Chapter 695: Chapter 0695: Xiaowen’s Trick

"I’m not willing to just lose to Mo Hongsheng like that."

Tang Ming curled his lips. The news about the small Chen Group, Xiaobai, and the potential recovery of his cultivation was of great importance to him.

"Let’s not waste our time here; let’s just go check the results."

Hearing what Tang Ming said, Li Xiaoli began to harbor some hope for him.

When Tang Ming and the others arrived at the notice board, many people were already waiting in front of it, including Mo Hongsheng and Xiaowen.

"Brother Ming, you guys finally made it."

Zhou Dafu and Xia Wei’er approached them immediately.

"The results are out now; we’re just waiting for the teacher to uncover the red cloth, then we’ll know our scores."

Xia Wei’er looked at Tang Ming with a worried expression.

"Since we’re here, let’s be at peace," he said.

Tang Ming nodded, looking at the notice board obscured by red cloth, feeling somewhat unsure.

Since Tang Ming began his journey, everything had been within his control, except when his cultivation was destroyed last time, which stirred up the same anxious emotion. This event, too, was beyond his expectations, so he couldn’t guarantee a better score than Mo Hongsheng.

On the other side, Mo Hongsheng looked at the notice board indifferently. Although he was also unsure, his good psychological quality allowed him to mask his anxiety well.

"Hehe, Young Master, rest assured, you will definitely win this time."

Xiaowen was fully confident, and with her arrangements, though Tang Ming unexpectedly returned to school at the last moment, she believed with so many questions left unanswered, he couldn’t have scored better than Mo Hongsheng.

"Hey wow, sissy, you got here pretty early,"

Chen Cang looked at Mo Hongsheng and shouted exaggeratedly, "You guys are really despicable."

"What do you mean?"

Mo Hongsheng frowned slightly, puzzled as he looked at Chen Cang.

"Pfft, don’t play dumb with me."

Chen Cang curled his lip, looking disdainfully at Mo Hongsheng, "My Brother Ming doesn’t know he fell into your trap, but I’ve looked into it thoroughly."

"Chen Cang, what exactly is the matter?"

Hearing this, Tang Ming became puzzled, and Liu Mengting and the other girls also looked blankly at Chen Cang.

"Exactly, you wouldn’t be trying to be a sore loser now, would you?"

Xiaowen glared fiercely at Chen Cang.

"The one playing dirty isn’t me, it’s you two," Chen Cang spat out disgustedly.

"Chen Cang, watch your language, or even if you are from the Chen Family, I won’t be kind to you," Mo Hongsheng said, his face turning cold as he had never endured such insult before.

"Oh, feeling guilty and lashing out in shame, are you?"

Chen Cang rolled his eyes and said sneeringly, "I have already investigated it clearly. The reason my buddy had to leave school suddenly on the exam day was all because of a trap you guys set up."

"What?" Hearing this, Tang Ming and others were taken aback.

Especially Tang Ming, who hadn’t realized he was being manipulated. How did Chen Cang know about this?

"What nonsense are you spouting?"

Mo Hongsheng was also clueless, not knowing what was going on.

However, Xiaowen’s face changed slightly, and she became visibly anxious.

"You think your actions are so secretive that no one knows your sleaziness? The Mo Family found an orphan file named Tang Ming at the Tian Yang Orphanage, then you notified the Tang Family couple who were searching for their daughter, and told them that they must go to the orphanage within a set time to possibly find their child. Next, you informed the Ma Family, who relayed the message to my buddy, forcing him to rush to the orphanage to recognize his relatives at that specific time."

Chen Cang gave a cold laugh, his sarcasm filled with disgust, "Taking advantage of my buddy’s urgent desire to discover his origins, you designed such a despicable ruse that he couldn’t refuse."

"Are these things you are saying true?"

Tang Ming furrowed his brow, carefully recalling the events of that day, the location of the Tian Yang Orphanage, and how it was too coincidental that the car ran out of gas right then.

"Of course they’re true."

Chen Cang raised his head, squinting as he spoke, "Mingge, you are such a figure, how could you possibly abandon the gambling game and suddenly leave school without a compelling reason? And you failed to return on time? I realized that very day that this might have been orchestrated deliberately, so I had people closely monitor the Mo Family and their every move, and indeed made a significant discovery."

"What discovery, huh?"

Li Xiaoli immediately pressed for details.

"I discovered that the wily girl secretly received a middle-aged couple, and then sent them out of Songlan City overnight."

Chen Cang pointed at Xiaowen, proudly declaring, "However, I soon had that couple brought back, and after some questioning, they revealed that Xiaowen had informed them to visit the orphanage at a specific time to look for their daughter. When they didn’t find her, they went back to Xiaowen to ask for more information..."

Upon hearing this, Mo Hongsheng abruptly turned to face Xiaowen.

"Young master..."

Xiaowen lowered her head in disarray, not expecting that even though she had been so secretive, she was still discovered.

Originally, Xiaowen thought if the middle-aged couple did not find their daughter, that would be the end of it. But driven by desperate desire to find their daughter, they, not having found her at the orphanage, turned up looking for more information. She had to send them out of Songlan City, lied that their daughter might have gone to another city, for fear of exposing the scheme.

"Wow! I can’t believe how despicable you people are!"

Li Xiaoli suddenly understood, glaring furiously at Mo Hongsheng.

Tang Ming, on the other hand, narrowed his eyes and stared strangely at Mo Hongsheng. He hadn’t suspected this was a plot by the other party, and he hadn’t been very open about his actions to find his origins. Yet, the Mo Family had managed to exploit this vulnerability.

The most terrifying aspect was that the Mo Family’s plan was very perfect, showing no obvious signs of manipulation. The orphan’s data was real, the parents looking for the child were real. If the Mo Family had hired actors, it wouldn’t have escaped his notice, because everything seemed genuine, and he hadn’t suspected a thing. For the Mo Family to arrange such a plan so stealthily, they were no ordinary business family.

"Heh, all is fair in war. Even if I did it, so what?"

Mo Hongsheng smiled calmly, "The gambling table is like a battlefield, and this time it involved the ownership of Chen Group and Jun Tianhao Hotel and... No matter what means I use, as long as they are reasonable and legal, there’s no problem! Plus, I’ve only manipulated some real events, and haven’t done anything false or deceptive! Tang Ming could have completely ignored it and continued with his exams. Nobody forced him, right?"
