Chapter 483: Chapter 307: I’m Afraid of Death!_2

The leader didn’t want to do it, but he had to.

The leader didn’t want to offend, yet he had to offend.

He quickly followed behind Lin Fan, taking over from Yan Wenli to send the “guest” out.

After Lin Fan had left, Tang Fei looked at Yan Wenli, pretending to be angry, “Who on earth is this Lin Fan? How dare he threaten our Monitoring Bureau, threaten the director… What does he think our Monitoring Bureau is?”

Yan Wenli poured himself a glass of whiskey, looked at Tang Fei, and asked, “Do you know who the ‘old master’ he mentioned is?”

“I don’t know,” Tang Fei said aloud.

“Yu Family Master, the deceased Empress Yu Sineng’s father, grandfather to the two princes and the Princess, also our King’s father-in-law… The King respects Grandmaster Yu very much. If you really anger him to a bad state, I’m afraid we might not be able to settle this well.”

Tang Fei looked shocked and said, “The director can’t handle it?”

“Can’t handle it,” Yan Wenli said curtly.

“What about the King?”

“He probably can’t handle it either… Yu Bainian is the King’s brother-in-law and also Grandmaster Yu’s son. If he goes to the Phoenix Palace to demand people, the King has to give him face. At that time, we’ll have no choice but to hand people over.”

“What should we do?” Tang Fei asked.

Yan Wenli took a sip of his whiskey, looked at Tang Fei, and asked, “How confident are you?”

“Confident about what?”

“Are you still playing dumb with me?” Yan Wenli was amused and slightly annoyed by Tang Fei’s response, “I’m supporting you with so much pressure and risking offending the Yu Family. Don’t you owe me an explanation?”

Tang Fei’s expression turned serious, and he said to Yan Wenli, “Yu Bainian is implicated in the case. If we just let him go, the thread will break…”

“Do you think Yu Bainian has been framed?”

“He must have been framed,” Tang Fei asserted, “Just like he said, he has no motive, and the methods used are too crude.”

“If it was the Yu Family acting, they could have done it much better, and we wouldn’t have found any evidence.”

“All the evidence now points to Yu Bainian. The house harboring the murderer is his, and coincidentally, he transferred money to the kk company three months ago… It’s too indicative.”

“Three months?”

“Yes, three months.”

Yan Wenli’s expression turned serious, “But at that time, we hadn’t started investigating Lu Yunhang’s case…”

“That’s what I can’t figure out,” Tang Fei looked at Yan Wenli, adopting a humble tone, “Three months ago, I hadn’t even entered the Monitoring Bureau, nor had I officially taken over Lu Yunhang’s case.”

“At that time, a company under Yu Bainian transferred money to the assassin company… You say they aren’t related to this case, but that money was indeed transferred by them, before we even started the investigation.”

“If you say they are related to this case… that’s too absurd. Did they know from a long time ago that we were going to investigate Lu Yunhang? And then arranged for someone to shoot the Monitoring Bureau’s inspectors?”

“Planning months in advance, what kind of cunning and intelligence would it take to do such a thing?”

Yan Wenli held his glass, swirling it gently, spoke in a deep voice, “Apparently, some people are getting restless. They are dragging the Yu Family into this to see the attitude of the Monitoring Bureau and inside the palace…”

“The Yu Family is the royal family, a pillar of the state, and also due to Empress Yu, they are a very unique existence…”

“If we treat the Yu Family leniently and do not pursue further, then the case will come to a sudden halt, and it will all be over. If the Yu Family isn’t investigated, how can we investigate the other cases?”

“But if we investigate the Yu Family… that would stir up muddy waters. Whether the Yu Family acted or not, other families would also step in…”

“When one falls, the rest feel the chill. We are investigating the Lu Family, which makes the other families feel threatened… If we can add some resistance by this, why not do it?”

“Yes,” Tang Fei nodded, speaking approvingly, “The director’s analysis makes sense. We had just started, and they couldn’t sit still… I’m also confused now, knowing clearly that Yu Bainian is just a bait, yet we can only hold onto him tightly.”

Yan Wenli looked at Tang Fei and asked, “The work of the Lu Family?”

“I’m not sure,” Tang Fei honestly said.

Yan Wenli’s eyes turned piercing, “Whoever is involved, pull them out for me…

“We can’t always be led by the nose, we need to find a way to turn passiveness into activeness. Only then can we find the real culprit behind the scenes in the shortest time.”

Tang Fei looked seriously at Yan Wenli and asked, “Director, what if the Yu Family is truly involved?”

“Impossible,” Yan Wenli firmly denied, “They couldn’t possibly do such a thing.”

Knowing the most sensible course was to drop the question during such a moment, given Tang Fei’s shrewd and manipulative nature,

Yet, he stubbornly asked again, “I mean if… If the Yu Family is involved, should we still continue the investigation?”

Yan Wenli paused his drinking, his eyes deeply looking at Tang Fei, and asked, “What exactly are you trying to say?”

“Director, I’m afraid of death,” Tang Fei stated bluntly.
