Chapter 51 (2/2)

No one would even imagine, let alone believe, that this matter was actually orchestrated by the teary-eyed, gutless child standing by the side!

At this moment, Yang Wei was narrating the whole process in which the argument had developed: ”... then he said, he said, he was going to tell his aunt's husband about this, and let him take care of me… so I just… I just…” Saying up till here, he secretly lifted up his head to see his grandfather’s expression, and tactfully did not continue talking.

Thankfully, Yang KongQun did not die from anger from this! Yang KongQun repeatedly cursed in his heart: ”How could I have such a idiotic grandson! You would be better off not speaking in this case!” In his heart, he had already understood what exactly happened. In a verbal exchange, it would be natural for one’s tongue to inadvertently slip. If it were a normal person, that would be the end of it, however the person in question was Ling Tian! The ‘aunt's husband’ that Ling Tian had brought out, was someone not in the capacity of Yang Wei to even criticize!

All the surrounding audience all felt the same way; if a child was being bullied, he would naturally look for an adult to protect him. As to why Ling Tian had mentioned his uncle-in-law, it was a matter of fact. In every child’s heart, only the mightiest adult would have the capability to help and protect him. In Ling Tian’s case, among all the people he knew, the first person in his mind would definitely be the Emperor!

This also meant that the Emperor, to Ling Tian, was a figure he respected and was close to! Thus, Yang Wei’s retaliatory sentence not only sealed his fate, but also increased Ling Tian’s reputation in the eyes of the Emperor!

When the crowd separates, word of this would spread to the Emperor’s ears, and his impression of the Ling Family would also improve by a few points! One would definitely think: ”Why would such a small child like Ling Tian be able to speak of asking his uncle-in-law for help? It could only be that their family teachings were good!” Furthermore, this would speak volumes about the loyalty of the Ling Family towards the Emperor. It was the combination of all these factors that made Yang KongQun nearly faint from the anger!

Such a small matter, was reflected into such a big problem, and could even result in long term repercussions! If one were to manipulate it properly, this would be enough to determine the success and failure of both the families! The crowd were not fools — after pondering for awhile, they could not help but show a change in their expressions. In that instant, it was as if all of them were suffering from suffocation, and they collectively sucked in a long breath of cold air! The suction was so great it was as if the entire street had turned into a vacuum in that very moment...

As the commander of the Law Enforcement Squadron, Wan s.h.i.+Fang, saw how the matters had already progressed to such a stage, he could only prudently observe Yang KongQun’s expression as he suggested, ”This matter is out of this small one’s jurisdiction, might I suggest that the two Sires instead pay a visit to the Emperor, and seek divine judgement.”

The crowd remained silent. At this point, who could not guess what the Emperor would say and deal with this matter? What so-called divine judgement was all a formality. However, the solution that Wan s.h.i.+Fang suggested was the only plausible route to take in order to solve this problem! Even though both Ling Zhan and Yang KongQun possessed enough manpower to overflow the heavens in their lifetime, they did not have the ability to resolve this problem amicably.

The two old fellows exchanged a glance. One of them had an expression full of glee, while the other was angered beyond words, with a depressed expression! Both nodded their heads at the same time.

Xiao FengHan only hid behind Ling Zhan from start to the end, coldly watching on as a bystander. Having suffered from a disadvantage before, he naturally could tell with a glance that this matter was, without doubt, another masterpiece created by that little demon! To think he could still reveal such a pitiful look to win the audience’s pity! Today’s matter did not just severely wound the Yang Family, it also greatly boosted the development of the Ling Family. The ingenious part of this was that Ling Tian’s escaped from the spotlight the moment Mister Qin stepped out of the carriage! Thus, Ling Tian managed to continue concealing himself, with the brunt of the impact being taken by Mister Qin.

Such a brilliant plan! The more Xiao FengHan evaluated the successes and failures of this plan, the more he felt as though that pitiful child had an intellect that was as deep as the ocean, vast and unfathomable! He could only suck in a breath of air, and once more seriously reconsider his viewpoint of Ling Tian. As he focused on Ling Tian, he saw Ling Tian turn his head towards him, the corners of his mouth rising upwards in a crafty smile...
