If Master Zhang wants to see you, you must allow me to inquire first. Only if Miss Hua agrees can you be invited in.
Otherwise, if we accidentally startle Miss Hua and something happens, well… we can't afford to take that responsibility!
The vulture's expression grew increasingly grim.
This person surnamed Feng was giving him a heads-up, telling him to be polite to Hua Changle.
Feng Tao clearly knew that they had come to interrogate him, yet they still said such things, wasn't they clearly using the Hua family to pressure their Eagle Hall?
Feng Tao smiled but remained silent.
At that moment, a deep voice suddenly came from inside the car:
"I'll take responsibility."
Feng Tao's smile froze slightly.
He looked at the person getting out of the car and his heart skipped a beat: Zhang Ying! Why did he come in person! This is going to be difficult!
Eagle stood with his hands behind his back in front of Feng Tao, his eyes lowered, and said coldly, "Now, can we go in?"
Feng Tao glanced at the gatekeeper who had already gone inside, then smiled and said, "Of course, I can't let Master Ying stand outside the door. That's not how my Cultural Relics Protection Bureau treats its guests."
Zhang Ying snorted coldly and stepped inside.
Hua Changle and Iris, who were waiting, received a message from the doorway.
Iris was taken aback: "What? Zhang Ying has come in person?"
She looked at Hua Changle with concern: "Le Bao, this person doesn't mean any harm."
Hua Changle narrowed his eyes slightly: "Interesting. This style of doing things doesn't seem like the legendary Eagle Master."
"What should we do now?" Iris said. "It doesn't matter if we take a tough stance when Vulture comes, but Zhang Ying is the head of the Eagle Hall after all. It would probably not be wise to have a direct conflict with him."
Iris frowned: "Tsk, if this were in District Nine, I could crush him with one finger!"
But this is District Seven. Le Bao, you still need to investigate. We can't afford to fall out with him, and I can't reveal my identity. What if Zhang Ying insists on an apology and compensation from you?"
"It's unlikely," Hua Changle said calmly. "Zhang Ying must have other motives."
"How so?"
Hua Changledao:
"If it were just to interrogate them, they wouldn't have pretended to be just vultures coming. Instead, they would have widely announced that Lord Eagle had come in person, giving the Eagle Hall a full chance to save face."
But Zhang Ying's secret visit is clearly not to save face, but to catch me off guard.

We need to speed up the plot!
