Chapter 1280 Who do you think you are, coming here like this!
So why?
Tang Tang decided to stop thinking about it.
As they approached Lighthouse Hill, Tang Tang finally uttered her last words, "Everything depends on the FBI's report. Let's see if that old guy Reginald lives or dies."
If Reginald is later rescued, it's possible that the former president, who was considered a madman, didn't actually intend to kill him.
However, that would obviously make the situation even more complicated.
“We might seem a bit passive,” Edwin said, “but sometimes being passive is a safe position. Because both you and I have the chips to redeem ourselves from the game.”
Since the outcome, whether we win or lose, won't be too bad, then whether we are passive or not is irrelevant.
What happened tonight was quite unexpected, and it must have taken a toll on her emotions. Tang Tang looked at Edwin, thought for a moment, and asked, "It's getting late."
Do you want to stay the night?
Since they've already sent her back to Lighthouse Hill, if Edwin doesn't have anything important to do, it seems like he'd rather stay at Lighthouse Hill that night than go back to his apartment and have to go through all that trouble.
Tang Tang asked the question casually, and Edwin answered quite generously.
A smile appeared on his face; he seemed very happy, and even a few handsome, easygoing smile lines appeared on his cheeks, making him appear even more elegant.
"Is that alright?" He paused, then suddenly asked, "But if I stay overnight, won't the mercenaries at your villa be angry?"
Tang Tang slowly turned her head and stared at Edwin's face, saying strangely, "Why do I feel like you're talking in such a teasy way?"
Edwin smiled slightly, calm and composed, denying as if he hadn't done anything, "Tea? What does 'tea aroma' mean? I don't quite understand."
He looked at Tang Tang with apparent sincerity and then asked, "Baby, is this a word that evolved from the profound and extensive Chinese culture?"
Why do I have a feeling you're faking it?
Tang Tang looked at him and said, "Oh, the tea fragrance is a compliment to you... it's a compliment to the tea scent on you, you know, like the perfume of Darjeeling tea, it's a compliment to your elegance and tranquility, just like tea."
Edwin looked at Tang Tang with affection, "Really? Then I'd still be happy to become a bit of a tea bum."
You're just faking it, aren't you... hey.
Tang Tang decided not to dwell on this minor issue and continued, "Actually, they're quite easy to get along with..."
She paused for a moment before continuing, "Except for a short, somewhat irritable guy, well, just think of him as a violent kid with bipolar disorder."
Edwin said tactfully, "That doesn't sound like it's going to be easy."
This thing must be incredibly toxic to have survived this long.
Tang Tang glanced at him and said, "Be polite."
Edwin's evil personality seems to pop up for a few seconds every now and then.
Edwin immediately agreed, "Hmm...sounds like a very lively person."
That's really sarcastic.
Tang Tang sighed, feeling that she might have made a very dangerous decision.
But she decided to trust the reliability of everyone except Sky.
That's right, besides Sky, even W, whose mental state has always been quite unstable, is actually quite reliable when you look into it!
……
As the car slowly came to a stop outside the villa on Lighthouse Mountain, Tang Tang got out of the car and saw someone coming out.
Okay.
Like a cannonball, who else but Sky could be so fierce?
Sky, like a cat with its tail held high but muttering curses as it approached, muttered as it stood with its hands on its hips, "Are you cursed with bad luck? Why does something always happen to you whenever you go out?"
He kept talking nonstop, and Tang Tang couldn't get a word in edgewise; he was practically a pager come to life.
"We've received word that you've been arrested by the FBI. A few of us wanted to go to the banquet to check on things, but Tang Xiao wouldn't let us!"
Yes, when Tang Xiao is in the villa and Tang Tang is not there, he is the embodiment of Tang Tang's thoughts. Even though these mercenaries are very unruly, they will still reluctantly listen to Tang Xiao for Tang Tang's sake.
However, this is on the premise that Tang Tang is not in danger.
"So I'm saying, are you really that unlucky? Why don't you go find a fortune teller or a shaman to do your divination? Or maybe you should go to church and pray. Don't you Chinese people like going to temples and Taoist monasteries?"
He was talking non-stop, and was about to ask Tang Tang if she was going, when he suddenly saw Edwin coming out with Tang Tang.
"?"
In an instant, Sky fell silent, his round eyes narrowing with a hint of repulsion. He took a step back and asked in a puzzled tone, "Wasn't the banquet over? Why is he here?"
Sky had seen Edwin once that morning, or rather, all the mercenaries knew of Edwin's existence that morning.
Tang Tang's male companion at the banquet might also have some other relationship; oh, I forgot, he was also the former owner of this villa.
But so what? Anyway, these mercenaries completely ignored Edwin, treating him as if he didn't exist.
Despite their differing stances and emotions, Sky simply didn't consider Edwin a human being.
Or rather, they didn't treat him like one of their own.
Since the mercenaries arrived, the villa has basically not entertained anyone else.
From initial slight discomfort, restraint, and vigilance to current familiarity and uninhibited behavior, these mercenaries gradually protected and enclosed this place as if it had just become their own beast's den.
But now, Edwin's sudden appearance makes Sky feel uneasy, as if his private territory has been invaded.
This is quite different from living with other mercenaries. Each of them treats their own room as a den, so the rest of the villa can be compared to a common water source on the prairie.
But it's still different, or at least a little different. Looking at Edwin, Sky said incredulously, "You mean he's staying here tonight??"
His voice rose, filled with incomprehension, "Doesn't he have anywhere else to live? Why does he have to stay at your house!"
Tang Tang glanced at him and said, "Don't you live here too?"
Sky shouted, “Of course it’s different! Land and I are homeless! We’ll stay with you!”
He was like a puppy that had suddenly seen a stranger in its own home. His round eyes, which were originally fierce with their whites showing, were now staring at him, making him look inexplicably pitiful.
Tang Tang's heart softened, and she reached out to pat his head. "Aren't you ashamed to throw a tantrum here?"
Sky glared at Tang Tang, but it had no effect whatsoever.
