Chapter 1261 Fanning the flames
Chapter 1261 Fanning the flames
But politics is a dirty thing, that's a fact, and there's nothing we can do about it.
While dealing with the FBI's rambling and illogical questions, she mentally asked the system, "There must be a reason for targeting me without any provocation."
"Why did they do this so sooner or later? I don't believe I'm really that unlucky. Since they've already investigated it thoroughly, why are they still trying to drag me into it? There must be something wrong."
Yes, the accusation of treason against Edwin came from another professor in the same research field, whose motive for the accusation was to disqualify Edwin from winning the award.
The evidence against Edwin for treason wasn't the host, but rather the possibility that some of the pharmaceuticals exported from Edwin's private laboratory involved controlled substances.
In short, this has nothing to do with you. The reason it's related to you is because you were also reported.
"?"
Speechless, she silently questioned in her mind, "What the hell?"
[Calling it a report might not be the most accurate... Could you consider it a form of exclusion? Bullying? Or perhaps a test?]
Because the first-generation anti-cancer drug was so miraculously developed, the Telos laboratory was so mysterious, and Tang Yu was so unyielding, this convenient excuse attracted many people to try their luck.
[The mastermind behind this, who could even be said to have actively intervened, is the host of the banquet you are about to attend—Reginald Croft, the chairman of Noah Pharmaceuticals.]
Alright, it turns out to be that old scoundrel.
Tang Tang remained calm, but in her mind she said to the system, "This old bastard Deng has already found a way to die."
After asking a series of trivial questions, the two FBI agents on the other side seemed to feel that they had laid enough groundwork and began to tentatively ask some of the questions that had just been mentioned.
Once Tang Tang understood their purpose, she decided not to bother arguing with them any longer.
So she simply went along with it, spouting some nonsensical nonsense so that the two FBI agents would have something to report.
As for anything more in-depth, she naturally wouldn't say a word.
Clearly, the two people opposite them weren't fools either.
They were all just working for capitalists, and once they understood Tang Tang's attitude, they immediately changed their attitude as well. With their swift cooperation, the matter was resolved very quickly.
Finally, Tang Tang gave a very official smile and said, "Of course I like the American District. If I didn't like it here, I wouldn't have come here to study and live."
“Of course, I understand what happened today,” Tang Tang said readily as she signed the confidentiality agreement, then stood up and asked, “So, what about Edwin…?”
“Professor Edwin’s side is not our responsibility,” one of them said in return, “but I’m sure it won’t be a big problem. After all, Professor Edwin is an outstanding scientist in our country.”
Tang Tang nodded casually, and was then led away. The FBI agents even thoughtfully took her back to Lighthouse Hill.
Tang Tang did not refuse, but after she got out of the car, her gaze as she watched the departing vehicle was ambiguous.
Hearing the commotion, the mercenaries asked in confusion, "Is that an FBI vehicle?"
“Yes,” Tang Tang sneered as she entered the villa with them. “This is really interesting… I just came out of the FBI.”
"How did you end up in the FBI?" Sky exclaimed in shock, but his face was still filled with obvious worry. "Did you kill someone from the FBI?"
Tang Tang casually patted his head, only to find it empty, filled with water.
"Am I some kind of psychopathic killer who kills anyone he sees?" she muttered to herself as she walked away, tossing her bag to Tang Xiao, then her coat to King, who was standing nearby. She even kicked off her shoes, stepped onto the carpet, and sat down on the sofa.
Clearly, she was quite unhappy.
Niu Niu, who was sleeping on the sofa, was now lying on her pink belly, while the already very big and beautiful white tiger was rubbing its big head against Tang Tang and acting cute.
She casually picked up its big head and petted the cat, finally feeling a bit better.
To be honest, now that she has reached this status and social class, very few people would dare to anger Tang Tang.
She usually seemed nonchalant or somewhat indifferent, so this was practically the first time the mercenaries had ever seen her so openly angry.
Inevitably, everyone was very worried.
"Hey, so what exactly did you do? Those FBI rats didn't do anything to you, did they?"
Sky kept muttering, "If all else fails, we'll help you destroy the evidence."
Although you're a bit clumsy, you're a really nice person.
Tang Tang was too lazy to repeat herself, so she simply had the system tell Tang Xiao what happened and let Tang Xiao say it.
After hearing Tang Xiao's words, everyone else was shocked.
"He's making things difficult for you? Noah Pharmaceuticals?"
"Fine, you old bastard Deng."
"What are you going to do?"
Is there anything I can help you with?
"..."
Hearing their words, Tang Tang finally smiled a little after her expressionless face. "Alright, you're making it sound like I've suffered some great injustice."
In reality, she didn't suffer much injustice. Even when she went to the FBI, she was the one giving them attitude the whole way back.
“It’s different,” King said. “To us, anything you don’t want to do is considered a grievance.”
“That’s right,” the mercenaries said, unusually avoiding a verbal altercation and instead forming a united front. “As long as it’s not your will, then it’s all the same to us.”
"I really need to teach him a lesson," Tang Tang muttered to herself, "otherwise he'll think I'm easy to bully."
Once she makes a decision, she doesn't hesitate, especially...
A gleam suddenly appeared on Tang Tang's face. She said, "Since he schemed against me and got me into the FBI, I definitely have to give him a taste of his own medicine."
"Most importantly, the banquet hasn't even started yet, I haven't been there, and I don't know that old scoundrel Reginald at all."
Since she doesn't know him, he shouldn't be blamed on her for his recent accident, right?
Even if he went to the police and said he suspected Tang Tang... what grounds did he have for suspicion? Reginald couldn't possibly admit that he had been involved in the FBI's machinations.
"Since that old guy Reginald likes to stir up trouble so much, let's just make him lose all his teeth."
Tang Tang chuckled, "Not a single one left. Don't you like to talk? I'll let him talk..."
"Tsk tsk, I like this suggestion. I suggest you make it more important, otherwise he will be more wary if you try to do it again after you've succeeded once."
"Break his legs?" Sky asked eagerly. "One or two?"
Ghost rarely agreed with Sky, saying, "Not bad."
Tang Tang retorted with a hint of sarcasm, "My leg can't be broken; I'm still waiting for his banquet."
