progressing swiftly right now, what will we do if you’re gone?"

The others also voiced their concerns; the major families had come together because of Tang Ming, and without this linchpin...

"Don’t worry," Tang Ming reassured as he patted the glass bottle in front of him, smiling as he continued:

"This is the base solution for the Detoxification Liquid I’ve prepared. Using the formula I’ve given you before, this base will be enough for you to produce a large amount of Detoxification Liquid, enough to last for several years of sales."

"Mr. Tang, you’ve prepared so much base solution, are you planning to leave for several years?" Zhou Jian asked, frowning uncertainly.

"I can’t say for certain, it could be a few months, or it might be a few years,"

Tang Ming nodded, thinking to himself with reluctance:

"Or perhaps I might never come back, but this base solution should be enough for you to double the money you’ve invested. I can’t afford to let you all incur losses."

"Mr. Tang, have you encountered any difficulties? Feel free to tell us, we will definitely help you resolve them with all our might,"

Ma Benyue suggested as he looked at Tang Ming.

"That’s right, Mr. Tang’s issues are also Li Family’s issues. Even if it means risking everything, the Li Family will certainly help you overcome this difficulty,"

Li Xiangui promptly declared, with everyone else displaying the same attitude.

"It’s not as serious as you all think," Tang Ming smiled and explained:

"You all know that I am Liu Mengting’s bodyguard, and now that the task there is completed, I need to move on to the next mission. The timing of bodyguard duties can’t be predicted, so I also can’t say for sure when I will be able to return."
