Chapter 704: Chapter 0704: Finding the Wine-Tricking Woman

Shortly afterward, Tang Ming instructed the hotel staff to seal off the presidential suite. At the same time, he curiously asked Xin Badao and Chu Batian, "How much do you know about the Mo Family in Songlan City?"

Chu Batian and Xin Badao exchanged glances and awkwardly said, "We really don’t know much about them. After all, the Poison Sect is a significant force, and even the Martial Arts Families in the urban areas pay little attention to them; how could we concern ourselves with a commercial family like the Mo Family?"

"Now that things have gotten to this point, do you still think the Mo Family is just an ordinary commercial family?" Tang Ming’s mouth twitched slightly, his eyes flickering, "Being able to provide cultivators with such a cultivation site indicates that the Mo Family is definitely involved in the Martial Arts world, and the people of the Mo Family are skilled in gathering information and excel in strategizing; they are definitely not simple."

Logically, Tang Ming should have directly sought Mo Hongsheng to inquire about the presidential suite incident, but the current situation was not suitable for contacting Mo Hongsheng, especially since losing a hotel was already frustrating enough; asking him too many questions could easily intensify conflicts.

"Hearing you say that, I’ve thought of an existence, but that force definitely isn’t the Mo Family of Songlan City." Xin Badao frowned tightly, looking uncertainly at Tang Ming.

"Let’s hear it," Tang Ming was intrigued.

"The Hidden Sect Mo Family, a family known as Heavenly Mechanism Divine Calculation, experts in Divination, indeed an eminent family of wisdom in the Martial Arts world," Xin Badao said with a grave expression, naming the force.

"Hidden Sect Mo Family?" Tang Ming dug at his ear, unsurely asked, "Between this Hidden Sect Mo Family and the Poison Sect, which is more powerful?"

"Ahem." Chu Batian choked on Tang Ming’s words, quickly waving his hands, "Poison Dragon, that joke is not funny at all. There’s absolutely no comparison between Poison Sect and Hidden Sect Mo Family."

"It seems Poison Grandmaster, you are not quite clear about the power hierarchy in the Martial Arts world. The current strength hierarchy in the Martial Arts world, from bottom to top, is as follows: ordinary sects, sects, Hidden Sects and Hidden Families are on par." Xin Badao gave a bitter smile, sighed, and said, "Poison Sect is ranked among sects, countless times more powerful than ordinary sects, while Hidden Sects and Hidden Families are a level above Poison Sect. Thus, this Hidden Sect Mo Family is countless times more powerful than the Poison Sect, and it is on the same level as the Hidden Sect Tang Sect which supports us indirectly."

"There’s a Hidden Sect behind Poison Sect?" Tang Ming was bewildered, "Then why haven’t you two beaten me and sought the Tang Sect as your backup?"

"Not hiding anything from Poison Grandmaster, we did initially consider that, but unfortunately, within Poison Sect, only one person can contact Tang Sect, and that is my junior brother Poison Immortal, also the master of Poison Dragon and Mei Dufeng." Chu Batian looked candidly at Tang Ming, helplessly said, "Regrettably, my junior brother has been missing till now, so currently, Poison Sect cannot get in touch with Tang Sect, and these Hidden Sects and Hidden Families don’t usually meddle in the Martial Arts world and have never sent anyone to contact us."

"So that’s the case. If your junior brother has met with misfortune, then it’s like you’ve been abandoned by Tang Sect, right?" Tang Ming looked strangely at the two bigwigs of Poison Sect, feeling lucky that they hadn’t contacted Tang Sect until now. Listening to them, it seemed Tang Sect was very powerful, and he might not have been able to handle them.

"Rest assured, even if my junior brother returns, we will certainly not oppose you," Chu Batian quickly made clear his intention. Now that both he and Xin Badao had benefited from Tang Ming, and since they were already under Tang Ming’s control, there was no need to be enemies with Tang Ming.

"Good, as long as you follow me properly, it will certainly not be worse than following Tang Sect. Maybe one day, I might even lead you to surpass Tang Sect," Tang Ming grinned confidently and said.

"That might be difficult," Xin Badao laughed awkwardly. Although they were confident in Tang Ming, Hidden Forces were superpowers that have endured through ages; surpassing them was not easy.

"Tch, no matter how powerful Hidden Forces are, can they oppose the state? Don’t forget, I am now a group leader in the Martial Arts Inspection Team," Tang Ming disparaged, seriously reminding them.

"Right, right, right, speaking of which, the Hidden Forces would also give Poison Dragon plenty of respect," Chu Batian’s eyes brightened. Tang Ming’s power hadn’t been exercised yet, but he had the country backing him, although it was uncertain whether that would be enough to manage the Hidden Forces.

"You guys watch them seal this room; I’m going to find a room to sleep," Tang Ming yawned, heading off into the distance.

Luckily, he was now the owner of the Jun Tianhao Grand Hotel; otherwise, he really wouldn’t know where to sleep tonight since his room had been commandeered by Liu Mengting and her two friends, Zhou Dafu’s room had a couple, and as for Chen Cang’s room, Tang Ming wouldn’t dare to venture in recklessly.

Having no other choice, Tang Ming casually opened another room and slept soundly through the night.

The next morning, Tang Ming was woken up by his phone.

"Hello, who is it, this early?" Tang Ming sleepily answered the phone.

"Hello Mr. Tang, this is Tan Ruoxi from the police station." Tan Ruoxi’s sweet voice came through.

"Police Officer Tan, what do you need so early in the morning?" Tang Ming perked up, curiously asked.

"We have caught the suspected fraudster involved in the earlier wine-related scam, and we now need you to come over and confirm her involvement in the crime. When might you be available to come to the station today?" Tan Ruoxi explained very professionally.

"You caught her?" Tang Ming instantly perked up, hastily asked, "Have you pressed her for the mastermind behind her?"

"No, she is a professional con artist, frequently involved in similar crimes, so she won’t confess to all cases. At present, she has not admitted to deceiving you, so we need you to come back and assist with the confirmation," Tan Ruoxi sighed helplessly. Though they had caught her, she wouldn’t admit her involvement in deceiving Tang Ming, and without any witness, the police had no way of dealing with her.

"Okay, I’ll come to the station soon and confront her," Tang Ming replied, then hung up the phone, quickly got out of bed to wash and dress. He had never been played like this before, and he was determined to find out who was behind this.

Tang Ming dressed neatly, but before he could leave, he heard someone knocking at his door.

"Who is it, so early?" Tang Ming opened the door puzzled, and was momentarily stunned to see Liu Mengting and her two friends, looking haggard with their suitcases at his door.

"What’s going on?" Tang Ming asked uncertainly, "You all look exhausted, didn’t you sleep well last night?"

"We’re going home. This hotel is too scary, and it scared us so much that we didn’t sleep well at all last night," Li Xiaoli yawned and said dully, looking at Tang Ming.

Liu Mengting and Xia Wei’er also looked drained.
