My Co-renting Lady Boss-Chapter 812 - 0: The Clash Between Two Groups

"Oh, oh, oh, that’s the best." 𝙛𝓻𝒆𝒆𝒘𝙚𝓫𝙣𝙤𝒗𝙚𝓵.𝙘𝙤𝙢

Xin Badao nodded repeatedly. Actually, he too was very reluctant to attend the Martial Arts Conference. Although he knew the strength of the Martial Arts Alliance was not weak, these pure sect forces looked down on the members of the Martial Arts Alliance from the bottom of their hearts, thinking that the so-called Martial Arts Alliance was just a rabble. Being asked to attend the Martial Arts Conference would lower their status.

Seeing Xin Badao’s happy expression after hearing they didn’t have to attend the Martial Arts Conference, Tang Ming was speechless.

"If we don’t go, how will we ensure Poison Boss’s safety?"

After the initial happiness, Xin Badao frowned worriedly.

"Don’t worry, this time I’ll be attending the Martial Arts Conference as Tang Xin together with Su Xiaoxi. I don’t need to hide my cultivation. Whoever dares to provoke me, I’ll just deal with them. You don’t need to protect me."

Tang Ming smiled indifferently and instructed, "You and Chu Batian just need to properly protect Liu Mengting and the other two. Make sure they don’t get hurt."

"Poison Boss, rest assured, we will definitely protect the three ladies."

Xin Badao solemnly promised.

"Good, you’re done here, you can go back now."

Tang Ming nodded, contemplating asking Lin Canghai about the situation with the Ming Group.

After Xin Badao left, Tang Ming immediately called Lin Canghai.

"Cough! Tang Xin, you actually took the initiative to call me. Has the sun risen from the west today?"

Once the call connected, Lin Canghai’s surprised voice rang out.

"Enough with the useless talk. I wouldn’t call you if I didn’t need something."

Tang Ming responded irritably.

"What happened? I’ve heard you’ve announced your position as the leader of the Martial Arts Inspection Team. Wu Xiaoyu has been protesting and investigating a lot these past two days."

Lin Canghai couldn’t help but laugh. He didn’t expect that the prank he pulled by putting the name "Tang Xin" on Tang Ming’s ID would cause so much trouble. But thinking of Wu Xiaoyu angrily demanding an explanation, he couldn’t help but laugh again.

"It’s not about that. I want to ask you what the Ming Group is all about?"

Tang Ming rolled his eyes. He had already argued with Lin Canghai about the name and didn’t want to bother with it now.

"The Ming Group? How do you know about that organization?"

Lin Canghai was taken aback, his tone becoming serious.

"I have to attend the Martial Arts Conference. I heard from Xin Badao that the Ming Group is supporting the conference, so I want to know more about it to be prepared."

Tang Ming responded honestly without hiding anything.

"Oh, I see. I really need to tell you what the Ming Group is all about!"

After a moment of silence, Lin Canghai started to explain the Ming Group’s situation to Tang Ming.

The Ming Group and the Dark Group were two departments created by the highest military department to manage the national martial arts forces. At the beginning of the country’s founding, they made outstanding contributions to national construction and social development.

Initially, the Ming Group and the Dark Group’s mission was to serve the nation. The two complemented each other, one bright, one dark, cooperating happily. But as time went on, their development paths diverged.

Especially after social stability, during the country’s rapid economic growth, the development directions of the two organizations diverged completely.

The backing of the Ming Group is from the aggressive faction advocating for economic development, while the Dark Group’s backing prioritizes social stability. Therefore, the Ming Group became focused on making money, while the Dark Group stuck to its original mission of managing martial arts forces and maintaining social stability.

After many years of development, society stabilized, and war and turmoil became history. Even the upper levels of the military department experienced differences. In times of peace, some people’s greed began to swell, putting personal gain above national interests. This turned the Ming Group into a tool for certain exists’ personal gain.

The Ming Group, which rose during the wave of reform and opening up, specifically served certain elite family forces and power holders, becoming a private tool for these people. These people held considerable influence, creating a vicious cycle similar to the army-business alliance.

The Dark Group, however, always adhered to its founding mission, existing as a national blade in Huaxia. Not only balancing domestic martial arts forces but also frequently dealing with international forces. This is why Tang Ming knew about the Dark Group but not the Ming Group.

Because these wealthy groups wouldn’t take risks internationally.

"Damn it, an official organization like the Ming Group has turned into such pests. Don’t the higher-ups manage them?"

Hearing this, Tang Ming couldn’t help but get angry. This was a typical case of abusing public office for personal gain.

"If there wasn’t someone backing them up, the Ming Group would have been disbanded long ago."

Lin Canghai smiled bitterly and said helplessly, "The Ming Group’s money-making ability has become the main channel for certain individuals’ profits. How could they give up such a cash cow?"

"Well, I don’t like getting involved with official forces because of this chaos."

Tang Ming curled his lips and complained, "All because you tricked me into the Dark Group. It’s frustrating."

"Cough, cough, don’t say that. Every dynasty has its share of corrupt officials. At least our Dark Group truly fights for national and people’s interests."

Lin Canghai laughed awkwardly.

"Bullshit, I heard the martial arts affairs handled by the Ming Group can’t be interfered with by the Dark Group. Doesn’t that mean the Ming Group is doing better than the Dark Group?"

Tang Ming cursed and said gloomily, "Had I known this, I might as well have joined the Ming Group. At least there’s money."

"Dude, you’re not the type who cares about money. You should always think about national and people’s interests. That’s the basic quality a martial artist should have."

Lin Canghai quickly tried to reframe Tang Ming’s thinking, fearing that if Tang Ming joined the Ming Group, the Dark Group’s future would be even harder. Lin Canghai comforted, "In terms of force alone, the Dark Group is definitely not inferior to the Ming Group. They’re just wealthy, formed by interests, constantly scheming. On the other hand, our Dark Group is extremely united and harmonious, with a pure goal of loyal service to the nation."

"Heh, if we’re not weaker, then why can’t we meddle in things they handle?"

Tang Ming sneered, "Don’t preach to me, I’m not as noble as you."

"There’s a reason for this. When the Ming Group and Dark Group were initially established, their roles were defined. The Ming Group manages martial arts affairs openly; the Dark Group handles things behind the scenes. Initially, the coordination was perfect, with the Ming Group leading openly and the Dark Group providing covert support. Unfortunately..."

Lin Canghai paused mid-sentence, unable to continue.
