Chapter 694 Everywhere are Enemies (5)_1
"What, does Miss Li intend to report this to the authorities for a reward?" The man asked with a cold sneer, but inwardly he was anxious. He had agreed to look for Li Yanran, but he didn’t want to languish in jail for it.
This man was, of course, Ma Zhicai!
"Why should I believe you?" Li Yanran raised her chin in haughty defiance. Although the man’s arrival seemed suspect, her desire to trip up Lin Ziyin overpowered her last shred of reason.
"Scheming against the Princess, no matter the reason, Miss Li do you think the Prince would spare me if he knew? Do you think I would toy with you in these thankless circumstances?" Ma Zhicai deployed psychological warfare.
No matter what, he needed to complete his mission today, or he would undoubtedly lose his life.
After listening to him, Li Yanran fell silent for a moment. He was right; he wouldn’t dare involve the princess.
"What do you hope to gain by scheming against the princess?" Li Yanran asked fiercely.
Upon hearing this, Ma Zhicai secretly breathed a sigh of relief; Li Yanran’s retort indicated she was wavering.
"Blame the Princess for being ruthless in her dealings. Had it not been for her, my business wouldn’t have faced such a heavy loss." Ma Zhicai responded. This excuse had been thoughtfully crafted by him and he could even provide an impeccable explanation if she asked for details.
Unfortunately, Li Yanran, blinded by hatred, didn’t continue to probe deeper. From his tone and expression, it was clear that the man was filled with repulsion and hatred for Lin Ziyin.
No matter the reason, as long as this man, like her, bore a grudge against Lin Ziyin, it worked in her favor. As the saying goes, the enemy of my enemy is my friend, right?
