366: Chapter 368 Criminal!

(Second Update) 366: Chapter 368 Criminal!

(Second Update) As Tang Ran spoke, an uproar ensued.

What exactly happened with the bombing of Brick City?

Everyone turned to look at Tang Ran, eager to know what this was all about.

To say the hero bombed Brick City was ludicrous; the hero was just then rescuing people from the ruins.

Yet, this individual seemed to be of no small consequence.

The woman whose child Tang Zhong had rescued was the first to object, confronting Tang Ran, “Who are you?

What nonsense are you spouting?

He was just saving people from the rubble, how could you accuse him of bombing Brick City?”

Hearing this, others joined in, “Exactly, we all saw clearly how he was rescuing people!”

An official from before approached, smiling at Tang Ran.

Considering Tang Ran was from the Tang Family, the most prominent family in Xuanjing City, he dared not show any negligence and said, “Family Head Tang, you are a public figure.

I think there might be a misunderstanding.

That man was saving people just moments ago.

How could he be bombing Brick City?”

After all, everyone present could see Tang Zhong rescuing people, and those he had saved confirmed it was Tang Zhong who rescued them; it had nothing to do with bombing whatsoever.

Tang Ran, with a cold and stern look, retorted, “Would I lie?”

The official immediately replied with a smile, “How could the words of Family Head Tang be false?”

He then backed away, realizing this situation was beyond his help.

Tang Ran turned to gaze at Tang Zhong, his eyes filled with a chilling intent, “Tang Zhong, I now wield the Dragon Order, and I’m telling you, you’re under arrest!”

Under arrest?

Tang Zhong frowned deeply, still unclear as to how the Dragon Order ended up in Tang Ran’s hands, let alone why he was being accused of a crime.

What had he done?

All he did was save people in Brick City.

“On what grounds are you arresting me?” Tang Zhong demanded coldly.

“On the grounds that you bombed Brick City; isn’t that accusation grave enough!” Tang Ran proclaimed arrogantly.

“I did not!” Tang Zhong said.

“You still dare to deny it?

Do you really not know what you’ve done up there?” Tang Ran scoffed coldly.

Tang Zhong’s pupils constricted as he stared at Tang Ran.

He wasn’t a fool; Tang Ran was targeting him.

There had to be an ulterior motive.

There must have been a reason they insisted on his return to the Tang Family, and now Tang Ran was framing him without cause; it was certain that he coveted something.

“I did nothing!” Tang Zhong insisted earnestly as he looked at Tang Ran.

“You claim you did nothing, yet you have the audacity to be defiant.

The sudden appearance of such a breach in Brick City was your doing.

You bombed the city then came out to play the hero.

Tang Zhong, what are your ulterior motives?” Tang Ran persisted.

Lillian stood nearby, and upon hearing Tang Ran speak, she immediately stepped forward.

She had been with Tang Zhong all along and knew exactly what he had done, “You’re talking nonsense; my brother is nothing like what you’re portraying him as!”

But Tang Ran coldly retorted, “Since you call this man brother, of course, you’d speak on his behalf.

You two are in cahoots!”

“You’re talking rubbish!” Lillian exclaimed.

“Don’t speak, let me handle this,” Tang Zhong said with a deep frown.

“Brother, he’s framing you!” Lillian protested angrily.

“You were clearly saving people just now!”

“It’s okay!” Tang Zhong replied, narrowing his eyes.

He looked directly at Tang Ran, already discerning that this man was targeting him.

“Tang Ran, we’re both members of the Tang Family.

Why are you doing this?” Tang Zhong asked.

“Why am I doing this?

You’re about to blow up Brick City.

As a member of the Tang Family who has committed such a heinous crime, shouldn’t I, as the Family Head, step in?” Tang Ran shouted loudly, ensuring that everyone around could hear.

Simultaneously, Tang Ran’s gaze on Tang Zhong took on a mocking tone, whispering softly enough for only Tang Zhong to hear, “I am targeting you, so you’d better behave.

If you submit now, I guarantee you’ll be fine.

But if you don’t, I will make you suffer greatly.”

The voice was so low that only Tang Zhong could hear it.

Tang Zhong’s eyes narrowed even tighter upon hearing these words.

He understood, this person was targeting him.

Tang Zhong’s fists clenched tightly together.

“Don’t bother resisting in vain, you should recognize what I have in my hand,” Tang Ran continued.

Tang Zhong glanced at the Dragon Order.

Members of the Dragon Group, upon seeing the Dragon Order, could not oppose whatever the holder of the order did.

Could it be that the Tang Family was part of the Dragon Group?

Tang Ran had managed to produce the Dragon Order, but how?

Tang Zhong felt like he had stumbled upon the biggest secret.

“Have you decided what you’re going to do?” asked Tang Ran.

Tang Zhong looked at Tang Ran, his thoughts whirling in his head.

He knew that if he didn’t comply now, he would truly become the mastermind behind the bombing of Brick City.

Right then, Tang Zhong said, “I’ll go with you!”

At these words, Tang Ran smiled triumphantly, “That’s more like it!

The car is over there!”

A Bentley was parked up ahead.

Tang Zhong walked forward, staying here would only add to his troubles.

Since Tang Ran intended to take him to the Tang Family, he would go and see why he had to do this.

Only by reaching the Tang Family could he find the answers.

Tang Ran laughed upon seeing this.

“Dad, it worked.

Once Tang Zhong arrives at our Tang household, he will be in the palm of our hands,” Tang Lin said with a laugh at the side.

“I know.

Now I have a task for you!” Tang Ran said.

“What is it?” asked Tang Lin.

“This guy, saving people in Brick City, must have been seen by many.

Now, we need to turn right into wrong.

Go and give a heads up to the people at the TV stations, and have them simultaneously report that Tang Zhong is the perpetrator behind the bombing of Brick City.

Remember, the more they can smear his name, the better.

Don’t hold back at all!”

“Sure!” Tang Lin nodded with a smile.

At that moment, as Tang Zhong got into the car, a large group of onlookers couldn’t help but feel pity.

A hero was now being labeled as the bomber of Brick City.

They didn’t know about the Dragon Order, but they could tell that the token carried great authority.

All they could do at that moment was to wave goodbye to Tang Zhong.

“Farewell, hero!”

“Hero, you will be alright!”

Tang Ran also got into the Bentley, and the car quickly left the scene.

This entire scene was broadcasted, and soon, people online and in front of TVs were bewildered.

What was happening?

“Why is the hero being taken away?”

“Exactly, what’s going on?

Who is that person driving the Bentley?

They aren’t treating the hero right!”

But soon, the image on the TV disappeared.

In its place were shocking news stories, with several TV stations broadcasting the same report.

“The screen showed the figure of Tang Zhong, but the narrative was that the collapse of Brick City was not a natural disaster but an act of sabotage by the man in the picture!”

…

In an instant, everyone following the incident was stunned.

How could a hero suddenly become a villain?

“We don’t believe it, we clearly saw the hero saving people!”

“That’s right, we won’t accept this!”

…But online, a vast swarm of critics soon emerged, blatantly accusing Tang Zhong, calling him a traitor to the nation and saying he was unworthy of being a citizen of Xuan Country.

Everything happened so abruptly, it seemed as if someone had set him up.

Before long, the name of criminal completely overshadowed that of hero, and everyone started referring to Tang Zhong as Xuan Country’s criminal.
