Chapter 540: Chapter 337, Ironclad Case!
Monitoring Bureau.
Tang Fei looked at Yu Huoshui sitting opposite to him and said, “Confess, and you will be treated leniently; resist, and you will be dealt with harshly. Speak for yourself, strive for leniency.”
Yu Huoshui hung his head low, his heart ashen.
Thinking of the humiliation he had endured that evening, he felt life was worse than death.
What pained him even more was that until now, after so long, not a single person had co forward to speak for him, letting Tang Fei take him to the Monitoring Bureau…
Did they not know what kind of human hell the Monitoring Bureau was?
Good people could be tortured into becoming bad people, and bad people could be tortured to death.
His uncle had been beaten beyond recognition and was still locked up in the prison to this very mont.
His fate had already been sealed, given his conflict with Tang Fei, that kid was even less likely to show him rcy.
What about the Second Prince? The Yu Family?
Where were they all? Had they truly abandoned him just like that?
At this thought, a sense of desolation spread through his entire body.
For the first ti, Yu Huoshui felt so powerless and insignificant, like a daisy ravaged by the cold wind…
Seeing Yu Huoshui remaining silent, Tang Fei picked up the Wahaha milk in front of him, took a sip, and said, “You don’t want to talk, so shall I speak for you?”
Yu Huoshui finally looked up, a mocking smile at the corner of his mouth, “Say whatever you want to say, pass whatever judgnt you want on … Once here, aren’t we just at the rcy of others? Since when has the Monitoring Bureau been a place where one can argue reason?”
“Misunderstanding, prejudice,” Tang Fei proclaid indignantly, “The principle of our Monitoring Bureau is to never wrong a good person, but also to never let a bad person off the hook.”
Yu Huoshui’s mouth twitched, and he no longer wanted to argue.
Tang Fei also felt he might have overdone it. Although those were the words… This was the legendary Monitoring Bureau, after all.
Ever since Yan Wenli beca the Director of the Supervision Institute, they had intensified the use of severe interrogation techniques, with countless fingernails pulled and heads chopped off.
It was said that near the prison’s black wall, every evening was haunted with shadowy figures, and many heard the wails and desperate cries of ghosts inside the courtyard claiming their innocence…
“You also know that I’ve been investigating a case recently involving Glory Interstellar Logistics, a company under the na of Yu Bainian,” Tang Fei looked towards Yu Huoshui with a chuckle and continued, “This case involves hiring assassination services, making paynts to a company controlled by an ‘Assassin’ organization known as kk…”
“What does this have to do with ?”
“Be patient, don’t get agitated, just let finish,” Tang Fei waved his hand, slurping the milk from the box. “Since there is an issue with Glory Logistics, naturally, our people have to seal it up.”
“We found so transactions when reviewing Glory Interstellar Logistics accounts, indicating business dealings with a company called Dahe Comrce…”
Hearing the na “Dahe Comrce,” Yu Huoshui’s complexion changed drastically.
He finally understood why Tang Fei, after eting with Zhong Tianque, ca at him like a Mad Dog.
He must have been acting upon Zhong Tianque’s intentions, and Zhong Tianque wanted them to pay a heavy price…
Seeing the change in Yu Huoshui’s face, Tang Fei cheerfully said, “You see, you are a smart man. As soon as I ntion it, you know what’s going on.”
Tang Fei knew what Yu Huoshui was thinking and kept on prodding to reinforce that impression.
The deeper Yu Huoshui’s hatred for Zhong Tianque beca, the more resolute and devastating his retaliation would be in the future.
“Dahe Comrce is a very peculiar company, with its registered location in the tax haven of Guam, and its legal representative is a lady in her seventies….”
“Of course, all these are blinds. The true owner is a person nad Li Zhi. And Li Zhi is Lei Xiangyang’s driver… Lei Xiangyang, you should be familiar with him, right?”
Yu Huoshui glared at Tang Fei with venomous eyes and hissed, “What exactly do you want?”
How could he not know Lei Xiangyang? Lei Xiangyang was the boss of Xinghui Entertainnt, a pawn that he had supported and could be said to be his obvious frontman.
All the dirty and hard work had been handled by him, but now he was in the hands of Chen Fenglei.
Originally, he thought that the incident was in the past, and the Royal Family, to prevent the scandal of brothers fighting, would minimize the incident as much as possible.
As for Lei Xiangyang, his life or death was no longer important.
What mattered was that he could no longer speak a single word.
But was Tang Fei trying to dig up that bad debt again?
If that was the case… Did he have the Emperor’s Family’s approval? Did he understand the stance of the Emperor’s Family on this issue?
Slap!
Tang Fei slapped his hand down on the case file.
“I don’t want to do anything; I just want to ask what you want to do.”
“So transactions of Dahe Comrce have been extrely unfriendly toward the Empire’s Eldest Prince, Zhong Tianque…”
“The Eldest Prince is the Crown Prince, the future King of our Phoenix Empire… Your affiliated companies insult the Eldest Prince, tarnish his reputation, degrade his character, and sar the reputation of the Royal Family…”
Tang Fei’s eyes were frosty as he stared at Yu Huoshui and said word by word, “I suspect you intend to overthrow the governnt, destabilize national security…”
“…”
Yu Huoshui felt his head buzzing.
Whatever Tang Fei said afterward, he could no longer hear clearly.

Qianshan.
After sending Zhong Tianyi away, Yu Haoran made his way to a secluded courtyard.
The old man and the red-robed Taoist were sitting in front of a small charcoal stove, drinking tea. The pot was simring with wild tea grown, picked, and roasted in Qianshan, and there were so peanuts and sweet potatoes laid out on the iron net beside them.
The tea leaves bubbled in the pot with a gurgling sound, while the roasted peanuts and sweet potatoes, ripe and fragrant, assaulted the nostrils of anyone nearby.
Yu Haoran cast a greedy glance at the roasted sweet potatoes on the stove and spoke out, “Grandpa, Second Brother has gone back.”
Yu Changan gave him a glance and said, “If you want to eat, then help yourself. Who are you trying to impress with that strange expression?”
“Heh heh heh, I was just worried there wouldn’t be enough for Grandpa and the master,” Yu Haoran said with a laugh.
Still, he obediently scampered over, grabbed a sweet potato, and started peeling and eating it right then and there.
Yu Changan looked at Yu Haoran and asked, “He ca over all excited, and you didn’t even let him through the door… Isn’t he angry?”
“Wouldn’t he be angry?” Yu Haoran said with a bitter smile, “The mont he saw his face change, I offered to invite him in for a drink and he refused. He’s definitely angry inside.”
“What difference would seeing him have made?” Yu Changan shook his head gently and said, “He still can’t see the situation clearly.”
“Grandpa, Yu Huoshui has been taken away by the Monitoring Bureau. Are we really not going to bother with it?” Yu Haoran looked at Yu Changan and asked.
“Yu Bainian was captured and locked up by them for so long, he only suffered so superficial injuries. What can be done?” Yu Changan said, “Whether it’s that Tang Fei or the Director of the Monitoring Institute Yan Wenli… they both know very well that without a direct statent from above, they wouldn’t dare to fatally harm a Yu family mber.”
“It’s good that he’s been locked up. It’ll teach them a lesson and let them know that the Yu family isn’t omnipotent. We can be wronged and can even bleed and cry… Only then will they think twice before taking actions in the future.”
“But in this way, the face of the Yu family…”
“Face?” Yu Changan looked at Yu Haoran with a profound expression and said, “Compared to his intentions, what is this slight loss of face to us?”
“What is the brother-in-law’s stance?” Yu Haoran finished his sweet potato and asked.
“He hasn’t taken a stance.”
“He hasn’t taken a stance?”
“His lack of a stance signifies his approval of the Monitoring Bureau’s actions, at least for now.”
“The Monitoring Bureau is the sword in his hand, and since he wants to exploit it to the fullest, then we’ll support him with our actions, not fighting back or retorting… In this way, we can certainly prove the Yu family’s loyalty, right?”
“He suspects us?”
“He suspects everyone,” Yu Changan said, “Anyone in his position would think this way. It’s not strange.”
“But we are the Yu family…”
“If you think this way, so does everyone else, doesn’t that prove even more we’re different? The more this is the case, the more dangerous it is for the Yu family.”
“…”
“Just wait,” Yu Changan said, “The best mont for our counterattack will co when he starts to doubt the killer sword in his own hand.”
“Grandpa, I understand.”
“And, try to have less contact with Zhong Tianyi.”
“Grandpa, are you worried he will?”
“It’s not about worry. Based on what I know about him, he will definitely take that step,” Yu Changan sighed softly, “Not to ntion the Eldest Brother is fanning the flas at his side.”
“Pity those born into the Emperor’s Family; most of the ti these children live lives that aren’t their own… To fight is to lose, not to fight is an even bigger loss.”

The Director’s office.
Tang Fei stood at the office door and gently knocked.
When the distinctive “Co in” from Yan Wenli ca from inside, Tang Fei gently pushed open the door and saw Yan Wenli sitting on the sofa, sipping whiskey. “Director, I have sothing to report to you.”
“What is it?” Yan Wenli held the glass of whiskey and swirled it lightly as he asked.
“Great news.” Tang Fei said cheerfully, “I’ve handled a big case.”
“A big case? What kind of big case?”
Tang Fei passed over a folder in his hand and whispered deliberately in a subdued tone, “There’s evidence to prove that Yu Huoshui intended to overthrow the Empire and insult Royal Family mbers…”
Yan Wenli’s eyes widened at Tang Fei, as if he had seen so terrifying beast.
Who am I?
Where am I?
Why am I here instead of sowhere else?
Yan Wenli looked at Tang Fei and asked, “You have evidence?”
“I have evidence.” Tang Fei nodded solemnly, “The evidence is irrefutable, I’m confident we can make a solid case.”
Tang Fei pointed to the door and said, “Go out and knock again.”
“Director…”
“Go now.”
“Yes, Director.”
Tang Fei stepped out of the office, politely closing the door behind him.
A few seconds later, he knocked on the Director’s office door again.
“He’s not here,” ca the hoarse voice of Yan Wenli.
“…”
