Chapter 522: Chapter 326, Please Son-in-law Kill Tang Fei! _2

They would never do the dirty and exhausting work themselves, and even blood would hardly splatter on them.

Yu Changan looked deeply at Phoenix, nodded, and said with a kind smile, "Go ahead, come back to visit when you have time."

"Okay." Phoenix nodded and followed closely behind Tang Fei as they left.

Yu Haoran saw Tang Fei and Phoenix walking away, walked up to Grandpa, and asked in a low voice, "Grandpa, are we just letting him go?"

Yu Changan looked at Yu Haoran and said irritably, "Didn’t you hear? The little girl has started threatening me... How can I not let them go?"

Yu Haoran looked thoughtful and asked his grandfather, "Grandpa, since you invited him over, why... why did you send him away again?"

From the time the caravan landed to the time they entered the door, it had been less than ten minutes, and they hadn’t even discussed a few sentences, not even entering the negotiation topic before Grandpa had sent them away.

This was out of character for Grandpa; he would not show his displeasure so obviously towards someone he disliked.

A mere glance, or even no hint at all, and the family knew how to deal with those he disliked.

Yu Changan was silent for a moment then said, "The young man is very dangerous."

Yu Haoran was stunned and said incredulously, "Dangerous?"

He knew there were many dangerous people in the world.

But there were only a few who could be defined by the old man as "dangerous."

Such as the one from the Phoenix Palace, the one on White Crane Mountain, the one from Wujizhou...

Could Tang Fei possibly be ranked alongside these people? What danger could he potentially bring to the Yu Family?

"Didn’t you notice? Although he’s trying hard to hide it, he subtly sowed discord between us and the Royal Family," Yu Changan said.

Yu Haoran nodded and replied, "I see. He said those things just to let us know... he’s merely a knife. But we have to guess who the one wielding the knife is."

"That’s his cunning. We can argue he’s just shooting his mouth off, shirking responsibility. But what if?"

"Grandpa, are you worried about what those above us are thinking?"

Yu Changan nodded and said, "Zhuge has been cautious all his life, better safe than sorry. The Yu Family has stood firm for a century, closely related to the Royal Family... It’s appropriate to have more concerns."

"Yet, if those above really intend to use the Yu Family as their knife, then Tang Fei is warning us... why does Grandpa feel he is dangerous?"

"Taking a stance," Yu Changan said.

"Taking a stance?"

"Yes and no, nor is it even more so," Yu Changan said emphatically. "We need to have confidence in the Royal Family, and even more so in the King. No matter what... they will not target our Yu Family."

Yu Haoran suddenly realized and said, "I understand."

"Have the car prepared," Yu Changan ordered.

"Where does Grandpa want to go?"

"To the Phoenix Palace." Yu Changan looked up at the sky and said softly, "He must have been waiting for a while."

"Yes, Grandpa."

Inside the Flying Car, the atmosphere was tense.

Tang Fei looked at the Court Etiquette Officer sitting in the passenger seat and wished he could kick her out.

The head of the Imperial Guard was personally protecting the Princess’s safety, what else was there to worry about?

With so many people in the same car, didn’t you feel cramped?

Unfortunately, facing the etiquette officer’s unreasonable demands, even Phoenix couldn’t say much, let alone Tang Fei.

Officially speaking, the etiquette officer was responsible for the Princess’s appearance and demeanor when she was traveling, and for preventing any incidents that could damage the Princess’s reputation.

Such as riding in the same car with Tang Fei, her rumored boyfriend.

If that fierce-looking old woman truly strongly objected, Tang Fei really couldn’t stay here without leaving.

Phoenix looked at Tang Fei, her face apologetic, and said, "Tang Fei, I’m sorry..."

"It’s okay," Tang Fei said. "They don’t like me; it’s not you who likes me. What do you have to apologize for?"

"But, you were invited by me..." Phoenix said in a low voice.

Actually, Phoenix had selfish reasons for inviting Tang Fei over.

She knew her father would never approve of her relationship with Tang Fei.

In his eyes, she clearly had greater political or economic value.

Hence, Phoenix thought of bringing Tang Fei before her grandfather to see if he would like him as well.

If her grandfather also liked Tang Fei and spoke on their behalf before her father, then things between her and Tang Fei might become easier.

She was aware of the influence her grandfather had over her father and knew his support would be a huge help for them.

She truly liked Tang Fei.

Unexpectedly, things went contrary to her wishes; her grandfather not only disliked Tang Fei but also drove him out of their house.

This incident would likely spread throughout Phoenix City and even across the entire Phoenix Empire soon.

By then, it would be even more difficult for her and Tang Fei to be together.

Thinking this, Phoenix felt bitter.

Being born into the Emperor’s Family,

while she enjoyed supreme reverence from the Royal Family, her personal life was also subject to numerous restrictions.

"That doesn’t involve you either." Tang Fei secretly grabbed Phoenix’s hand under the seat, maintaining an expressionless face while sitting up straight.

The etiquette officer ahead didn’t notice anything unusual and continued to look straight ahead, making Tang Fei even more confident to play with her hand.

"I know you’re also looking out for me. You want to resolve the conflict between me and the Yu Family... but that conflict isn’t easily resolved, nor can I resolve it."

"I understand," Phoenix nodded and said, "I know you have your own difficulties too."

"Yes. Didn’t you say earlier? When in a position, one must fulfill its duties. Being official means being helpless."

Phoenix wanted to persuade Tang Fei to leave the Monitoring Bureau, that place of trouble, but the words came to her lips and were swallowed back.

Since Tang Fei had already made his choice, all he could do now was offer his fullest support.

"I know why Grandpa is angry, but... what I don’t understand is... why would Grandpa have such hostility towards you? You just handle affairs for the Monitoring Bureau, you have to take on whatever case they assign you. Why should he take out his temper on you?"

"Grandpa has been immersed in officialdom for many years; he should understand this..." Phoenix, with a pensive look, became inadvertently nervous as Tang Fei held her hand, her body tensing as if fearful that the etiquette officer would see an inappropriate scene.

"Moreover, his actions today don’t fit his character. Even if he dislikes someone, he wouldn’t show it so obviously..."

"It looks like... it’s like a separation... creating a ceremonial sense that everyone can see..."

"Yes." Tang Fei nodded, looking at Phoenix and said, "He is making a statement."

"Making a statement?" Phoenix’s eyes narrowed slightly as she asked, "Expressing his stance to the palace?"

Tang Fei nodded again and said, "If I’m not mistaken, he already rushed there before you returned to Phoenix Palace."

"What did he go there to do?"

"To kill me."

"..."

Phoenix Palace.

Zhong Daolong personally came out to greet his father-in-law, enthusiastically grasping his hand and saying, "Father-in-law, it’s been a while since you last entered Phoenix Palace, hasn’t it? I’ve always wanted to visit you in Qianshan, but state affairs have kept me too busy to get away..."

"This rare visit, you must stay in the city for a few more days. I’ll put aside other matters and accompany you for a few drinks. We, father and son, won’t return until we’re drunk."

"Thank you, son-in-law," Yu Changan gripped Zhong Daolong’s hand and said, "I have come to the palace to ask you for a favor."

"Father-in-law, please say it, anything within my power, I absolutely will not refuse," Zhong Daolong responded cheerfully.

Thinking, could it be that father-in-law has come to ask me to show mercy to Yu Bainian?

If that’s the case, then father-in-law truly has become old...

"Please execute Tang Fei." Yu Changan said gravely.

"..."
