My Co-renting Lady Boss-Chapter 1644 - 1643: Admitting One’s Mistake

"Who are these people?"

Seeing Tang Ming’s roommates all rush to get ready as soon as they heard there was money to be made, Du Kai looked bewildered.

Ten minutes later, Tang Ming and his three friends finished getting ready and followed Du Kai out of the school.

The group arrived at the Academy Hotel, and on the way, Shao Wuyou and the others learned about the situation. They were puzzled because Tang Ming was definitely drunk with them the previous night, so how did Sun Peng and the others end up in Western Heaven?

Arriving at the hotel entrance, they saw a group of somber-faced men in black had surrounded the inside and outside of the hotel.

"Brothers, are we really here to make money? Why does it look like we’re heading into a trap?"

Shao Wuyou asked Tang Ming worriedly.

"I’m not sure either, but to Old Meng, these people are nothing; no matter how many, they’re just trash."

Tang Ming sneered dismissively.

"You all are experts; I’m just a martial artist. If so many come at me at once, I’ll be cut to death."

Hua Yingjie swallowed hard and nervously asked Du Kai, "What’s really going on?"

"Don’t worry, these are the bodyguards hired by Huang De; they’re not here to deal with you."

Du Kai smiled confidently, "With my guarantee, Huang De definitely won’t trouble you."

"Does he have the ability?"

Tang Ming smiled disdainfully, "Guys, how much do you think we should charge that guy this time?"

"A hundred million, not a penny less."

Meng Xianjun said fiercely.

"No way! How do we split a hundred million among the four of us? It should be at least four hundred million."

Shao Wuyou was even harsher.

"Haha, let’s discuss this inside."

Du Kai laughed awkwardly, genuinely pitying Huang De; it seemed he’d have to bleed considerably to save his precious life this time.

Inside the hotel’s best suite, the pale-faced Huang De stood surrounded by four bodyguards, clutching a silver handgun tightly.

Just last night, he and Sun Peng issued a bounty to hunt down Tang Ming, but today he heard Sun Peng and the others were all killed. It was too incredible.

The reward clients’ details on the website are strictly confidential, known only to the Assassin Organization, and only Sun Peng’s details were shared. How did the others die?

The more he thought, the more frightened Huang De became, as he was involved in the matter too.

He learned from the involved personnel that Sun Peng was the first to be killed, and was tortured beyond recognition, likely due to severe interrogation to identify all involved personnel. So he’s certain he’s on the hit list too, thus he hired many bodyguards and pleaded with Du Kai to mediate.

Huang De was now a terrified bird, terribly scared.

When Tang Ming and the others entered the suite, Huang De instinctively raised his gun.

"Hey, what are you doing?"

Tang Ming frowned slightly, shielding Hua Yingjie behind him, "That thing in your hand is just scrap metal to us. Are you thinking of dying by my hand?"

"Put the gun down."

Du Kai quickly scolded.

"Sorry, I didn’t mean to."

Huang De hurriedly put down the gun, looking at Tang Ming in terror, "I know I was wrong, can you spare my life?"

"Haha, seems there’s a feast today."

Tang Ming glanced at the table full of food, "Sit down and talk."

"Sleeping till noon, I’m actually quite hungry."

Shao Wuyou and Meng Xianjun didn’t hesitate, immediately sitting down to feast.

Hua Yingjie looked at the armored bodyguards and was a bit tense, sitting honestly beside Tang Ming.

"Hey, we’re all friends; if there’s any grievance, we should sit down and talk. No need to draw weapons."

Du Kai sighed, sitting between the two groups.

Tang Ming immediately started eating, ignoring Du Kai and Huang De.

"Tang Ming, what will it take for you to let me go?"

Seeing this, Huang De panicked; he had never faced such a situation before.

"Firstly, I never ordered anyone against you. Though I made quite a bit from you the last time, I never considered you as enemies."

Tang Ming raised his head, smiling, "Secondly, you put a bounty on me. I’m very aggrieved."

"I, I know I was wrong. Now I just beg you to spare my life, isn’t that possible?"

Huang De looked at Tang Ming miserably, had he known this guy was so strange, he wouldn’t have provoked him for anything.

"No, no, no. It’s not about sparing your life; I have a way to resolve this. This must be clarified, because I’m not the one targeting you."

Tang Ming laughed and shook his head, sorting out the logic of the matter.

"Alright, alright, whatever you say."

Huang De nodded repeatedly.

"Haha, weren’t you very arrogant before? Didn’t you think money was everything?"

Tang Ming coldly laughed, disdainfully looking at Huang De, "The vacation resort incident was a small matter that got blown up only because of Sun Peng. You enjoyed fooling around with women, so why did you intervene?"

"I..."

Huang De was tongue-tied, that day Sun Peng and the others suffered losses, yet he enjoyed himself purely out of vanity and superiority, theoretically with no significant grievance.

"Cough, cough, past matters are past, let them be."

Du Kai quickly interjected to mediate, "We’re acquainted now, let’s focus on the current issue."

"Apologize."

Tang Ming put down his utensils, firmly looking at Huang De, "Have him apologize to me."

"Why should I? You conned so much money out of me and now want to kill me, why should I apologize?"

Huang De roared, his face flushed red.

"Because you put a bounty on my head, is that okay?"

Tang Ming snorted coldly, "Forget it, it seems there’s nothing to talk about. Better prepare a coffin."

"No, no, let’s talk it out."

Du Kai quickly restrained Tang Ming, glancing at Huang De disapprovingly, "The issue is essentially your fault. I already told you not to touch Tang Ming, but you still issued a bounty. Don’t you owe an apology?"

"I..."

"Is face more important or life?"

Du Kai scolded in frustration.

"I know I was wrong, I’m sorry. Everything in the past was my fault."

Du Kai gritted his teeth, standing up and bowing respectfully to Tang Ming.

"Haha..."

Tang Ming laughed, looking at Shao Wuyou and the others, "See? That’s what wealth does."

"Yeah, yeah, wealthy indeed."

Shao Wuyou and the others nodded repeatedly, making such an arrogant guy bow was truly satisfying.

"Tang Ming, that’s enough. Let’s just get to the point." 𝐟𝕣𝗲𝕖𝕨𝗲𝐛𝗻𝗼𝐯𝗲𝚕.𝗰𝚘𝐦
