Chapter 721: Chapter 0721: Quite tasty

"Qin Zhuang, our people have found that the vicinity of Liu Building is teeming with a large number of suspicious individuals. Be careful on your own,"

Chen Cang’s voice rang in Qin Zhuang’s ear.

Qin Zhuang’s eyebrows twitched, but she did not show any flaws on the surface.

Inside a brown business van not far from the main entrance of Liu Group, Chen Cang, with a serious expression, and a handsome, wealthy man were observing the situation of Qin Zhuang and Tang Ming through binoculars.

"Damn, what is going on here?"

Chen Cang put down the binoculars, unable to hold back cursing.

"Brother Cang, what’s happened?" The handsome, wealthy man looked at Chen Cang with confusion.

"Call me Sister Cang. Do I look like a brother to you?"

Chen Cang glared at the handsome, wealthy man, clearly annoyed.

"Cough, Sister Cang."

The handsome, wealthy man felt a wave of disgust inside but managed to suppress the urge to erupt.

"Our plan was to have Qin Zhuang go after Tang Ming first. Then he would lure Tang Ming’s bodyguards away by pretending to flee. After that, our forces hidden around the building would launch an ambush on the Liu Group. But now, our people report that there are many impostors like us around the Liu Building."

Chen Cang squinted, anxiously explaining. He knew Tang Ming hadn’t arranged for any men around, so who could have sent these mysterious people?

Chen Cang had already planned that if Qin Zhuang’s plan failed, he would immediately signal his men to retreat. But now that there was an additional group of people with unknown identities, they wouldn’t take orders from him. The most terrifying thing was that Tang Ming was unaware of this situation.

At this moment, Tang Ming had already met up with Qin Zhuang. Chen Cang couldn’t notify Tang Ming at this time, lest it raises Qin Zhuang’s suspicion and complicates matters further.

"Sister Cang, the games you play are so high-level, I just can’t keep up,"

The handsome, wealthy man was completely lost, clueless about what Chen Cang intended to do but aware that the situation seemed to have escalated beyond his expectations.

"Huff, huff, huff, you don’t need to know."

Chen Cang took a deep breath and raised the binoculars again to observe how the situation was unfolding. Now all he could do was pray that Tang Ming could handle the unexpected.

In another business van, fitted with a large amount of modern electronic equipment, Ouyang Xiao, Shura, Yaksha, and Shen Yan sat staring fixedly at several screens within.

Poison Widow’s hacker had already hacked into the Liu Group security system, accessing the cameras in the lobby of the Liu Building, enabling them to see everything happening inside. Four monitors displayed the meeting between Tang Ming and Qin Zhuang from various angles to the onlookers.

"What’s happening here? How did Tang Ming suddenly show up at the Liu Building?"

Ouyang Xiao’s face was ashen as he stared at the young man with his legs crossed on the screen.

"I have no idea either; this is troublesome."

Shura shook his head, a worried expression on his face. "With Tang Ming here, our assault on the Liu Building will probably be very difficult to pull off."

Shura had spent two days gathering Poison Widow’s men from all over to prepare for today’s terrorist attack on the Liu Building. But before they could act, Tang Ming appeared, which filled him with dread.

Since Tang Ming was here, the two super bodyguards normally with him would likely be guarding in the shadows. If Poison Widow’s people continued with the assault on the Liu Building, the losses were bound to be severe.

"Wait," Ouyang Xiao clenched her fists. She really wanted to have everyone attack Tang Ming together, but she knew she couldn’t do that, because the prowess of Tang Ming and those two bodyguards was too terrifying. If they acted, not only would they fail to get revenge, but Poison Widow might be devastated.

"Wait for what?"

Yaksha stared at Ouyang Xiao, puzzled.

"We wait for Tang Ming to leave, then we’ll strike at the Liu Building,"

Ouyang Xiao said decisively, "I refuse to believe he will stay here forever. The moment he leaves, we’ll launch our offensive immediately."

Shura and the others exchanged glances but no longer spoke, leaving the decision to Ouyang Xiao.

"It does look very appetizing, I wonder how it tastes?"

Tang Ming showed interest as he looked at the cake on the table.

"Hehe, it’s of course extremely delicious. You can try it first, I guarantee you’ll be very satisfied,"

Qin Zhuang encouraged with sparkling eyes.

"Alright, then I’ll... start with some fruit to whet my appetite."

Tang Ming moved like lightning and ate the pitaya and strawberries on top of the cake.

"Damn it!"

Seeing this, Qin Zhuang’s mouth twitched. Those two pieces of fruit were his markers for identifying which side had the bomb. Now that Tang Ming had eaten them, if something were to happen, he wouldn’t be able to tell which side was the bomb and which was intact.

"The fruit is not bad, it just seems a bit unfresh."

Tang Ming wiped his mouth and picked up a knife and plate, ready to dig into the cake.

Qin Zhuang, recalling from memory, stared intently at the half of the cake with the bomb, and Tang Ming’s knife was poised to cut exactly that side.

Just as the knife was about to come down, Tang Ming suddenly stopped his motion and looked at Qin Zhuang warily, "You wouldn’t have poisoned me, would you?"

"How could that be?"

Qin Zhuang hastily called out, "I’m a legitimate businessman. It was Mr. Chen who tried our cake first and found it delicious before recommending it to you."

"Is that so? Then take a bite and show me. Don’t blame me for being suspicious, but I’m worth billions and very rich now, so my life is extremely precious, and I fear death,"

Tang Ming put down the knife and stared at Qin Zhuang expressionlessly.

"Fine, I’ll take a bite for you." Qin Zhuang picked up the knife without hesitation. Since the cake hadn’t been touched, he clearly remembered which side was safe.

Qin Zhuang was about to cut a safe piece of the cake with the knife when suddenly a heartrending scream came from behind him.

"Damn, a wardrobe malfunction!"

Tang Ming, looking behind Qin Zhuang, exclaimed excitedly.

Caught off guard by the voice and Tang Ming’s shocked expression, Qin Zhuang couldn’t help but look back, only to see a female office worker in a skirt who had somehow fallen to the ground; her skirt was ripped, and she lay there, embarrassingly covering herself.

"Hehe, it’s actually red. Seems like this chick is quite saucy,"

Tang Ming grinned and started laughing.

"Yeah, yeah,"

Qin Zhuang turned back, echoing the laughter, then ignored the commotion behind him and cautiously cut a piece of the cake and started eating.

"Really no poison?"

Tang Ming looked at Qin Zhuang unsurely.

"Of course there’s no poison. I wouldn’t dare harm you even if you lent me the courage,"

Qin Zhuang said with a smile while eating, "Delicious, really delicious. Try it if you don’t believe me."

"Alright then."

Tang Ming nodded, then picked up the knife and cut a piece of cake from the position directly symmetrical to where Qin Zhuang had cut and began eating, "Not bad, it’s quite tasty."
