Chapter 547: Chapter 0549 Big Movements [Part 2]

Elder Huang’s son, after hearing these words, said, "Dad, I know what to do now?"

Elder Huang said, "Taking this opportunity, it’s time some people were seriously warned. The interests of the nation and the interests of the people are the supreme interests."

Elder Huang’s son replied, "Dad, I understand."

This night was destined to be restless, yet Chu Feng remained very calm, kicking the four black-clad men aside to stand guard while he started watching television.

All over Yanjing City, unease took hold in the dead of night, the electronic pulses of telephones echoing through the sky above Yanjing. The Garrison charged with protecting Yanjing City dispatched a large number of troops into the urban area under the guise of changing guards.

The road leading to Cloud House was completely blocked off, but fortunately, it was late at night and not many people were affected.

In numerous villas and official residences around Yanjing, many were rudely awakened from their sleep.

And upon seeing the phone numbers, they dared not utter any complaints.

From high-ranking department heads to bureau level, no one had any sleep that night.

The Shangguan Family was in complete disarray, everyone waiting for the old Grandfather’s intervention, awaiting the results of his communication with the other party.

After ten minutes, the Shangguan Family’s Grandfather was wheeled out from inside.

All eyes turned to the nearly centenarian elder, he was the Sky Pillar that kept the Shangguan Family standing unbreakable. He had once fully supported the Grand Ancestor in establishing meritorious service, otherwise, the Shangguan Family’s status would not be so transcendent.

But tonight, his old face’s dignity was not so effective anymore.

"Release them," ordered the Grandfather with just two words, but those two words contained so much, so many interpretable meanings. Those two words determined too much life and death and interests.

"Grandfather, is there really no room for manoeuvre?" the current Family Head could not bring himself to believe this reality.

His own clan had only captured a minor figure from East River, how could they have been forced into such a corner by him?

"No!" Grandfather said crisply and helplessly.

"Grandfather, I want to know, who is really behind him?" the Family Head seemed unwilling to give up, unwilling to accept this reality.

Grandfather pointed upwards, offering no explanation, then gestured to the nurse to push him back to his room.

"Big brother, what exactly does Grandfather mean?" Shangguan Wan’s father, the younger brother of the Shangguan Patriarch, asked.

The Shangguan Patriarch said, "Who do you think is above Grandfather that could intervene?"

Upon hearing the Patriarch’s words, everyone in the room couldn’t help but gasp in shock.

Above their own family elder, aside from those two or three individuals, the rest couldn’t truly make the elder feel powerless.

"Big brother, he’s just a guy from the countryside, could he really provoke so many people?"

Unfolding a stack of documents, the Shangguan Patriarch threw them in front of his brother and said, "Take a good look for yourself, is he a nobody from the countryside? Do you know who his sworn older brother is? It’s He Zhen, known as the State Preceptor. Don’t tell me you don’t know what relationship He Zhen has with the President? His Master is the Earth Level Tributor of Dragon Soul; even the General Captain of Dragon Soul has to give him space. This is the ’nobody from the countryside’ you speak of. Do you act without thinking beforehand, without investigating?"

If his brother hadn’t mentioned it, he could have felt somewhat better. But now that his brother spoke, his anger truly erupted.

His younger brother acted without thinking; was someone like Chu Feng someone you could mess with so carelessly? Were the details others failed to investigate also hidden from the Shangguan Family?

The brother listened to the Patriarch’s words in utter astonishment. He had not anticipated that a country bumpkin from a small place could have such a Heaven Defying status.

He had hoped that their Grandfather could salvage something, but now it seemed the loss the Shangguan Family would suffer due to Chu Feng would be enormous.

The Shangguan Family had, through various connections, maneuvered into an important position in a crucial department, which now was basically ruined. Such a loss was unbearable for the Shangguan Family.

"Let them personally release him," the Shangguan Patriarch knew that getting angry was useless now, things would be better once the person was released.

"Family Head, the Garrison of Yanjing has already surrounded Cloud House, we simply can’t get in," reported the messenger after ten minutes.

"What are they trying to do, are they bullying the Shangguan Family because nobody is standing up for us?" Shangguan Wan’s father said angrily.

The Patriarch sighed, having guessed that the end would turn out this way.

"You go yourself, let him go. You caused this mess, it’s up to you to clean it up," the Shangguan Patriarch said to his younger brother before turning to leave the council hall.

The younger brother stood there, dumbfounded, not knowing what to do next or how to handle the situation.

He was an important figure in the Shangguan Family, of the Direct Lineage. To personally release someone that he had ordered to be captured was a loss of face he couldn’t afford.

But if he didn’t go, considering his older brother’s and Grandfather’s attitudes, he feared he wouldn’t get off lightly this time.

"Second Master, shall we go?" After waiting for ten minutes, the messenger tentatively asked, knowing not to disturb the Second Master’s thoughts at such a time. But time was pressing, and he didn’t know what the Garrison might do next.

"Go!" In the end, the Second Master gritted his teeth and decided to make the trip personally.

The situation was started by him, and it must be ended by him. The Shangguan Family was taken down a notch, and he had to accept it. If he continued to delay, it would be even less advantageous for the Shangguan Family.

"Alright! I’ll prepare the car."

Meanwhile, at another villa in Cloud House, Shangguan Wan’s face was pale and distressed.

She couldn’t believe that Chu Feng, who seemed like a complete country bumpkin, could cause such a huge stir.

Even the intervention of their family Grandfather had no effect.

She had already been feeling insecure about her position due to such a marriage alliance, and with this incident, her status within the Shangguan Family was likely even more precarious.

Bai Jiahang was also shocked, but at least he appeared calm on the surface. If the sky were to fall, there were taller people to hold it up, and deep down he truly wished for such an incident to happen.
