Chapter 300: Another Mission

Just as Wu Ming was about to tell Nangong Wending and Zhou Ling about his judgment, a deep voice suddenly rang out: "Brother Qiang, there's no need to keep arguing with these guys!"

The speaker was the young man who had been in a coma before. After he slowly woke up, he blurted out to the strong man next to him.

Upon hearing this, Wu Ming suddenly felt the blood in his body surging, and an uncontrollable hatred surged like a flood that broke through the dam, instantly flooding his entire heart.

Without a doubt, based on the intense reaction he felt in that instant, Wu Ming could conclude that this young man must have been one of those men in black who had come so aggressively. It was precisely because of this that he felt such a deep-seated hatred.

However, Wu Ming knew this was not the time to be consumed by hatred. He took a deep breath and forcibly suppressed the surging hatred within him. Then, with a solemn expression, he turned to Nangong Wending and Zhou Ling and said, "Commanders, please follow me to another location for a chat."

Seeing Wu Ming speak so seriously, the two men knew he must have made some important discovery. So, they nodded without hesitation and followed Wu Ming out of the cell.

As soon as he left the cell, Zhou Ling couldn't contain his curiosity and anticipation. He looked at Wu Ming excitedly and asked, "Wu Qi, did you really make some important discoveries? Tell us about it!"

Wu Ming nodded slightly and responded in a low voice, "Commander Zhou, to be honest, after just observing, I've confirmed that the young man is the one who attacked us. I remember his voice clearly, there's no way I'm wrong."

"Oh? Is that true? If so, then we can basically conclude that this group of people are the ones who attacked us in the past. But whether they belong to the Black Dragon Village requires further in-depth investigation to find out." Zhou Ling said after listening to what Wu Ming said and thinking for a while.

At this moment, a glint of determination flashed in Wu Ming's eyes. He gritted his teeth, bowed, and said, "Two commanders, I dare to make an unwelcome request. I want to personally slay this enemy with my sword to avenge the blood feud suffered by my brothers and to comfort the souls of those who have passed away! I sincerely ask for your approval!"

"Since we have confirmed beyond a doubt that these two are the ones who massacred the palace guards and robbed the escort, then keeping them is useless. It would be better to give you this opportunity to personally eliminate your enemies."

When Nangong Wendi heard what Wu Ming said, he agreed to Wu Ming's request without any hesitation.

It turned out that regarding the position and attitude of the mansion towards Wu Qi, the third lady had already secretly conveyed a message to these people who held high positions and great power in the mansion: they must firmly control Wu Qi, and as long as the requests he put forward are not particularly outrageous, they must agree to them, and they must do everything possible to tie him tightly to the Bai Mansion.

Therefore, although Wu Qi's request this time seemed a bit contrary to common sense, Nangong Wending thought about it and weighed the pros and cons, and felt that there was no problem in agreeing to this request, so he agreed without hesitation.

As for Wu Ming, when he heard Nangong Wending's straightforward answer, he couldn't help but feel surprised. He really couldn't understand why Nangong Wending agreed to his promise so readily.

However, he thought again that this matter would be of great benefit to his own elimination of the obsession, so he hurriedly clasped his fists and bowed, and sincerely thanked him: "Thank you, Commander Nangong, for your help!"

Seeing Wu Ming's thanks, Nangong Wending just waved his hand casually, signaling him to go in quickly and deal with the two villains.

Not long after, Wu Ming slowly walked out of the cell. At this moment, the cell, which had been filled with the arrogant shouting of the strong man, was now dead silent, with no sound coming out at all.

Nangong Wendi and Zhou Ling, who had been waiting outside, noticed that although the troublemaker had been dealt with, Wu Ming's face did not show any joy. On the contrary, his expression looked quite gloomy.

The two of them naturally thought that perhaps because Wu Ming had just ended two lives with his own hands, he must have felt somewhat uncomfortable and depressed, so they did not delve into it any further.

However, they never imagined that the real reason behind Wu Ming's gloomy expression was far more complex. After successfully sending the two villains to their deaths, he suddenly realized that the obsession within him had not yet completely dissipated. This was precisely why his expression was so solemn and gloomy.

"It seems that just getting rid of these two people is far from enough... Do I have to go to the Black Dragon Village in person?" Wu Ming thought to himself, feeling a little conflicted and hesitant.

At this moment, Nangong Wending broke the silence and said to Wu Ming, "Alright, Wu Qi, let's end today's affairs here for now. You can return and rest first. I need to report everything that happened here in detail to the eldest master immediately to see what arrangements the mansion will make."

"Yes, Commander." Wu Ming responded respectfully upon hearing the voice, then turned around and left quickly, his figure gradually disappearing in the distance.

A day later, the sun shone on the spacious and solemn martial arts field, as if covering the venue with a layer of golden gauze.

Nangong Wending stood in the center of the field with a serious expression, his eyes slowly sweeping over the several palace guards lined up neatly in front of him.

"Everyone, I have gathered you captains here today because there is an important task that needs to be assigned to you to carry out." Nangong Wending's voice was steady and powerful, and it reached everyone's ears clearly.

Five valiant captains of the imperial guards stood quietly in the field, their figures erect and unyielding like pine trees. Wu Ming was one of them, his face resolute, his eyes revealing a sense of courage and determination.

"Commander, please make it clear! No matter what the mission is, as long as you give the order, we will go all out and never back down!" Several people in the field shouted in unison, their voices resonating like thunder, showing their fearless courage and responsibility.

Nangong Wending nodded slightly, a look of relief on his face, but it was soon replaced by solemnity.

"Recently, our family has been plagued by many disasters. First, more than a dozen colleagues were tragically killed; then, even the eldest son was attacked by the enemy.

This series of events has gradually demoralized many colleagues, and some have even begun to believe that we in the Bai Mansion can only allow others to bully and insult us without any ability to fight back.
