Chapter 550: Chapter 0552: I Have a Way

Bai Jiahang was a man who knew when to advance or retreat, he knew what terms to propose at what time for his greatest benefit.

Having already been slapped, what use was there in spouting harsh words? It was better to say something pleasant and possibly gain a good impression.

Indeed, after hearing Bai Jiahang’s words, Shangguan Wan’s father was extremely satisfied with his response.

Shangguan Wan’s father patted Bai Jiahang on the shoulder and said, "Uncle has not misjudged you, you are indeed a sensible child. Uncle feels at ease handing Wan’er over to you."

Bai Jiahang joyfully said, "Thank you, father, no, thank you, uncle."

Shangguan Wan’s father laughed and said, "It’s fine, you’ll have to call me that sooner or later anyway."

Bai Jiahang said, "Okay, thank you, Father."

Shangguan Wan was on the side, receiving treatment from the doctor, her face had already been cleaned of blood. It was fortunate that Shangguan Wan’s father knew how to control his strength, otherwise, she might have been left with scars.

"Dad, I must make that bumpkin pay," Shangguan Wan said through clenched teeth.

Shangguan Wan’s father’s face turned cold as he said, "Haven’t you caused enough trouble? Do you realize that this time, even your great-grandfather’s intervention was of no use?"

"Great-grandfather even got involved!" Shangguan Wan, shocked by her father’s words, exclaimed.

Shangguan Wan’s father nodded and said, "You acted rashly without proper investigation. Do you realize how many people are laughing at the Shangguan Family now?"

Shangguan Wan stopped talking because even the great-grandfather’s intervention was of no use, to touch Chu Feng would be like she was tired of living.

"Father, it’s not that there’s no way for Wan’er to seek revenge," Bai Jiahang broke the silence and spoke.

Upon hearing Bai Jiahang’s words, Shangguan Wan quickly asked, "What can you do?"

"I’ve said it before, let this matter rest. Forget about seeking vengeance," Shangguan Wan’s father said sternly.

"Dad, we can’t just let this go. That Chu Feng made me lose so much face, how can I walk in Yanjing in the future?" Shangguan Wan still refused to give up.

"Hmph! Do you still think about returning to Yanjing? You and Jiahang just need to manage East River’s affairs well," Shangguan Wan’s father coldly said.

Hearing such words, Shangguan Wan’s face truly turned ugly. Her own father’s words were tantamount to actually exiling her. She would never be able to set foot in Yanjing again.

"Alright, I have things to do. You two just stay here for the next few days and don’t go out at will," Shangguan Wan’s father said, then got up and left the room.

After her father left, Shangguan Wan threw everything she could see to the ground in a fit of rage.

"I refuse to be exiled, I don’t want to go to a small place like East River, I want revenge!" Shangguan Wan ranted and raged as she threw her tantrum.

Bai Jiahang just watched from the side, neither trying to soothe nor stop her.

It took about ten minutes of tantrum-throwing before Shangguan Wan finally stopped.

Shangguan Wan looked towards Bai Jiahang and said, "You just mentioned that I could take revenge. Do you have any ideas?"

Bai Jiahang replied, "Father..."

"He’s not your father!" Shangguan Wan said disgustedly.

Bai Jiahang chuckled awkwardly and said, "Uncle doesn’t want us to take revenge; I think it’s better to let this go."

Shangguan Wan gave Bai Jiahang a sidelong glance and said, "Stop beating around the bush with me. I want to know what you can do. If you handle this well, I’ll go back to East River with you. If you can’t manage it, then I’ll stay here, and you can go back to East River by yourself."

Bai Jiahang said, "Then I might as well go back to East River by myself. I don’t want uncle to blame me because of this matter."

Shangguan Wan said, "For this matter, all you need to do is provide the plan; I will take care of the rest."

Bai Jiahang looked at Shangguan Wan and said, "Alright, Wan’er. Since we are going to get married anyway, let’s bear this matter together."

Shangguan Wan said, "We’re not married yet. I don’t need you to share the burden. Just tell me your idea."

Despite Shangguan Wan’s mocking, Bai Jiahang remained as calm as ever.

"Hurry up and speak!" Shangguan Wan said impatiently.

Bai Jiahang replied, "Actually, I believe uncle can’t swallow this insult either, so by doing this, we are seeking revenge for uncle and giving vent to his anger. Additionally, this matter could make it very difficult for uncle within the Shangguan Family. Hence, if we handle this well, I believe uncle would be very pleased."

After listening to Bai Jiahang’s analysis, Shangguan Wan also felt he made sense and said, "But with Chu Feng’s background and status, how are we going to take action?"

Bai Jiahang smiled faintly and said, "Wan’er, do you think the same situation could happen twice? This time Chu Feng managed to escape safely, and I think it’s not just because of He Zhen. A large part of it may be due to someone wanting to give the Shangguan Family a warning. Although I’m not in Yanjing, I’m somewhat aware of what’s happening there.

The Shangguan Family’s power has been growing, and their influence in Yanjing has been increasing. I’m afraid they have already drawn some people’s attention, and a warning was inevitable. I think because of this matter, the losses the Shangguan Family has suffered might be even greater than those from detaining Chu Feng, right?"

After hearing Bai Jiahang’s words, Shangguan Wan also sank into contemplation. She had her sources, through which she knew some of the losses suffered by the Shangguan Family.

In this incident, the Shangguan Family lost more than just face. Two positions that were originally very important to the Shangguan Family were confirmed to be canceled because of this incident.

These things should not have happened, but now they had occurred. This made the situation quite intriguing indeed.

Because the course of events had already exceeded everyone’s expectations, it seemed as if all the scripts had been written in advance, and Chu Feng was merely a catalyst. Even without Chu Feng today, similar events would likely still unfold.

Shangguan Wan asked, "What’s your idea?"

Bai Jiahang replied, "Since the same situation cannot happen twice, that means if we take action against him again, no one will interfere this time. We just need to find a legitimate reason and a suitable setting."

Shangguan Wan asked, "What is a legitimate reason, and what is a suitable setting?"

Bai Jiahang, looking at the hooked Shangguan Wan, said with a slight smile, "The court is your main field, Yanjing is your turf. What constitutes a legitimate reason and a suitable setting, you should know better than I."
