Chapter 103 - Drag Feng Tianlan to Court (1/2)
There were still several days until Feng Xiang’s fiftieth birthday celebration—if he could get the token sooner, that would be for the best. He planned to use this opportunity to bully Feng Tianlan into giving him the token.
Accordingly, he quickly broke his promise that she would be kept alive until his birthday celebration.
Feng Tianlan merely snorted. She’d expected Feng Xiang to break this promise, but she hadn’t expected him to do it so soon. Did he really think she was stupid enough to obediently hand over the token to him?
She was waiting to see how much more shameless he could be.
Seeing that Feng Xiang had spoken, the protestors stopped and turned to him, waiting for him to continue.
“A life for a life—it’s only right. As such, I am willing to turn in a family member for justice’s sake!” Feng Xiang shouted in a grave voice. “Guards! Tie up Feng Tianlan and drag her to court! Whether she lives or dies is entirely up to the judge!”
Feng Xiupei stood up, pulled on Feng Xiang’s arm, and sincerely begged him, “Father, don’t do it. That is my sister! All this started because of me, so don’t blame Eldest Sister! If you want to send someone to court, send me instead!”
“Pei’er, you are a strong fighter who is about to become a Spiritualist King. You are also the South Winds Nation’s only hope for becoming a strong country! How can you be a scapegoat for a good-for-nothing? I will not allow this!” Feng Xiang said this resolutely, as if he truly believed in making sure that justice was served.
Seeing the two of them put on such a well-coordinated act, Feng Tianlan snorted even louder and said, “I see that Father is really willing to give up everything to uphold justice.”
Feng Xiang’s face darkened. He stared at Feng Tianlan coldly—was she using the token to threaten him? Did she think he was so easily intimidated?
So long as he could send Feng Tianlan to the dungeon, then she would be the one who was threatened.
“All eyes are on us now, so I’m really not able to get you out of this. But don’t worry, I’ll find a way to bail you out.”
Feng Xiang’s words meant that, regardless of whether Feng Tianlan had killed anyone or not, she was going to be labelled a murderer. If she were exonerated, it would only be because of the Feng family’s influence and power.
Humph!
