368: Chapter 370 Wanted Criminal!

Hiding in the shadows, Tang Zhong’s heart was ablaze with rage.

He never imagined such an outcome; his parents were actually still alive and right now, they were within the Tang Family’s domain.

If it were any other time, Tang Zhong would have already stormed the Tang Family and then dealt with Tang Ran.

But now he couldn’t.

Just earlier, when he had clashed with Tang Ran in the Bentley, he found Tang Ran’s methods were anything but simple, especially that strength.

It was even stronger than his own.

Every time he thought of Tang Ran saying that his power came from his own parents, Tang Zhong clenched his teeth tightly.

Moreover, Tang Ran had the Dragon Order in his possession, one of the highest-ranking individuals within the Dragon Group.

That was what Tang Zhong truly had to be wary of.

He had never expected to fall to such a fate.

He now had to choose a foolproof plan, otherwise going to the Tang Family would be akin to courting death.

His heart was burning with anxiety.

His parents were still in Tang Ran’s clutches, and there was no way Tang Zhong could remain indifferent.

At that moment, the phone rang.

Tang Zhong saw that it was Monkey’s call and quickly reached to answer: “Hello…”

To his surprise, Monkey’s anxious voice came through immediately, “Brother Tang, you need to run!”

“What happened?” Tang Zhong’s eyebrows furrowed.

“All of Dragon Group is abuzz with a message claiming you, Tang Zhong, have committed treason by orchestrating a bombing in Brick City.

The higher-ups have called a meeting, demanding that you, the traitor, be captured at all costs.

Brother Tang, tell me, what the hell did you do?” Monkey asked.

Upon hearing this, Tang Zhong was filled with even greater regret.

This all must be Tang Ran’s doing; his true identity was that of a high-ranking Dragon Group member, and no one would dare contradict him once he released such a message.

“Monkey, I haven’t done anything, do you believe me?” Tang Zhong asked.

The answer came swiftly from the other end, “I believe you.

Those saying you bombed Brick City clearly lack brains.

Don’t I know what kind of person my Brother Tang is?”

Hearing this, Tang Zhong immediately felt relieved.

Being framed was less of a concern as long as his brothers believed him.

That was enough.

“Right, where’s Yuqing?” It was only then that Tang Zhong remembered a critical issue.

Usually, when Monkey called him, if Xia Yuqing wasn’t busy, she would definitely try to snatch the phone.

But it had been so long without a peep from her.

From the other end of the phone, hesitancy came through quickly, “She…”

“What happened to her?” Tang Zhong sensed something was amiss and immediately shouted.

“Brother Tang, here’s the thing.

The moment sister Yuqing heard that the higher-ups had issued an arrest order for you, she went to confront them to defend you, and she might have said some things she shouldn’t have.

Now, I’m afraid she’s been locked up!” Monkey explained.

“What?” Tang Zhong’s fists clenched tight in an instant.

Damn that Tang Ran!

Flames rose in Tang Zhong’s eyes as he felt cornered to desperation.

“Damn it!”

“Brother Tang, sister Yuqing will be fine, don’t worry.

The one in trouble is you.

They say you’re involved in bombing Brick City, and you have been nationally wanted.

Run away to a foreign country, the farther the better; and never come back!” Monkey advised.

“I understand,” Tang Zhong replied.

“It’s best you don’t contact me anymore.

It’s too risky for you.

Goodbye, Monkey; take good care of Yuqing.

Don’t let her do anything foolish because of me!”

Immediately after, Tang Zhong prepared to hang up.

Monkey’s urgent voice came through the phone, “Brother Tang, run fast, don’t stay in Xuan Country… don’t stay!”

Before he finished speaking, Tang Zhong had hung up.

Then he turned off his phone and threw it into the sewer ahead.

His phone would be registered with the Dragon Group, and if it were to be traced, it would reveal his whereabouts.

Disposing of it was the best option.

Having once been an assassin, Tang Zhong knew how to remove such traces.

After sorting out everything, Tang Zhong calmed down.

Now that he had become a wanted man by the Dragon Group, it was as if all the nation’s police forces were after him.

His current situation was extremely difficult.

That Tang Ran was practically forcing him to return to the Tang Family.

That guy was truly despicable.

At that moment, Tang Zhong looked up and saw a mall in the distance.

In front of the mall, there was a huge electronic screen.

Right then, a female announcer was broadcasting news in Mandarin.

“At 13:30 today, a massive terrorist bombing occurred in Brick City of Xuanjing.

This man is the prime suspect.

All city citizens are advised to report to the police immediately upon sighting this individual!”

Then, a photo of Tang Zhong appeared on the screen.

Underneath the electronic screen, too many people had gathered, pointing at the screen and cursing loudly.

“Can you believe this guy?

That’s Brick City he wanted to bomb!”

“Such a person should be expelled from the races of Xuan Country!”

“For such a grave mistake, he deserves to be thrown into the Eighteen Levels of Hell upon death!”

…

Hidden in the crowd, Tang Zhong saw this scene with an expressionless face, certain that the Tang Family was behind all this.

With the Tang Family’s financial power and influence, getting these TV stations to broadcast fake news was a piece of cake.

At that moment, Tang Zhong finally understood the meaning behind Tang Ran’s words when he left—if things were as they seemed, there probably would be no place for him in Xuan Country.

“Tang Ran…” Tang Zhong clenched his fists.

Never before had Tang Zhong been so wrongfully accused.

He had simply been trying to save people in Brick City.

Now, his attempt to save lives was being twisted into an act of bombing Brick City.

Tang Zhong was not willing to accept this.

But at that time, a chubby man nearby stared at him, his pupils dilating with shock as he exclaimed, “It’s you…

the one who bombed Brick City!”

At his shout, the people surrounding them turned their heads to look at Tang Zhong.

Their pupils contracted, they took another peek at the photo of Tang Zhong on the electronic screen, and after a careful comparison, they were sure he was the same person.

“That’s him, the one who bombed Brick City!”

“We can’t let him get away, he’s a criminal of our nation!”

A large group of people shouted at Tang Zhong, their intentions aggressive as they moved to capture him.

Seeing this, Tang Zhong immediately retorted, “It wasn’t me…

I was just saving people.

I didn’t do anything wrong, really, please believe me!”

“Still so stubborn when facing death.

We’ll capture you now, and you can tell it to the police!”

A crowd surged towards Tang Zhong.

Explaining was of no use; the news had misled the crowd, and no one was willing to believe him.

His only choice was to leave, and with that thought, he turned and walked away.

Seeing him leave, people behind him immediately shouted, “There goes the bomber of Brick City!

Everybody, catch him!”

In the shopping area, many had seen the news of the bombing in Brick City.

Hearing the shouts around them, they turned their attention to Tang Zhong, recognized him instantly, and moved to apprehend him.

Tang Zhong felt incredibly oppressed, but he had only one option left—to flee.

If these people caught him, he would surely fall into Tang Ran’s hands.

However, unknown to him, in the police station of Xuanjing City, the electronic surveillance on the streets had captured Tang Zhong’s figure, which the police were now observing.

“Look, there’s the fugitive!

Everybody, we have an emergency!”

“Yes!”

At that moment, a group of police officers, donned in uniform, were mobilizing for action.

Among them, a beautiful female officer trembled at the sight.

It was none other than Bai Xiaochun, who, due to her numerous meritorious deeds and family background, had been transferred directly from Jianghai to Xuanjing City.

She had not expected that on her second day in Xuanjing City, she would hear this news.

Upon learning that Tang Zhong had bombed Brick City, she was the first to disbelieve.

Tang Zhong was not that kind of person.

“Wait for me, Tang Zhong.

I will investigate and clear your name, restoring your innocence!” she vowed, putting on her police uniform and heading out.
