Yun Miao was reborn. The moment she opened her eyes, she was forced into an engagement with a stranger and told she was getting married soon.
Her wicked younger sister, unwilling to marry the...
The matter of Feng Yaoyao eventually came to nothing.
The Feng family had no way to deal with Feng Chengyuan. Even if they hated Feng Chengyuan's actions, they had no way to do anything to him. Moreover, things had come to this point. It would be more reliable to get some tangible benefits from Feng Chengyuan.
So, after some negotiations, Mr. Feng expressed his thoughts.
"The Seventh Legion was founded by your father. Now that it's in your hands, you've carried forward its prestige. However, given your current situation, I doubt you'll be able to continue leading the army in battle. Why not start selecting a suitable successor now? I think An Nan is a good candidate. Keep him by your side and train him well..."
As Feng Chengyuan listened to what Old Man Feng said, his eyes gradually turned cold.
After Mr. Feng finished speaking, Feng Zhen and Feng Qing also looked at Feng Chengyuan, waiting for his answer.
Feng Chengyuan sneered and said, "What if I don't want to?"
Old Master Feng moved his hands, as if he wanted to use his cane to poke the ground to express his anger, but he finally held back and softened his tone and said to Feng Chengyuan, "Chengyuan, you can't act on impulse. This concerns the future of the Feng family. Do you want the Seventh Legion to fall into the hands of outsiders?"
Seeing that Feng Chengyuan was unmoved, a trace of impatience flashed in Old Man Feng's eyes. He rubbed his forehead with his hand, revealing a bit of fatigue and said, "Okay, this matter is settled. Let's all go."
After saying that, Mr. Feng quickly stood up and left in a hurry with the support of Feng Zhen and Feng Qing. His back looked as if he was afraid that if he was a step slower, his plan would fail.
Yun Miao stood quietly by and watched the whole process. He was a little dumbfounded at this moment.
These people are really rude and don't consider whether Feng Chengyuan will agree to this. Are they sure they have him in their hands?
"Your Excellency the Admiral."
Butler Wu also looked at Feng Chengyuan with some concern, afraid that he would be angry about this, but Feng Chengyuan just waved his hand and calmly said two words.
"go back."
Yun Miao didn’t understand what Feng Chengyuan was thinking. A person like him didn’t seem like someone who would compromise so easily, but now he didn’t express any opinions. Did he agree with those people’s arrangements?
Although he had many doubts in his mind, it was not Yun Miao's place to ask about these things. After returning, Yun Miao did not disturb Feng Chengyuan and went back to his room to catch up on his sleep.
After Feng Chengyuan and Butler Wu returned to the room, Butler Wu told Feng Chengyuan what he had done last night while looking for someone without waiting for Feng Chengyuan to ask.
"When I came back, I secretly placed a miniature recording device in Patriarch Feng's study. Following your instructions, during the few days I stayed, I kept hinting at you to investigate Madam Chu Li's past. I thought they would definitely react. Last night, while I was searching for someone, I retrieved the recording device and indeed, I extracted some useful information."
As he spoke, Butler Wu operated on his computer and sent several recordings to Feng Chengyuan.
"It's been twenty years. Why did he think of investigating this matter? Didn't he see Chu Li leave a suicide note with his own eyes? Why is he pursuing her again now?"
The voice in the audio was Feng Zhen's, and he sounded very angry.
"Could it be that Feng Ming left some message for that kid before? That's why he became suspicious?"
This is Feng Qing's voice.
Then there was a period of silence, followed by Feng Zhen's voice again.
"No matter what, we must never let anyone know what happened back then. Chu Li...she is a disgrace to our Feng family. Her name must never see the light of day again."
"Father should also urge them a little more. If the Feng family wants to go further, they need someone who can be controlled more easily to act as the spearhead. Feng Ming is not that person, and Feng Chengyuan is not that person either. Their hearts have long since strayed from the Feng family and are beyond their control..."
"What happened back then..."
"Let him investigate. Twenty years have passed. What clues can he possibly find? Chu Li died in an accident. No matter how many years pass, that won't change."
After the audio finished playing, Feng Chengyuan remained silent for a long time, with no expression on his face. However, Butler Wu could feel that Feng Chengyuan was suppressing a rage.
For a moment, the atmosphere in the room seemed to become solemn.
After a long while, Feng Chengyuan slowly loosened his clenched hands, and the awe-inspiring aura on his body gradually subsided.
Now is not the time to be angry. The most important thing is that he is now very sure that there is definitely something strange about his mother's death, and his father seems to know something, but for some reason he has been hiding it from him?
"Let's go to my father's study."
Thinking of the safe that Butler Wu mentioned before, Feng Chengyuan suddenly became interested and wanted to see what was inside.
The two of them quickly arrived at the study, which had been sealed up since Feng Ming and Feng Chengyuan moved out.
It’s Feng Ming’s intention.
He was the undisputed jewel of the Feng family back then, and his words were as effective as those of Old Man Feng. He made sure that no one dared to enter the sealed place, which might be the reason why no one discovered the things inside after so many years.
Butler Wu walked forward and pushed open the bookshelf, and sure enough, the safe hidden behind it was revealed.
Feng Chengyuan stepped forward and reached out to touch the safe, only to see a light screen suddenly light up on it, flashing red light, and several red prompts popped up.
【If it is not me, please stop the operation immediately. 】
[If you fail three times, the stored items will be automatically destroyed. Please try carefully.]
Feng Chengyuan ignored it and directly clicked on the unlocking interface. After thinking for a while, he entered a few numbers, and the red prompt appeared again.
【Unlock failed.】
Seeing the red font, Feng Chengyuan frowned.
He entered the password his father had always used, but it showed "Unlock failed"? Could it be? What could it be?
Because of the limit on the number of times, Feng Chengyuan did not try rashly, but carefully recalled the most likely password to unlock it.
Suddenly, as if he thought of something, he reached out and touched the unlocking interface of the light screen again, and quickly pressed a line of numbers.
He was not at all nervous. In fact, when he pressed the line of numbers, he felt heavy in his heart, because that line of numbers was the time of his mother's death, which his father had asked him to remember.
【Unlock successful.】
With a "click" sound, the safe was unlocked.
