Phoenix and Sheng Xinhua are family, sisters, best friends, and confidants.

They share the same interests, appreciate each other, and trust each other with their lives.

They care more about each other than themselves.

Phoenix grew up in the palace, wise and sensitive, maturing faster than her peers.

Therefore, she found it hard to befriend those inept 'socialites'.

What kind of celebrated actors hasn't she seen? Who do you think you are?

Luckily, she met Sheng Xinhua.

Sheng Xinhua was like a light, illuminating the slightly gloomy corners of her heart.

Indeed, in the young Phoenix's heart, Sheng Xinhua is cheerful, magnanimous, wise, and sharp, honest... at least honest to her.

She neither praised herself indiscriminately nor hid her virtues.

She lived transparently, very genuinely.

In everyone's life's journey, there is a 'guide' like role.

Sheng Xinhua was Phoenix's guide, greatly influencing the development of Phoenix's character.

So, when Phoenix returned from the old land, she didn't dare to reveal the emotional entanglements with Tang Fei to her family, but she hid nothing from Sheng Xinhua, telling the entire process of acquaintance with Tang Fei.

She was the person she trusted the most.

Now, upon hearing that Sheng Xinhua was intercepted and taken away by the Security Bureau, Phoenix's face immediately turned pale with worry.

With Shen Wuxiang's current power, if he really wanted to act against the Sheng Family, they would have no ability to resist.

"Don't worry just yet," Tang Fei spoke to comfort her.

He understood the relationship between Phoenix and Mr. Sheng, even he was anxious when he received intel from Ghost coming from Phoenix City.

He was also worried about Mr. Sheng but couldn't let Phoenix know he was very worried.

He couldn't even seem more worried than Phoenix...

Hmm, how to deal with the relationship with a girlfriend's best friend, this is a problem worthy of in-depth study.

And no one offers a training class for it.

"Though Mr. Sheng was intercepted by Security Bureau and prohibited from leaving the country, they were not sent to the Security Bureau's prison but allowed to go home on their own."

"When I got the news, they had already been escorted back to the Finance Minister Mansion at 18 Yanqing Street by the Ministry of Finance guards."

"If I'm not mistaken, Shen Wuxiang is not ready to completely turn against the Finance Minister..."

Hearing that Sheng Xinhua had returned home, Phoenix was slightly relieved.

However, the worry in her pretty eyes remained, and she spoke, "Yes, Shen Wuxiang is cautious of the Finance Minister yet still wants to give him another chance. To see what choice he will ultimately make..."

"Shen Qingping joining us must have provoked Shen Wuxiang's sensitive nerves. Compared to others' defections, Shen Qingping's identity is more sensitive."

"In the upcoming period, Shen Qingping will undoubtedly conduct a bloody purge within the Empire. Every family and clan must clearly state their position, friend or foe."

"Wanting to remain ambiguous as before, sitting on the fence... that is unrealistic."

"Why did Shen Wuxiang suddenly act against the Sheng Family?" Tang Fei asked with a puzzled look, "I heard that not long ago, Shen Wuxiang visited 18 Yanqing Street, and they had a good time chatting... how quickly did his attitude change? Did something happen in the meantime that we don't know about?"

Phoenix gave Tang Fei a sideways glance and said, "You're being disingenuous after getting a bargain...

"What do you mean?" Tang Fei looked puzzled.

Hmm, he pretended.

How could he not know anything? That's just too hypocritical.

Mr. Sheng cared for him in every possible way, and rumors even spread of their romance.

He and Little Fatty often dined at the Sheng Family, neither Sheng Jing nor Mei Yuyin treated him as an outsider...

He returned to Phoenix City under a disguised identity, Sheng Xinhua ruined her reputation for him, and rumors of her sleeping with a rock singer still linger.

Hmm, not exactly rumors...

After all, at that time, Chen Zhuo was indeed lying shirtless on her big bed.

Although Guo Nu didn't 'identify' his true identity, once something is determined in the heart, evidence doesn't matter.

With Shen Wuxiang's wisdom, he could naturally see more things.

Trying to deceive him is unrealistic.

Later Shen Xinglan and Shen Boyu followed, and the three Great Grandmasters gathered at the East Sea shore...

Shen Wuxiang saw Tang Fei with dreadlocks and Lu Siyu with purple hair... could he not know what role Sheng Xinhua played in it?

So, when Sheng Xinhua and Mei Yuyin wanted to 'travel' abroad, they were directly intercepted by Security Bureau dispatched by Shen Wuxiang.

They didn't even bother to act.

Logically, he needs stability within the Empire now.

For internal stability, the economy must be steadily improving, and finance must be flourishing, he shouldn't easily replace the Finance Minister now.

But intercepting the Finance Minister's wife... isn't that a direct slap to the Finance Minister's face?

Tang Fei knew about the sacrifice made by the Sheng Family for him. He could deceive others, but he couldn't deceive himself.

If he did, his conscience would truly be eaten by dogs.

"The reason Shen Wuxiang targeted the Sheng Family naturally has to do with you."

Phoenix is the Empire Princess, having resided in the deep palace for a long time, she naturally understands the mindset changes and tactics of these political figures.

"Shen Wuxiang needed to see where different forces stood, and Uncle Sheng not only didn't come out to support him but tried to send his wife and daughter abroad at the critical moment... how could Shen Wuxiang not be wary?"
