Before Ethan could respond, Tang Li asked again, "Those bed photos were photoshopped by others, right?"
Tang Li’s reaction was unexpected to Ethan.
He was surprised that Tang Li still stubbornly believed that he ca from a prominent family.
The girl stood in front of the hospital bed, her eyes slightly red, biting her lip, seemingly entangled.
After the anesthesia, Ethan was in pain all over.
Seeing the innocent look of Tang Li, like a harmless rabbit, his thoughts ca alive again.
He hadn’t forgotten the words that slipped from the henchman’s mouth.
It was Lai Shengxia who had ordered people to kill him.
With his identity exposed, Lai Shengxia probably feared being implicated and simply decided to have him killed.
In today’s legal society, she carried out the act of hiring a murderer so blatantly.
At this point, Ethan knew he would never get the money Lai Shengxia promised him, and he had even lost two million.
Those two million were ticulously collected debts.
When he returns to Las Vegas, if the money is not compensated, the consequences are unimaginable.
Unless he could provide sothing for debt repaynt.
To him, Tang Li was unquestionably the best option.
Thus, he nodded along with Tang Li’s words, "Indeed, soone maliciously fabricated it. I suspect it was my older brother. He must have known about my situation in Country S and orchestrated this conspiracy to ruin my reputation and bring disgrace..."
"Slap—!"
Before he could finish, another slap ca.
Ethan’s left cheek swelled from the slap.
He held his painfully hot cheek, not understanding why he was hit again. Tang Li’s voice ca through, "Careless! That slap was to remind you."
Ethan: "...!!"
Tang Li then said, "Let’s call the police!"
Hearing this, Ethan looked up at her.
"I suspect this is an assassination, surely done by your older brother. Not only did he slander you online, but he also wanted soone to kill you." Tang Li was righteously indignant, her eyes full of sympathy as she looked at Ethan’s bandaged body, "He doesn’t care about brotherly love, why should we hesitate? Let’s report the case to the police first, then go to the United States embassy in the Capital to accuse him!"
After saying that, Tang Li sat down by the bed, "I am an artist with millions of followers after all. Ethan, write a statent. You dictate and I’ll write. Once it’s done, I’ll post it on V-blog—it’s ti to put so public pressure on your older brother."
Ethan: "........."
Tang Li was action-oriented and had already taken out her cellphone.
"No!" Ethan imdiately stopped her, "This is our family matter, it’s not good to make it public. Even if my brother doesn’t care about brotherly love, I can’t be like him."
"Are we just going to let it go?"
Tang Li frowned.
Ethan didn’t dare to call the police or issue a statent. Even if Lai Shengxia wanted him dead, their deeds couldn’t withstand scrutiny. Once the police got involved, it would only make things worse. Going to the consulate was a death wish!
Tang Li stood up, "Then I’ll go buy you so food."
After a while, Ethan got up to use the bathroom.
When he ca out of the restroom, the door of the sickroom was slamd open. In the corridor, several nacing-looking n were dragging a patient, asking, "Have you seen a foreigner?"
Seeing this, Ethan broke out in cold sweat.
He retreated into the bathroom, quickly closed the door and locked it!
Tang Li ca back with a bag of breakfast. Not seeing anyone on the hospital bed, she headed to the restroom. Ethan had already opened the door, with only one thought in his mind: "Discharge, I must leave the hospital imdiately!"
