Invincible Divine Doctor of the Beautiful Lady-Chapter 640 - 624: Visiting to Apologize_2

The situation developed exactly as Tangyu had anticipated. Due to the immense influence of the incident, the higher-ups felt pressured and thus decided to make an example of Yu Lingfeng, sacrificing his dignity to quell the situation. Huangfu Jing had early knowledge of this and was not at all surprised.

"Where’s Tangyu?" He Pengxuan directly asked.

"Oh, he said he didn’t sleep well last night, so he went to bed. By now, he should be fast asleep," Huangfu Jing said.

Yu Lingfeng’s mouth twitched upon hearing Huangfu Jing’s words, and a thick intent to kill suddenly burst forth in his eyes, raging tumultuously like the overflowing Yellow River. Tangyu had actually gone to sleep; it was obviously intentional. In the morning, he seemed to be in good spirits—hardly someone who hadn’t rested well. Clearly, this was a tactic to give him trouble. Yu Lingfeng’s expression grew even uglier, so much so that he felt an urge to rush in and shoot Tangyu dead. But at that moment, Yu Lingfeng could only choose to endure, whether he could bear it or not.

He Pengxuan, naturally no fool, quickly understood the ins and outs of the situation; this show of power was indeed formidable.

"Huangfu Jing, go wake Tangyu up. We have some important matters to discuss with him," He Pengxuan said.

Huangfu Jing nodded. "Alright, then Minister He, please come in and take a seat. I’ll go call Tangyu."

After inviting He Pengxuan and his people inside, Huangfu Jing walked upstairs, taking her time, much to Yu Lingfeng’s further irritation.

After waiting for a good two to three minutes, Huangfu Jing came downstairs alone. Seeing that Tangyu hadn’t come down, Yu Lingfeng snorted coldly, his expression growing increasingly fierce.

"He’s awake. He said he’ll come down after getting dressed," Huangfu Jing said.

"Humph, quite the prima donna," Yu Lingfeng couldn’t help but curse.

Huangfu Jing looked over and said, "Captain Yu, you kept Tangyu up all night. It’s normal for him not to have slept well. Your words seem a bit unkind. If I had known this would happen, I would have gone to call him earlier."

Yu Lingfeng was effectively choked by Huangfu Jing’s retort.

"Alright, alright, let’s not worry about this little bit of time," He Pengxuan intervened to smooth things over.

After waiting for over ten minutes, Yu Lingfeng grew impatient several times and even considered leaving. Finally, after much anticipation, Tangyu came downstairs at his own leisure, the corners of his mouth slightly upturned in an odd, sinister smile. He glanced over Yu Lingfeng and He Pengxuan and said, "Sorry to have kept you waiting, Minister He. Just getting up. I had to wash up a bit, right? Otherwise, how could I show my face?" Tangyu’s words were obviously addressing only Minister He, deliberately excluding Yu Lingfeng.

Yu Lingfeng stared hard at Tangyu, wishing he could devour him.

"Tangyu, we came to you today because there’s something we’d like to discuss with you. Would it be possible for us to talk privately?" Minister He said.

Tangyu responded, "Hehe, Minister He, why so formal? Whatever it is, couldn’t you just give me a call? No need to take the trouble to come all this way. But, I haven’t had breakfast yet. Huangfu Jing, do you have anything to eat here? I need to fill my stomach first."

"Sure, I’ll get you something from the kitchen," Huangfu Jing rose and went to the kitchen, the two of them acting as though they were playing house.

"Minister He, have you had breakfast? If not, let’s eat together," said Tangyu, deliberately deflecting the topic, making no mention of the matter at hand.

He Pengxuan naturally understood Tangyu’s intentions; the crux of the matter rested with Yu Lingfeng, and without Yu Lingfeng speaking up, Tangyu would never negotiate with him. This level of sophisticated composure was indeed somewhat terrifying.

Yu Lingfeng’s face flickered between darkness and light, a heavy shadow passing through his eyes, before he said, "Tangyu, let’s talk alone."

Tangyu looked at Yu Lingfeng, eyes slightly squinted, smiling faintly as he said, "Seems like I’m not familiar with you, anything you have to say can be said here."

"You—" Yu Lingfeng was choked with anger, humiliated and furious, rage shooting out in spades.

He Pengxuan hastily gave Yu Lingfeng a meaningful look; he too had his own frustrations. His superiors had given him this thankless task; otherwise, he would never have wanted to come.

"You want me to apologize to you, right? Fine. The incident this year was my fault, and I apologize to you. Are you satisfied now?" Yu Lingfeng said.

Having Yu Lingfeng apologize to him was something that would be seen as a tremendous honor if word got out.

Tangyu smiled lightly, pursing his lips as he said, "Captain Yu, I really can’t bear such a gesture. It makes me feel uncomfortable all over just to hear it. I cannot accept this apology. Please take it back. Oh, right, another thing, I seem not to be familiar with you. So, you know, I still have to eat breakfast." freewebnσvel.cѳm

Tangyu outright gave him an eviction notice.

The fury in Yu Lingfeng’s heart had already erupted like a volcano; he truly wanted to draw his gun and kill Tangyu on the spot. A soldier could be killed, but not humiliated.

Yet, although he himself was not afraid to die, there was still the Yu Family; he couldn’t implicate them. After all, it was the orders from those above that he had to obey. He was also a soldier, and a soldier’s duty was to follow orders, something he had been taught since childhood.

"Tangyu, don’t go too far," Yu Lingfeng said through clenched teeth.

"Too far? I don’t feel I’ve gone too far. Compared to you, I think I’ve been very reasonable. At least I haven’t pointed a gun at your head, nor have I threatened your life with harsh words. I believe I have been quite polite. Don’t push your luck, thinking that I, Tangyu, am a soft persimmon you can squish at will," Tangyu said.

He Pengxuan had a headache, a tremendous headache. He almost wished he could just end himself with one shot; how could he have encountered such troublesome matters, letting people live like this.

"Enough, both of you take a step back. Tangyu, since Captain Yu has already apologized to you, please consider doing me a favor and we’ll call it quits on this issue. It’ll be like I owe you one; how does that sound?" He Pengxuan could only say, steeling himself.

Tangyu curled his lip in a smile, "Since Minister He has spoken, I’ll give this face. However, there’s no need for any favors; after all, ’no pay, no work.’ Fine, I’ll go with Minister He after I finish my breakfast. Now Minister He, you can start making arrangements, and let me know later how I can cooperate with you."

Hearing Tangyu finally relent, He Pengxuan breathed a sigh of relief, feeling relieved that the matter was finally resolved: "Okay, I’ll make the arrangements at once."

Yu Lingfeng left the villa with a cold face, but he didn’t go far; instead, he sat in his own car and waited outside. He really didn’t want to stay in the villa and see Tangyu’s face, fearing he really might not be able to restrain himself from drawing his gun.

For a man, dying for honor is an option, and Yu Lingfeng was no different.

Tangyu was the same; he too was fighting for his dignity. So even if it meant offending Yu Lingfeng, he wanted to firmly trample him underfoot and retrieve his dignity.
