At this moment, Chen Fan, although he had no backers to call upon, was even more shocking than when the Crown Prince of the Yan Family appeared in Hangzhou at that meeting!
As those beneath the podium shifted their gaze from Chen Fan toward Emperor Yanqing, Ling Wei did not look away. He still stared with wide eyes, his face deathly pale, looking at Chen Fan—or, more precisely, at Nalan Xiangxiang by Chen Fan's side.
Because of his hatred for Nalan Xiangxiang, he once felt a prideful thrill in presenting himself before her, even if only as a dog beside Emperor Yanqing.
That mindset was as if, just seeing Nalan Xiangxiang debased, her pride torn apart in front of everyone, would give him immense satisfaction!
And this trip to Dalian, knowing that Emperor Yanqing would take action against the Nalan Family, and that Emperor Yanqing had promised to appoint him as the head of the Dalian Commercial Bureau, he was full of anticipation.
Eager for a meeting with Nalan Xiangxiang.
