Chapter 430 - Chapter 430: Chapter 437: A Piece of Kindness (2/2)

“The master is benevolent!”

“To have such a good master is a blessing for us all. From here on, we will serve him wholeheartedly to repay his kindness,” the Subordinates expressed.

A benevolent master was preferable to a cold and cruel one. When Liu Xiu expressed his viewpoint, he received full support from his Subordinates. Even Yin Shi, inwardly dissatisfied, showed loyalty, convincing Liu Xiu even more of the righteousness of his decision.

“In that case, let’s call Xiu Qi over and discuss it together. Although we haven’t come up with a good solution yet, Xiu Qi is sharp and adept at strategy; he may have found a way to deal with this,” Liu Xiu, realizing the urgency, decided to summon Han Yu immediately to discuss their countermeasures.

“There’s no need to send someone specially. Big Brother Han will be here soon,” Chen Li quickly spoke as Liu Xiu was about to dispatch someone to fetch Han Yu.

Liu Xiu looked at Chen Li with suspicion, “Ah Li, how do you know Brother Han will come?”

Chen Li chuckled, a glint of guilt crossing her eyes. She didn’t mention that she had already sent someone to deliver a message to Han Yu, ensuring he would receive her communication before she confidently made those arguments—it wasn’t ignorance, but security she had prepared. She was no fool; knowing their secret, if Liu Xiu didn’t take her side and they turned on her, deciding to silence her, what then?

It wasn’t just alarmist talk. She didn’t know about the others, but she was certain someone as sinister as Yin Shi was capable of such deeds; otherwise, he wouldn’t have made such suggestions. Moreover, Chen Li knew of other ruthless acts committed by Yin Shi.

But Chen Li wasn’t foolish enough to disclose her intentions at that moment, she simply explained, “I actually heard some rumors from Chang’an City, knowing that Big Brother Liu would be anxious about this matter, so I also invited Big Brother Han over to discuss. He should be here soon.”

“I see,” Liu Xiu nodded, not suspecting Chen Li of deceiving him. After all, she had always seemed simple and straightforward, and there was no reason for her to lie to him about such matters.

“Yes, I was just overly worried when I heard the news, so I acted impulsively and invited Big Brother Han over directly. You won’t blame me for taking the initiative, will you?” Chen Li asked, her expression tinged with regret, fearing Liu Xiu might be upset.

Liu Xiu, not overthinking it, appreciated her concern, “Of course not. You meant well. In that case, I won’t bother summoning anyone; we’ll just wait here for Brother Han to arrive.”

Han Yu was busy dealing with matters in the military camp when he learned that Chen Li’s Servant girl urgently wished to see him. Considering the current situation, despite his reluctance, he agreed to meet with the Servant girl and received the note in his hand.
