Chapter 714: Chapter 0714: You’re Not Listening Again

"You beast."

The moment he heard this, Shura was instantly enraged. If the woman had ended up like this, there was only one possibility, she must have been violated.

"Hey, hey! Why are you cursing at me?"

Tang Ming roared discontentedly, "Believe it or not, I can kill this woman right now. Damn it, I didn’t threaten her life, and you dare curse me? Do you really think I’m that good-natured?"

"No, no, no, no matter what, please do not harm her life."

Shura’s tone suddenly softened.

Tang Ming looked at Ouyang Xiao with suspicion. Seeing Shura’s attitude, this woman seemed to hold a high position within the Poison Widow Organization.

"If you want me not to hurt her, that’s possible, but it seems you’ll have to pay a price."

Tang Ming squinted his eyes and revealed a mischievous smile.

"What do you want?"

Shura immediately became vigilant. Before, Yaksha had been extorted a billion by Tang Ming. Now that Ouyang Xiao was in Tang Ming’s hands, it probably would cost him a fortune again.

"By the rules, enemies in battle don’t kill messengers, but this woman dared to pull a gun on me. So, dealing with her wouldn’t go against the ethic codes of Jianghu, and even if I killed her, I wouldn’t have any psychological burden. Do you agree?"

Tang Ming said cheerfully.

"You, what exactly do you want?"

Hearing this, Shura felt a chill run down his spine.

"The usual rule, pay the ransom."

Tang Ming yawned arrogantly, "This time I want two billion."

"Okay." Shura agreed without hesitation.

"Damn."

Tang Ming’s mouth twitched. Hearing Shura’s tone, Ouyang Xiao’s status in the Poison Widow Organization must be high. He demanded two billion and Shura agreed so readily—it seemed he had quoted too low a price.

"Damn, last time Yaksha was a Three-star Martial Master, and when I asked for a billion, Shura even bargained with me. This time, I asked for two billion, and he didn’t hesitate. Who exactly is Ouyang Xiao?"

Tang Ming scrutinized Ouyang Xiao suspiciously, then spoke into the phone, "Have Shen Yan come deliver the money and take this woman away. Don’t think about rescuing her. You should know I have two very formidable bodyguards with me. If you mess around, I guarantee Ouyang Xiao’s fate will be very tragic."

"Rest assured, since I promised to pay the ransom, I will not go back on my word."

Shura clenched his teeth, "Where will we make the exchange?"

"Just have Shen Yan come to room 2046 at the Jun Tianhao Grand Hotel to find us."

Tang Ming said, then hung up the phone.

"Who exactly are you that Shura cares so much about you?"

After putting away the phone, Tang Ming looked at Ouyang Xiao with interest.

"Hmph!"

Ouyang Xiao snorted coldly, keeping her eyes closed and ignoring Tang Ming.

"Still being stubborn with me, huh?"

Tang Ming chuckled evilly, "There’s still some time before Shen Yan gets here. Tell me, shouldn’t I do something to you during this time?"

"You, don’t mess around."

Ouyang Xiao quickly opened her eyes and explained, "I am the official spokesperson for the Poison Widow, responsible for contacts and negotiations with all parties. If something happens to me, the Poison Widow Organization would plunge into darkness, losing a lot of resources. That’s why Shura would rescue me."

"It sounds like you are indeed very important, but if you’re so crucial, why would the Poison Widow Organization risk sending you?"

Tang Ming looked at Ouyang Xiao, baffled.

Ouyang Xiao rolled her eyes, annoyed, "Everyone else fears the vengeance and martial power of the Poison Widow. No one would dare to lay hands on me like this."

"Well..."

Tang Ming was suddenly at a loss for words. If it were anyone else, just thinking about the Assassin Organization backing Ouyang Xiao would make them revere her like a goddess. Unfortunately for them, he was no ordinary man.

"Let’s not talk about the ransom yet, now let’s discuss why the Poison Widow Organization wants to reclaim the Jun Tianhao Grand Hotel, shall we?"

Tang Ming looked at Ouyang Xiao with a smile, "The Jun Tianhao Grand Hotel is the Mo Family’s property. Mo Hongsheng lost it to me, and it seems unrelated to you all. Why are you meddling in this?"

"Sorry, I have my principles. These matters involve the secret of the organization, I cannot disclose anything."

Ouyang Xiao unhesitantly made her stance clear.

"You are being disobedient again."

Tang Ming frowned and stared at Ouyang Xiao displeasedly.

"This is a matter of principle. Even if you kill me, I will not speak."

Ouyang Xiao’s tone was resolute, a stark change from before, she stated through clenched teeth: "If you want to force yourself on me, go ahead, I’ll just consider it a nightmare, but I will never betray the secrets of the organization."

Tang Ming looked at Ouyang Xiao for a while, surprised to find that this woman indeed had principles. But he understood that someone who played a significant role in such an assassin organization must possess extraordinary abilities; forced interrogation would yield no results.

"So, you truly aren’t afraid of what I might do to you?"

Tang Ming narrowed his eyes, his expression growing colder.

"Hmph, I am a member of the Poison Widow Organization. Though I am currently unable to move, I still have many ways to kill myself. If you dare touch me, I will immediately commit suicide, and you also won’t get that two hundred million ransom."

Ouyang Xiao snorted coldly. Knowing about the transaction between Tang Ming and Shura, she wasn’t afraid of what Tang Ming might do to her since Tang Ming wouldn’t want her dead if he wished for the money.

"Is that so?"

Tang Ming chuckled, then swiftly moved in front of Ouyang Xiao, grabbed her chin with his right hand, and slapped the back of her head with his left hand.

"Pfft."

Ouyang Xiao spat out a black pill.

"Hiding poison in your mouth, you assassins all have the same tricks."

Tang Ming looked at the pill in his hand, scoffing disdainfully.

"How, how did you find out?"

Ouyang Xiao stared at Tang Ming in disbelief. The skill with which he removed the poison tooth was too professional; perhaps this guy had been an assassin of the Poison Widow Organization.

"A mere trifle, do you have any other threats for me now?"

Tang Ming grinned at Ouyang Xiao, casually removing his jacket.

"Beast, don’t touch me, otherwise, I will certainly kill you afterward."

Ouyang Xiao was genuinely panicked now that she couldn’t even opt for death.

"This is no longer up to you."

As soon as he finished speaking, Tang Ming slapped Ouyang Xiao’s head.

"Ah!"

Ouyang Xiao screamed in fright, then fainted, laying flat on the sofa.

Tang Ming held the Silver Needle, swiftly inserting several needles into acupoints on the top of Ouyang Xiao’s head.

After completing the acupuncture, Tang Ming snapped his fingers, stating indifferently, "Now honestly answer my questions."

"Okay." Ouyang Xiao responded dully.

"What is the relationship between the Mo Family and the Poison Widow Organization? Why do you want to acquire the Jun Tianhao Grand Hotel?"

Tang Ming crouched beside Ouyang Xiao, inquiring curiously.
