Chapter 535: Chapter 334: Digging the Soil on Tai Sui’s Head!_2

"Zhong Jiayuan never changes its name or seat, what’s there to worry about?" Tang Fei said with a chuckle.

He knew he must not rush things; doing so would only arouse the girls’ suspicion. So, he spent his time simply joining them in drinking and playing games.

Tang Fei also came to understand the gameplay of Winding Water Garden. The white geese in the creek were controlled by an intelligent system and could also be manually adjusted. They would occasionally stop in front of a certain guest and sometimes frequently interact with a particular important guest.

The white geese stopped three or four times in front of Tang Fei and Shen Yan, yet neither of them stood up to perform; both just drank a few cups of wine.

After several rounds of drinks and repeated games, Tang Fei and Shen Yan grew anxious.

"He’s not coming, is he?" Shen Yan asked Tang Fei with a look.

"Wait a bit longer," Tang Fei signaled with a calm-down gesture.

Persistence pays off. After who knows how long, in a private room to the east of the creek, the target that Tang Fei and Shen Yan had been waiting for all night finally appeared.

"He’s here," Shen Yan’s eyes brightened, as he initiated a toast to Tang Fei.

Tang Fei clinked his glass with Shen Yan’s, whispering in a volume only the two of them could hear, "Prepare to take the man."

Private Room One.

This was the largest private room in Winding Water Garden and also had the best view.

Even ordinary members found it hard to book; most of the time, this room was privately owned by a very few individuals.

Yu Huoshui pushed the door open, and everyone in the room stood up to greet him.

"Mr. Yu, we’ve finally waited for you. If you hadn’t come, Ling Er would have cried."

"Not just Ling Er—I saw Bai Shao and the others secretly wiping their tears too."

"Without Mr. Yu, the girls wouldn’t enjoy playing the games."

"Exactly, Mr. Yu, you should have a few more drinks..."

-------

Yu Huoshui sprawled on the central sofa in a laid-back manner, immediately surrounded by several girls.

Some handed him a clean hand towel, others offered tea to rinse his mouth, and a few presented drinks and snacks...

"What can I do?" Yu Huoshui grumbled as he wiped his hands, "The Monitoring Bureau, those damned dogs, I don’t know what got into them; they’ve been hounding the Yu Family lately."

"Not only did they arrest my third uncle, but they’ve been trying to drag me into it too... How could I comply with their wishes?"

"So, I hid. My family strictly forbade me from showing up, to wait out this sensitive period before coming out to play. But thinking of my brothers here waiting for me, how could I disappoint you guys?"

"There... While our old man wasn’t paying attention, I sneaked out. Let me make it clear, I’ll cover all expenses tonight. Everyone, drink up to your heart’s content!"

"Thank you, Mr. Yu."

"Mr. Yu is generous."

"Mr. Yu, may I toast to you? You’ll always be my best brother."

------

After Mr. Yu had a lively time with everyone, some of the young men from Phoenix City gestured for the girls to sit aside and entertain themselves.

"Mr. Yu, are you alright? How did the Monitoring Bureau’s Mad Dogs come after you?" Chen Xiaoxian, holding his glass, sat in front of Yu Huoshui and asked sternly.

"How would I know? They say I’m implicated in a case. When they want to condemn someone, how can there be a lack of words?" Yu Huoshui’s face darkened with indignation as he spoke, "Usually, it’s us brothers who are wronging others; I never thought I’d be falsely accused one day..."

"They’ve been given too much face," A bespectacled young man said viciously, "A bunch of creatures in dog’s clothing dare to stir up the soil over the god of the soil’s head?"

"But I also can’t make sense of the situation. Lao Yu, how dare they? The Yu Family is not an ordinary clan, are you just letting people mess with you?"

"Exactly, you just need to say a word and won’t they behave like obedient dogs? Those in dog skins like to bite, but they also have to see whom they are biting. Aren’t they afraid of breaking their fangs?"

"The old man told us to cooperate actively, what can we youngsters do?" Yu Huoshui said resentfully, "My uncle has already been treated that way... The family won’t even let anyone stand up for him. Isn’t this letting people bully us to death?"

"You go back and talk to your family’s old man, if he comes out and says a word... Who would dare to touch the Yu Family?"

"Exactly, your family has been too low-profile. If worse comes to worst... aren’t you in good terms with the Second Prince? Ask him to speak up for you."

"Right, right, Royal Family Members speaking up definitely counts for something."

Yu Huoshui had thought about asking Tian Yi for help, but hesitating at the thought of his situation.

Hearing that Tang Fei had met with Eldest Prince Tian Que and only then began crazily targeting him, would pulling the Second Prince into this not make the brothers turn against each other?

How would that play out for him, to his advantage or detriment?

It’s hard to say, really hard to say—the current situation is utterly perplexing, and the slightest misstep could plunge one into an abyss from which there is no return.

"Have you heard that someone called Tang Fei has got it in for your Yu Family?"

"Yes, that hooligan. He’s a refugee from the Old Land who latched onto some woman’s coattails... huh, and now he dares to strut around in our Phoenix City. He’s been given too much face."

"If push comes to shove, we brothers will find a way to take him down and rid Phoenix City of the nuisance."

"Such talk should still be cautious; after all, he holds the knife of the Monitoring Bureau..."

"We must find a solution for Mr. Yu, can we just sit back and watch him be bullied?"

"I really don’t understand what the Princess is thinking... how could she be attracted to such a lowlife? There are so many young and promising men in Phoenix City, like carps swimming across the river, why can’t she find a man of her liking?"

"That can only mean that the Princess has a taste for the exotic."

Chen Xiaoxian looked toward Yu Huoshui and spoke, "Brother, make a stand... what are we going to do about this?"

After pondering for a moment, Yu Huoshui spoke, "Brothers, do not worry, he can’t harm our Yu Family... We’ve seen his type before, has any of them ever ended well?"

"Rest assured, there will come a day when I make that kid die without a place to be buried."

"If I’m not mistaken..." a clear voice suddenly rang out in the private room: "The ’despicable little vagabond’ and ’Captain Shen Yan’s black hound’ you are referring to are me and Captain Shen Yan, right?"

"... "Shen Yan.

Please do not tag, thank you.

What does the fight among immortals have to do with a mere mortal like me?

I’m just the one who does the dirty work.

The crowd turned around and saw the person they had been badmouthing standing behind them, looking at them with a smile brimming with delight.

"Someone come quickly."

"How did you get in here? Where are the bodyguards?"

"Get out of here, don’t you know that breaking into... someone else’s private room is an ill-mannered behavior?"

Tang Fei curled his lips and said, "You’ve been cursing me behind my back for quite a while now, where is your decency?"

"..."

The crowd was at a loss for words.

Who could have expected that the very person they had been cursing was standing quietly behind them?

What about their bodyguards? There were clearly guards at the door.

Why didn’t they get a heads-up when a stranger came in?

Even if they were dealt with... shouldn’t there be a scream before death?

Yu Huoshui knew Tang Fei was coming for him; he had been hiding for so many days, only to expose himself and be targeted by him, and now he had been found right in front of him.

"Eh, how did he know I would be here?"

"Could it be... there’s a traitor among us?"

His gaze surveyed the faces of his several brothers, but for the moment, he could not find any clues.

He rose abruptly to his feet and strode towards Tang Fei, shouting angrily, "Tang Fei, what the hell do you want?"

"Please come back with us to assist in investigating a case," Tang Fei said, looking at Yu Huoshui standing in front of him, with a beaming smile.

"What if I don’t go back?" Yu Huoshui asked coldly.

Being dragged away by the Monitoring Bureau’s hound in front of so many people, could he even go on living?

"Then don’t blame us for not giving Mr. Yu face," Tang Fei’s smile remained the same, but his tone became much more serious.

"What, you want to get violent?"

"Indeed I do."

If Lao Liu could write even a single word, he wouldn’t dare to stop updating for so long.
