Phoenix looked at Yan Wenli and asked, "What does the director mean?"
"If we let the Lu Family walk away without any consequence, that's a dereliction of our duties," Yan Wenli said with a grim expression and a hoarse voice. "How do we explain this to the citizens? How do we explain it to the King? How do we answer to our own conscience?"
Phoenix understood.
Yan Wenli was not satisfied with the current outcome of the case.
He had handed this case to Phoenix, wanting to inflict serious pain on the Lu Family, possibly even looking to break them apart.
Only then would the Lu Family truly fear the Royal Family.
Whether they surrendered or were devoured, the Royal Family would have much more initiative.
To wrap up the case in such an insignificant way meant nothing changed; the Lu Family would remain the same imperious and fierce force it always had been, which was of no significance to the Royal Family.
