Chapter 724: Chapter 0724: Mo Family’s Car Breaks Down

"Qin Zhuang is dead?"

Gao Ya looked shocked and skeptical, "That means Tang Ming is still alive."

"Yeah, Qin Zhuang’s done for, and Tang Ming is living it up. There was no way to launch an assault, so I had no choice but to retreat with my people."

Chen Cang responded helplessly.

"Useless, a bunch of useless fools."

Gao Ya cursed angrily, grinding her teeth, "Once I take care of my current affairs, I’ll personally deal with this matter. I refuse to believe I can’t take down Tang Ming."

"Is that really necessary? Our mission is to get the material from the military special research institute, and I’m now in tight with Tang Ming and the others. I will definitely find an opportunity to complete the mission."

Chen Cang said somewhat reluctantly, not wanting Gao Ya to intervene in the affairs of Songlan City.

"Hmph, it’s not just about the mission anymore. I want to see Tang Ming dead."

Gao Ya snorted coldly and angrily hung up the phone.

"What’s going on?"

Chen Cang looked at his silent phone with a confused face. There shouldn’t be any direct grudges between Gao Ya and Tang Ming, so why does it look now like Tang Ming has wronged her and left the woman behind?

Unable to figure out the problem, Chen Cang switched to a different phone and dialed Tang Ming’s number: "Big Brother Tang, how do you like the conspiracy I designed? I’ve trapped Qin Zhuang so badly she can’t escape."

"Talk properly, your way of speaking is disgusting."

Tang Ming reminded with a look of disgust.

"Ew, I am talking properly!"

Chen Cang retorted coquettishly with a hum, then asked seriously, "Big Brother Tang, have you offended that Gao Ya?"

"Not at all! I’ve only heard of her from you, but I have never actually met her. How could I have offended her?"

Tang Ming replied with confusion.

"That’s strange, Gao Ya seems not too concerned about the mission now, but instead is obsessed with killing you. She said she wants to come personally to handle this matter."

Chen Cang furrowed his brow, his mind full of question marks.

"Well, I don’t know then. Anyway, I haven’t offended her."

Tang Ming tried to recall, but could not even remember what she looked like, so how could he have offended her?

"Sigh! This is so frustrating. I thought after getting rid of Qin Zhuang, I could be free and unrestrained. I didn’t expect Gao Ya to come over personally, making life even more difficult."

Chen Cang sighed dejectedly.

"What comes will come; if it doesn’t work out, just take that woman down too."

Tang Ming said nonchalantly, "We’re heading to Wubei City tomorrow. Get the car ready in the morning, and we’ll head over to find you early."

"Alright, alright, oh by the way..."

After nodding, Chen Cang recounted the incident about the mysterious people who appeared around Liu Building.

Tang Ming didn’t know the identity of those people, and since they hadn’t committed any harmful acts, he didn’t care to know their identity either, so he didn’t take the matter to heart.

The next day, after breakfast, Tang Ming looked at Liu Mengting and the two other ladies dragging three large suitcases and carrying loads of bags, and his mouth twitched.

"Ladies, we’re going to wish Mr. An a happy birthday, not on a vacation. What’s with all the bags?"

Tang Ming grumbled with a speechless expression on his face.

"We’re just going on a trip."

Li Xiaoli grinned and said straight out, "What’s the fun in an old man’s birthday? Our main mission is to go shopping for clothes in Wubei City."

"You’ve got to be kidding!"

Hearing this, Tang Ming rolled his eyes, knowing full well that Li Xiaoli was just tagging along for the fun, and not at all interested in wishing the old man a happy birthday.

Afterward, a group of people drove to Chen Cang’s house, accompanied by Xin Badao, Chu Batian, and others like Zhou Dafu and Ma Gangqiang. Unlike other family powers, these guys were purely out for fun. Only Tang Ming was truly going to wish Grandpa An well, as a gesture of gratitude for the help he had received in the past. The others were just going to hang around.

Since no one knew how to drive a bus, Tang Ming had to take the wheel himself, driving a bunch of people to Wubei City.

After driving for a while, the people in the car were either sleeping or listening to music, and all was relatively quiet.

The Mo Family had also received an invitation from the An Family, and Mo Hongsheng was their representative.

At that moment, Mo Hongsheng and Xiao Wen stood on the highway from Songlan City to Wubei City, constantly waving at passing vehicles, with a white BMW that had broken down behind them.

"Young Master, people are really cold these days; no one is willing to give us a ride."

Xiao Wen, thumbs up to the passing cars, complained in frustration.

"It’s our fault for not checking the car before we left, otherwise it wouldn’t have broken down halfway."

Mo Hongsheng helplessly looked at the broken-down car, which was awkwardly situated between Songlan City and Wubei City. It would take a long time to call someone from either side, so they had no choice but to hitchhike to Wubei City.

Unfortunately, Mo Hongsheng and Xiao Wen waited for a long time, and although many cars passed by, not one stopped to help.

"I’m dying of thirst here; we’ve been waiting for an hour and we’ve already drunk all of our water."

Xiao Wen rubbed her throat, continuously waving her hands, and spoke in dismay, "On TV, those who hitchhike just have to stick out their fingers and someone lets them carpool. Why is it so difficult when it’s our turn?"

"Heh, that’s because we’re two people, and we’re a man and a woman."

Mo Hongsheng smiled faintly, speaking calmly.

"Does that make a difference?"

Xiao Wen looked at Mo Hongsheng, puzzled. She didn’t understand the connection between being a man and a woman and hitchhiking.

"If it were just you, a girl, I believe many people would be willing to stop and give you a ride. Now that there are two of us, few people would want to invite that trouble."

Mo Hongsheng frowned helplessly, continuing, "Although there are many good Samaritans nowadays, most drivers who like to pick up passengers en route don’t have good intentions. Plus, due to some bad practices in remote tourist areas, the unspoken rules of hitchhiking are rampant. It’s okay for girls to hitchhike, but they should be prepared to be taken advantage of, especially..."

Mo Hongsheng stopped mid-sentence, but Xiao Wen understood the implications.

"Men swipe their cards, women swipe their bodies; it’s disgusting."

Xiao Wen curled her lip in disgust, unwilling to accept it, "But I believe there are still good people out there. Someone will be willing to give us a lift."

No sooner had she finished speaking than a black Mercedes drove up. Seeing Xiao Wen gesturing for a ride on the side of the road, it actually stopped.

The driver was a bald middle-aged man with a chunky gold necklace. After stopping the car, he leered at Xiao Wen, "Beautiful, where are you planning to go?"

"Big Brother, we’re going to Wubei City. Could you give us a lift?"

Xiao Wen looked pitifully at the middle-aged man.

"No problem."

The middle-aged man’s eyes lit up, then glanced at Mo Hongsheng, "However, my car only has space for one of you. Your boyfriend can wait for you to come back and find him. What do you say?"
