Murano Momo is a cunning doctor

Chapter 1182 Public Toilets

Tang Ran quickly caught up with Jiang Xiaochuan, frowning as she asked, "Why go back to that shop? Weren't you looking for Tang Long?"

Jiang Xiaochuan rolled his eyes. Seeing that she really didn't understand, he had no choice but to patiently explain:

"You haven't paid for your clothes yet. Are you trying to skip out on the bill? Or did you forget your outfit in the store?"

As soon as she said that, Tang Ran's cheeks flushed red.

She then realized that she was still wearing the clothes that Jiang Xiaochuan had just chosen for her.

The outfit that could conceal more than a dozen poisoned hidden weapons was still lying forlornly on a hook in the clothing store's fitting room.

Instantly, her aura weakened considerably, and she lost her previous assertiveness even when she looked Jiang Xiaochuan in the eye.

How could I have forgotten something so important?

"Even people from the Flame Journey can make mistakes? I thought you were always so calm."

Seeing her flustered appearance, Jiang Xiaochuan's displeasure subsided considerably, and he couldn't help but tease her.

Tang Ran glared at him, said nothing, but quickened her pace toward the clothing store.

All she wanted to do now was get her outfit back as soon as possible, otherwise she felt empty and a little panicked.

Ten minutes later, the two returned to the central area of ​​the mall.

Sunlight streamed down from the huge glass dome, promotional announcements from various shops rose and fell, and the sounds of customers chatting and laughing, mixed with the aroma of milk tea, created a lively atmosphere.

But no one knew that the scene inside the men's restroom in this bustling corner was quite different.

Inside the restroom, Zhao Qiankun was furtively knocking three times rhythmically on the door of the innermost stall.

Soon, the cubicle door opened a crack from the inside.

Tang Long stepped out, his eyes revealing a panicked look, like a frightened bird.

If others saw this, they would definitely be shocked.

This once-powerful "Dragon Lord" was now cowering in a public toilet filled with foul odors.

"Boss, they've already left."

Zhao Qiankun lowered his voice, somewhat relieved, "It seems that they didn't find this area at all."

Tang Long finally let out a long sigh of relief, his shoulders slumped, and he looked completely exhausted.

He quickly and carefully put the emerald green bead he had been clutching tightly into his inner pocket.

This bead is a "Concealing Breath Bead" that can hide one's aura.

In addition, the place was bustling with people and filled with a murky atmosphere; otherwise, he would have been discovered long ago.

"Boss, we need to think of something. That scene just now was terrifying."

Zhao Qiankun suggested with a worried expression that if he were caught tipping someone off, his account would probably be shut down on the spot.

"You think I want to hide?!"

Tang Long reprimanded him in a low voice, looking aggrieved.

In fact, even he didn't know why the Huangfu family and the Situ family would suddenly join forces to arrest him.

The day after he was expelled from the Jiang family, someone came looking for him.

Without the protection of the Jiang family, he dared not confront them directly and simply went into hiding.

Although he didn't know why the other party was looking for him, given what he had done over the years, no matter who caught him, he wouldn't have a good outcome.

"Keep finding out why those old bastards arrested me!"

Tang Long gritted his teeth.

As he spoke, he glanced disgustedly at the cubicle behind him, his stomach churning.

In his entire life, even if he hadn't reached the top, Tang Long had never been in such a sorry state, and now he actually had to treat this place as a "safe house".

What he found even more unacceptable was that men and women would occasionally sneak into the next room and do something provocative, which made him furious.

"Boss..."

Just as Tang Long was filled with sorrow and felt suffocated, Zhao Qiankun spoke again hesitantly:

"I'm afraid no one is helping us gather information anymore. Several managers at the boxing ring have contacted me several times, saying that if no one is backing us up, the resident staff will have to leave..."

"Those ungrateful bastards!!"

Tang Long's temper flared instantly. He had single-handedly built up the boxing ring, and now that he was only hiding for a few days, someone actually wanted to sabotage him!

"Mr. Tang, you're so angry. Be careful not to hurt yourself."

Just as Tang Long was on the verge of exploding in rage, a voice came from the bathroom doorway.

Jiang Xiaochuan strolled in slowly, and as soon as he stepped in, he snorted, his tone full of sarcasm: "This place smells pretty strong. Boss Tang certainly knows how to find a hiding place."

When Tang Long saw Jiang Xiaochuan, his body stiffened abruptly, and he subconsciously shrank back into the cubicle. Then, anger ignited in his eyes. His current predicament was largely due to the man in front of him.

"It's you?!"

Realizing what had happened, Tang Long took a half-step back warily and asked sharply, "How did you find me?"

"It's really hard to find."

Jiang Xiaochuan shrugged. "Your voice is loud enough to be heard even three cubicles away. I can just follow the sound to find you."

Tang Long snorted coldly, knowing that Jiang Xiaochuan was definitely not telling the truth, but running into him at this time would definitely not end well.

Since Jiang Xiaochuan didn't want to talk, he was too lazy to pester him and decided to leave.

I advise you not to go out.

Jiang Xiaochuan slowly added a sentence behind him.

Tang Long didn't stop. He had just rushed to the toilet door when he was met with a cold gaze.

Tang Ran stood at the door, arms crossed, blocking the way like an iceberg.

"who are you?"

Tang Long stared at Tang Ran, his heart skipped a beat—this woman was beautiful, but the dangerous aura she exuded was even more frightening than Jiang Xiaochuan's.

Anyone who can get along with Jiang Xiaochuan is definitely not a good person.

"Yan Lv, Tang Ran."

Tang Ran cut to the chase, "Tang Long, tell me the secrets you know. Tell me now, and Yan Lü might save your life."

"Yan Lü?!"

Tang Long's face turned pale instantly, and his legs felt weak.

He had only heard of this organization in rumors within the martial arts circle. It was supposed to be responsible for the chaotic situation in the martial arts world that even the major families dared not touch. How come even the Yan Brigade had approached him?

Tang Long's mind instantly became a jumbled mess: What secret did he know that made Yan Lü and the two major families keep an eye on him?

A few seconds later, a sudden inspiration struck him—it must be the conversation he had overheard between Jiang Zhenyue and Elder Jin!

Jiang Xiaochuan saw all the changes in Tang Long's expression and a knowing smile appeared on his lips.

It seems that Tang Long not only has a secret, but this secret is also quite significant.

"explain."

Tang Ran took half a step forward, exuding an imposing aura, "What exactly do you know?"

Tang Long snapped back to his senses, gritted his teeth, and a fierce glint flashed in his eyes.

Jiang Xiaochuan is still here. If I reveal the secret, it will only benefit the person who caused my downfall. That would be worse than killing him!

Moreover, although he didn't know how the secret had been leaked, Tang Long still held onto a sliver of hope.

As long as he remained steadfast in his denial, Jiang Zhenyue might help him fend off the Crimson Blood Sect's pursuit out of consideration for their past relationship.

But if it were to leak out of his mouth, not only the Crimson Blood Sect, but the Jiang family would be the first to not let him off the hook!
