Chapter 482: Chapter 307: I’m Afraid of Death!

It’s too much.

The level of tea spirit in this tea is at least of the Grandmaster Level.

Xuanyuan Mingjing even taught him this?

Lin Fan felt very unpleasant.

It was clearly Tang Fei who had forcibly taken Yu Bainian away and injured many bodyguards of the Yu Family. Li Chongshan was still in the hospital fighting for his life… He came to demand an explanation and justice.

Now that Tang Fei was apologizing to Yan Wenli, saying that he hadn’t handled the situation well and had caused trouble for the Dean, his own actions had been twisted.

Who is the trouble? What is the trouble?

With such an apology, he had suddenly become the villain who came to the Monitoring Bureau to cause trouble and lay blame.

As Director of the Supervision Institute, Yan Wenli must now stand by his subordinates, regardless of what he really thought.

A leader who can’t take responsibility will damage his own authority and his standing in his subordinates’ hearts.

Especially since Yan Wenli originally stood on Tang Fei’s side. Ever since Lin Fan arrived, Yan Wenli had been mocking and taunting him, as if he was his political enemy.

Sure enough, Yan Wenli raised his hand and gestured downwards, saying, “Sit, let’s talk while sitting.”

“Yes.” Tang Fei sat down respectfully, perching on the edge of the couch.

Seeing Tang Fei’s cautious and respectful demeanor, Lin Fan sneered inwardly. When you faced the Yu Family’s bodyguards and Yu Bainian, you didn’t hesitate to fight, even blasting a huge hole in the roof…

Why didn’t you know fear then?

“It’s not your fault.” Yan Wenli’s gaunt face revealed a benign and kind smile as he comforted, “If you don’t do anything, you won’t make mistakes. To accomplish things, one will encounter all kinds of problems and obstacles.”

“You went to find Yu Bainian with the arrest warrant, asking him to come and cooperate with our Monitoring Bureau’s work. It was reasonable and lawful… yet some ruffians dared to insult the Monitoring Bureau, even getting physical with our inspectors…”

“What kind of behavior is this?” Yan Wenli glanced at Lin Fan out of the corner of his eye, then set his gaze back on Tang Fei’s face, and said, “This is an egregious act of provoking the authority of the Monitoring Bureau and judicial fairness, this is a criminal act of maliciously obstructing the lawful exercise of inspection and interrogation by the Monitoring Bureau…”

“The arrest warrant has the Monitoring Bureau’s grand seal and my own signature. As the Director of the Supervision Institute, I have the responsibility to uphold the reputation and dignity of the Monitoring Bureau… Let it pass this time, but if such an incident happens again, bring back all the principal and accessory offenders.”

“…” Lin Fan’s face was extremely embarrassed.

Yan Wenli was hinting that this time, they only brought back Yu Bainian. Next time something similar occurred, they would bring back all participants.

“Everyone says that entering the doors of the Monitoring Bureau is easy, but leaving is hard. Let them see the capability and efficiency of our Monitoring Bureau’s work.”

“We are the Monitoring Bureau, if we can’t even protect our own face, then how can we, on behalf of Heaven, patrol and purge the kingdom of treachery?”

Yan Wenli turned to face Lin Fan with a mocking smile and said, “Secretary-General, don’t you think that’s the case?”

Naturally, Lin Fan wouldn’t answer Yan Wenli’s question, as every word was loaded with implication, every query a knife aimed at them.

Mixing threats with persuasion, he had employed every tactic.

What? Did they think the Yu Family was so soft that anyone could bully them?

However, what Lin Fan couldn’t understand was Yan Wenli’s motive.

Yan Wenli was the King’s confidant, brought up to be the Director of the Supervision Institute by Zhong Daolong himself.

His nickname “Mad Dog” not only referred to his “crazy” approach to cases but also carried the implication of being the King’s loyal dog.

The Yu Family and the Royal Family were not only in-laws but also closely allied combat partners.

Otherwise, Zhong Daolong would not have entrusted the management of Phoenix City to the head of the Yu Family, Yu Chenghai.

They should have been on the same side; why was Yan Wenli relentlessly targeting the Yu Family?

Or had he received some kind of directive from above?

Thinking of this possibility made Lin Fan’s heart thump wildly.

But his face showed no sign of it, maintaining that emotionless poker face as he said, “Dean Yan, I have no other intention coming here. Yu Bainian was captured, and I am here on behalf of the city mayor to understand the situation.”

“Of course, the city mayor has no intention of interfering with the Monitoring Bureau’s case handling. Before I came over, he mentioned to me that if Yu Bainian has indeed broken the law, punish him as he should be punished. The Yu Family accepts any punishment.”

“If Yu Bainian has truly been wronged, I also hope that the Monitoring Bureau, after clarifying the facts, will release him as soon as possible.”

“The old patriarch is also paying close attention to this matter; his health is not good, and he can’t bear to see his family’s children suffer… If something unfortunate truly happens, it would be difficult for everyone to settle. What do you think, Dean Yan?”

After throwing out his own question much like Yan Wenli, Lin Fan didn’t wait for a reply but stood up, buttoning his suit as he spoke, “I won’t disturb the Dean’s work anymore. You’re busy.”

With that, he turned and walked out.

“Secretary-General, let me escort you.” Dean Yan remained seated on the sofa, with no intention of standing up to see him off.

“No need.” Lin Fan, as if aware of Yan Wenli’s attitude, left without turning back.

However, Zheng Jianfeng was Yan Wenli’s secretary.
