Above the Galaxy-Chapter 587 - 362, the action is getting more intense!

Phoenix Palace.

Zhong Daolong pointed at Tang Fei’s nose and cursed vehemently, "I haven’t even thought through the case yet, and you’re asking us to follow you... How could you say such a thing? Don’t you have a brain?"

"Do you know how many people have come to complain to me? They say you have no respect for the law, say you are arrogant and reckless, say you are lawless... I would want to protect you, but I don’t even know how to defend you..."

"You delivered the weaknesses right into others’ hands, how could they not stab you? Is this how you serve me? How am I supposed to entrust you with even more important matters? How am I supposed to add to your responsibilities?"

Zhong Daolong was evidently infuriated by Tang Fei’s recent actions, exploding like thunder, smashing a bottle of freshly opened Macallan 50 years that was on the table.

When the cursing inside had ceased, Chen Fenglei led two maids in, cleaning up the glass shards on the floor and the wine stains on the table, then silently left with them.

He sneaked a glance at Tang Fei and thought to himself, this boy has indeed become too arrogant lately.

Even if you have the backing of the Monitoring Bureau and the Royal Family, the act of arresting someone before assigning a charge...

You can do it, but you can’t shout about it in public, can you?

Isn’t this giving those long-suppressed adversaries a chance to strike?

Recently the whole Phoenix City was on edge, Tang Fei’s domineering declaration had become a household phrase, spreading like a virus everywhere.

"He’s still too young."

Yan Wenli took off his hat and placed it on the table, his sparse hair sloppily draped over his head.

He held in his hand a glass of Macallan 50 years given to him by Zhong Daolong when he entered, which was the only cup that had survived.

He didn’t speak, eyes on his nose, nose on his heart, savoring the taste as if he was completely immersed in the historic peaty excellence.

Zhong Daolong had cursed for a while and felt tired, he sat back down on the sofa, looked up at the young man standing before him with bowed eyes, and spoke, "What? You think I scolded you wrongly? Feeling wronged in your heart?"

"Thunder and rain are both graces from the King; I harbor no grievance or dissatisfaction in my heart," Tang Fei straightened his back, answering loudly.

How could a leader be wrong? Every mistake was his own.

Tang Fei had never been in a workplace, but he understood the principles of human interaction.

Thus, whether it’s your superior or a woman, when they ask you if you were mistaken, what you’re supposed to do is to apologize immediately...

Not fiercely explain that you were not at fault.

"Thunder and rain... hmph, there’s still grievance inside," Zhong Daolong sipped his tea to moisten his throat, looked at Tang Fei, and said, "I’ll give you a chance to explain, speak up... tell me what you were thinking."

"The reason I said that was because they infuriated me. I politely asked Qin Yuyang to help us solve the case, but not only did they not cooperate, they even told me to get lost, saying they would make me regret it..."

"If they had cursed at me, I could have endured it. After all, I’m from the Old Land, how dare I provoke these deeply-connected young masters? But at that time, I was wearing the uniform of the Monitoring Bureau, I represented the face of the Monitoring Bureau... that, I could not tolerate."

"In a moment of anger, I said what I shouldn’t have... I didn’t expect things to escalate to this extent. They only publicized how arrogant I was, yet they made no mention of those young masters’ insults and attacks on us inspectors..."

Yan Wenli drank down the rest of the liquor in his glass and then set down the now empty cup, looking at Zhong Daolong and said, "As we mentioned our Monitoring Bureau and our inspector, I must also speak some words of fairness..."

"It is well known that our inspectors do not have a good reputation, nicknames like ’black dog skin’ and ’King Yan’ are endless..."

"When they go out to handle cases, there are those who are afraid, those who hate, but there are none who respect... Qin Yuyang is a child of the Qin Family, and those who can hang out with him must also come from significant backgrounds... This bunch has been used to having their way in Phoenix City, naturally, they look down on Tang Fei who comes without any backing."

"They are young, and Tang Fei is also young... They said some offensive words, and naturally, Tang Fei felt uncomfortable, and those inappropriate words just slipped out..."

"Hehe, youthful vigor, who hasn’t been young before? If it were us, naturally, we would be extremely cautious, but how would Tang Fei know to navigate these intricacies? There, without care, he fell right into their trap..."

Zhong Daolong’s expression eased slightly, seeming to accept Yan Wenli’s explanation.

Yan Wenli’s gaze once again fell on Tang Fei’s face, he spoke out, "The King is also doing this for your own good. He trusts you, uses you, that’s why he’s willing to discuss this with you..."

"Otherwise, the King, busy with thousands of tasks daily, we would find it difficult to even get an appointment to see him... How could you just meet him whenever you wish?"

"Yes, I understand," Tang Fei bowed deeply again to Zhong Daolong, sincerely saying, "I misspoke, I made mistakes, please, King, punish me."

Zhong Daolong saw Tang Fei’s sincere apology, waved his hand, and said nonchalantly, "Whether or not to punish you is a matter to be considered later. You just mentioned they’re fixated on your statement, spreading it everywhere... you’ve given them just the reason they needed to retaliate."
