Chapter 554: Chapter 0554: Three Beautiful Ladies

After everyone else had left, Tang Ming sat on the sofa and looked at Lin Canghai, "Now that they’re gone, can you tell me what’s the matter?"

"Is your cultivation really gone?"

Lin Canghai stared at Tang Ming intently and asked.

"What do you think?"

Tang Ming shrugged his shoulders and said helplessly, "I’m just an ordinary person now."

"Really? For real?"

Lin Canghai looked at Tang Ming uncertainly and said with confusion, "If you were just an ordinary person, how could you afford to hire two five-star martial masters as your bodyguards?"

"Heh, if someone else asked this question, I wouldn’t be surprised. But you asking such a thing, aren’t you a bit too naive?"

Tang Ming laughed derisively and gave Lin Canghai a disdainful look.

Upon hearing this, Lin Canghai found himself at a loss for words, knowing that with the old man’s abilities, not to mention a five-star martial master, even a nine-star could probably be arranged for Tang Ming.

"Why did you appear here so timely?"

Seeing Lin Canghai silent, Tang Ming asked with curiosity.

"Sigh, it’s all because of you."

Lin Canghai heaved a sigh and said with apprehension, "Ever since you disappeared, I’ve been tracking down news about you, not for any other reason than fear that if you really got into trouble, the old man would wreak havoc, which would undoubtedly be a disaster for us. Once I heard you had reappeared, I immediately flew over, and just happened to stumble upon Hao Jian’s situation..."

"Right, since you’re here, why don’t you tell me how Liu Gaoze got caught by the Dark Group? And that good-for-nothing Hao Jian, how could he come out unscathed after making such a big mistake last time, and even become the Group Leader of some military special research team?"

Tang Ming furrowed his brow and asked several questions in a row.

"These questions, I’ll answer them one by one."

Lin Canghai thought for a moment and said calmly, "Although Hao Jian is useless, the Hao Family behind him has significant influence. Add to that Wu Xiaoyu and the Wu Family supporting and arranging from behind, they not only pulled him out of the previous mistake but also got him a very important position, and it’s likely that he’ll rise even higher soon."

"Damn it, even such a loser can keep climbing up the ladder. Having backers really is nice!"

Tang Ming said with a look of disdain, speaking with disgust, "Now you see why I didn’t want to join the Dark Group? That’s the reason."

"Cough cough, indeed there are some problems, and it’s not just the Dark Group, every department has its share of bad apples and troublemakers!"

Lin Canghai gave an awkward smile and continued, "Hao Jian’s current position was previously Liu Gaoze’s, the legendary Group Leader of the military special research team, which is a department that collaborates with the military to develop some..."

"No need to go into such detail with me, I don’t care to know."

Tang Ming waved his hand to cut Lin Canghai off, saying impatiently, "Right now, I just want to know, why was Liu Gaoze caught? And when will he be released?"

"That I cannot answer."

Lin Canghai sighed and said helplessly, "You should know that the Dark Group has many factions internally; it’s not a one-man show. That Hao Jian is with another faction. After assuming the position of Group Leader of the military special research team, he accused Liu Gaoze of embezzlement and occupying state assets, and the higher-ups are investigating this matter. I can’t just rescue him directly."

"Investigation?"

Tang Ming frowned and snorted disdainfully, "Your so-called investigation wouldn’t happen to be just torture for confessions, would it?"

"Absolutely not."

Lin Canghai immediately shook his head and assured, "Rest assured, as long as I’m here, I guarantee Liu Gaoze will receive the fairest investigation. If he is innocent, no one can frame him; this is my promise to you."

"Alright, with your word, I feel relieved. Since that’s the case, I won’t be in a hurry to rescue anyone."

Tang Ming nodded and squinted his eyes, "As for that Hao Jian, you’d better warn him not to come looking for trouble with me. Otherwise, I won’t be polite."

"After this incident, he probably won’t bother you again. But if he dares, I hope you can show mercy. As long as you don’t kill him, I can protect you."

Lin Canghai said, somewhat pleadingly.

"Fine."

Tang Ming nodded, willing to give Lin Canghai that much face.

"In that case, I’ll take my leave now."

Lin Canghai stood up and suddenly stared at Tang Ming to ask, "Has your cultivation really gone?"

"What else?"

Tang Ming glared back at Lin Canghai.

"Hey, I had just broken through to become a Two-star Martial Artist and was hoping to ask you for advice. Now that you’re out of commission, I suddenly feel like something’s missing in my life!"

Lin Canghai sighed ruefully.

"Heh, I think you’re just itching for a beating. Without me thrashing you, you seem restless."

Tang Ming replied contemptuously. If Lin Canghai knew he was now at the peak of Five-star, he wondered if Lin could still be as sentimental as he was now or might as well faint in the bathroom.

Lin Canghai shook his head and walked out with big strides, sneaking a glance at Xin Badao and Chu Batian before leaving the villa.

Standing at the villa’s entrance, Lin Canghai looked at the information sent to his phone and was completely shocked.

"Hahaha, Tang truly lives up to his name, even without cultivation, he still makes waves."

Lin Canghai put away his phone and drove off with a big laugh.

After Lin Canghai left, Tang Ming collected his emotions and called out to the upstairs, "Ladies, you can come down and catch up now."

"Tap tap tap!"

A series of rapid footsteps rang out, then came to an abrupt halt, and Liu Mengting and the two other ladies descended from upstairs casually.

"Holy cow, a complete transformation!"

Tang Ming was startled to see the three women’s new looks, so different from the pitiful, tear-streaked faces before. Now, after some careful dressing up, each looked glamorous and chic.

Liu Mengting was wearing a snow-white jumpsuit dress, paired with silver rhinestone-studded high heels, her long hair cascading behind her, and subtle makeup accentuating her beauty, appearing as dazzling as a princess from a fairytale.

Li Xiaoli was decked out in meticulously tailored maid attire, with two white flower accessories in her hair that were tied into two shoulder-length braids, and black fabric boots on her feet that exemplified her youthful charm.

What surprised Tang Ming the most was Xia Wei’er, who, from an unknown source, wore a Golden Phoenix Qipao, with her white legs flashing tantalizingly through the high slits. Her hair was pinned up on top of her head, and her lips were a striking red.

"What’s going on?"

Tang Ming swallowed hard, finding it too stimulating to see the three women in such attire with his self-control.
