"Based on my understanding of Uncle Sheng, he wouldn't do something so rash and expose a secret. This time he's acting unusually... could something have gone wrong?"
"No, it's only because he has foreseen the outcome in advance."
"Hmm?"
"If Shen Wuxiang asks him to take sides, will he or will he not? If he decides to stand with Shen Wuxiang, then he must go all out to help them deal with us..."
"If he's unwilling to side with Shen Wuxiang, how could Shen Wuxiang tolerate him? The position of Finance Minister is so crucial, controlling the rise and fall of a nation's economy... Shen Wuxiang would certainly replace him with someone from his own."
"So... if I'm not mistaken, Uncle Sheng is unwilling to stand with Shen Wuxiang."
Phoenix sized up Tang Fei thoughtfully and said, "It seems he's really treating you as a prospective son-in-law."
Tang Fei, with the thick skin of a city wall, surely wouldn't be embarrassed by Phoenix's slight tease.
