Wen Dabao had no intention of answering the unspoken question in the guard's mind. The guard didn't ask either.
Then, the guard went to announce his arrival whilst Wen Dabao waited outside. This time, he didn't have to wait very long.
Wen Dabao entered Ping Yang's residence soon after and was led to the garden. It was no different from yesterday.
Fang Zhengzhi was sipping his tea when he saw Wen Dabao run in. He spat out the tea in his mouth.
”Sh*t!”
Wen Dabao didn't even have time to react before the tea splashed all over his face. He felt extremely humiliated...
”What happened? Who beat you up?” Fang Zhengzhi asked.
”My dad!” Wen Dabao cried.
”Your dad? Oh, why would your dad hit you? Tell us, entertain us.” Fang Zhengzhi seemed to understand what had happened.
”He said that I shouldn't have brought you to the Seven Star Lane.” Wen Dabao wiped the tea off his face.
”That was the only reason?” Fang Zhengzhi chuckled.
”Yes.”
”As a man, you need to have some freedom.”
”What do you mean?”
”I have a plan that will stop your dad from hitting you. From now on, you can also go to the Seven Star Lane openly! What do you think?”
”Are you for real?”
”Of course.”
”Tell me.”
”Let's go again tonight. I want to see how many times your dad can hit you.”
”What?! Wen Dabao's eyes were on the verge of popping out of their sockets. He looked at Fang Zhengzhi in disbelief. Fang Zhengzhi wasn't the one who was going to be beaten up!
However, Wen Dabao couldn't find the words to express his frustration. He looked at Fang Zhengzhi, ”do you have another plan?”
”No.” Fang Zhengzhi rejected him equivocally.
”...”
...
Nighttime. The Seven Star Lane welcomed back four guests. However, this time, Wen Dabao was significantly less excited. In fact, he was extremely bitter.
Wen Dabao walked out of the Seven Star Lane without incident. When he returned, there was a figure waiting for him at the gates.
The figure held a metal pole in his hand.
”Dad, don't hit me!”
”You rascal, you deserve it!”
”Erm... dad, please stop. Fang Zhengzhi... Fang Zhengzhi asked me to tell you something.” Wen Dabao screamed after being hit the first time.
”He asked you to tell me something? Okay, tell me what it is.”
”Fang Zhengzhi said that he would return to the Seven Star Lane tomorrow. He will go every day at the same time for the foreseeable future.”
”He really said that?” The figure's eyes glittered.
”Yes, word for word.”
”I understand. You should probably tag along with him every day. I have already prepared the money for you. You can just ask for more if you need it.” The figure nodded.
”Dad, you're not going to hit me?”
”Nope. Get some rest. Entertain Young Master Fang tomorrow at the Seven Star Lane.”
”No way?! That worked?!” Wen Dabao couldn't believe his eyes when he saw his dad turn and leave. He knew that his dad was a strict person.
But today...
Why would he say something like that?
Fang Zhengzhi's method worked! Not only wasn't he beaten by his dad, his dad had asked him to go to the Seven Star Lane! What just happened?!
...
Inside the Left Prime Minister's residence...
A servant dressed in black knelt in the study. His head was lowered as he heard the knocking sounds next to him.
”Fang Zhengzhi went to the Seven Star Lane again?” Left Prime Minister Yu Yiping's voice rang out.
”Yes, he went with Wen Dabao, Yan Xiu, and Ping Yang. They went and left at about the same time as yesterday.” The servant replied.
”Has King Duan and Chi Hou visited Ping Yang's residence recently?”
”No, King Duan has been in his own residence. As for Chi Hou, other than the first day he spent in King Duan's residence, he has been at the Stabilization Constabulary.”
”I understand. You may leave now.” Left Prime Minister Yu Yiping nodded.
”Yes, sir!” The servant replied, bowed, and took his leave.
Just as the servant left, a respectful voice could be heard from outside. ”Prime Minister, Wen Chuan of the Ministry of Law has requested for an audience with you.”
”Wen Chuan?” Left Prime Minister Yu Yiping frowned. Then, his eyes glittered, ”Mm, let him in.”
”Yes, sir!”
Then, he heard light footsteps before the door to the study was opened. A middle-aged man in black walked through the doors.
He was a stern looking man with thick eyebrows. His eyes seemed closed half the time, and this only served to accentuate the stern aura he exuded.
”I am Wen Chuan from the Ministry of Law. Greetings, Prime Minister!” The middle-aged man bowed as he entered the room.
”Official Wen, you may do away with the formalities. May I know why you're looking for me so late at night?” Left Prime Minister Yu Yiping walked over and helped him up.
”Something small has come up.” Wen Chuan nodded hesitantly.
”Oh? Please tell me what it is. If I can, I will definitely do my best to help.” Left Prime Minister Yu Yiping replied.
”Prime Minister, please save my son!” Wen Chuan fell to his knees.
Left Prime Minister Yu Yiping extended his hands to help Wen Chuan up once again. His eyes were filled with concern.
