Chapter 288 Tang Ziyan Eats Her Own Bitter Fruit

Chapter 288 Tang Ziyan Eats Her Own Bitter Fruit

Liang Ruifang grips his right hand hard in his pocket. There is a bottle of high-concentration sulfuric acid in it. In order to avoid spilling it on his hand, he also prepares thick gloves.

Tang Duo is escorted by bodyguards to get into the car, but suddenly five or six women with children rush out. They put the children on the ground and begin to cry.

“Have mercy on us! We haven’t eaten for a day!”

The children pounce on the bodyguards, clinging to their legs. Bodyguards don’t dare to beat the children. At that time, the scene is extremely chaotic. The two bodyguards supporting Tang Duo are held by two women who rush in. They are protecting Tang Duo with one hand and pushing the women with the other.

No one notices that a man is getting closer and closer to Tang Duo on the side and finally stands beside Tang Duo.

Tang Duo wears a sunglass and her eyes can’t be seen. But apparently she is very flustered. She probably finds Liang Ruifang and wants to pull her arm out of her bodyguards’ hands and run away. How can Liang Ruifang miss such a good opportunity? He opens the lid and pours the sulfuric acid over her.

The bodyguards suddenly dodge away at the moment when sulfuric acid is poured over, but the sunglass on Tang Duo’s face is quickly corroded and her whole face becomes bloody.

“Hiss hiss hiss...” It is unknown whether the sulfuric acid flows into her mouth and corrodes her throat. Tang Duo’s voice has changed, making the hearers tremble with fear. Her hands are also stained with sulfuric acid, and she falls to the ground, waving wildly. Her body keeps convulsing, and she cries in a monster-like low hum.

“Ah ah ah!” Those women begging are frightened, and the children cry with fright. Liang Ruifang is caught by the bodyguards. He looks at the painful Tang Duo who rolls on the ground and also shows a look of fear.

He keeps saying, “You don’t blame me. Don’t blame me...”

The ambulance arrives and Tang Duo is carried onto the ambulance. Liang Ruifang is taken to the police station, and the women begging are also taken back. Some passer-by gets this shot and soon posts on the Internet. Countless people forwards it. Everyone condemns the one who poured sulfuric acid, and incidentally imagines love and hatred.

“I told you not to watch.” In a car not far away, Lang Ruoxian rubs Yan Hua’s head.

Yan Hua takes a sip of water to help her get over a shock and then stares at him. “You didn’t even tell me in advance. It was too sudden.”

She was taken away from the back by the bodyguards and saw Tang Ziyan be taken out by bodyguards, wearing her clothes and sunglass. From beginning to end, Tang Ziyan said nothing and did not struggle.

“Because her throat was drugged, she could not speak for a short time. The inability to move was also due to weak limbs and flaccid hands and feet after taking the medicine.” Lang Ruoxian starts the car. “Let’s go home. The rest will be left to the first branch to deal with.”

When Tang Ming receives the phone call, he even neglects the meeting and heads for the hospital. Tang Jie has already been there, looking pale.

“How is your sister?” Tang Ming did not expect his daughter to be disfigured. “Where’s the man who poured the sulfuric acid?”

“Ziyan is still in surgery. And the criminal is in the police station.” Tang Jie helps him to sit down. “The operation will take a long time. Dad, or you go back first?”

Tang Ming waves his hand. “I will stay here. You go to the police station. No matter what the reason is, I want the man who poured the sulfuric acid to stay in prison all his life.”

The news reports the vicious case that night, but doesn’t mention the identity and name of the female victim. But it is unknown when it is spread in the upper-class circles that Tang Ziyan is the one who was disfigured.

“Oh, my God!” In the house of Hua Family, Hua Yating’s mother is frightened. “Yating, you should stay at home and goes back your own home until Tang Rui comes back.”

Since Tang Rui went to Mi Country to cure his legs, Hua Yating has returned to her parents’ house. Huo Liyun also suggested that she come back, otherwise there would be no one to take care of her and her baby.

“It’s too terrible.” Hua Yating also puts down her mobile phone. “Although Tang Ziyan is willful and has a bad temper, but at ordinary times she doesn’t offend others. Ah, how did this happen...”

The same conversation appears at the dinner tables of many rich and powerful families. A long time after that incident, those darling daughters and playboys have kept on the rails, fearing that they would be poured sulfuric acid on the street.

Tang Family’s house.

“Did the criminal confess?” Bai Susu asks.

Lang Ruoxian puts down the phone. “Liang Ruifang has confessed everything. The police are investigating the phone number that contacted him.”

“It won’t be long before Tang Ziyan is found.”

Tang Cao asks. “The phone card she used must have been thrown away long ago, right?”

At present, all phone cards need to be bought with personal ID cards. Tang Ziyan’s phone card was purchased through the Internet. It is not difficult to find Tang Ziyan as long as they find out who originally owned this number and check the records of transaction.

“Uncle will guess that we did it.” Yan Hua looks at Lang Ruoxian. “Will he come to us...”

Tang Yao waves his fist. “That’s right! Let him have a look at my fitness achievement during this period.”

Because of Tang Ming’s pressure, the police almost investigate overnight, and have a result before dawn. But when they see the result, they all think that it is mistaken and hands it over to Tang Jie after repeated confirmation.

“Are you sure that you’re not mistaken?” Tang Jie knew something was wrong as early as when he heard from Liang Ruifang that the person he planned to pour sulfuric acid at was Tang Duo. But it’s beyond his imagination that the person hired Liang Ruifang to do so is Tang Ziyan.

“We have confirmed several times. It is not mistaken...” Sweat trickles down the police chief’s forehead. He vaguely guesses something, but he doesn’t dare to involve in this kind of gratitude and resentment among rich and powerful family members. “Childe Tang, we will directly sentence Liang Ruifang to life imprisonment, and the rest...”

“The rest has nothing to do with you.” Tang Jie leaves with the information.

In the hospital, Tang Ziyan is pushed out, with a thick layer of gauze wrapped around her head and hands. The doctor tells Tang Ming that fortunately sulfuric acid did not enter her mouth. She wore sunglass at that time so her eyes were not hurt.

“As for the face and hands... When the wounds are healed, we will arrange her to go abroad for cosmetic surgery as soon as possible, but there is little possibility of restoring her look completely before. We can only say that we will try our best to restore it.”

Tang Ziyan lies in a hospital bed and hasn’t awaken. Tang Jie pushes the door and comes in to show Tang Ming the information given by the police station.

“Nonsense! This is a load of nonsense!” After reading it, Tang Ming tears up the information excitedly. “How can Ziyan ruin her own face? How is it possible?”

Tang Jie glances at his sister lying there. “Dad, Ziyan originally wanted to harm Tang Duo.”

“Then how can the victim become herself? How...” Tang Ming suddenly stops talking and his pupils dilate. Then his expression becomes very ferocious and his eyes become cruel. “It is the second branch. They must have played tricks.”

At midnight, Yan Hua hears someone ring the doorbell. She moves and is about to get up when Lang Ruoxian holds her down.

“It must be Tang Ming. You don’t have to go downstairs.”

“I’d better go!” Yan Hua yawns. “I want to hear what he will say.”

Soon everyone gathers in the sitting room, except the two little children. Even Tang Cao is sitting in his wheelchair, staring at incoming Tang Ming with eagle-like eyes.

“Lang Ruoxian, is that you?” Tang Ming goes straight to Lang Ruoxian and points at him. “Did you harm my daughter?”

“Uncle, why did you say so?” Tang Cao yawns. “What happened to Ziyan?”

Tang Yao says discontentedly. “I say, brother, why do you come to my home at midnight? Even if Ziyan cried with anger or quarreled with someone, you cannot come to question us at midnight.”

“Stop pretending.” Tang Ming looks at those people coldly. “Ziyan was poured sulfuric acid and disfigured.”

Lang Ruoxian looks surprised. “What? Is that woman who was disfigured her today?”

Chang Pei’e is aged. She has some headache because of being woken up at midnight. She rubs her eyebrows and asks, “I just thought that something was wrong when Ruoxian and Hua came back today. Something really did happen. How did Ziyan also get involved?”

“Mom, they didn’t tell you because they were afraid that you would be worried.” Bai Susu says. “During this period of time, the bodyguards found that someone had been stalking Hua. This afternoon, when Hua was at the beauty salon, the person was waiting across the street.”

“The bodyguards secretly asked the cafe’s attendants. They said that there seemed to be something in the man’s pocket, so the bodyguards thought it was harmful according to experience.”

Chang Pei’e frowns. “Then why is it related to Ziyan again?”

“This is my fault.” Lang Ruoxian interrupts. “But I didn’t know it was Tang Ziyan.”

Tang Ming sneers. “Are you kidding me?”

“I really don’t know.” Lang Ruoxian spreads out his hands. “I received a report from the bodyguards and was very anxious to rush over, but I was afraid that something bad would happen to Hua. So I asked the bodyguards to find someone in the beauty salon whose body shape was about the same as Hua to entice the man out.”

“I just said that he had been following Hua for a long time. Since he was going to take actions, I planned to catch him.” Lang Ruoxian glances at Yan Hua. “But I didn’t expect that bodyguards temporarily found a scapegoat who turned out to be Tang Ziyan...”

Tang Ming shivers with anger and Tang Jie who runs after him runs in. “Dad! Are you okay, Dad?”

“Ruoxian, you are in a muddle about this matter.” Chang Pei’e opens her mouth. “How can you risk the life of a stranger? Even your aim is to save Hua, but it is wrong!”

Yan Hua sits down in front of Chang Pei’e and obediently calls grandma. “He was trying to save me...”

“I am such a person.” Lang Ruoxian smiles. “I don’t care who I sacrifice to protect my love.” He looks at Tang Ming. “Uncle can call the police to arrest me. It has nothing to do with my parents and grandma.”

How can Tang Ming believe it? He covers his chest and can’t catch his breath for a long time. Suddenly he rolls his eyes around and faints.

“Oh! Call an ambulance quickly!” Tang Cao says in a tone of schadenfreude. Tang Jie glances at him.

Tang Yao has already called 120. Bai Susu takes out a pill of quick acting heart reliever and asks Tang Jie to press it under Tang Ming’s tongue.

“Uncle, Aunt.” Tang Jie looks at those people in the second branch with a complicated expression. “My dad can’t have an accident now, or it’s not good for everyone, right?”

Chang Pei’e sighs. “Of course, he can’t have an accident. Tell him well when he wakes up. I’m sorry about what happened to Ziyan. If you really want us to take the responsibility, as Ruoxian just said, call the police!”

“Let’s wait until my dad wakes up!” Tang Jie bows his head.

He was just suspicious before, but now he can be sure what happened to Tang Ziyan was planned by the second branch, or Lang Ruoxian arranged it from beginning to end. Call the police? His father absolutely dare not. Once the police investigate, Tang Ziyan will be found to be the person who paid an outlaw to pour the sulfuric acid. Now she just eats her own bitter fruit...
