“How dare these people do this!” Tang Zhenhua angrily hit the ground with his crutch. Suddenly something occurred to him, and he suppressed his inner anger, looked at Tang Ya and said gently, “Yaya, let’s go back to the capital. I want to introduce you to everyone.”
Tang Ya looked at him and asked him in worry, “Did something happen?”
Xiao Zhihe also looked Tang Zhenhua, asking, “Mr. Tang, is there anything wrong with your company?”
Tang Zhenhua thought for a while and told them what had happened just now. Xiao Zhihe frowned. “That’s not easy to deal with.” Then he paused and continued, “Is it proper…” He took a look at Tang Ya and asked, “to announce Yaya’s identity now?”
Tang Zhenhua said, “No problem. I’m still the largest shareholder of the Empire Group. I have the final say in the Empire Group, and I want to make it up to Yaya.”
“Dad.” Tang Ya looked at Tang Zhenhua and sighed. “You don’t owe me anything.”
Tang Zhenhua shook his head. “It’s my fault that I failed to protect you and your mother.”
When Tang Ya heard he mentioned her mother, her eyes turned red. “Mother died because she tried to protect me…”
“Yaya, you have nothing to do with your mother’s death.” Tang Zhenhua said seriously, “You don’t have to feel guilty.”
…
When Tang Xi arrived at City C, it was ten pm at night, so they couldn’t go to the jail. She asked Little Six to book a hotel room for her. When she reached the hotel, she called Qiao Liang who was at the airport and going to fly to North America. Tang Xi frowned. After last time she severely injured her own body because she forcibly used the all-purpose skills and currently 008 had inactivated the all-purpose skills. Now she couldn’t initiate the all-purpose skills until her physical points reached the upper limit, so now she could only keep telling Qiao Liang to take care.
In his private plane, listening to Tang Xi’s warm words, Qiao Liang smiled. “Okay, and you must have Little Six follow you no matter where you go, understood?”
Tang Xi said, “I’m safe at home. It’s you who need to take care. Didn’t you say the Mexican gangsters wanted to kill you…”
“Okay, I’ll be careful.” Qiao Liang said with a smile. “I have to hang up. Lu Li is calling me.”
Qiao Liang hung up and picked up Lu Li’s call. “Lu Li?”
Wen Ning’s trembling voice rang. “Lu Li disappeared. I found this phone in the forest at the border between the US and Mexico.”
Qiao Liang clenched his cellphone and asked, “When did you lose contact with him?”
“I couldn’t contact him this morning, so I flew to Mexico and tried to find him with the locating system, but I only found his cellphone, and there was blood around it. I’m not sure whether it’s Lu Li’s blood.” Wen Ning’s voice had been trembling. Obviously, she was trying to suppress her inner fright.
Qiao Liang immediately said to the captain, “Go to the No.13 Base.”
The captain nodded and left. Qiao Liang said to Wen Ning, “Don’t be nervous and don’t let the anti-terrorism force find out about your relationship with Lu Li. Now go back to the anti-terrorism force and pry into any information as much as possible.”
Wen Ning said, “Okay.” Qiao Liang tried to comfort her. “Don’t worry. Lu Li will be fine.”
Wen Ning hesitated and said, “I didn’t know my subordinates took actions on Long Xiao. They kept it from me. If I had known that, I would have reminded Lu Li in advance.”
Qiao Liang paused and then said with a frown. “Wen Ning, even if you had known that and hadn’t told us, it wasn’t your fault, because that’s your job. Don’t be guilty.”
Wen Ning said, “Thank you.”
Qiao Liang frowned. “Thank you for your help.”
Qiao Liang was about to hang up, when Wen Ning suddenly said, “Wait a minute.” Then she asked after a long pause, “Will Lu Li really be alright?”
Qiao Liang fell into silence. He had to check with the No.13 Base to make sure whether Lu Li would be fine or not.
However… He spoke to her firmly, “He will be fine. Trust me.”
The next morning, Tang Xi went to the jail after breakfast. The director of the jail was Xiao Yao’s acquaintance, so he warmly received Tang Xi and took her to the visiting room himself. Not only Qin Luo, but also Lin Jiao and Xiao Jinning were in the room.
The three of them glared at Tang Xi resentfully as if they were going to break the thick glass and swallow Tang Xi alive.
Tang Xi sneered at them and Qin Luo asked her coldly, “Tell me where this is.”
Seeing her arrogant look, Tang Xi laughed. “Of course this is a jail. You’ve stayed here for so long. How can you not know this is a jail?”
Xiao Jinning rushed up and screamed at her hysterically, “Xiao Rou! Release me! B*tch! Let me go!”
“You wish! I guess there must be a lot of your fans in jail, right?” Tang Xi casually looked at her and turned up the corners of her mouth. “Have you considered to hold a fan meeting here?”
Xiao Jinning just wanted to tear this woman into pieces! She glared at Tang Xi ferociously. If it weren’t for this woman, she would still be the most loved daughter of the Xiao Family, fiancée of Liu Chengyu and a big star with tens of millions of fans! But after this woman appeared, she became a fake, a loser and a criminal!
That was all because of Xiao Rou!
Lin Jiao shook her head hard at Xiao Jinning and signaled her not to piss Xiao Rou off. Now their fates were in the hands of Xiao Rou. Xiao Jinning glared at Lin Jiao disdainfully. “Who do you think you are?! I’m not your daughter! You’re not in a position to educate me!”
“Shut up!” Qin Luo snapped. “We’re on the same side! We can’t fight with each other!”
Tang Xi looked at the three of them and smiled satisfactorily. “Interesting. As the saying goes, God has eyes. Now you just getting your retribution!”
“You’re just lucky.” Qin Luo coldly stared at Tang Xi.
