Chapter 565: Chapter 0565: The Four Great Martial Arts Business Families

Until the class ended, Tang Ming hadn’t woken up, and Li Wenxuan didn’t bother to wake him because a previous incident had caused him quite a bit of trouble, so she now needed to keep her distance from Tang Ming.

Instead, it was Liu Mengting and Li Xiaoli who immediately rushed over to chat with Li Wenxuan after class. The trio had once teamed up to find Jack’s hiding spot and turned Shi Tou into a vegetable, forging a friendship through combat.

At noon, Liu Mengting and Li Xiaoli rarely took Tang Ming with them to Frank’s for a feast. Now that Tang Ming had "lost" his cultivation, they didn’t have to worry about being embarrassed by bringing a freeloader along.

Tang Ming looked utterly miserable. If it had been earlier, having Liu Mengting and Li Xiaoli take him to a small restaurant for a feast would have made him ecstatic, but now that he didn’t want people to know his cultivation had recovered, he could only eat like a cat along with the two girls, which was real torture.

Tang Ming ate a bit of food as fast as he could and then made up an excuse to leave the restaurant early.

Seeing how little Tang Ming ate, Liu Mengting and Li Xiaoli felt upset. They really wanted to see the Tang Ming who ate voraciously like a starved ghost reincarnated, but now he ate so little that it made them feel heartbroken, thinking he must be very upset about his cultivation being destroyed, little did they know...

"This is totally my jam."

In an ordinary cafeteria, Tang Ming was eating and drinking heartily across a table full of food, blissfully talking to himself.

"Brother Ming, it’s so good to see you." Just as Tang Ming was indulging in his food frenzy, he suddenly heard an excited voice.

Looking up, he saw a handsome young man in a white tracksuit quickly walking his way.

"Looks somewhat familiar, who is this?"

Tang Ming wiped his mouth and looked puzzled at the handsome young man running over, "Who are you, do you know me?"

"Brother Ming, it’s me, Chen Cang." The young man was slightly surprised and nervously said, "How do you not recognize me? Did your brain go bad too?"

"Damn."

Tang Ming was startled and his eyes began sizing up Chen Cang.

The previous Chen Cang was a fatty weighing one hundred and eighty kilos, but this guy in front of him looked well-proportioned, barely a hundred and ten.

"You’re Chen Cang? Chen ’Fly’?"

Tang Ming blinked and said skeptically, "Don’t mess with me because I just got back. Chen Cang didn’t look like you at all."

"I didn’t want this either. I’ve been so troubled lately that I’ve lost a lot of weight." Chen Cang sighed and helplessly said,

"Look at my face, it’s all thinned down."

"Damn, you call this thin?"

Tang Ming’s mouth twitched, noticing Chen Cang’s weight loss effect was even more apparent than the diet popsicles he had developed. Sixty or seventy kilos?

"Yes, it’s not bulky at all, which is frustrating." Chen Cang sat across from Tang Ming, and spotting the table full of food, his mood brightened:

"But compared to you it’s still good. You eat so much and still don’t gain weight, it’s such a waste of food."

"Stop acting cute when you’re getting a bargain. You’ve gotten much better-looking since you slimmed down."

Tang Ming rolled his eyes at Chen Cang and waved his hand, "It just so happens that Dafu didn’t come to school today. Go get me some food. I need to have a good meal, or else I’ll be hungry again tonight."

"Alright."

Chen Cang nodded repeatedly and then enthusiastically went to get food for Tang Ming. Just like Zhou Dafu, who had started by fetching food for Tang Ming and later became the young master of the Zhou Family, he felt his spring was just around the corner. As long as he took good care of Tang Ming, his future days would definitely be glorious.

"Have you heard of someone named Hu Wei?"

After filling up, Tang Ming picked his teeth and asked.

"Hu Wei?" Chen Cang’s expression slightly changed, as he cautiously asked,

"Why did you suddenly mention this person?"

"You know him?" Tang Ming was slightly surprised. Chen Cang hadn’t been attending school recently, so how could he know Hu Wei? It was just a casual question, but from Chen Cang’s reaction, it seemed he was quite familiar with Hu Wei.

"It’s all tears."

Chen Cang sighed and then began to recount his sad experiences.

Chen Cang and Hu Wei were classmates in elementary school. At that time, Hu Wei was a disciple of a Martial Arts Family, while Chen Cang was merely a member of a business family, so in front of Hu Wei, Chen Cang had no dignity at all.

At that time, Hu Wei had already started Martial Arts training and often bullied Chen Cang with a gang of followers, forcing Chen Cang to pay protection money.

It wasn’t until later when Hu Wei suddenly disappeared, and Chen Cang gradually began to use his family’s background to bully others. He then mimicked what Hu Wei had done to him, frequently bullying his classmates as a form of twisted revenge.

"Good Lord, it turns out all your bad habits stem from being bullied by Hu Wei," Tang Ming said with a strange expression as he looked at Chen Cang.

"That’s right. Mainly because I was scared from being bullied back then, so later on, I really enjoyed the thrill of bullying others, until I met you..."

Chen Cang sighed profoundly.

"Heh, Hu Wei is back."

Tang Ming laughed and said.

"What? Where is he?"

Chen Cang was startled. Having had a shadow cast over him by Hu Wei in his childhood, just hearing the name now sent chills down his spine.

"While I was not around, he transferred to our class and has been very arrogant."

Tang Ming narrowed his eyes, saying indifferently, "But I kicked him."

"Ah?" Chen Cang exclaimed, anxiously asking, "Ming, do you know what kind of person Hu Wei is?"

"I was just about to ask you who exactly he is to be so arrogant?"

Tang Ming looked curiously at Chen Cang.

"You should know that Songlan City has four great Martial Arts Families and four great business families, right?" Chen Cang organized his thoughts and introduced:

"The four great Martial Arts Families are the Ma Family, Zhou Family, Qin Family, and Hu Family, while the four great business families are the Liu Family, Chen Family, Li Family, and Mo Family..."

"Hold on," Tang Ming interrupted Chen Cang, confusedly asking,

"What’s the deal with this Hu Family and Mo Family? I’ve been in Songlan City for a while now and have never heard of these two families. Also, in the many large-scale social activities, I haven’t seen representatives from these families participating. Could they be invisible families?"

"Heh, great secrecy lies in the mundane. Let’s start with the Mo Family. Although you may not have heard of the Mo Family, they participate in every big event in Songlan City, such as the city-wide celebrities’ social evening, Elder Zhou’s big birthday, and Young Master Zhou Dafu’s succession ceremony..."

Chen Cang spoke with a weird look on his face.

"No way?"

Tang Ming frowned, having attended those events but never hearing about any involvement from the Mo Family.

"Ming, Jun Tianhao Hotel is owned by the Mo Family. Most of Songlan City’s high society events are usually held at Jun Tianhao Hotel. Haven’t you ever wondered why?"

Chen Cang laughed and explained, "Every event is held on Mo Family’s turf. Would you say they aren’t participants?"
