"He must have other motives."
Iris gasped, pressing her forehead: "What is he trying to do? Oh no, oh no, oh no, my CPU is fried!"
Hua Changle was amused by her: "Actually, it's not hard to guess, there are only a few possibilities."
"In short, it's to restrain me, so that I can't investigate the She family's affairs and can't be distracted from helping Hua Qingyun."
Iris asked in confusion, "Won't this cause trouble?"
"How could it be troublesome?" Hua Changle laughed. "When have I ever gone to the trouble of investigating the She family's businesses?"
“Our real target has never been She Haoyun.”
"Openly repair the plank road while secretly crossing the Chencang pass."
"Do you understand?"
Iris stared wide-eyed: "..."
Iris grabbed a handful of her hair: "I think I might be starting to get a brain~"
Hua Changle chuckled and patted her hand: "It's alright, just follow me."
At this moment, Feng Tao's assistant walked in and asked, "Miss Hua, Mr. Zhang Ying from Eagle Hall has arrived and wishes to see you. Would you like to move to the reception room?"
Hua Changle raised her hand, and Iris pushed her to the reception room.
Eagle sat in the head seat, with Feng Tao sitting below him, some distance between them. Vulture sat on Eagle's other side.
The wheelchair made a soft clattering sound, and upon seeing Hua Changle, Feng Tao immediately stood up: "Miss Hua has arrived."
The vulture glanced at Eagle Master and, seeing him sitting steadily, lowered its supporting leg and also sat firmly.
Hua Changle nodded to Feng Tao, who then pushed her to a position above him, almost level with Eagle. It turned out that the empty space Feng Tao had left was a reserved spot for Hua Changle.
Looking at the girl who was sitting on equal footing with him, Eagle's eyes revealed an undisguised contempt, showing that he didn't take her seriously.
Hua Changle leaned away from Eagle Master, his gaze casually falling on him, exuding utter laziness: "I heard Eagle Master specifically asked to see me? What is it?"
Her voice was languid, and her attitude was even more nonchalant, which also carried a sense of contempt for Master Ying.
Vulture's face immediately turned ugly, and although Eagle's expression changed slightly, he was also not comfortable with it.
Eagle looked at the thin, sickly-looking girl in the wheelchair and thought to himself: What an arrogant little brat!
Although he was furious, Eagle didn't show it in his tone:
“Miss Hua, I have long admired your name. The first reason I have come here today is to pay my respects to you. Since you have come to District Seven, my Eagle Hall has not yet fulfilled its duty as a host. This is my oversight.”
"oh."
Hua Changle responded casually, "And the second reason? Why did you come?"
Eagle choked for a moment, annoyed: This little brat has no manners at all!
Normally, he's speaking so politely; shouldn't he at least exchange a few courteous pleasantries? Why isn't he playing by the rules?
Eagle's carefully prepared speech became utterly useless.
He was speechless, and Hua Changle urged, "Not going to answer? Is Master Ying making up a second one on the spot?"
Zhang Ying: Damn it!
This little girl has such a sharp tongue!
"Miss Hua is too kind," Zhang Ying forced a smile. "I have indeed come here today on another matter."
At this point, Zhang Ying sighed, his brows furrowed with worry: "Miss Hua, you may not know, but my wife passed away early, leaving me with only one daughter and no son..."
"I know, let's not chat about everyday things," Hua Changle said calmly.
Zhang Ying, whose emotions had been carefully prepared but were interrupted: ...
Before he could react, Hua Changle continued, "Get to the point and tell me why you've come."
The story Zhang Ying fabricated about his close relationship with Zhang Bi died before it even began!
Hua Changle added with a hint of disdain, "Master Ying looks like a sharp man, so why does he talk so long-windedly?"
Zhang Ying was stabbed in the back again!
Feng Tao silently pursed his lips, lowered his head, but couldn't suppress the slight upturn of his mouth.
Miss Flower's mouth~
Zhang Ying was annoyed and frustrated by the interruption of their conversation twice; his chest heaved noticeably before calming down.
After a while, he lost all interest in smiling at people and began to sit upright, adopting the airs of a leader:
“Miss Hua is a guest, and as one of the hosts, Eagle Hall is naturally willing to treat her with courtesy. However, Miss Hua is new here and yet she beats up a core member of our hall and humiliates him in public. This is going too far.”
Hua Changle rested her chin on her hand, lazily speaking but accurately retorting, "One of the masters, that's a really rare term."
Zhang Ying, who wanted to unify the seven districts but was simply unable to do so: ...
Eagle was cursing under his breath.
Before he could get angry, Iris reminded him, "Miss, Master Eagle is asking you about what happened yesterday."
Zhang Ying was taken aback: Who asked about yesterday's events? I was interrogating you! I demanded an explanation! Who wants to hear your stories!
Hua Changle looked even more reluctant to talk: "Master Ying should already know, right?"
"This Zhang guy was bullying a woman in broad daylight. The young girl almost got hurt. I saw injustice and naturally had to help her. What's wrong with doing a good deed?"
"Moreover, I originally didn't intend to do anything to that guy surnamed Zhang, but that guy was blind and came up to me and even tried to fight me."
Ha, I don't need to tell you what the consequences would be if he laid a hand on me! I was afraid that the man surnamed Zhang would make a grave mistake, which is why I had no choice but to intervene.
The two men surnamed Zhang present looked slightly dark-skinned, and Hua Changle kept referring to them as "Zhang," as if he were specifically targeting them.
"Miss Hua said..."
Before Eagle could finish speaking, Hua Changle interrupted him with a look: "Sorry, let me finish first."
Eagle Master shut down his microphone in frustration.
Hua Changle suddenly realized and said, "Oh~ So Master Ying is angry because I overstepped my bounds and reprimanded the junior on his behalf. If this has upset Master Ying, I apologize to him first."
