Chapter 748: Chapter 0748 You Are a Good Person

"Heh, what does the old man have to say now?"

Tang Ming gave a bitter smile, looking towards the bewildered old director.

"This time, I’m also confused? What on earth is going on?"

The old director stared with wide eyes, blankly puffing on a cigarette, coughing continuously from the smoke billowing from his mouth.

"Director, you can’t be confused! Think carefully, did that baby have this pattern on his right foot."

Tang Ming looked nervously at the old director, if that baby was really him, the person being chased could very well be his own father, who had good reason to entrust his child to someone else while being pursued, and if it was true, there would surely be a secret vendetta tangled up in his origins.

"I really don’t know about that, the man left in such a hurry, I only glimpsed at the child’s left foot and saw a birthmark, but as for the right foot—I didn’t see it."

The old director sighed helplessly.

"I..."

Tang Ming felt so frustrated he wanted to spit blood; the mystery of his origins had truly become an unsolvable puzzle, with no clues in sight.

"Right."

Suddenly, the old director lifted his head.

"What is it, did you remember something, what’s that person’s name, do you know him?"

Tang Ming became tense in an instant.

"No, I don’t know that person, the guy was too fierce, I didn’t dare speak with him."

The old director gave an awkward smile and suggested, "However, there’s one way to prove you’re not that child."

"What way?"

Tang Ming looked at the old director with hope in his eyes.

"When the child left, I had already put the name tag on him, the person who adopted the child would have received that tag, you just have to ask your adoptive father if he has that tag, then you can confirm whether or not you were that child."

The old director explained earnestly, "It’s a rectangular wooden name tag, with the character ’Ming’ on it."

"I..."

Tang Ming’s mouth twitched; knowing that old guy, he was the type to misplace things constantly, even if he really was that child, the name tag was probably long gone, and if the old man knew his origins, he’d have told him by now, instead of letting him search on his own.

"Kid, don’t be anxious, everything is predestined in the unseen world, the fact that you haven’t found your parents only means the time isn’t right yet, when the time is ripe, it will all come together naturally."

The old director comforted him with a smile on his face.

"Heh, now all I can do is to look forward to it."

Tang Ming smiled bitterly, neither of his two goals for coming to Songlan City had been achieved.

One of his goals for coming to Songlan City was to break off an engagement, but now, with a third party involved, he still doesn’t know who that person is, making it impossible to break off the engagement; the second goal was to find out about his origins. Now, after searching for so long without finding a trace, he was left completely in the dark.

"Old director, my parents are really looking for me."

Just then, Barmaid Tang Ming, who had finished a phone call, excitedly ran over.

"Haha, you guys had a good chat?"

Seeing Tang Ming like this, the old director asked cheerily.

"Yes, they said they’re coming to pick me up, I told them I’d go there myself, I’ve already booked my flight, I’m flying over right now."

Barmaid Tang Ming couldn’t wait to cheer, then covered her nose, "Tang Ming, why are you taking off your shoes, they smell so strong."

"My feet don’t stink, they’re 24k pure fragrance."

Tang Ming glared at Barmaid Tang Ming, complaining as he put his shoes back on, "You said before that you didn’t care about your parents, and now you’re so eager, you really are insincere."

"You don’t understand, although I don’t care, but, but missing out on familial affection for so many years and it suddenly appears, it’s a novelty for me, it’s good to go and have a look."

Barmaid Tang Ming smiled and brought her hands together in anticipation.

"Since there’s nothing else, let’s go back, I’ll take you to the airport."

Once Tang Ming was dressed, he planned to leave immediately.

"I’ve finally come back here after all this time, the least I can do is have a meal with the old director before I go!"

Barmaid Tang Ming looped her arm through the old director’s, saying with a giggly smile.

"Right, right... sorry, we’re out of food."

The old director had wanted to invite Tang Ming for a meal, but upon seeing Tang Ming, and remembering his appetite from before, he realized he couldn’t afford it.

"What?"

Tang Ming was stunned for a moment.

"Ahem, ahem, we haven’t prepared extra food, it’s better for you two to go back to the city. It wouldn’t be good to miss your flight."

The old director awkwardly explained, it wasn’t his fault for overreacting, mainly because Tang Ming ate too much, and he had been scared by it.

Since there was no meal, Tang Ming drove Barmaid Tang Ming to the airport. On the way, Tang Ming looked at Tang Ming gratefully, "Thank you for doing me such a big favor, and you didn’t take advantage of me, you really are a good person."

"A good person? Heh, I certainly am a good person."

Tang Ming let out a weird laugh. He wasn’t interested in touching this woman, and as for helping, it was just because they shared similar plights, as for other thoughts, not for the moment.

"I don’t even know how to thank you."

Barmaid Tang Ming thought for a moment, then reached up to remove a red and black small wooden token from around her neck and put it around Tang Ming’s, which she had kept with her for seventeen years. She was now giving it to the man who confused her heart, in hopes that he wouldn’t forget her.

"Hey, what are you doing? I’m driving here."

Tang Ming nervously reminded her.

"This is my name tag that I’ve carried with me for seventeen years. It’s as precious to me as my first time. Now, I’m giving it to you as a keepsake."

Barmaid Tang Ming smiled at Tang Ming.

"What do I need this thing for... thanks."

Tang Ming wanted to refuse, but then he thought it could be convenient to ask the old master if he had seen a similar name tag with "Ming" on it. If the old master had seen one, it could confirm he was the baby from the orphanage.

After sending Barmaid Tang Ming off, Tang Ming then returned home to sleep, disheartened. The three women noticed Tang Ming was a bit down, but all three were busy playing video games and didn’t pay him any attention.

In the evening, in the underground drug lab of the Sun Family in the provincial city, Sun Zhuangjia excitedly handed a Detoxification Pill to a middle-aged man who looked like him, "Dad, this is the Detoxification Pill I got from Tang Ming."

"Are you sure it’s a Detoxification Pill? The old master himself was alerted by this matter. If there’s something wrong with the Elixir, you’re going to be skinned."

Sun Wuchang looked solemnly at the black Elixir in his hand, warning him.

"Don’t worry, I used our Sun Family’s most powerful slow-acting Poison on that woman. Apart from the Detoxification Pill, no one can cure it. Now that woman is hopping around full of life, all because she took this Elixir. So it definitely is the Detoxification Pill."
