Chapter 934: Chapter 934 The Anxious Lin Family

"For me?" Lin Xue hesitantly accepted the note and opened it to check.

"Officer Lin, you were previously affected by a hallucination-inducing poison. The laboratory we’re in is filled with toxic gas, so please do not leave this room. I’ve left Little Red to help detoxify you and purify the air in the room. Stay inside with Little Red and play safely. I’ll find a way to leave this place and will come back for you when the time is right."

Reading Tang Ming’s note, Lin Xue cried tears of joy, "He’s not dead; it was all an illusion. I didn’t kill him. This is wonderful, absolutely wonderful."

However, Lin Xue soon turned bashful...

Late at night, Su Xiaoxi, back at the Su Family residence, frantically dialed Tang Ming’s phone, only to find it out of service.

"Where on earth has that idiot gone? How is he out of service? Did he go to the Moon?"

Su Xiaoxi almost threw her phone in anger.

"Xiaoxi, why didn’t Tang Xin come back with you?"

Amidst Su Xiaoxi’s frustration, the voice of the old master of the Su Family suddenly came from outside the door.

"Grandpa."

Su Xiaoxi’s expression changed slightly. She quickly got up to open the door and looked apologetically at the old master: "Tang Xin met a friend and might not come back tonight."

"Ah? That makes sense. As the Group Leader of the Dark Group Inspection Team, with its headquarters in the Imperial City, it’s only natural for him to visit friends there."

The old master paused for a moment but quickly reacted.

"Hehe, probably."

Su Xiaoxi awkwardly smiled, "Grandpa, why don’t you come in and sit for a while?"

"No need, the girl has grown up now. I should avoid your boudoir to prevent Tang Xin from getting displeased if he finds out."

The old master shook his head and said with a small smile, "It’s his first day at the Su Family, and he’s not spending the night at home. This old man’s heart feels a bit discomposed."

"Don’t mind him, Grandpa. He’s always been elusive. You’ll get used to it."

Su Xiaoxi awkwardly explained on Tang Ming’s behalf.

"I understand, special jobs have special requirements."

The old master laughed heartily, squinting his eyes as he said, "Today was his first visit, and I didn’t get to talk to him about important matters. I’ll have to wait until tomorrow."

"Yes, right."

Su Xiaoxi nodded, knowing the old master’s true purpose for finding Tang Ming, but now the matters weren’t discussed, and Tang Ming has vanished. What a mess.

"Since Tang Xin isn’t here, Xiaoxi, you should go to bed early. It’s only when young people are apart that they can get proper rest. Don’t wear yourself out."

The old master thought for a while and realized it was inappropriate to stand outside his granddaughter’s door late at night. He gave a brief reminder and then left.

"Sigh, that jerk really can’t give anyone peace of mind." Su Xiaoxi sighed helplessly. Did that guy rescue Lin Xue and the two ran off for a tryst?

With this thought, Su Xiaoxi found it increasingly plausible.

Lin Xue’s clothes were stripped; if Tang Ming rescued her, this classic hero-saving-damsel scenario—someone even like herself would be willing to repay with her life. Even if they didn’t do it, she would want Tang Ming to stay by her side tonight.

"Oh well, let’s see if he contacts me tomorrow."

Su Xiaoxi sighed, thinking these are Tang Ming’s private matters. She had no right to interfere as long as it didn’t disrupt the Su Family’s important matters.

Putting the phone down and no longer calling Tang Ming, Su Xiaoxi went to clean up and got into bed. Yet, she tossed and turned, unable to sleep, especially with the thought of Tang Ming and Lin Xue possibly doing something indecent. It made her increasingly uncomfortable.

No matter what, Tang Ming is nominally her fiancé, and now he could possibly be messing around with another woman, which would make anyone feel uneasy.

"Ugh, it’s so irritating."

Su Xiaoxi buried her head in the pillow, frustratedly shouting, then tried to force herself to rest.

The night passed without further words. The next morning, Su Xiaoxi got up late with dark circles under her eyes. It was primarily because she fell asleep very late last night, causing her to wake up late.

One look at the phone showed it was already eleven in the morning, yet there wasn’t a single call from Tang Ming. This was too much.

Dialing Tang Ming’s number only met with the same out-of-service message.

"Could something have happened?"

Su Xiaoxi started to worry. Although last night’s situation was dangerous, she had great faith in Tang Ming’s abilities. But with no news even after a night, she began to feel uneasy.

Thinking that the person opposing Tang Ming could be Fu Renjie, Su Xiaoxi couldn’t stay calm. Although Tang Ming was exceptionally powerful, he might not be able to defeat Fu Renjie in the Imperial City.

Despite realizing Tang Ming could be in trouble, she didn’t know what to do at that moment.

Search the Dark Group? It seemed Tang Ming was already a senior figure in the Dark Group, the highest-ranking official she could reach.

Consult her grandfather? Although the Su Family was a major family in the Imperial City, it couldn’t directly meddle in Ming Group’s affairs. If the Su Family got involved, it might escalate into a conflict among prominent families. Without confirming Tang Ming’s predicament, the Su Family couldn’t get embroiled in this mess.

Go to the Lin Family. After analyzing, Su Xiaoxi knew whom she should contact.

Tang Ming had disappeared in the act of rescuing Lin Xue. If he really encountered danger, Lin Xue would also likely be in peril. Just asking the Lin Family about Lin Xue’s situation could essentially determine Tang Ming’s status.

Su Xiaoxi immediately called Lin Canghai and detailed the entire situation to him.

Lin Canghai nearly jumped up listening to Su Xiaoxi.

Su Xiaoxi hadn’t yet grasped the gravity of the situation, but as a senior figure in the Dark Group, Lin Canghai fully understood the terrifying implications of a conflict between Fu Renjie and Tang Ming.

Tang Ming, as the Group Leader of the Dark Group Martial Arts Inspection Team, had repeatedly caused the Ming Group losses, marking him as a high-priority target on Ming Group’s blacklist. Now that there’s a chance to deal with Tang Ming, the Ming Group would pour its full efforts into eliminating this persistent thorn. This was certainly a situation beyond Tang Ming’s singular capacity to handle.

Lin Canghai didn’t disclose the seriousness of the situation to Su Xiaoxi but assured that he would locate Tang Ming as soon as possible. After hanging up, he promptly reported the situation to Dark Group’s top-level and the Lin Family.

Locating Tang Ming had to happen quickly; it was not only about the Dark Group’s interests but also a matter of his sister Lin Xue’s safety.

Upon receiving the report, the Dark Group’s high-level officials immediately dispatched personnel to Lin Canghai, instructing him to determine Tang Ming’s whereabouts at all costs.

Simultaneously, the Lin Family sent top experts tasked with finding Lin Xue. How could the Lin Family allow their woman to be abducted?

Soon, the situation among martial arts families in the Imperial City began to stir. By noon, Lin Canghai, accompanied by a large force, stormed into Ming Group’s headquarters to demand Tang Ming.
