Chapter 886: Bring Over a Billion

Chapter 886: Chapter 886: Bring Over a Billion

"Is the Ming Group really that impressive?"

Tang Ming walked towards Ling Shengtian and said contemptuously, "Now I can tell you, I am... My brother is the head of the Dark Group’s Martial Arts Inspection Team. These two are bodyguards my brother got for me."

"You, you are Tang Xin’s big brother?"

Ling Shengtian’s eyes widened in disbelief as he stared at Tang Ming. As the secretary of the deputy director, he knew about Tang Xin.

Recently, the Ming Group investigated Tang Xin, but they found nothing, as if Tang Xin had appeared out of nowhere. Now, suddenly, there’s an older brother, and he’s from the same hometown, also operating in Songlan City. This is really the worst luck ever.

Although the Ming Group members are not concerned about Tang Xin right now, everyone knows the Dark Group has an untouchable figure. Even Five-star Martial Master Yang Bupo and the deputy head of the Martial Arts Inspection Team got disciplined by him, so everyone is wary of Tang Xin.

If he had known Tang Xin’s big brother was in Songlan City, he wouldn’t have come back for the New Year. Now, falling into the hands of the brother of the guy who dares to discipline the Ming Group’s higher-ups, his identity as part of the Ming Group might not scare the other party.

"Even if you are Tang Xin’s big brother, you have no right to detain me. After all, you are not the head of the Dark Group’s Martial Arts Inspection Team."

Ling Shengtian shouted with a tough front.

"Heh, sorry to say, but our brothers have always been united. Otherwise, Tang Xin wouldn’t have sent these two experts to protect me. So, falling into my hands is equivalent to falling into Tang Xin’s hands."

Tang Ming laughed, coldly looking at Ling Shengtian, "You’d better not try to scare me with your Ming Group identity right now, or I guarantee you will deeply regret it."

"What do you want exactly?"

Hearing this, Ling Shengtian didn’t dare to clash with Tang Ming and asked through gritted teeth.

"I’m still thinking about it."

Tang Ming frowned, genuinely indecisive. Since this guy is a Ming Group higher-up, he can’t kill him directly. But since he’s already captured, he can’t let him go easily either.

"Pay up!"

Seeing that Tang Ming wasn’t speaking, Li Xiaoli shouted angrily, "I accidentally hurt you, and you made me and Sister Meng Meng accompany you for a meal and even wanted to use force. Now you’ve beaten up Xiao Cang Cang like this, if you don’t compensate, don’t think you’ll have it easy!"

"I’ll kick you eight times a day."

Li Xiaoli glared malevolently at Ling Shengtian’s lower part and added viciously.

"How much money are you talking about?"

Ling Shengtian quickly clamped his legs together. Even as a Four-star Martial Master, he couldn’t withstand Li Xiaoli’s furious kicks.

"Good idea."

Tang Ming’s eyes lit up, and he said mischievously, "Since you just said you’re a Ming Group higher-up, your value must be considerable, right? Should be worth some money."

"Cut the crap, just tell me how much will settle this."

Ling Shengtian shouted impatiently. For the Ming Group, money isn’t an issue. They don’t consider anything that money can solve as problematic. He’s amassed quite a sum over the years.

"Humph! You’ve beaten Xiao Cang Cang so badly, at least ten..."

Li Xiaoli calculated and raised her hand to name the price.

"At least one billion."

Tang Ming quickly interrupted Li Xiaoli. He was a professional at extortion.

"Pfft!"

Hearing this, Ling Shengtian almost spat blood. Even though he had embezzled quite a bit over the years, his total worth was only a few tens of millions. Starting with a billion was just asking for death.

"I..."

Li Xiaoli looked at her hand, bewildered. She originally just wanted to ask for a hundred thousand, but Tang Ming was so ruthless, asking for a billion. How could anyone come up with that?

Even Liu Mengting and the others were shocked by Tang Ming’s outrageous demand.

"Big brother, be reasonable with the price. Even if you kill me, I can’t come up with a billion."

Ling Shengtian looked at Tang Ming sorrowfully after collecting himself.

"From your earlier display, I thought you were wealthier than that. Can’t even handle a mere billion, what a disappointment."

Tang Ming sneered, "But I didn’t have much hope in you to begin with. Your boss, however, should be pretty loaded, right?"

"What do you mean?"

Ling Shengtian looked at Tang Ming, puzzled.

"I will demand this money from the Ming Group. If they don’t pay, then sorry, you’ll just have to stay detained."

Tang Ming chuckled, walked directly to Ling Shengtian, and searched his pocket for a phone, "What’s your director’s number?"

"You want to extort our director?"

Ling Shengtian’s eyes bulged, angrily shouting, "Are you mad? I’m just a secretary, the organization won’t spend that much to ransom me."

Both the Ming Group and the Dark Group are divided into several small teams, such as Tang Ming’s Martial Arts Inspection Team, so the highest leader is called the director, the head of the Ming Group.

"Then it just means you’re incompetent. So you’ll just have to stay detained obediently."

Tang Ming shrugged, impatiently saying, "Cut the crap, hurry up and tell me the number."

"Kid, don’t refuse a toast only to drink a forfeit."

Chu Batian snorted coldly, stamped his foot hard, causing the concrete floor to crack under his foot.

"I don’t know the director’s number, only the deputy director’s contact."

Seeing the situation, Ling Shengtian instantly reported the deputy director’s number without hesitation.

Tang Ming used Ling Shengtian’s phone to call. After a few beeps, the line connected, "Shengtian, how’s your holiday going?"

"I’m not Shengtian, your Shengtian is in my hands now. If you want him released, immediately bring one billion over."

Tang Ming shouted with a gangster’s demeanor.

"Hmm?"

The other person on the line was taken aback and asked puzzledly, "Who are you? Do you know what you’re saying?"

"I’m Tang Xin, head of the Dark Group’s Martial Arts Inspection Team. Ling Shengtian offended me and I’ve captured him. If you want to save him, bring the money."

Tang Ming introduced himself with a smile and asked, "Did you get that?"

"Tang Xin?"

The deputy director’s tone grew severe, "Daring to blackmail me, do you know what you’re doing?"

"I absolutely know what I’m doing. I’m blackmailing you, now answer me, will you pay or not?"

Tang Ming shouted arrogantly.

"You scoundrel, you’ve got a lot of nerve."

The deputy director roared angrily, coldly warning, "I don’t care who you are in the Dark Group, if you dare to touch a hair on Ling Shengtian, I swear you’ll regret it for life."

"Heh, one finger, right?"

Tang Ming smirked and looked at Xin Badao, "One finger."

"Yes."

Xin Badao understood immediately and moved like a flash to Ling Shengtian, stomping down on his hand.

"Ah, my finger... Director, save me, save me!"

Ling Shengtian clutched his crushed finger, howling in pain.
