Chapter 927: Chapter 0927: Ruin Her Reputation

"Understood!"

As soon as they heard this, Fu Renjie’s few henchmen immediately understood the implication, each picking up a bottle of wine or beverage nearby and started pouring them into their mouths.

"Bunch of idiots!"

Seeing their actions, Tang Ming instantly understood their purpose.

"Spray him for me."

Fu Renjie grabbed a bottle of wine, took a sip, and instantly sprayed it towards Tang Ming. Other henchmen stood by Fu Renjie and launched their own attacks towards Tang Ming.

"Tang... Tang Xin, get out of the way."

Lin Xue immediately stood up and backed away, not expecting that someone of Fu Renjie’s status would play such a disgusting trick, as if it was little kids playing house.

Watching the spray of wine coming towards him, Tang Ming sat calmly in his chair, quickly pulling out a lighter, flicking it, and at the same time, used qi to blow the wine back.

"Whoosh"

A cloud of fire appeared out of nowhere.

The high-grade wine at these parties was highly flammable, and since Fu Renjie and his group sprayed it into a mist, when it met the flame from Tang Ming’s lighter, it instantly caught fire, spreading back towards their mouths.

"Ahhh, help!"

Fu Renjie and his group didn’t expect Tang Ming to play so sinisterly. Caught off guard, they were all badly burnt, their faces blackened, with hair and eyebrows singed.

The commotion caused a stir, and the guests at the event turned to watch.

"Good, good, this performance is quite entertaining."

While Fu Renjie and his men were busy putting out the fire, Tang Ming shouted loudly, clapping furiously.

Seeing Tang Ming clap, Lin Xue hurriedly followed suit, amazed at Tang Ming’s quick reaction. While she only thought of dodging, Tang Ming could actually think of using a lighter to retaliate.

Seeing Fu Renjie and his group looking like smoked chickens, Lin Xue couldn’t help but laugh. Fu Renjie, who always relied on his background, had been behaving arrogantly in the Imperial City and recently kept pestering her; she estimated that after this, he wouldn’t dare bother her again.

The onlookers saw Lin Xue and Tang Ming cheering and thought it was some special performance, so they all clapped and cheered as well, especially since Fu Renjie was burned beyond recognition and no one realized it was the notable figure from the Imperial City.

"Bastard, I know who you are. Just wait, I won’t let you off."

Fu Renjie cast a venomous glance at Tang Ming, covered his face, and ran out. If people recognized him, he’d lose all face.

Several henchmen also hurriedly followed him out.

The "performance" left and the crowd dispersed; no one cared about such a little incident.

"How did he recognize me?"

Tang Ming slightly frowned, then complained to Lin Xue, "It’s all your fault for calling out my name just now. Otherwise, he wouldn’t know how to get back at me."

"I was just worried about your safety!"

Lin Xue muttered in grievance, feeling that timely replacing "Tang Ming" with "Tang Xin" at the critical moment was already quite a feat.

"Never mind, I don’t really care anyway. I guess he won’t bother you anymore. Are you satisfied now?"

Tang Ming smiled nonchalantly.

"Satisfied, my foot."

Lin Xue sat back in her chair, glaring angrily at Tang Ming, "Why did you say I hired you to ruin my reputation?"

"Men are just like that. The more pure and untouched you present yourself, the more they want to conquer. That guy wouldn’t truly give up on you. Now that he’s lost interest, he naturally won’t pester you anymore."

Tang Ming explained with a grin, self-righteous as he said, "You just asked me to help get rid of him, you didn’t tell me how to do it, so was I wrong?"

"You... are just being unreasonable."

Left speechless by Tang Ming’s argument, Lin Xue could only swallow her bitterness.

The two sat in awkward silence for a while before several young men came to invite Lin Xue for a dance, all of whom she declined.

These people politely extended their invitations and weren’t too arrogant or domineering, so nothing significant happened.

"It’s so annoying! Tang Ming, dance with me, so these flies will stop bothering me."

Fed up, Lin Xue looked towards Tang Ming and insisted.

"Nope."

Tang Ming refused without hesitation, thinking, "I already told Su Xiaoxi I don’t dance, and now if I accompany Lin Xue to the dance floor, won’t Su Xiaoxi cause trouble for me?"

"I can teach you. If you don’t, I’ll immediately announce your true identity loudly."

Seeing Tang Ming refuse, Lin Xue shouted angrily; she rejected so many invitations, and now taking the initiative to invite Tang Ming to dance, he declined. It’s just unfair.

"Can’t you stop blackmailing me with this? Is this how a public officer should act?"

Tang Ming complained gloomily.

"Hmph! It depends on who it is. Get up, let’s dance."

Lin Xue smugly huffed, finally having the upper hand over Tang Ming for the first time since she’d known him. It felt too good, and she intended to make full use of her advantage.

Reluctantly, Tang Ming had to accompany Lin Xue to the dance floor.

After Fu Renjie and his group left the hotel, they found a nearby clinic to treat their injuries.

"This is too much. Lin Xue always acts so aloof, who knew she’d sink so low, preferring an escort over giving our Ren brother a chance, it’s infuriating."

"And that pretty boy, making our situation so miserable, I just can’t swallow this anger."

Several henchmen angrily cursed.

"Shut up, all of you."

Fu Renjie shouted angrily and said through gritted teeth, "I won’t let this go."

"Ren brother, what do you plan to do? Should I get someone to teach that bastard a lesson?"

One henchman immediately suggested menacingly.

"Fighting and violence are too unsophisticated."

Fu Renjie squinted, sneering, "This time, I want to ruin that bitch Lin Xue’s reputation, let everyone know what kind of person she is."

Others exchanged glances, unsure of Fu Renjie’s intentions, but they knew he was a master of manipulation and none of his enemies had good outcomes.

"Bring your phones; we’re going to the Five-star Hotel at Jiujin to catch them in the act."

Fu Renjie threw away the towel he was using to wipe his face and sneered, "Isn’t Lin Xue going to the hotel with that pretty boy? Let’s help her make some photos and videos so she can really become famous."

"Brilliant."

Others immediately got excited. For someone of Lin Xue’s status, a scandal would be far more humiliating than a beating. If they could really capture videos or photos of Lin Xue with a man, her life would be ruined, at least in the Imperial City circles, she would become a perpetual subject of ridicule.
