Chapter 1581 — Feng Tianlong's Thoughts: "It Really Does Seem Hopeless," Yang Huaijun Said Helplessly

"The man behind the scenes was clearly prepared for this suspect to be captured. That being the case, he's not afraid of what this person might say," Wei Zhao said.
"Yeah, it looks like we'll have to think of another way," Yang Huaijun nodded.
"I'll go back and think it over, see if there's any way. If there really isn't, then I'll have no choice but to apologize," Wei Zhao said. "Jun-ge, Lingshan, Chengtian and I are heading back first. Over the next few days I need to find an opportunity to break through; otherwise, I won't be able to avenge Chen Yuxuan at the Great Families' Assembly."
"That works, so hurry back!" Yang Huaijun nodded. "There's nothing more for you to handle here. Since the suspect was caught red-handed, even if he doesn't say anything, the evidence is conclusive. It's just that the one behind him gets off too easily..."
After taking his leave, Wei Zhao returned to the villa with Wu Chengtian.
On the way, Wu Chengtian said apologetically, "Leader, I let you down. I didn't expect to be so weak..."
"It's not your fault. You've done your best." Wei Zhao waved his hand. "Once I break through to the Earth-stage, I'll enhance your strength!"
"Great!" Wu Chengtian grew excited after hearing Wei Zhao's words. "That means I'm going to surpass my grandfather soon! Just thinking about it excites me. Leader, do you think our Wu family can move up a rank at this Great Families' Assembly?"
"Move up? Who's going to move you up?" Wei Zhao asked with a smile.
"Why, the Yu family, of course..." Wu Chengtian's expression turned rather odd as he said that.
"After this Great Families' Assembly, the Yu family will no longer be a great family," Wei Zhao said calmly.
"Awesome!" Wu Chengtian said, utterly thrilled. "Leader Wei Zhao, I've been studying the true essence of swagger all along, but only now do I realize that swagger alone isn't enough—you have to be truly formidable to pull it off! Just like you, Leader: one simple sentence, yet the absolute height of swagger!"
"..." Wei Zhao was a bit speechless. "Can't you spend your time studying something worthwhile?"
"Fine... I'll train hard, for sure!" Wu Chengtian nodded hurriedly.
Wei Zhao didn't go straight home; instead, he called Feng Tianlong. Since returning this time, he'd first run into a problem, and then came the college entrance exam. Wei Zhao hadn't had time to go see Feng Tianlong, and he was sure Feng Tianlong must be very anxious about Xiaoxiao. So after settling matters here, the first person Wei Zhao contacted was Feng Tianlong.
"Uncle Feng, where are you?" Wei Zhao asked.
"Xiao Yi? You're back?" Upon hearing Wei Zhao's voice, Feng Tianlong was both surprised and delighted. "How's Xiaoxiao? Did you find the Fire Spirit Holy Fruit?"
"I didn't find the Fire Spirit Holy Fruit, but I do have good news for you. Where are you?" Wei Zhao asked.
"Where are you? I'll come find you." Feng Tianlong evidently didn't find it convenient to reveal his whereabouts.
"In that case, let's meet at the Gu family villa. I'll wait for you there," Wei Zhao said.
"All right," Feng Tianlong said. "I'll be right over."
By the time Wei Zhao returned to the villa, Feng Tianlong had just arrived as well; the two cars drove into the villa one after the other.
"Uncle Feng!" Wei Zhao called out after getting out of the car.
"Xiao Yi, how is it?" Feng Tianlong nodded, but his mind was entirely on Feng Xiaoxiao, so he was in no mood for pleasantries with Wei Zhao.
"Xiaoxiao is already awake, and everything is normal," Wei Zhao said, seeing what was on Feng Tianlong's mind.
"Oh? Then where's Xiaoxiao?" Feng Tianlong looked around, yet didn't see his daughter, and couldn't help feeling puzzled.
"Let's go inside and talk in detail." Wei Zhao made a gesture inviting him in and ushered Feng Tianlong into the house.
In the living room, Tang Zhi, Gu Mengyao, and Shen Yushu were watching TV. With the college entrance exam over, they could finally relax a little.
