CHAPTER 606: CHAPTER 370, SEEKING WEALTH AND HONOR IN THE MIDST OF DANGER!_2

"Besides, Tang Yansheng will soon be at the station, and his words carry extreme weight at this time. Do you understand?"

Tang Fei understood Phoenix’s meaning because Tang Shengyan was about to step down from his position as commander of the Flame-Bathed Legion, and the Royal Family would do anything to ensure he could step down gracefully.

The weight of Tang Fei’s words compared to that of a legion commander...

Of course, was insufficient.

Thus, Zhong Daolong might just ruthlessly throw him out to appease the Flame-Bathed Legion.

Of course, that’s conventional thinking.

But Tang Fei knew Zhong Daolong had other plans for using him as a blade, so he wouldn’t easily throw himself out.

If he did that, his plans would be aborted.

After spending so much time and effort on his schemes, would he be willing to abandon them halfway?

"For enforcing the law on behalf of the Empire, for ridding the Royal Family of villains, could that be wrong?" Tang Fei could only go along with Phoenix’s context and continue acting: "They were about to forcefully enter the Monitoring Bureau, could I pretend I didn’t see it?"

"Besides, I didn’t want to interfere either, but the director’s office called me, saying they wanted me to cooperate with the Security Department to handle the situation outside..."

"Still, you didn’t have to kill the man," Sheng Xinhua said with apparent frustration. Such incidents involving Tang Fei also made her anxious.

However, with Phoenix, his official girlfriend, present, she couldn’t blatantly show her concern and had to express it through an ’annoyed’ demeanor.

"If I didn’t kill, I couldn’t establish authority," Tang Fei said, looking at Sheng Xinhua, explaining.

He always felt Sheng Xinhua’s behavior was awkward—the more she cared, the more she seemed to not care.

Wasn’t this something that infatuated young boys and girls would do?

How could a woman like Mr. Sheng exhibit such childish behavior?

"Besides, he pointed a gun at my head, I was genuinely afraid at that moment... afraid he would shoot, even more afraid the gun would misfire..."

Phoenix nodded, and to Tang Fei’s surprise, she even approved of his actions, saying, "You’ve killed, now what we need to consider is how to deal with the Flame-Bathed Legion’s pursuit..."

"Do you have any idea?" Tang Fei asked.

Phoenix blinked and suggested, "Aren’t you on good terms with my elder brother? He’s the Crown Prince, the future King... If he were to call Tang Shengyan, I believe Tang Shengyan wouldn’t push too hard."

"Didn’t you say Tang Shengyan is about to retire and even the King has to show him respect?"

"Tang Shengyan may retire, but his son, Tang Chao, is serving in the Phoenix Army... he has to accumulate some favor for his progeny, right? He can disregard the King’s face, but he can’t disregard the Crown Prince’s face."

"I understand," Tang Fei nodded and said: "It’s been a while since I paid my respects to the Crown Prince... I will visit him shortly."

"Go now," Phoenix said: "Sooner rather than later."

"I’ve just entered, and haven’t even had time to sip my tea," Tang Fei said.

"A cooled tea can be replaced, but you can visit here anytime... However, when it comes to your own safety, not a moment can be delayed."

"My brother has an official reception event at 6:40, and there are twenty-five minutes left before he departs. I’ve had people inquire, and right now, he is in the Light Pavilion..."

Tang Fei looked at Phoenix, realizing that this girl had arranged everything for him before he walked through the door.

Thinking of the things he was currently doing...

Forget it, don’t think about it.

Tang Fei nodded, looked at Phoenix, and said: "Alright, I’ll go over now."

"Mm, hurry up," Phoenix said with a smile: "Mr. Sheng and I will wait for you here."

"Okay." Tang Fei nodded, stood up, and headed to the Light Pavilion.

Sheng Xinhua watched Tang Fei leave and said, "You just keep spoiling him."

Phoenix sighed softly, with a gentle smile on her face, and whispered: "What can I do when I like him?"

"Alas," Sheng Xinhua heaved a heavy sigh.

------

Light Pavilion.

Zhong Tianque, in his magnificent and elegant court dress, with his hair meticulous, also had exquisite makeup on his face, ready to go out.

Seeing Tang Fei enter, he smiled and asked: "What’s the matter? Have you come to seek reinforcements?"

Tang Fei quickly put on Little Fatty’s signature silly grin, not as genuine and natural as Little Fatty, but he had learned a bit of the skill.

"Your Highness is wise, hit the nail on the head."

"What on earth do you want to do, creating such a big fuss?" Zhong Tianque asked, looking at Tang Fei.

"Your Highness, I have just done what I ought to do," Tang Fei hurriedly explained: "The Monitoring Bureau is the Empire’s Monitoring Bureau, and the Royal Family’s as well—I couldn’t let them just barge in."

Zhong Tianque scrutinized Tang Fei’s facial expressions, pondering the sincerity of his words.

After a while, he said: "Tang Fei, you need to learn not only how to do things but also how to be an official. Sometimes, you still have to leave some leeway for yourself. If you use too much force, it will hurt others as well as yourself."

Tang Fei bowed deeply and earnestly said: "Your Highnesses teaching is right, I will definitely keep it in mind."

"Mm." Zhong Tianque was satisfied with Tang Fei’s attitude and asked: "Tell me, how can I help you?"

"I’ve just come from the King, and the King said that Tang Shengyan, the Flame-Bathed Legion’s leader, wants to take me back as a sacrifice."

"See, isn’t the trouble coming to you? Tang Shengyan is highly placed and influential, one of the commanders of the three great legions, and even my father respects him immensely... I cannot stop what he intends to do."
