My Co-renting Lady Boss-Chapter 1719 - 1718: Despicable Hints (Part 2)

"Cough cough, Mr. Liu, according to our investigation, not far from the scene where the two Zhao brothers met their end, a Nine-star Peak Martial Master was killed, leaving no remains."

Fu Tianyou awkwardly looked at Liu Zhenan and took a package from his subordinate: "These are the belongings of the deceased; see if you recognize them."

"Hmm?"

Liu Zhenan was puzzled and quickly opened the package, taking out a black metal round badge with the word "East" on it.

"This belongs to my third brother."

Liu Zhenan widened his eyes, quickly pulling out another badge of the same material with the word "South" from his bosom.

"Ah, so it seems the murdered expert should be someone from the Liu Family."

Fu Tianyou sighed helplessly.

"Bastard! Where is my third brother’s body?"

Liu Zhenan yelled with wide eyes.

"Sorry! When we arrived, all we found were these belongings. Based on the site investigation, that expert has been turned to ashes, not even a speck left."

Fu Tianyou sighed again.

"I... who exactly did it?"

Liu Zhenan shouted in grief and anger.

"Hehe, not a trace left, how tragic."

Zhao Chui sneered eerily, tossing the document to Fu Tianyou: "I don’t believe my two sons are those kinds of depraved people; there must be more to this story. You must give me an explanation."

"That’s right! My third brother can’t just die without reason."

Liu Zhenan, disregarding any quarrel with Zhao Chui, aggressively stared at Fu Tianyou.

"We can discuss this back in my office, but I can only tell you what I know, as I truly have no evidence."

Fu Tianyou sighed, turned, and walked out, a slight smile appearing at the corners of his mouth.

After returning to the office, Fu Tianyou narrated the whole incident, concluding finally: "I can only say Tang Ming was at the scene of the incident, but there is no evidence linking Tang Ming to everything that happened. Logically speaking, the deceased had no grudges with Tang Ming, and Tang Ming had no reason to kill them."

"Tang Ming?"

Zhao Chui and Liu Zhenan murmured at the same time. Fu Tianyou’s words were full of concealment, but they knew in their hearts that this incident certainly had something to do with Tang Ming.

Why did Liu Zhendong come to the Imperial City? It was to avenge Liu Xing and Liu Chen, and Tang Ming was the one who crippled Liu Xing and Liu Chen. Now that Liu Zhendong is dead, it’s not hard to guess that it was Tang Ming’s doing.

Zhao Chui had the same thought; before taking action, the Zhao Family brothers had reported the enmity between Zhao Yan and Tang Ming to the family. At that time, the Family Head thought they were just dealing with a student and didn’t pay much attention, but after the disappearance of the Zhao Family brothers, they realized the seriousness of the situation.

"That’s how things stand; I’ve explained everything that needs to be explained. You two can take the deceased’s remains and belongings and leave."

Fu Tianyou earnestly reminded: "Make sure you don’t think about provoking Tang Ming. On one hand, it’s because there’s no evidence; on the other, it’s because Tang Ming is from the Heavenly Mechanism Sect—a force you cannot afford to offend!"

"Hmph!"

Zhao Chui and Liu Zhenan snorted coldly, didn’t say anything more, and stormed out of the office.

Zhao Chui went to cremate his son’s body, while Liu Zhenan went to retrieve the belongings.

As soon as the two left, Fu Tianyou immediately called Wu Tian: "Sir, I have handled the matter as you instructed."

"How did those two react?"

Wu Tian asked promptly.

"They looked very anguished but didn’t say much."

Fu Tianyou frowned, worriedly asking, "Do you think they will seek revenge on Tang Ming?"

"A revenge for killing their son, a hatred for killing their brother—if they could bear that, they’d disgrace the Hidden Force."

Wu Tian sneered coldly, "Previously, they knew about the junior’s grudge with Tang Ming, but after finding out Tang Ming was from the Heavenly Mechanism Sect, they were ready to give up revenge. Now that we’ve revealed the cause of the Zhao Family brothers and Liu Zhendong’s death, they shouldn’t let it go."

"I hope they go seek revenge on Tang Ming! Two Half-step Martial General experts acting together—even if Tang Ming has cultivated the Heavenly Mechanism Hundred Changes, he shouldn’t be able to withstand it, right?"

Fu Tianyou murmured with anticipation.

"That depends on their decision. Zhao Chui is known as ’Break the Sky’ in Jianghu, renowned for his audacity, fighting anyone anywhere, and Liu Zhenan, known as ’Iron Chain Crossing River’, notoriously domineering. If the two truly join forces against Tang Ming, Tang Ming is doomed."

Wu Tian analyzed with confidence.

"Great! With that, I’m relieved."

Fu Tianyou breathed a sigh of relief; the stronger Tang Ming got, the more uneasy he felt. If someone could actually take Tang Ming down, all the better for everyone.

In the afternoon, Zhao Chui, holding two urns of ashes, and Liu Zhenan, carrying a package of belongings, sat in a private room at a teahouse near Imperial University, both filled with grief. The grudge of killing brothers, the pain of losing children, truly shared in their misery!

"Brother Liu, what do you plan to do?"

Zhao Chui asked Liu Zhenan with a grim face.

"And you?"

Liu Zhenan did not reply, looking out towards Imperial University: "Although Tang Ming defeated Sakai Ryuuichi, he is merely a Nine-star Peak Martial Master, not worth factoring in. The issue is..."

"The issue is that he is backed by the Heavenly Mechanism Sect."

Zhao Chui continued, gritting his teeth: "Previously, considering the Heavenly Mechanism Sect’s reputation, I planned not to pursue the grudges between him and the juniors. But now, both of my sons died at his hands, and even if he is with the Heavenly Mechanism Sect, I must avenge them."

"I think the same; both of my sons had their cultivation crippled by him, and now my third brother has tragically met the Poison Hand—even if he is part of the Heavenly Mechanism Sect, I can’t swallow this anger."

Liu Zhenan gritted his teeth as he spoke.

"Good! Since that’s the case, let us join forces, kill Tang Ming, and then keep it a secret together. How about it?"

Fierce light flashed in Zhao Chui’s eyes.

"Great minds think alike; if we’re discreet enough, even the Heavenly Mechanism Sect won’t know it was us."

Liu Zhenan nodded, "Today, let’s take a blood oath and vow to eliminate this villain together."

As soon as he finished, Liu Zhenan dripped a few drops of blood into a teacup.

"Heaven knows, earth knows, you know, I know—if violated, let lightning strike."

Zhao Chui unhesitatingly added his own blood to the cup, and the two swore and drank the bloody tea.

"The school isn’t the right place to act. We should investigate thoroughly and then find an opportunity to eliminate him."

After forming the alliance, Liu Zhenan again looked towards the direction of Imperial University.

Tang Ming cleans the villa a bit and stays there to take care of Su Xiaoxi, unaware that two Half-step Martial General experts are planning to target him, otherwise he would surely be frightened.

Though he is confident, even with the Huaxia Secret Technique, facing two Half-step Martial Generals is rather ominous, especially after experiencing the battle between Tianye Yingzi and Zhuge Qing. He understands even more the gap between himself and Martial General experts.
