Chapter 866 I Beg You, Take Me Away

  Inside the castle, Bo Ang wheeled himself into the first-floor medical room. He saw many people standing there, mostly Booker's subordinates.

  "What happened to Paul?" Bo Ang clumsily pushed his wheelchair, squeezing to the front of the crowd to ask.

  Inside, Jaden, the Speaker of Panama City's Legislative Council, turned and said to the crowd, "He probably just ate something dirty, food poisoning. I'm going to the city center to check the financial accounts. Let him ride in my car; I'll take him to the hospital."

  Recently, a small number of key members of Booker's political faction had been working at the Bernardo Manor. There were two reasons for this: first, to dispel Tagu's suspicions, showing that Booker's faction was following the lead of the eldest brother; second, it was also a public announcement that the eldest and second sons had joined forces, preparing to stick together and secure political power.

  Therefore, in this castle, there were not only the Speaker of the Legislative Council but also some members of parliament.

  Of course, besides Booker, Jaden was definitely the highest-ranking person.

  The scope of the Legislative Council's authority was actually not as simple as the name implied. In addition to studying the laws of the entire administrative region, this department also had the power to supervise government accounts, government decisions, and parliamentary work. It was a department with immense power. Jaden was also the second most important administrative figure after the old Chief Nick and the new Acting Chief Booker.

  "Take him to my car," Jaden instructed, turning to leave. "Everyone, continue working!"

  Bo Ang looked at Jaden's back, then at his little nephew being carried out. Sweat inexplicably trickled down his forehead.

  ...

  Inside the Blackwater Legion's headquarters, Tagu was currently discussing the evening's meeting with the head of the Yolson family with his staff.

  At the head of the conference table, Tagu rested his chin in his hand, saying in a calm voice, "Pussen is a greedy fellow. Ordinary conditions won't satisfy his demands. Tonight, you can appropriately raise the price, don't give him a chance to hesitate."

  "Yes, General!" the person next to him nodded in response.

  "Ring, ring, ring!"

  A phone rang, Tagu looked down at his phone and pressed the answer button, "Hello?"

  "General, Paul is sick and needs to go to the hospital immediately," the butler's voice sounded.

  Tagu frowned, "What's wrong with him?"

  "It's like this, sir. I had the family doctor examine him. Preliminary judgment is that it's probably food poisoning," the butler replied immediately. "Our equipment is limited, he needs to go to the hospital."

  Tagu was silent for a moment, then suddenly asked, "Where's Bo Ang?"

  "Oh, he's fine. I saw him in the corridor just now."

  "Let him go then."

  "Okay, Mr. Tagu." The butler hung up the phone.

  Tagu sat in his chair, thought for a moment, got up and walked into the small lounge next door, lowered his head and dialed the phone of a head servant at home.

  "Respected General Tagu, what are your orders?"

  "Does Paul have food poisoning?" Tagu asked directly.

  "Yes, he was playing soccer... suddenly he fainted and went into shock." The head servant immediately responded, "I was on the scene when Dr. Jason was examining him. It doesn't look like he was faking it."

  Tagu paused for a moment: "Are the politicians Booker brought alright?"

  "Everything is normal."

  "Okay, I understand." Tagu hung up the phone and walked back to the conference table, "Gentlemen, let's continue our previous topic."

  ...

  Bernardo Manor, after the small incident of Paul's sudden illness, the butler took the servants and carried him outside.

  Inside the office area, Jaden hurriedly instructed the staff and prepared to leave, without even taking his assistant.

  "Squeak, squeak!"

  In the slightly dark corridor, Bo Ang hurriedly pushed his wheelchair, chasing after Jaden, "Mr. Jaden, Speaker!"

  Hearing the sound, Jaden turned his head, smiling at Bo Ang, "What's the matter?"

  Bo Ang maneuvered his wheelchair to Jaden's side, looking up at him with a sweaty forehead and a pale face.

  Jaden looked at him strangely, "What happened? You look flustered, are you feeling unwell?"

  "Pa!"

  Bo Ang suddenly reached out and grabbed Jaden's wrist: "Was... was Paul really food poisoned?"

  "Of course, you should have seen it. The health doctor examined him." Jaden frowned and asked, "Is there a problem?"

  "Mr. Speaker... I... I don't know what's happening outside, but... but please take me with you, okay?" Bo Ang seemed very agitated. His already twisted features looked even more awkward at the moment, showing his urgency: "He... he promised me, he would... he would take me away with him!"

  "I'm sorry, I don't understand what you're saying."

  "..." Bo Ang grabbed Jaden's wrist tightly: "Paul... Paul secretly took medicine, right?"

  Jaden was stunned on the spot when he heard this.

  "...Take... take me with you! I don't want to face Tagu alone... please!" Bo Ang squeezed the other's wrist: "I... I won't affect your plan... I'm just a poor disabled person... He and I are brothers!"

  "I'm really sorry, I don't understand what you mean at all." Jaden shook his head: "Perhaps you're thinking too complicatedly."

  "I'm not...!"

  Jaden looked around, reached out with his other hand, and forcefully pried open Bo Ang's fingers. Then he bent down and said, "Tagu is also your brother, you share the same blood. He will take good care of you. I have things to deal with, so that's it."

  "No, don't do this...!" Bo Ang pleaded bitterly, "Take me away with you, I beg you!"

  "Shua!"

  Jaden suddenly shook off Bo Ang's hand, then suddenly bent down and said, "My dear Bo Ang, sometimes being a fool isn't so bad."

  Bo Ang was stunned.

  "Don't say too much, or you might hurt yourself." Jaden glanced at Bo Ang with a gloomy look, reached out to tidy up his clothes, and then quickly left.

  "Mr. Speaker, please wait for me...!" Bo Ang pushed his wheelchair, trying to catch up.

  Jaden quickly left the corridor, walking outwards while taking out his phone and dialing a number.

  "Hello, Mr. Speaker!"

  "Lock Bo Ang in his own room, and don't let him out before tomorrow morning," Jaden instructed, bending down to get into his car, and said to the driver, "Let's go."

  In the back seat, Paul, who was only ten years old, lay on the seat and asked Jaden, "Aren't we taking that idiot with us?"

  In the dark corridor, Bo Ang sat blankly in his wheelchair, before he could recover, he was forcibly pushed upstairs by four soldiers.

  ...

  Around six o'clock in the evening, a car arrived at the Lundo Hotel. Su Tiannan sat in the car and whispered, "Scout it out one more time and wait for the target to appear."
