Chapter 1275 Reginald Falls to the Ground
Chapter 1275 Reginald Falls to the Ground
The banquet certainly couldn't have been personally overseen by that old Reginald.
The entire banquet was organized by someone, and Esther quickly found the person in charge, who then brought other staff members to reassure the guests.
The remaining security guards and Tang Tang and the others walked towards the back garden, and soon they saw a woman sitting on the ground.
She was wearing the uniform of a banquet staff member, and there was broken red wine and fruit scattered at her feet. She had obviously lost her grip in the shock and fallen to the ground, along with her belongings.
Hearing footsteps, she quickly turned around, and upon seeing many people and security guards, she stammered, "There are people! I saw someone fall in front of me—"
Tang Tang immediately led her people forward, and a security guard helped the woman up. "What happened? Why did you come to the garden?"
After regaining her composure, the woman replied, "A guest asked me to bring a bottle of red wine to the back garden. When I arrived, I saw someone lying in the grass with one foot sticking out."
That's right, Tang Tang saw it too.
In one relatively high section of the garden, the flowerbeds were trampled into a mess. Two feet, belonging to someone in a suit, were sticking out from the edge of the flowerbeds, indicating that someone had fallen there.
I don't know if they are alive or dead, or what the situation is.
Instead of acting rashly, she stood a short distance away and asked, "Should we call the police? Or what should we do?"
Alexander hesitated, "Oh...maybe we should check if he's alright first. What if he's injured and needs first aid? If we wait for the police, it might be too late."
Of course, some people disagreed, saying, "But if we rush over there, we might destroy the clues at the scene!"
"Um...is this person Reginald?"
Ms. Esther Finch, standing to the side, frowned and pointed to the flowerbed and the figure half-hidden by the plants, saying, "Hmm... this build seems somewhat similar to Reginald's."
Indeed, although the person who fell to the ground was not fully exposed, judging from the legs and the shadows cast by the plants in Yawan, he seemed to be somewhat overweight.
Reginald.
How did Reginald end up here?
Tang Tang is indeed very puzzled. She did not expect that the old man Reginald had not appeared for so long because he had collapsed in the garden.
Why? She didn't attack him again. Was it because Reginald wasn't feeling well and accidentally fainted here... or because he was attacked again?
Tang Tang's expression wasn't good either. She had indeed sent King and the others to teach Reginald a lesson, but that was what Reginald deserved. Besides, King and the others had been very careful, and Reginald shouldn't have been in any serious trouble.
Tang Tang did not want Reginald to die now. If he died, Noah Pharmaceuticals would definitely experience a period of turmoil.
She has only just begun to develop her business in the US market, and the mutual restraint and hostility among the three major pharmaceutical companies is the best environment for her to develop.
Moreover, she still holds leverage over Reginald. Reginald can only provide her with benefits while he is alive; once he is dead, he is just a corpse, not even as useful as trash.
……
"Oh my god..."
Many people followed, and some had already covered their mouths.
Police and FBI agents arrived and were standing around with barricades in place, instructing people to carry the person out.
When they were carried out, everyone saw the huge hole in the back of Reginald's head, the blood soaking his entire suit jacket and neck.
Many timid people covered their mouths, some gasped in surprise, while others looked wary or worried, or were talking rapidly with a hint of excitement.
A doctor quickly followed to check the pulse, and then his face lit up with joy. "He's unconscious from blood loss! He's still alive! Get him to the ambulance immediately for emergency treatment!"
Many people were shocked by what the doctor said.
"Still alive?"
"Are you sure that's Mr. Reginald? Oh my goodness, was he attacked by thugs?"
"He must have been attacked. The wound on his head is horrible. The murderer might be at the banquet! We should go home as soon as possible."
However, the incident happened suddenly, and the FBI and SWAT teams were trying their best to control the situation and decided to take some statements on the spot.
Many people are not very satisfied with this.
Attending the banquet was one thing, but the person in charge of the banquet was injured and lying on the ground, and it was unclear whether it was a good or bad thing. He had already been taken away by ambulance.
The perpetrators of the attack have not yet been found, and it is extremely dangerous for them to remain here. Wealthy people value their lives highly, and many are now protesting, demanding that they be allowed to leave.
The FBI and SWAT teams were also in a dilemma. The injured Reginald was a well-known capitalist, and this matter couldn't be resolved so easily. But which of the banquet guests wasn't a tycoon and celebrity? They had no way to force these people.
In the end, it was Alexander and Esther who calmed the others down. As two of the three major pharmaceutical companies, these two were quite authoritative.
Tang Tang remained silent, controlling her expression to convey the same worry and anxiety as most people, and coldly watched Alexander and Esther take control of the situation.
Could it be the two of them? Probably not, they're not that stupid.
To be honest, Tang Tang didn't think Reginald was really stupid.
To be honest, the fact that he used the FBI to make things difficult for Tang Tang wasn't a big deal, because the FBI didn't do anything to Tang Tang. At most, they just wasted Tang Tang's time and made her feel uncomfortable for a few minutes.
If the system hadn't checked the FBI's records and done some research, Tang Tang would have had virtually no way of knowing that Reginald was the one instigating things.
Reginald was actually quite cautious. He didn't do anything special, just stirred things up and gave the FBI a little idea, suggesting they might question Tang Tang on their way.
He just wanted to vent his anger... Anyway, he didn't initially intend to have a public falling out with Tang Tang. He even planned to coax Tang Tang into getting benefits from Telos.
The reason he messed up was simply because he was too unlucky. He never expected that Tang Tang would have a system that could directly deduce the outcome from various clues.
In reality, Reginald was indeed arrogant, conceited, greedy, and lustful... but he was definitely not a good-for-nothing; a good-for-nothing could never become the head of Noah Pharmaceuticals.
Similarly, as Reginald's competitors, Alexander and Esther would obviously not have sent someone to do this to Reginald for no reason.
It's meaningless and pointless; it's simply not worth it.
Then the problem is coming.
Who exactly attacked Reginald? And what was their motive?
The fact that Reginald wasn't killed in one go suggests either that the person who did it was careless, or perhaps that person didn't intend to kill Reginald but just wanted to vent their anger.
