Chapter 464: Chapter 0464: Visitors from the Qin Family

"Humph!"

Upon hearing those words, Liu Mengting let out a cold snort, feeling somewhat displeased inside.

"Brother Tang Ming really is biased, actually telling you to find him later but speaking so heartlessly to us."

Li Xiaoli, unlike Liu Mengting who always kept things bottled up inside, grumbled directly with an unhappy face.

Xia Wei’er moved her lips, hesitating to speak. Hearing Li Xiaoli’s words, she felt an inexplicable sense of pride inside—after all, Tang Ming treated her differently.

"What exactly did Tang Ming tell you on your side? How could you not have noticed that his cultivation was crippled?"

Xia Wei’er frowned and asked with confusion.

"Alas, we have always been concerned about his health, but after he was discharged from the hospital, his gunshot wounds had healed, and he didn’t show any signs of being injured."

Li Xiaoli sighed helplessly and said dejectedly, "So we had no idea he was hurt. Hearing that he wanted to terminate his contract and leave, both Meng Meng and I were really angry."

"So, that’s what happened!" Xia Wei’er nodded and muttered to herself:

"He looks completely normal from the outside, and if I hadn’t noticed his decreased appetite, I wouldn’t have seen it either."

Li Xiaoli and Liu Mengting exchanged glances, seeing self-reproach and annoyance in each other’s eyes. They too had noticed Tang Ming’s eating issue but had not connected it to his physical condition.

It had to be admitted that in this regard, they were indeed not as observant as Xia Wei’er.

"Even if he has lost his cultivation, I still can’t understand why he must leave."

Liu Mengting frowned and looked at Xia Wei’er, puzzled.

"He said he has too many enemies. If people found out he has lost his cultivation, it would inevitably attract those enemies’ vengeance. Then, not only would he be in danger, but it would also put you all at risk."

Xia Wei’er sighed heavily and said emotionally, "Even in such a state, he is still thinking about your safety. How could I not be angry when I heard you speak about him like that?"

"It’s not your fault, really not your fault!" Li Xiaoli nodded and explained helplessly:

"It’s not our fault either, mainly because Brother Tang Ming didn’t tell us he was injured and kept refusing our pleading for him to stay, leading Meng Meng and me to believe Brother Tang Ming was a cowardly ingrate, which is why we spoke so harshly."

Xia Wei’er suddenly realized that all those misunderstandings stemmed from miscommunication and analyzed,

"Tang Ming didn’t tell you the truth because he was worried about your concern and guilt; that way, he couldn’t leave peacefully. When he first came to say goodbye to me, he also said some hurtful things, and although I was very sad, I noticed his physical problems."

"That jerk!"

Upon hearing this, Liu Mengting couldn’t help but curse, finally understanding that Tang Ming’s purpose in being so heartless was to make her and Li Xiaoli think he was a bad person, so they could completely let go of him, even despising him.

After all, Tang Ming’s actions were to protect them, even at the cost of bearing the reputation of a villain.

"Right! Meng Meng, hurry and call Uncle Liu to inform him about this!" Li Xiaoli hurriedly reminded:

"Uncle Liu probably doesn’t know about Brother Tang Ming losing his cultivation either; otherwise, he would never let Brother Tang Ming leave."

"Yes, yes, yes." Liu Mengting nodded repeatedly, only then remembering that she and Li Xiaoli weren’t the only ones kept in the dark by Tang Ming.

"I’ll call Sister Lin Xue to help find Brother Tang Ming."

Li Xiaoli also hurriedly took out her phone to make a call.

Watching the two women on their phones, Xia Wei’er felt somewhat complicated. Although she knew more about Tang Ming than the other two, their connections and status were much higher than hers; she couldn’t reach as many people to help find Tang Ming.

Due to Tang Ming’s sudden departure, Liu Gaoze was in a very bad mood. If Tang Ming were just a bodyguard, his leaving wouldn’t matter much; Liu Gaoze could just pay for another one. But Tang Ming was also Liu Mengting’s fiancé.

Originally, Liu Gaoze had persuaded Tang Ming to be Liu Mengting’s bodyguard partly for her safety and partly to let Tang Ming get to know and spend more time with Liu Mengting. He was confident his daughter was outstanding and would make Tang Ming fall for her. But now...!

While Liu Gaoze was sighing in his office, he suddenly received a call from Liu Mengting.

"My darling, is what you’re saying true?"

After hearing the news that Tang Ming had left because his Cultivation was destroyed, Liu Gaoze jumped up and exclaimed incredulously.

"It’s true, he left because he turned into an ordinary person and refused our persuasion to stay. He’s not heartless and ungrateful, but a good person with deep feelings and loyalty," Liu Mengting said sadly.

"Now he’s had a car accident and disappeared. Dad, you must find a way to find him!"

"My darling, don’t worry. I’m calling my friends right now to help find Tang Ming," Liu Gaoze walked back and forth, comforting her.

"You wait for me at home, I’ll be back soon, and don’t let your classmate leave, I need to talk to her in person."

"Okay, hurry, I–I’m worried Tang Ming is in danger."

Liu Mengting tried to stay calm as she spoke.

After hanging up the call, Liu Gaoze’s feelings became even more complicated as he said to himself:

"I knew I hadn’t misjudged him, Tang Ming must have had a compelling reason to leave. It must be out of fear that, lacking Cultivation now, his enemies would seek revenge and he didn’t want to drag our Liu Family and Meng Ting into this. That’s why he decided to leave."

Once Liu Gaoze understood the real reason Tang Ming left, he started making frantic calls, using his connections to search for Tang Ming.

After going through a list of contacts, Liu Gaoze put on his coat, ready to go home to see Xia Wei’er, as he had many questions to ask her in person.

"Boss, there’s someone here to see you."

Just as Liu Gaoze was about to leave, Liu Fei hurriedly pushed open the office door.

"I have an urgent matter to handle right now; I’m not seeing anyone," Liu Gaoze said without hesitation, as he was in no mood to see anyone at the moment.

"No, it’s people from the Qin Family!" Liu Fei quickly reported.

"People from the Qin Family?" Liu Gaoze paused briefly, puzzled.

"What are people from the Qin Family doing here at this time?"

"I don’t know, but their intentions don’t seem good. Qin Aotian is personally leading them here, and they’ll be storming in soon," Liu Fei said anxiously.

Liu Gaoze calmed down, wondering to himself:

"Tang Ming just had an incident, and now the Qin Family shows up; did they capture Tang Ming, wanting to threaten me?"

"Take them to the reception hall." Thinking of this possibility, Liu Gaoze immediately changed his attitude!
