My Co-renting Lady Boss
Chapter 712 - 0712: Are You Threatening Me?

Chapter 712: Chapter 0712: Are You Threatening Me?

Although she was somewhat worried, when she thought about how Tang Ming’s cultivation was now crippled, and how she herself was no ordinary frail woman, Ouyang Xiao didn’t object. If it weren’t for the fact that Tang Ming couldn’t easily be killed, renting a room would actually be a good opportunity to assassinate him.

Afterwards, under the strange gaze of the front desk, Tang Ming booked another room. The young receptionist who just graduated looked at Tang Ming, the man who brought two women to book rooms twice in a morning, with disdain.

The main issue was that Tang Ming’s room booking frequency was too high; the woman from earlier hadn’t even checked out before he brought another woman to the same hotel for a room. He didn’t even fear the two women might run into each other and a trial-like confrontation would ensue.

Tang Ming, unconcerned with the gazes of others, took Ouyang Xiao up the elevator to a business suite.

"It’s quiet here; we can talk about why you’re looking for me," he said.

Tang Ming settled on the living room sofa and gestured to Ouyang Xiao to sit down for a talk.

"My purpose is very simple," she stated.

Ouyang Xiao sat opposite Tang Ming, adjusted her glasses with a hand and said emotionlessly, "I am here for the Jun Tianhao Hotel."

"What do you mean?" Tang Ming looked at her blankly.

"It means that we are already aware that you have won the Jun Tianhao Hotel from the Mo Family, but we hope you can return this hotel to the Mo Family or convey it as a gift to the Poison Widow Organization," Ouyang Xiao clarified her intentions straightforwardly.

Hearing this, Tang Ming furrowed his brow, stared at Ouyang Xiao for several seconds, and asked uncertainly, "Did the Mo Family send you here?"

Could it be that Mo Hongsheng, unwilling to accept the loss of the hotel, sought out the Poison Widow to get the hotel back?

That shouldn’t be the case.

Considering Mo Hongsheng’s way of doing things, as a person who dares to act openly, it made no sense for him to ask for the hotel back just a day after losing it; he might as well not honor the wager at all, so why go through such trouble?

But if it wasn’t the Mo Family who sent the people from the Poison Widow, then why would the Poison Widow involve themselves in this matter? Unless...

A flash of insight sparked in Tang Ming’s eyes as he considered the possibility that the Mo Family had a connection to the Poison Widow Killer Group.

This discovery alarmed Tang Ming. No one expected that the Mo Family, a business family, would have a connection with the Poison Widow Assassin Organization. These two entities seemed utterly unrelated, yet here they were, in cahoots, concealing it so deeply.

"Who sent us is not important. What is important is that we kindly ask Mr. Tang to carefully consider our request; otherwise, the consequences will be troublesome," Ouyang Xiao veiled her threat within diplomatic words.

"Hehe, interesting, are you threatening me?" Responding to her words, Tang Ming laughed, "Last time I picked up an old man, and you paid a hefty sum to get him back. It seems you haven’t learned your lesson and still want to oppose me."

A twitch appeared at the corner of Ouyang Xiao’s mouth. Previously, Yaksha had attempted to assassinate Tang Ming and was nearly killed by him. The Poison Widow Organization even got extorted by Tang Ming for a huge sum of money. Although afterward, the Poison Widow Organization was able to recover their losses doubled from the Qin Family, it was a huge blow to the reputation of the Poison Widow, becoming a significant disgrace.

"Hmph, times have changed. Previously, you were a powerful martial master, but now you’ve lost your cultivation. Opposing our Poison Widow Organization is not a wise decision," she threatened.

Ouyang Xiao snorted coldly, picked up the teacup, and used drinking tea to mask her irritation.

"Although I currently don’t have any cultivation, I do have two powerful bodyguards. The Poison Widow Organization should be aware of this, right?"

Tang Ming carelessly curled his lip, leaned back on the sofa, and scoffed, "If you really want to cause me trouble, go ahead and try. I guarantee you’ll end up worse off than that old man before."

"I won’t deny that," Ouyang Xiao admitted without disguising her thoughts. With two experts from the Poison Sect as his bodyguards, it indeed wouldn’t be easy for them to lay a hand on him. "But we don’t want to kill you either. After all, you are now the owner of Jun Tianhao Hotel. If you die, no one could transfer the hotel’s ownership to the Poison Widow Organization. Moreover, according to our investigation, you have no parents, wife, or children. If you die, your assets would only be confiscated, leaving us without a way to claim them."

Ouyang Xiao didn’t hide her intentions. The Poison Widow Organization had never intended to kill Tang Ming; they just wanted the hotel back.

"So after all this, you still don’t dare to kill me. Then there’s even less reason for me to compromise with you."

Tang Ming yawned, speaking with impatience, "Once something lands in Tang Ming’s hands, there’s no chance of it being spat back out. If you have the guts, try to take it by force and see if I give a damn about your threats."

Upon hearing this, Ouyang Xiao laughed with another layer of meaning and reminded him, "Mr. Tang, although we can’t do much to you, are you sure everyone around you is safe?"

"What do you mean?" Tang Ming’s face turned cold.

"It’s quite simple. The Poison Widow Organization operates in the shadows, and a lot of what we do also can’t see the light of day, like assassinations and surprise attacks. And the targets we go after don’t necessarily have to be Mr. Tang himself; it could be someone from the Zhou Family, the Ma Family, or the Liu Family." Ouyang Xiao took a sip of her tea and explained calmly.

"Are you threatening me?"

Tang Ming sat up straight, staring at Ouyang Xiao with a displeased expression. He himself feared nothing and could dismiss the Poison Widow without care, but his friends and family would be in danger if faced with the Poison Widow’s assassins.

Even though Xin Badao and Chu Batian were powerful, they were only two people and could not protect everyone. The Poison Widow Killer Group, however, possessed a large number of assassins. If these people launched simultaneous attacks, they would certainly cause significant casualties.

"You could put it that way."

Ouyang Xiao didn’t deny it and solemnly warned, "If you don’t obediently return the Jun Tianhao Hotel, then we will have to take action against those close to you. I hope you won’t regret it then."

"Hahaha!" Tang Ming suddenly burst into laughter, his gaze fixed on Ouyang Xiao with lethal intent. "Tang Ming really isn’t afraid of threats. Go ahead and try. If even a hair on one of my friends is harmed, I will ensure the Poison Widow Killer Group is annihilated without a trace."

"Hehe, I’m afraid you don’t have that ability, Mr. Tang."

Ouyang Xiao set down the teacup and looked coldly at Tang Ming, "Do you know where the people of the Poison Widow are? Do you understand the organizational structure of the group?"

Tang Ming was suddenly at a loss for words; an assassin organization like Poison Widow was incredibly secretive, and even if he wanted to eradicate them, he wouldn’t be able to locate their whereabouts.

"Ouyang Xiao."

Tang Ming stared at Ouyang Xiao with a hostile look, calling her name.

"What?"

Ouyang Xiao met Tang Ming’s gaze with a composed expression.

"Since you can act as the spokesperson for the Poison Widow, you must hold a high position within the Poison Widow Killer Group, right?"

Tang Ming licked his lips and eyed Ouyang Xiao with a playful look.
