Chapter 614: Chapter 614: The Truth Hurts the Most

The woman was hit and stunned for a while before she screamed hysterically, “You dare to hit me?”

She was about to pounce forward to fight through the automatic door when the man called Lan Wei held her back, “Calm down, be calm.”

The woman struggled nonstop, shouting, “He started a fight during a mission… Let me go!”

Lan Wei ignored her, holding her tightly as the man with cirrhosis stepped forward and spoke blandly to President Feng, “President Feng, I must make it clear that we did not intend to alarm Your Excellency’s family members. I wonder where you got this information from?”

President Feng smiled coldly, his information came from Lao Qian, who had been sent to a different plane.

Not only was he an informer for the other side, but he had also taken Qingcheng’s bounty to strike at Luohua Manor.

However, he definitely wasn’t going to explain, and he didn’t think that only Qingcheng would do such a thing.

He answered with a sneer, “As I just said, what you don’t know, I understand perfectly well.”

The man with cirrhosis was taken aback, then slowly shook his head, “There might be… some misunderstanding.”

“It’s not necessarily a misunderstanding,” Yang Yuxin spoke up at this moment, “Do you dare say you wouldn’t do it?”

Her position was quite high, and she knew very well how many things operated.

From a legal perspective, modern civilized societies generally don’t have provisions for ‘guilt by association’ or ‘bringing calamity to the entire family,’ as these are primitive and barbaric practices.

But in reality, such situations are inevitable in any country, and Merrick, which is touted as a model of democracy, is no exception.

For example, if a Chinese-American is accused of spying, their spouse and children are likely to suffer — the spouse might get fired, and the children might be unable to attend prestigious elite schools.

Huaxia was no different; after all, the Official Government was very adept at taking the mass line.

What is the mass line? For instance, during demolitions, if you’re a holdout household wanting more compensation, then your relatives in the system might be called in to persuade you. If not, they could be affected — this is called mobilizing the masses.

What if you don’t have any relatives in the system? It doesn’t matter, are there any among them who run businesses or transport companies?

Yang Yuxin was all too familiar with these tactics, and she was even certain that if they couldn’t make progress with President Feng, they might indeed target President Feng’s parents, involving those two ordinary people to persuade him.

As soon as she said this, not only was the man with cirrhosis rendered speechless, but even the woman who was frantically struggling stopped in her tracks.

After a long while, she finally said, “We are acting in the interests of the state, while you are seeking personal revenge… Can the two be compared?”

President Feng’s brow furrowed as he pointed at her and spoke sharply, “Your shamelessness truly exceeds my imagination. When did one’s personal desires get to shamelessly wear the cloak of national interest? You are you, the state is the state… you don’t represent the state!”

Chastised by his words, the woman was instantly stunned, but then she scoffed, “You’re threatening a state employee!”

President Feng also smiled coldly and was about to speak when Director Yang coughed lightly, “Alright, Master, leave it to me.”

She didn’t look at the woman but turned to the man with cirrhosis, “Are you in charge here?”

The man with cirrhosis was slightly taken aback, then nodded, “I’m just a section chief. My colleague here is young, sometimes impulsive and too earnest, but she’s a good person.”

Director Yang nodded slightly and asked another question, “Then do you know who I am?”

“Um…” the man with cirrhosis’s eyes roved around, followed by a dry laugh, “I’m really sorry, may I ask who you are?”

“My name is Yang Yuxin,” Director Yang reported her own name directly, “I come from the capital. Your actions have affected my child’s studies, and I hope this matter will stop here… You needn’t look for the drone anymore; I will personally compensate you one hundred thousand yuan.”

“My condition is that you leave now and never come back… I mean now, immediately, right away!”

So it was Yang Yuxin… The man with cirrhosis inwardly sighed. They had had their sights on Luohua Manor for more than a day or two, and Gu Laosan’s wife, coming from a powerful family, was good at gathering information.

Now that this person had stepped forward, it was difficult for them to proceed. Couldn’t such a significant figure maintain a bit more restraint?

At this moment, Lan Wei spoke up, “Sister, coming here wasn’t really our intention. How about this, we’ll consult our leaders, what do you think?”

Yang Yuxin nodded, remarking nonchalantly, “If your leaders disagree, tell me who they are.”

“That is…” the man with cirrhosis could only give a bitter smile, “We will try to make the situation clear. We’re just the ones running errands; why make things difficult for us?”

“Troubling you?” Yang Yuxin gave him a cold glance. “Fool… I’m saving you, saving your families!”

The three were chastised by Yang Yuxin but didn’t dare utter a word, Regardless of the pressure Feng Jun imposed on them, he was still an ordinary person, while those within the system had the most awe for the power of the system itself.

When they returned to the car, it wasn’t long before Liver Cirrhosis came back, speaking very politely, “Director Yang, it was a misunderstanding, let’s just leave it at that. We came… a bit recklessly and rudely.”

Yang Yuxin didn’t speak, but instead jerked her chin towards Feng Jun—Why are you talking to me when the person in charge is right there?

Liver Cirrhosis gave a very respectful bow to Feng Jun, “I apologize for the earlier disrespect, and I ask for your understanding. Master, being able to see the hidden problems in my body and so generously offering your guidance… truly, you are a towering figure.”

“This towering figure and all that, let’s skip it,” Feng Jun waved a hand dismissively, speaking indifferently, “I pointed out your problem not to heal or save anyone, just to show you how vast my divine skills are… You don’t need to thank me.”

How could I possibly respond to such blunt honesty? Liver Cirrhosis let out a wry laugh, “Regardless of your intentions, you still gave me a warning, I’m the beneficiary… I must acknowledge this favor.”

Feng Jun glanced at him and spoke blandly, “You are much more sensible than that woman, I hope you won’t make foolish mistakes in the future.”

Liver Cirrhosis, looking serious, responded, “If there’s a next time, I mean if… then I’ll definitely come with all the proper paperwork.”

“You’re thinking too much,” Feng Jun waved his hand dismissively, speaking quite rudely, “If all the paperwork is complete, it wouldn’t be your place to talk to me.”

Your words… really are too frank! Liver Cirrhosis’s mouth twitched momentarily, then he nodded with a smile, “Master… you indeed are a man of great character.”

Yang Yuxin raised her hand and motioned to him, speaking casually, “Give me an account number, I’ll have someone wire the money to you.”

“That won’t be necessary,” Liver Cirrhosis gulped down his saliva and responded with a wry smile, “It’s not much money, and as you said, Director Yang, you’ve already saved our lives, how could we have the nerve to take money?”

Yang Yuxin gave him a look and asked lightly, “What, do you think I can’t afford that little amount?”

Liver Cirrhosis didn’t dare to say more, obediently recited a bank account number; a hundred thousand was a significant sum to the average person, but for this lady… it truly was a trifle.

The staff at Luohua Manor stood there, watching the emergency rescue vehicle slowly drive away, disappearing into the vast expanse of snowflakes.

Feng Jun and Yang Yuxin, however, stood there without moving for a long time.

Snowflakes landed on their shoulders and hair, quickly accumulating a layer of white.

Xu Leigang intended to go back to cultivation but, seeing the two of them like that, felt puzzled, not daring to ask directly, he just chuckled awkwardly, “Looks like these guys were… given their way of doing things, they might not keep their word, right?”

“It’s normal for them not to keep their word,” Feng Jun pulled out a pack of cigarettes, offered one to Xu Leigang and took one himself. After lighting it up, he spoke casually, “For politicians, lacking moral principles… It’s not just them, anyone involved in politics is the same.”

Yang Yuxin nodded as well. Even though she had seen a lot, she still couldn’t fully grasp the true meaning behind Feng Jun’s words.

So she just spoke according to her own thoughts, “Whether they keep their word or not isn’t up to them to decide. However, if no one stirs the pot further, it might just blow over… My influence counts for something, after all.”

That was why she had subtly warned them—Don’t let me see you again.

If these people don’t stir up trouble, then others, firstly, won’t have as much hatred, and secondly, may not pay much attention to this matter.

“Alas,” Xu Leigang sighed deeply, stamping his foot in frustration, “If only I had known, I wouldn’t have let them off so easily.”

Yang Yuxin looked at him queerly. Please, they left on their own, could you have stopped them? You’re a second-generation red, don’t you know that this officialdom is not to be trifled with?

Feng Jun, however, nodded slightly, “Indeed, letting them leave like that makes others think that Luohua Manor can be bullied at will.”

“Master!” Yang Yuxin exclaimed in shock, “These are not the kind of people to be trifled with lightly, especially since, if anything happens, we are the most suspect.”

“Why touch them?” Feng Jun looked at her and lifted his gaze to the sky, watching the fluttering snowflakes falling, and said in a musing tone, “I’m going to make a trip to Qingcheng, offending Luohua Manor cannot possibly come without a price… don’t you all agree?”

“Definitely,” Xu Leigang nodded vigorously, “I’ll join you on the trip. The Jin City Military Region still has a few old family friends of mine.”

Feng Jun glanced at him and shook his head slightly, thinking that he was going to make a show of force and bringing him along would be inconvenient, “You don’t need to overthink things, focusing on your cultivation is the main priority. If you have time, spend it with your little princess. No need to get involved in my affairs.”

Although Xu Leigang was not young and tended to act on impulse, upon hearing Feng Jun’s words, he realized he had been impulsive and gave a goofy smile, “Alright, I’ll follow Master’s advice.”

“Count me in for the trip to Qingcheng,” Yang Yuxin spoke up, “My Yang Family actually originates from the Shu Region.”
