Chapter 488 Duan Feng's Decision
Yu Cang was eating hard, and suddenly, the conversation in the banquet hall gradually weakened.
He looked up and saw that many people's eyes were focused on the front - Duan Zhang was standing there.
Duan Zhang spoke, and with the infusion of soul energy, his voice spread throughout the venue without a microphone:
"Thank you very much, everyone, for coming to today's dinner."
Duan Zhang was dressed in a suit and had a smile on his face, which was quite impressive, but the bruises at the corners of his eyes looked a bit funny.
Duan Zhang naturally had the ability to use the corresponding soul card to quickly reduce the swelling, and the reason he kept it was naturally for Yu Cang to see... Even if it could arouse a little bit of sympathy, it would be good.
But it seemed that Yu Cang didn't buy it.
"The purpose of our gathering here today is to celebrate Yu Cang's winning the college league championship, and it is the most valuable championship in history!"
Duan Zhang raised the wine glass in his hand.
"Let us..."
Bang!
Duan Zhang didn't finish his words, suddenly!
The door of the banquet hall was suddenly opened, and a group of people entered in a line. The leader was a middle-aged man with white hair, but he walked with a strong aura.
"It's so lively." Wang Manxiao smiled, "Master Duan... why didn't you invite our Wang family to hold a banquet?"
Swish!
The scene was so lively that you could hear a pin drop, and the atmosphere dropped to freezing point in an instant!
Everyone looked at Duan Zhang, only to see that the smile on his face had frozen at this time.
Wang family... why are they here?
Duan Zhang cursed in his heart.
He didn't invite them at all, they came uninvited!
"...Master Wang, today is a family dinner. If you want to talk to me, I can find another time."
"I think today is a good day." Wang Manxiao smiled even more, "How can we celebrate Yu Cang's victory without the Wang family... Hui'er has been talking about it in my ear for a long time."
Behind Wang Manxiao, Wang Hui looked at Yu Cang, winking and making eyes, his eyes full of "I'm here to support you!"
Yu Cang: "..."
What is this?
Help, his toes have already started working, and he has already carved out a room and a living room with such skill.
"...Then I won't receive you." Duan Zhang narrowed his eyes slightly, "Master Wang, find a seat yourself..."
"Don't worry." Wang Manxiao snorted, "Before the party starts, let me say a few words - Duan Zhang, your Duan family has been quite powerful in recent years, making the entire imperial capital a mess... Humph, how did you treat Yu Cang a year ago, I don't think I need to say more, right? Now you have the nerve to hold a celebration banquet for Yu Cang here?"
As soon as these words came out, Duan Zhang's face suddenly darkened.
He was naturally very clear about what Yu Cang had experienced that year, but he didn't dare to mention it now, so he could only take a roundabout way to compensate Yu Cang a little.
Wang Manxiao said it so directly, which was equivalent to tearing his face directly!
What the hell...
"Using the power of the family to bully a student... You are so good at it." Wang Manxiao's eyes became more and more fierce, "However, the luck of your Duan family ends here today."
Duan Zhang frowned: "What do you mean?"
"Before coming here, I have submitted a lot of documents to the association... Do you want to guess what's in them?"
Duan Zhang: "..."
After that, Wang Manxiao looked at Yu Cang's position and said: "Yu Cang, don't worry, Uncle Wang will definitely give you justice this time and thoroughly investigate the truth of that year... No one can slander you for academic fraud!"
Yu Cang: "..."
Does anyone really dare to say that now?
However, when he was expelled from school, the Duan family exaggerated this matter into academic fraud, which is indeed a small stain.
Maybe thousands of years later, this matter will become a "wild history record" blah blah.
Maybe it will evolve into ditch literature.
So if someone helps to clarify, he will be happy to watch the show.
Of course, Yu Cang knew that this was just a point Wang Manxiao found to deal with the Duan family.
So he continued to eat and didn't dare to respond to Wang Manxiao... He was afraid of embarrassing himself.
When Wang Manxiao finished speaking, Duan Zhang's face suddenly calmed down.
He said slowly:
"What the head of the Wang family said is indeed true, but I know very little about what happened back then." He said, "To be honest, my third brother... Duan Zai, actually became a card banner. This is the first day I know about it. Over the years, he has used the influence of the Duan family to do bad things secretly. What happened to Yu Cang back then was one of them."
Wang Manxiao smiled: "You don't mean to say that you don't know about all this, right?"
Duan Zhang nodded: "That's true."
He did lack a person of importance to take the blame, and now Duan Zai is just right.
"Even children won't believe it."
"It's indeed my fault for not disciplining them strictly." Duan Zhang's face was full of self-blame. "In fact, I had already carried out a major purge of the Duan family before coming here, and I was also injured. I'm sorry to make you laugh. We won't just turn the page on what happened back then. We feel deeply guilty about what happened to Cang, and we will definitely give him satisfactory compensation!"
He took a deep breath and looked at Yu Cang: "The Duan family is not a famous family, but it still has some property. If Yu Cang doesn't mind, we are willing to give..."
"The head of the Duan family is really generous." A voice came from the corner.
Hearing this voice, Duan Zhang's face turned ugly again.
He was very familiar with the owner of this voice.
Qiu Hailie... the head of the Qiu family!
He was one of his allies.
Speaking at this time... Duan Zhang's heart had begun to panic.
"Head of the Duan family." Qiu Hailie raised the wine glass in his hand, "Can you come up with anything decent now?"
"... Qiu Hailie, I haven't treated you badly, right?" Duan Zhang frowned, "We are allies, what do you mean by that?"
"Hey, don't talk nonsense." Qiu Hailie smiled, "It's just some economic cooperation, not an alliance - you do those shitty things, I'm too lazy to get involved, but Yu Cang is a friend of my precious son, he has been wronged, I have to help him vent his anger."
Duan Zhang: "..."
Qiu Hailie picked up a dessert and threw it into his mouth.
"Don't think about it. The properties you want to compensate Yu Cang no longer belong to you."
Duan Zhang narrowed his eyes: "What do you mean?"
"You know it very well. Do you need me to explain it?" Qiu Hailie shrugged, "As the saying goes, the righteous will have many supporters, while the unrighteous will have few supporters. The Duan family is doing dirty things, and everyone can see it. We don't need to care about what means to deal with people like you."
"You guys?"
Duan Zhang found something wrong. He swept his eyes across the status of the Ling family and the Luo family in the crowd and found that they were all calm, but the expressions facing him had lost their former friendliness.
Qiu Hailie continued, "Master Duan has some tricks. It took us a lot of effort to annex the Duan family's industries...Master Duan, Yu Cang doesn't look down on you, and you can't give much now."
Duan Zhang: "..."
"Don't look surprised, you guessed it a long time ago, right?" After that, Qiu Hailie bowed to Yu Cang, "Friend Yu Cang, 50% of the Duan family's industries are now in our hands. If you are willing, you can transfer them to your name after the party."
"...I didn't expect you to turn against each other at this time." Duan Zhang clenched his fists, but at this point, he could only bite the bullet and continue, "Yu Cang, please believe in the sincerity of the Duan family... The Duan family has been operating in the imperial capital for many years, and it is impossible for some rats to empty their assets in a few strokes. We can afford the compensation!
"Moreover, the Duan family still has influence in the imperial capital. After today, we will do our best to clean up your stains and give you a clean name! "
...
"There is no need for the head of the Duan family to take action on this matter."
A voice suddenly came, and everyone in the field looked at the source of the voice.
I saw an old man with white hair and a smile walking into the banquet hall with a cane.
This old man seemed to have no aura, but everyone present showed a serious look, and there were already many discussions in the dark.
This person is the guardian of the country.
After entering the room, he walked all the way to Yu Cang and bowed: "Friend Yu Cang... How are you?"
Yu Cang: (chew chew chew).
He knows this old man.
The president of the Imperial Capital University, Bian Hong!
Bian Hong looked apologetic: "Friend Yu Cang... I am deeply ashamed of such a bad incident at the Imperial Capital University... It was my poor supervision at the beginning. Now the matter is clear. The dean of the Card Maker Academy who approved your withdrawal has been dismissed by me, and I have filed a lawsuit against him. Don't worry, I promise you that he will never leave the prison for the rest of his life. "
The Imperial Capital is a deep place.
The same is true for Imperial Capital University.
Various forces are intertwined in it. Throwing a brick into it can knock out seven or eight pawns of forces.
Even though he is the president of the Imperial Capital and a guardian of the country, it is difficult to deal with this situation... If he is not careful, he will lose his position.
He didn't even know about the incident a month after it happened, and he couldn't do anything about it.
Now...it's just the right time to use Yu Cang's power to clean up some of the rotten roots.
And Yu Cang must be won over.
Didn't you see that after Gudu University had Yu Cang, now What has it developed into?
After the emergence of the new resonance method, Jieying Campus has become a holy place for all card makers! Now in various wild rankings, Gudu University has become the first, and their Imperial University, due to the previous incident, can't even keep the second place.
This was simply impossible before!
There is no way, this matter must be dealt with after it happened, so he must come today.
Bian Hong looked at Yu Cang with a sincere expression: "Friend Yu Cang... I formally invite you as the president of Imperial University - I don't know if you can come to Imperial University to be a professor? At the same time, please supervise us to rectify the corruption in Imperial University. I promise that I will definitely return a clear academic world to Yan Country!"
Yu Cang: "... I will consider it."
"Of course, this invitation is valid for life." Bian Hong said, "It just so happens that the position of the dean of the Card Maker Academy is still vacant. If you want, you can come to be the dean. I can even give you my position as the president - I'm just worried that you are busy on weekdays and can't take care of us."
"... I will consider it. "
"Then I look forward to hearing from you." Bian Hong smiled and bowed, "As for what happened back then... Don't worry, we have already established a teacher ethics course for this terrible incident. We will supervise all faculty and staff in the future to learn from it, and we will definitely make the truth public, and it will also serve as a warning."
Yu Cang: "..."
"Then I won't bother you anymore."
Bian Hong finished his words, and Duan Zhang's face was extremely gloomy.
It's over, it's all over.
He took a deep breath and spoke with a brave face, about to say something else.
However, this time, before he could say anything, a voice came from the door.
"It's so lively."
A figure appeared there, and in an instant, the already noisy venue suddenly became quiet.
No one dared to speak loudly in front of this person.
Ye Chengming!
Just relying on this surname is enough to make people respect him, not to mention that he is still standing at the highest level of the Yan Kingdom's military...
Even if the murderous aura of a veteran has been restrained at this time, it can still make everyone feel uneasy.
Ye Chengming's sight first stayed on Yu Cang for a moment, and then turned to Duan Zhang.
"Duan Zhang." He said, "We suspect that you have a relationship with the card banner, come with us."
Duan Zhang's face was really panicked this time.
"I didn't... I didn't know anything!"
"You don't have the final say." Ye Chengming's face was calm. "Also, Yu Cang is the winner of the Flame Emperor Medal and an excellent card maker of the association. Given your previous behavior, I have the right to suspect that you are suspected of treason, so let's go."
"I..." Duan Zhang's forehead was visibly sweating.
It's over, it's all over.
Ye Chengming is here... The association is definitely serious!
The situation is more serious than he thought, this is to torture himself to death...
At the moment, he could only look at Yu Cang for help.
He knew that although the crime Ye Chengming said was just a suspicion, as long as he followed him, the crime would definitely be confirmed!
At the moment, only Yu Cang's personal words would work!
However...
He clearly saw that Yu Cang was eating the food on the table slowly, without even raising his head, as if he had expected it.
It's over.
Duan Zhang's heart fell into despair.
Who would have thought that it was just targeting a young man back then... but now it would evolve into this?
The whole world is an enemy, I'm afraid it's just like this...
"Hehe..." He couldn't help but laugh miserably.
On the side.
The reason why Yu Cang didn't look up.
Because his embarrassed toes are too busy now!
There are already three rooms and five halls under his feet.
At this time, Ye Chengming's voice came to his ears.
"It's not what I want to come."
Yu Cang raised his eyes and found that Ye Chengming's expression didn't change... It seems to be a voice transmission.
"Emperor Shenhua insisted that I come... He said that the atmosphere is here, let me show my face."
Yu Cang: "..."
What do you mean the atmosphere is here.
You guys... You mean I have to stand up now, sneer with a crooked mouth, and be evil and crazy, right?
Okay, okay, one day he can also experience the feeling of being a dragon king.
Yu Cang sighed and said nothing.
The Duan family... It's gone.
Although I don't care anymore, it doesn't mean I will plead for them.
Unless...
...
"Yu Cang!"
At this time, a voice came from the door.
Yu Cang's expression changed, and he finally raised his head.
This time, the one who appeared at the door was not a military giant or a noble.
It was just a teenager.
Duan Feng took a deep breath, took a step, and with a firm look in his eyes, he passed Wang Manxiao, Bian Hong, Ye Chengming... and came to Yu Cang.
"Yu Cang - I'm sorry."
Yu Cang: "... You don't have to apologize."
"My family did too many things to let you down back then."
"This has nothing to do with you."
Duan Feng shook his head: "I also used the resources that the Duan family plundered by those means... I can't avoid the evil that the Duan family has done. What's more, what happened back then was all caused by me."
Yu Cang's eyes flashed.
"Then what do you want to do."
"... I know that no matter how much I say, no matter how many resources I give you, I can't make up for the damage I caused you back then, but... I beg you."
Duan Feng said, and then he pretended to kneel.
Yu Cang frowned, raised his hand to let Wang Zhiwo stop him, but Duan Feng's strength was so amazing that he knelt on the ground with a thud.
Duan Zhang's face became extremely ugly: "Feng'er! What are you doing... Get up quickly! You don't need to do this!"
Just now, no matter how many people stabbed him in the back or how many powerful people appeared, he never felt any regret in his heart.
Only at this moment, regret has filled his heart.
He shouldn't...he shouldn't!
...
"Yu Cang, I beg you." Duan Feng said word by word, "Save Duan Zhang and Duan Ao's lives - I only ask for this. As for how they spend the rest of their lives, in prison or in the hospital, I don't care.
"I know, this is too much - I have nothing to exchange with you, I only have myself."
Yu Cang was silent.
He clearly saw.
Behind Duan Feng, A Qiu also knelt on the ground.
"Yu Cang - after today!"
Duan Feng's fingers were so strong that his joints were white.
"I will go to the border and fight to the death for Yan Country. If I don't become a myth, I will never step into the country!"
Yu Cang was slightly moved: "You..."
"The day I become a god. "Duan Feng raised his head, "If the country is peaceful and the people are safe, I will die of old age in the frontier; if there is chaos, I will be the sword in your hand!"
In an era, only one legend will be born - it has always been so.
Everyone knows that Yu Cang will probably become this legend.
Then, will Duan Feng become a legend?
No one is optimistic about it now.
But at this moment, the boy's eyes are extremely firm, as if what he said is just a fact that is bound to happen.
