CHAPTER 603: CHAPTER 368, LICK HARD!_3

Tang Fei looked solemnly at Yan Wenli and said in a deep voice, "Dean, if there had been any other choice, I would not have done such a foolish thing."

"I know what I have done will make Qin Jianyi hate me to the bone, and it will also make the Qin Family and the Flame-Bathed Legion behind him fill with malice towards me."

"What can I gain then? I gain nothing. Did I want to do these things? I too wished to stay far away."

"But I received a phone call from the Dean’s office, they specifically asked me to go down and assist with the handling... How am I to handle it?"

"Can I let people be forever blocked at the entrance of the Monitoring Bureau? Can I allow them to invade recklessly? I cannot do that. If so, where would the dignity of the Monitoring Bureau stand? Where would the dignity of the Dean stand?"

"I must keep them outside the door, even if my own hands are stained with blood, even if it makes those powerful people hold a grudge... I must do so."

"Qin Jianyi was arrested, countless people hustled and pleaded for him, even going as far as to blockade the Monitoring Bureau."

"Dean, if one day... I mean hypothetically, I find myself in the same situation as Qin Jianyi, what would my circumstances look like? I don’t know if anyone would plead for me, but surely there would be countless who would kick me while I’m down."

Yan Wenli looked at Tang Fei with a profound gaze, his thoughts unknown.

After a long while, he grabbed the hat on the table, set it atop his thinning hair, and said, "It seems you are already prepared, just use that reasoning to deal with them."

"Them?" Tang Fei asked, confused.

"The King, the Qin Family, the Flame-Bathed Legion... everyone concerned with this conflict," Yan Wenli said.

"..."

"Come, follow me to the Phoenix Palace. Chen Fenglei called, asking you to explain immediately at the Phoenix Palace after handling this conflict."

"Dean, what does this have to do with me? It was they who actively surrounded the Monitoring Bureau..."

"You beheaded someone."

"I told you, didn’t I? I had no choice."

"So... go and repeat that perfunctory nonsense you told me, maybe the King will forgive you."

"..."

Tang Fei was very upset.

He had explained himself passionately for so long, and the old man actually didn’t believe him?

On what grounds didn’t he believe him?

------

Phoenix Palace.

Zhong Daolong looked at Tang Fei before him and said, "Come, start your performance."

"..."

Tang Fei was fuming.

This old man didn’t believe him either.

"Why are you not speaking? Where’s the courage you had to kill someone in the street? Where’s the courage you had to behead people at the door of the Monitoring Bureau?"

"`I acknowledge my guilt`," Tang Fei apologized, lowering his head.

"Acknowledge your guilt? I heard from Dean Yan... weren’t you quite justified previously? Why do you acknowledge guilt now? Do you truly know what crime you have committed?"

"Angering the King is the greatest sin," Tang Fei said guiltily.

Sometimes truth isn’t important, how you answer the questions is.

Was Tang Fei guilty? Undoubtedly, for beheading someone in the street without trial.

But nonetheless, according to his claims, he did it for the Monitoring Bureau, for Dean Yan Wenli...

Whether he was guilty or not relies on the whims of these influential figures.

Thus, he desperately licked at Zhong Daolong’s dirty feet.

After everything...

Do you still have the heart to be angry with me?

"..." Zhong Daolong.

"..." Yan Wenli.

The two exchanged looks, and Zhong Daolong sighed lightly, saying, "The commander of the Flame-Bathed Legion, Tang Shengyan came to me, said he wants to take you back for a flag sacrifice... what do you think?"

"I acted for the Empire and the Royal Family, who is he to count?"

"..."
