My Co-renting Lady Boss-Chapter 1587 - 1586: All an Act

"Rest assured, there’s definitely a surprise. If you’re scared, just go back to your room, but be careful, there might be a corpse in your bed too."

Tang Ming mischievously glanced at Mu Zixin and Ma Jiaran.

Upon hearing this, Mu Zixin and Ma Jiaran shivered, quickly joined the group, and dared not return to their rooms.

"What on earth are you up to?"

Liu Mengting asked Tang Ming in confusion, unsure of what was happening.

"It’s time to reveal the truth."

Tang Ming tidied up his clothes and strode into Chen Cang and the others’ room.

The group hurried in behind him, especially Meng Xianjun, who was curious about what was happening inside. Even though he knew everything was fake, he hadn’t noticed anything unusual at the time, which puzzled him greatly.

Inside the room, Chen Cang and Hua Yingjie lay in a pitiful state. Liu Mengting and Li Xiaoli, looking at Chen Cang’s half body, couldn’t help but start wiping tears.

"Why are you crying? I already said Chen Cang isn’t dead."

Tang Ming glanced at the two women, then lifted his leg and kicked Chen Cang: "Stop pretending, the performance is over."

"Is it over?"

Upon hearing this, Chen Cang opened his eyes abruptly, propped up his body, and looked around.

"Ah, a zombie!"

Seeing Chen Cang sitting up with half his body, several girls screamed.

Even Wu Xiaoxia and Lu Xiaolu’s faces turned pale; the scene was too hard to digest.

"Finally it’s over, I’m exhausted."

Hua Yingjie sat up too, flexing his joints with an unsatisfied expression.

"What... what exactly is going on?"

Liu Mengting stammered as she questioned Tang Ming.

"It’s all fake, just a surprise."

Tang Ming smiled and then directed staff to lift the mattress that Chen Cang was on.

Only then did everyone see the bed was custom-made, with a hollow underneath. Chen Cang’s upper body was exposed while his waist and legs lay inside the bed. Additionally, his waist had been smeared with a lot of artificial blood, making it look from the outside like only his upper body remained.

"Hope you enjoyed my corpse act."

Chen Cang stood up completely, proudly looking at Liu Mengting and the others.

"You actually tricked us, huh?"

Li Xiaoli glared angrily.

"So Hua Yingjie was fake too?"

Liu Mengting looked uncertainly at Hua Yingjie.

"Yes, mine was simpler than Chen Cang’s."

Hua Yingjie chuckled, stood up directly. The bed and blanket had been dug out with a hole, allowing him to squat below with only his upper body exposed.

"You’re really too much, pulling such a prank."

Mu Zixin and the others, realizing they had been tricked, felt rather upset.

"Haha, my prank was top-notch, wasn’t it?"

Tang Ming proudly looked at Li Xiaoli, "You all have pranked me before, it’s rare for me to get back at you guys, it’s satisfying!"

"Humph, childish."

Liu Mengting snorted coldly.

"Hey, so are these legs fake too?"

Li Xiaoli curiously walked over to the wall, reaching to feel the legs on the ground.

"No! Those legs are real, living human legs."

Tang Ming casually explained.

"What?"

Li Xiaoli jumped in shock, quickly stood back up.

"You, you chopped off someone’s legs? That’s too gruesome."

Liu Mengting stared at Tang Ming in horror.

The other girls were all frightened too.

"I said they’re living human legs, not chopped off."

Tang Ming blinked and kicked those legs: "Hey buddy, can you move?"

Just as the words fell, the legs started moving.

"This..."

Everyone was dumbfounded.

"Next door is Mo Hongsheng’s room, so are these legs Mo Hongsheng’s?"

Lu Xiaolu realized, shouting uncertainly.

"Smart. Mo Hongsheng isn’t dead either."

Tang Ming chuckled, then led the group over to Mo Hongsheng’s room.

"Is your trick over? Lying here is exhausting."

Seeing Tang Ming enter, Mo Hongsheng complained discontentedly.

"A speaking head?"

Everyone was bewildered. The Zhao brothers were once frightened out of their wits by this scene, it was terrifying.

"Alright alright, I’ll get you out now."

Tang Ming nodded repeatedly, then joined the crew in dismantling the bed.

It turned out Mo Hongsheng had the most complex setup; only his head was exposed, his body wedged into the bed, while his legs extended through the wall into another room.

Mo Hongsheng played a dead head in this room, while pretending to be dead legs in the next, definitely the main act!

"Finally it’s over, I’m getting numb."

After being pulled out, Mo Hongsheng complained while rushing to the bathroom: "Get out, I need to use the toilet, I’m about to burst."

"Let’s leave, pack up our stuff, and switch rooms. It’s not habitable like this anymore."

Tang Ming grinned and gestured for everyone to exit the room.

"Tang Ming, you really are sly. You had me thoroughly fooled."

Meng Xianjun gritted his teeth eyeing Tang Ming, having initially thought Tang Ming killed a few people to deceive him, only to find out they were all acting.

"Keep it low-key, if I didn’t make it tense, you wouldn’t have fallen for it so easily."

Tang Ming grinned cheekily at Meng Xianjun, showing no remorse.

"When did you plan this trickery? It doesn’t look like something you could throw together at the last minute."

Meng Xianjun discontentedly eyed Tang Ming.

"Hehe, since I found you were interested in Lu Xiaolu, I’ve been preparing this scheme for you."

Tang Ming chuckled, reminiscing as he looked at Meng Xianjun: "I’ve studied you for a long time and found Lu Xiaolu was your only weakness. I planned to target her, but couldn’t do so suddenly, hence this grand performance."

"Humph, you scoundrel, deceiving us so badly, it’s truly awful."

Li Xiaoli angrily cursed.

"Indeed, it’s outrageous. You have to compensate us for the psychological damage."

Liu Mengting and the others also launched complaints at Tang Ming.

"Settle down, settle down, I admit today’s event was my fault, it’ll never happen again. To express my regret, all expenses for this vacation are on me."

Tang Ming smiled, waved, and declared grandly: "Including the last day of the holiday, all your shopping expenses are covered by me; is that enough?"

"Haha, that’s more like it!"

Upon hearing this, Li Xiaoli instantly cheered.

Liu Junmei, the Ma Family, and Lu Xiaolu also rejoiced, only Mu Zixin remained unimpressed as she didn’t care about the money, just feeling deeply annoyed.

As everyone went back to pack, Meng Xianjun stayed beside Tang Ming: "Brother, something’s off! I didn’t sense they were pretending to be dead; with my skills, I can detect life force and aura in a body, so why didn’t I notice any flaws?"
