Chapter 551 I Did Nothing Wrong

Jiang Tiantong seems to have a somewhat cold personality, but in fact, she is the most thoughtful woman Tang Shuo has ever known. Even his senior sister is slightly inferior to her in this respect.

Tang Shuo knew that this reason could not be hidden from Jiang Tiantong at all, and his busyness during this period should have aroused the other party's suspicion.

After giving a bitter laugh, Tang Shuo shook his head and replied, "I still have something to deal with. Let's talk about the wedding date after this is over!"

Jiang Tiantong frowned. After a moment of silence, he said, "Is it okay not to go?"

"no."

Tang Shuo replied, but seemed to feel that his tone was not firm enough, so he added again: "I have to go for this matter!"

"Okay, I'll wait for you to come back and marry me!"

Jiang Tiantong didn't ask what the other party was talking about. She nodded and said, "If you can't come back, I will help you take care of them."

As soon as he finished speaking, Jiang Tiantong turned around and walked towards the boarding gate.

“…”

Looking at Jiang Tiantong's charming figure, Tang Shuo sighed with guilt, turned around and left the airport.

…

A manor somewhere in London.

Todd Lawrence leaned against the bed in a listless state and whispered to the person next to him, "Have the results been tallied?"

"It's out."

A middle-aged man standing nearby nodded and said, "Phil's market value has evaporated by over 12 billion US dollars due to malicious manipulation."

"Let's sell all the stocks we have!"

Todd seemed to have predicted this outcome. He nodded slowly and said, "It's not just Tang Shuo who's targeting our Lawrence family now. If we try to hold on, we'll only suffer greater losses."

As the saying goes, a centipede dies but its legs remain stiff.

For the Lawrence family, although they suffered a near-destructive blow this time, due to their inherent strength, it was impossible for them to be completely defeated in one fell swoop.

Similarly, because the impact this time was too great, it would be almost impossible for the Lawrence family to return to its previous level without more than a hundred years of development. Of course, this is also the fastest development path.

In order to make up for the huge financial deficit, the Lawrence family now has to sell some of its industries and reduce the scale of the industries so that the family can survive temporarily.

But Todd knew full well that the time he spent at home would be a cold winter for the family. Even if Tang Shuo let him go at this time, there would probably be many other forces eager to rush in and tear a piece of his flesh apart.

Waving his hand to signal the middle-aged man to step back, Todd looked at Jimmy and Roy standing in front of him.

These two people can be said to be the culprits of the impact on the family. First, Jimmy wanted to prove himself, so he chose a very radical way, but ended up falling into the enemy's trap step by step.

Roy later concealed the fact that Phil Group had been hit, and only reported it when the situation was irreversible.

According to family rules, the mistakes these two people made were almost enough to be punished by death, but Todd did not do so. He only let the two of them reflect for a day.

It's not that he doesn't want to, but he simply has no choice!

Carl, the first to die, was considered a mediocre person among his sons. Although not as smart as Jimmy, he was more stable. Therefore, he was chosen as his successor from the beginning.

As for Jimmy, he is the type who is too smart and thus a little conceited.

Roy is the kind of person who is good at using some small tricks and is a bit greedy and reckless.

Although these three men have various flaws, they are much better than the remaining two sons who only know how to spend their time in debauchery.

Even without considering family ties, Todd would never choose to take action against his two sons at this time, because he simply had no choice.

He now only hoped that the two guys would learn from their mistakes and try to remember what happened today in their future lives.

"How are you two reflecting?" Todd asked in a deep voice.

"I've been thinking about this a lot lately."

Roy, the eldest brother, was the first to respond: "If something like this happens again in the future, I will definitely give it more consideration."

Todd nodded slowly, looked at Jimmy and said, "What about you?"

"I didn't do anything wrong!" Jimmy's eyes flashed with resentment. He looked coldly at Todd on the bed and said, "If you hadn't indirectly wanted to use this to test me from the beginning, I wouldn't have done such a thing!"

Jimmy's voice was not loud, but it was like thunder, making Todd shiver on the bed.

He looked at Jimmy in shock, never expecting that his son had always held such an opinion. Roy, standing aside, smiled a meaningful sneer after hearing Jimmy's words.

From a certain perspective, what Jimmy said is actually not wrong.

When he came to London and got involved in this matter, it can be said that he had no way out.

Todd completely treated this matter as an assessment and gave it to him to deal with. All he could do at the time was to keep thinking of various ways to complete the task, which led to a bunch of messy things happening afterwards.

"You..." Todd pointed at Jimmy and was about to curse him, but because he couldn't catch his breath, his chest began to heave violently.

Roy sneered and winked at Jimmy.

Jimmy hesitated for a moment, glanced at Roy's face, then walked directly to Todd, took out a towel that he had prepared long ago, and blocked Todd's mouth and nose tightly.

This was something he had decided to do a long time ago. Ever since that incident, Jimmy knew clearly that he had no chance of taking over the family, and the next heir to the family was most likely Roy.

Instead of continuing to waste time, it would be better to show his sincerity as soon as possible, so he took the initiative to show goodwill to Roy.

As for killing Todd, this was a test of his sincerity.

Although he was struggling in his heart, Jimmy quickly agreed to it, and causing the other party to have an asthma attack was his preliminary preparation.

Once Todd dies, as long as he can lie dormant for a few years, the family may be back in his hands again!

Todd's health was not good to begin with, and what had happened recently had made his condition even worse.

He had already realized that he could die at any time, but he never thought that he would die at the hands of his own son, not to mention that the other party was his most beloved son.

Todd barely struggled before he died. Jimmy acted as if nothing had happened. He turned to Roy calmly and said, "Brother, call them in now. I'll explain everything to them myself!"

Jimmy had discussed some details of this matter with Roy a few days ago, so at this time he was acting completely according to plan!

Roy glanced at Todd's body, then turned to look at Jimmy and slowly shook his head, "No need?"

"Huh?" Jimmy looked at Roy puzzledly and asked, "What's wrong?"

"Do you think I would dare to cooperate with someone who dared to kill his own father with no guilt at all?"

As he spoke, Roy pulled out a gun from his body and pointed it directly at Jimmy.

A trace of panic flashed across Jimmy's face, and he hurriedly said, "If you kill me, how will you explain what happened here to the outsiders? Don't forget, my father hasn't signed the will yet. If I don't help you perjure yourself, who will believe you?"

Bang……

As soon as Jimmy finished speaking, a burst of gunfire rang out in the room. Jimmy looked at Roy in silence, as if he had forgotten to act. He had never thought that he would have the courage to do such a thing.

Roy glanced at his bleeding arm with a grim expression, then turned back to Jimmy and said, "I think we have evidence now!"

Jimmy glared at Roy, then suddenly looked down at Todd, who was already dead on the bed.

In a trance, he seemed to feel that the corner of Todd's mouth moved.

Is the other person making fun of you?
