Chapter 1422: Phoenix's Will

Chapter 1422 The Will of the Phoenix

Facing Fenghuang's questioning, the guard looked frightened. He replied hesitantly: "Eldest...eldest lady...I don't know anything, don't ask me..." After saying that, he seemed to be afraid that Phoenix would continue to ask questions, so he turned around and ran away towards the villa.

 When Phoenix saw this, his heart sank. She knew that if she delayed any longer at this moment, she might miss the best opportunity to reveal the truth. So, she rushed towards the villa without hesitation. The guard tried to stop her, but he couldn't even touch the corner of her clothes.

Lin Fan followed closely and followed in. His eyes were always locked on Phoenix, as if no matter where she went, he would always be by her side.

Through a dark and long corridor, the two finally arrived at the Cang family hall. The lights here are brightly lit, with dozens of animal oil lamps shining in every corner, but they cannot illuminate the gloom in people's hearts.

When Fenghuang arrived here, she was shocked to find that the group of dead soldiers who were supposed to obey her father's orders were all like masters at this moment, sitting majestically at the long table of nobles belonging to the Cang family members. They ate meat, drank wine, talked and laughed freely, as if this was their world.

 What about your parents and relatives? But they were like slaves, wearing extremely sloppy clothes, with their heads hanging down, waiting on both sides of the long table. Their faces were full of humiliation and helplessness, but they seemed unable to resist this sudden change.

This scene filled Phoenix's heart with sadness, anger and confusion. She couldn't imagine that the family she was once so proud of would be reduced to such a state. The corners of her eyes could not help but turn red, and she cried out in a crying tone: "What's wrong with you? Why did it become like this?"

However, her call received no response. The dead soldiers were still enjoying their "feast" on their own, while her parents and relatives just stood there silently, using silence to express their inner despair and helplessness.

 Phoenix bit her lower lip tightly, trying to keep calm. She knew now was not the time to cry and question. She needs to figure out what's going on and find a way to return her family to its former glory. And Lin Fan, as the person she trusts most, will undoubtedly become her strongest support in this unknown struggle.

Lin Fan also took a deep breath at this moment, glanced around the hall, and then whispered to Phoenix: "It seems that the situation is much more complicated than we thought. We need to find out the details of these dead soldiers first. And how they control the Cang family. Then we will find ways to formulate countermeasures."

 Phoenix nodded, she knew Lin Fan was right. What they need to do now is not to act impulsively, but to analyze calmly and find the best solution. Only in this way can one's family stand up again and those betrayers pay the due price. Hearing the crisp and familiar voice of Phoenix, the dead soldiers who were still clinking glasses and drinking with their faces flushed felt as if they had been doused with cold water, and their drunkenness disappeared instantly. They suddenly came to their senses and stood up one by one like wild beasts, their eyes full of vigilance and hostility.

The man with silver-white hair and a striking scar on the tip of his eyebrow is none other than Sirius. At this moment, a sinister smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and he looked at Phoenix unscrupulously, "Miss Cang, you are back~" There was a bit of frivolity and disdain in his tone, as if he was not surprised by Phoenix's return.

Fenghuang's pretty face turned pale with anger. She ran to her parents in three steps at a time and held their hands tightly to give herself a sense of security. She raised her head and glared at Sirius, her voice trembling but firm: "Sirius, the Cang family treats you well, why do you treat us like this?" Her eyes were full of disappointment and anger, and she couldn't understand why the once loyal soldier had changed. It looks like this now.

Sirius smiled coldly, and the scar on his face became more ferocious with the smile, "Miss Cang, you have to know that people's desires are endless. Rather than leave such a large family fortune to your Cang family. "It's better to leave it to our 'Snow Wolf Death Soldiers', maybe there will be some improvement." His words were full of greed and ambition, as if he couldn't wait to take everything of the Cang family for himself.

 “Don’t even think about it!” Phoenix shouted angrily, her eyes were already wet and red, with tears swirling in them. She hugged her trembling mother tightly and tried to give her some comfort. Although she knew that she was no match for Sirius and could not use force to drive them out of the Cang family, she still firmly expressed her position and determination in words, "Sirius, take your brothers and give them to me now. Get out of Cang's house!" Although her voice was trembling, it was full of determination and strength.

When Sirius heard this, the smile on his face disappeared instantly, replaced by a cold look. He waved his hand to signal his subordinates to be quiet, and then approached Phoenix step by step, "Miss Cang, don't be so excited. Since our 'Snow Wolf Death Soldiers Group' has decided to take over the Cang family, we will not give up easily. You'd better do it Those who know the current situation are heroes. If you hand over everything from the Cang family, maybe we can still leave a way for you to survive." His tone was full of threats and intimidation, as if he already had a chance to win.

Phoenix didn't flinch. She raised her head and looked directly into Sirius's eyes, "I would rather die than let you succeed!" Although her voice was not loud, it was full of determination and determination. She knew that at this moment, she represented not only herself, but also the dignity and honor of the entire Cang family. She cannot retreat or compromise. Only by persisting to the end can she win a chance for the Cang family.

Following Phoenix's firm statement, the atmosphere on the court suddenly became tense. The dead soldiers held their weapons tightly, their eyes flashing fiercely, as if they were ready to take action at any time. Phoenix, on the other hand, stood tightly in front of his parents, using his body to build a line of defense and vowing to protect them from harm.

This confrontation lasted for a long time, with both sides secretly trying to figure out the other's strength and intentions. Although Sirius looked arrogant and domineering on the surface, in his heart he was a little surprised and afraid of Phoenix's determination and courage. He knew very well that if he took action rashly, even if he could successfully seize everything from the Cang family, he would definitely pay a heavy price. Therefore, he was not eager to take action, but tried to disintegrate Phoenix's will through words.
