376: Chapter 378: All Hands on Deck for the People of Jianghai!

Looking at the peasants wielding tools in the distance, everyone froze.

How did these peasants get here?

It didn’t take them long to get the gist of it; those peasants were shouting slogans in support of the good man Tang Zhong.

The journalists, one more stunned than the next, watched the scene broadcasted, and like them, the rest of Xuan Country froze as they saw a large crowd of peasants on screen, along with their imposing presence.

They couldn’t quite understand what they were seeing.

Wasn’t he a criminal?

How did he become a good man?

And to be called good by the peasants at that?

It seemed the situation was getting more and more complicated.

The peasants were simple folk, yet now they were claiming Tang Zhong was a good man, which surely meant Tang Zhong had helped these peasants.

But how exactly had he helped them?

If you consider the entire country, only a few people knew what had happened.

Back in the days in Jianghai, Tang Zhong fought for the peasants’ wages.

The peasants present now were the very same from back then.

As soon as they heard Tang Zhong was in trouble, saw him labeled as a criminal, reviled on TV, they were the first to refuse to believe it.

They couldn’t fathom their benefactor committing such acts.

When they saw Tang Zhong being encouraged, they were even more irritated.

Who said their benefactor was isolated?

They had him too.

So they got in their vehicles, grabbed their tools, and came straight here.

They came for nothing else but to protect their benefactor!

The leading peasant’s words caught Tang Ran’s eyes, and his pupils almost burst out.

He hadn’t expected the peasants to be so bold!

What did they take the Tang Family for?

None of these peasants would get away.

Tang Ran immediately gave orders to Tang Lin, “Summon the rest of the Tangs, capture this bunch of rustic villagers.

Accuse them of disturbing social order and lock them up for a few years!”

“Yes!” Tang Lin responded, looking at the angry mob of peasants, infuriated beyond belief, especially knowing these peasants dared to confront the Tangs for Tang Zhong’s sake.

They must be tired of living.

Those peasants along with the members of the Crown Prince’s Club, they prepared to take away all of them.

It seemed everyone dared to defy them.

If they did not discipline them now, the Tang Family’s dignity would be forever questioned!

But before Tang Lin and his men could act, the burly peasants took the initiative.

Brandishing sickles and hoes, they stormed inside.

“Release our benefactor!” the leading peasant roared.

Seeing Tang Zhong lying in a pool of blood on the ground, the peasants felt aggrieved.

On seeing this, the Crown Prince’s Club grabbed their knives, ready to rescue Tang Zhong, “No matter what, we must save the Crown Prince!”

A large group of people charged in.

And Tang Lin, leading the Tang Household guards, coldly ordered, “Catch them all, don’t let a single one escape!”

The guards behind him nodded and immediately sprang into action.

The Tang Household guards were of special forces caliber, each skilled in combat.

The numerous journalists, witnessing the fight, quickly hid away but didn’t forget to keep filming.

The Tang Household guards, with their extraordinary strength, faced a Crown Prince’s Club member wielding a long knife.

A capturing hand from the guards easily neutralized the knife’s offensive, then with a swift maneuver, they caught the Crown Prince’s Club member.

A violent twist followed by a wrenching cry—the member’s arm was dislocated, instantly incapacitating him for battle.

The peasants were able to hold out for a few rounds, but eventually, they were overwhelmed and disarmed.

“You bully our benefactor, I will fight you to the end!”

“I won’t accept this!”

But the disparity in strength was too great; they were almost all defeated, pressed down and forced to kneel.

Except for Situ Mingliang and a few other key members, who remained uninhibited, now standing afar gritting their teeth.

“What do we do now, Brother Situ?”

“There’s nothing we can do, they are too strong!” Situ Mingliang hissed through clenched teeth, his anxiety growing as he watched Tang Zhong lying in the pool of blood on the ground.

Seeing this, Tang Ran stood proudly, not even giving Situ Mingliang and the kneeling peasants a glance but rather gazing at Tang Zhong lying in the blood pool, he sneered, “Tang Zhong, it seems I’ve underestimated you.

I didn’t expect you, lying here, could incite the Crown Prince’s Club and a group of silly peasants to come to your aid.

But what’s the use?

Besides them, who else will support you?

I’m afraid there’s no one left!”

After speaking, Tang Ran was ready to grab Tang Zhong.

It was time to draw the blood.

Once he had Tang Zhong’s Golden Blood, it would be mission accomplished.

Just when his hand was about to grab Tang Zhong.

At that moment, outside the Tang Family’s residence, a series of car horns began blaring.

Tang Ran heard the sounds, his face turning slightly grim, could it be another unexpected incident?

“Go out and have a look!” Tang Ran said to Tang Lin.

Tang Lin nodded and headed towards the door, but when he reached the entrance, his pupils suddenly dilated.

“How is this possible?”

He saw countless sedans surrounding the Tang Family’s old mansion, with every car’s headlights on and horns honking.

Among them, there were not only private cars but also taxis and fire engines, all kinds of vehicles were present.

However, these cars had one thing in common, their license plates all started with JiangH.

That is to say, all these cars came from Jianghai.

The Tang Family’s old mansion had a large courtyard, and the arriving cars had completely encircled the yard, showing the multitude of them.

The honking sounds from before were made by them.

Inside the courtyard, Tang Ran was still unaware of what had happened.

Seeing Tang Lin standing motionless, he knew something was up.

Just as he was about to ask what happened, at that moment, from outside, a voice came over a loudspeaker.

“People inside, listen up, we’ve got you surrounded.

We’re giving you the shortest deakline to release Tang Zhong, or else, we’ll level this courtyard!”

“Free Brother Shadow!”

“Free Teacher Tang!”

Neat shouting emerged, even more numerous than the migrant workers who came before.

Looking further, there seemed to be thousands.

The traffic within a mile radius of the Tang Family property had come to a severe standstill, with sedans slowly clogging every road.

They were all from Jianghai.

When the compatriots in Jianghai City saw the news about Tang Zhong, their faces turned pale.

They believed in Tang Zhong’s character; he simply couldn’t have done such a thing.

It must have been a set-up.

Since they already knew that Tang Zhong was Brother Shadow, they believed he would never do such a thing.

So, they rallied overnight, came here to demand his release.

People from Shallow Bay arrived, Auntie Weiwei, Xiaotong, and others were in the center.

Those hostages who were saved from the shopping mall explosion had also come.

Hearing that Tang Zhong was arrested, they dropped everything and came straight here, even the students from the No.1 Middle School arrived.

Wei Suo, Liang Pang, and others were all here to support Teacher Tang.

They all trusted that Tang Zhong was innocent.

There must be some mistake and, without understanding it fully, they didn’t want to understand it either.

All they wanted now was for Tang Zhong to be safe.

Upon witnessing this scene, all reporters were dumbfounded.

Looking at this crowd of students, residents, teachers, and firefighters, these professionals from unrelated fields, were now united for the same cause, to save one person.

This…

was simply unbelievable.

The reporters were stunned, and so were those behind the scenes directing the broadcast feed; at this moment, all of them were petrified.

What kind of person could possess such cohesive power, what kind of person could make these ordinary folks brave enough to defy the Tang Family’s might and risk it all?

At this moment, everyone’s hearts were trembling, as they couldn’t help but wonder, was Tang Zhong truly a criminal?

Could a criminal inspire such adoration from so many?

What sort of criminal could be so cherished when they’re supposed to be despised?

Who, exactly, is Tang Zhong?

Perhaps, this time, everyone had really made a mistake.

Such a person, he’s a hero.
