Chapter 443: Chapter 359: An Attempted Crime is also a Crime (Please Subscribe!)_1

"You..." Ashley was incredibly enraged, but the identity of the Congressman had held her at bay. She recognized the ’flamboyantly cheap woman’ next to him, named Angelina, who was from the neighboring class, though they didn’t interact much normally.

At this moment, Tang Nian’er was also a bit scared. She had been in the United States for quite some time, and knew very well what a Congressman represented.

And aware of the power these individuals commanded.

Seeing the fear in Tang Nian’er’s face, the burly man felt a sudden surge of triumph. He and Angelina were somewhat boyfriend and girlfriend, but only ’somewhat’ because Angelina was bisexual, merely a bit perverse, especially towards women. Her dealings with men were only a bit wild in bed.

But when it came to women...

She loved to play exciting games, and after hearing about several vile incidents, he felt they were all related to Angelina. However, he dared not ask, knowing too much was not a good thing, and playing dumb was safer.

Thinking about this gave him a chill, reflecting that it was the rich who revelled in this. When life was devoid of any challenges, they derived pleasure from thrills. He had seen and heard of many upper-class Americans who had psychological issues and pursued excitement, physically or mentally, torturing themselves and others for pleasure.

The burly man thought he had Tang Nian’er under his thumb, and reached out to touch her shoulder.

"Hey, wait a moment..."

But before he could finish his sentence, his outstretched arm hung in mid-air as a sudden intense pain shot through his shoulder. Suddenly plunged into darkness, he was sent flying.

"Boom." His body struck a wall.

"Clang."

He knocked over a garbage can and then passed out on the floor.

Everyone else watched, slightly stunned, as two well-dressed, Chinese-looking bodyguards that seemed to appear out of nowhere intervened.

One bodyguard stared at the few people in front of them.

The other turned to Tang Nian’er and said:

"Miss Tang, please leave with us."

"Who are you?"

Tang Nian took two steps back, keeping a watchful eye on the man. Although they looked Chinese and even spoke fluent Chinese, she could not possibly follow strangers like these.

"We are here to protect you." The bodyguard replied.

"You are not my father’s bodyguards." Tang Nian’er took two steps back and said.

Hearing this, Ashley also stepped forward to shield Tang Nian’er from them.

"What are you doing?" Ashley did not understand Chinese, but she could infer that these were not Tang Nian’er’s bodyguards. She had visited Tang Nian’er’s house many times and had never seen these two men before.

The bodyguard paid no attention to Ashley.

"Buzz Buzz..." Just then, Tang Nian’er’s mobile phone began ringing.

Before Tang Nian’er could take it out, the bodyguard began to speak:

"It’s your father." At this moment, Tang Qing had just finished his phone call with Tang Kai a few seconds ago.

Upon hearing this, Tang Nian’er hesitated, pulling out her phone confirmed that it was indeed her father calling.

She looked doubtfully at the well-dressed man in front of her.

She pressed the answer button.

As soon as the call connected, a familiar voice came through. frёeweɓηovel.coɱ

"Nian’er, how are you? Are you okay?" His tone was filled with urgency and concern.

It was indeed her father’s voice, and Tang Nian’er instantly believed most of what the bodyguard had said.

"Dad? I’m fine, who are these people?" Tang Nian’er asked..

"They are bodyguards, you must go with them immediately and catch a plane back home as soon as possible. I am really careless. If it weren’t for your brother, I wouldn’t even know you were in danger." Tang Kai was somewhat relieved and was grateful for Tang Qing’s arrangement, though he didn’t know what the danger was. Even if Tang Nian’er just hurt her finger, he would be incredibly worried. This was evidently not a minor matter, otherwise, Tang Qing would not have made this call.

"What? My brother?" Tang Nian’er said in surprise.

Could it be her father’s illegitimate child?

But her father was not that kind of person.

If he did have one.

What about her mother?

In an instant, countless thoughts flashed through Tang Nian’er’s mind.

Tang Kai realized his mistake and hastily explained, "No, he’s your cousin, the son of your uncle. But let’s not discuss this now. I will ask your mother to pack your luggage immediately. You must take a plane home as soon as you get home."

Upon hearing this, Tang Nian’er sighed a sigh of relief. It must have been those soap operas that put such thoughts in her head. As soon as she remembered, she said, "I see." Truthfully, there was nothing she would miss here. Living in a foreign land with stark cultural differences and unfamiliar habits, she would rather go home, whether it was to Bangkok or domestically.

After speaking, Tang Nian’er put away the phone, ready to leave with Ashley.

"Who the hell are you guys? Don’t move. Are you Tang Nian’er’s bodyguard? Who gave you permission to enter?" Angelina, seeing her ’prey’ get away, of course, objected, blocking their path.

But before she could take two steps, she was suddenly pulled back by the other bodyguard and stumbled to the ground.

"Ah, it hurts." She covered her scraped knee.

Angelina was furious.

It had been so long since anyone dared to treat her like this.

"You guys are all dead meat. Stop them; I’m calling the police." Angelina shouted at her companions.

The few men exchanged glances.

They were just hooligans, and starting a fight with two professional bodyguards felt like suicide.

Seeing their collective inaction, Angelina was livid.

"Useless, you think you guys can just walk away after beating someone up?" With that, she pulled out her phone, ready to call the police. But before she could dial the number, her phone had been knocked out of her hand by one of the bodyguards, hit a wall and broke into pieces.

Without lingering further,

The two bodyguards promptly escorted Tang Nian’er away.

She watched as their swaggering retinue left, aware that she could do nothing at that moment. Reporting it to the police might not even ensure their arrests, but she had plenty of time, they couldn’t protect Tang Nian’er forever. Angelina’s face assumed a sinister look.

Seeing her expression, Tang Qing, who was debating whether to kill her or not, decided it was his duty to rid the society of the menace she represented. As for the others, this wasn’t the place to teach them a lesson.

"Angelina, George isn’t dead. What do we do?"

"You’re stating the obvious. I know he isn’t dead. Can they dare kill him here? I’m injured too. Call an ambulance!"

Angelina yelled, seething.

At that moment.

A warm breeze blew by.

However, for some reason, she had a bad feeling.

She didn’t know where the unease came from. As for the Chinese guy, he posed no threat at all.

...

Meanwhile.

Just as Tang Nian’er got into the car safely.

Tang Kai immediately ordered his men to book two tickets back to Bangkok and told his wife to pack. Although he didn’t know the nature of the threat his daughter faced, he felt the same as Tang Kai, a phone call signified a grave matter beyond minor injuries.

On hearing this, his wife was so shocked that she almost lost her balance. She hung up the phone and began packing hurriedly.

As for their studies.

It was a trivial matter.

Knowing Angelina’s background and identity, Tang Qing was anxious to bring Tang Nian’er back considering the dangers she would face regardless of whether they acted against Angelina. If they didn’t confront Angelina, they would lose face, and the mentally unstable Angelina could be a future threat, a ticking time bomb.

If they confronted Angelina, her influential family would undoubtedly intervene. That presented much more trouble.

Where there is trouble.

It’s better to keep away.

Even if they were to confront the senator’s family, they should first escort the ’hostage’ home. Knowing the influence and background of Angelina, the New York police department had only named her a suspect in several cases and went easy on interrogation.

Of course.

Tang Qing knew.

This was just the way officials in the New York police department worked.

The one offering the most would get the prize.

To put it bluntly.

Angelina, who was digging her grave, had also become a mere pawn.

An relieved Tang Kai called Tang Qing again.

"Tangtang, I’ve asked my men to buy Nian’er’s ticket. Will your friend get into trouble because of this?" Tang Kai sounded a bit worried.

"Don’t worry, Uncle. It’s fine. He can handle it. To avoid the police, we should get Nian’er back as soon as possible." Tang Qing said with a smile.

Tang Kai sighed in relief.

"The flight leaves in an hour, so time should not be an issue."

"That’s good to hear, Uncle. Leave the escort mission to my friend and rest assured." Tang Kai assured.

Tang Kai said, "Then please thank your friend for me."

"Sure."

After hanging up.

"Tang Yi, ensure my sister’s safety on her journey."

"Yes, my Commander."

Due to Tang Nian’er leaving the U.S., the urgency of the clean-up task diminished, with the deadline extended to three days. Still, Tang Qing didn’t cancel the job. Logically, once Tang Nian’er left, Angelina posed no threat. He took a look at the files of those who had been tortured and killed by Angelina, and he held his tongue.

Trash.

Upon encountering it.

It had to be dealt with.

Preventing further harm to others.

Besides, it wasn’t certain whether they would be traced back to him. As for evidence? Soldiers killing people, especially in covert operations, wouldn’t leave any traces. It’s exceedingly easy to stage it as an accident.

Three days later.

Angelina was found electrocuted in her home’s bathroom. After a professional examination, it was determined, she died due to aged wiring in the wall that had been exposed to water while bathing. There were no abnormalities or other findings.

In the end, Angelina’s death was ruled as an accident.

As for the other hooligans.

Hmm.

Tang Qing didn’t rush his soldiers to act.

But apart from April, the others should feel the sorrow of being castrated.

They dared to mess with his sister.

To think was permissible.

But to fail in action was unforgivable.

Just like on a crowded street, it’s not a crime to fantasize about any attractive woman, no one can blame you for it, but a ’failed action’ bears legal consequences.
