Chapter 1975: Chapter 1971: Just Who Is He?
"Fuck! This is fucking ridiculous! Our job is to protect the safety of Saint Yale, but now we’ve become Tang Ming’s exclusive guard force. It’s a total rip-off!"
Henry gritted his teeth as he watched Tang Ming on the monitor, completely baffled by what had happened.
"Captain, if things get tough, just ignore that guy’s life or death. If he dies, it doesn’t seem to harm us at all; it might even be a relief."
Hei Gelun suggested viciously.
"You’re talking nonsense! A billion-dollar bounty—if we leave things unchecked and let assassins and mercenaries sneak into the school, what if there are spies from other countries among them?"
Henry glared at Hei Gelun, annoyed: "If the school becomes chaotic, our real target won’t be safe. If the situation gets out of control, we’re screwed."
"This..."
Hei Gelun’s face changed slightly, then he sighed helplessly: "Tang Ming sure is trouble; he stirred up such a mess the moment he arrived, like a bad omen."
"Enough nonsense. Immediately notify the police and intelligence departments: from now on, strictly screen all incoming and outgoing foreigners in York City. Arrest anyone suspicious right away; if they resist, kill them on the spot."
Henry shouted through gritted teeth.
"Yes!"
Hei Gelun nodded decisively and immediately went to arrange it.
In the next two days, York City became completely lively as assassins and mercenaries from all over the world flocked in for the billion-dollar bounty.
M Country intensified inspections and pursuits, leaving newly arrived assassins and mercenaries struggling.
Even so, within two days, countless people still tried various ways to sneak into Saint Yale University to find Tang Ming, naturally resulting in direct confrontation with Henry’s security staff.
Many assassins and mercenaries died within two days, and numerous official personnel responsible for Saint Yale’s security sacrificed themselves as well. Meanwhile, the entire York City was in chaos.
Henry was almost puking blood from anger; before Tang Ming came, they only had to deal with spies from various countries sneaking into Saint Yale, but now they had to face attacks from underground forces worldwide!
These people’s methods are far more diverse than official spies, completely disregarding any convention or rules.
This caused unprecedented damage to Henry’s security team.
What Henry couldn’t tolerate the most was Tang Ming, the instigator of all this, spending his days leisurely eating, sleeping, and flirting in the school, as if completely unaware of the storm outside.
Watching Tang Ming enjoying himself while he and his staff ran themselves ragged, Henry wished he could kill Tang Ming himself and earn that billion, but he couldn’t!
Tang Ming truly wasn’t aware of the situation outside, wandering around the school daily, hoping someone would come to kill him. But after two days without any commotion, he felt extremely disappointed.
If Tang Ming knew the current situation, he would laugh to death; it’s entirely a case of unintended consequences blooming.
Those responsible for Saint Yale University’s defense, like Henry and others, were overwhelmed by a mysterious astronomical bounty; the impact was far greater than the infiltration attempts by Dragon Group, Dark Group, and Ming Group.
"Oh, come on! Are all assassins and mercenaries scared now, indifferent to a billion-dollar bounty?"
Tang Ming sat on a public bench at school, looking around gloomily: "Forget the others, but even Left Hand is so calm? I’m right here in school; come out and kill me."
After waiting anxiously for two days, Tang Ming didn’t even get a sniff of action, making him feel extremely unsatisfied.
"Sigh! Forget it! Looks like I need to spend some time researching how to contact the Hua brothers instead?"
Tang Ming sighed helplessly; after adjusting for two days, he should probably focus on his task.
On the other hand, those closely observing Tang Ming, like the Yang Family and Li Family, were dumbfounded.
The Yang and Li family fathers and sons gathered again, sitting with grim faces, drinking tea by the coffee table.
"Yang brother, just what kind of person is Tang Ming? Why does it feel like the entire M country’s officialdom is protecting him?"
Li Yingjian spoke first, puzzled as he looked at Yang Hua: "Three days have passed! According to the word on the street, dozens of assassins and mercenaries have been dealt with by officials in York City, yet Tang Ming remains unscathed. This is too horrifying."
"I want to know what’s happening."
Yang Hua slammed the table hard, "The guy has some skills domestically but hasn’t heard of having such influence overseas. Assassins worldwide want him dead, yet he hasn’t lost a single hair. What’s going on?"
"The situation is indeed strange."
Li Wenmao nodded repeatedly, "I’ve contacted my sister to indirectly inquire; for the past two days, Tang Ming has been eating, drinking, and flirting in school, living comfortably, completely unfazed by the bounty. Too calm."
"Damn it! Can’t a billion dollars kill him?"
Yang Wei, whose face was pale, clenched his fists unwillingly.
"We mustn’t lose our heads; the bounty’s out there. I believe someone will kill Tang Ming eventually."
Yang Hua tried to stay calm, mainly not expecting it to be so difficult to kill Tang Ming.
"Yang brother, we should be thankful we didn’t personally attempt to kill Tang Ming before. Otherwise, judging by this trend, we might be wiped out before even entering Saint Yale University, right?"
Li Yingjian wiped his forehead, immensely relieved.
"Hmm!"
Yang Hua nodded, feeling quite grateful too. Worldwide assassins couldn’t touch Tang Ming; if the Yang and Li families had tried directly, their fate might have been dire.
These guys still didn’t realize that this mess was all their doing.
Families like Yang and Li, being overseas, lacked the qualification to understand the specifics of Saint Yale University. Naturally, they didn’t know that M Country officials weren’t just protecting Tang Ming but safeguarding Saint Yale University’s order and security.
With the bounty posted, the Li and Yang families could only wait for news. No matter what, they believed someone would eventually take out Tang Ming for that billion-dollar bounty.
The next morning, Tang Ming unusually woke up early to join Zhen Aiguo and others in leading the exchange group for academic and professional cultural dialogues with students and faculty from Lu University.
The so-called exchange was merely a debate among excellent students from both schools on various topics, presenting different theoretical views, unrelated to right or wrong, fully embracing the clash of ideas.
