Chapter 727 - 724 - : Safety and Danger_1
"Mr. Li will naturally investigate. After all, if Old Fang and Mr. Ren are unwilling to help, Mr. Li can only bring the witness to the Crown Prince himself! Princess of Zhen, Bai Qingyan... broke my younger brother’s legs. My father can endure it, but as his elder brother, I... cannot just let it go as if nothing happened." Li Mingrui already had his reasons prepared.
"Minister Li is a good brother!" Ren Shijie timely chimed in, praising Li Mingrui.
Li Mingrui smiled and nodded at Ren Shijie. "I know Old Fang has already sent someone to capture the one from Shuoyang and bring them to Dadu City. This prison guard... was also captured by my men for Old Fang and Mr. Ren. They are just outside. Old Fang and Mr. Ren can take them away any time! Just one thing... I hope Mr. Ren and Old Fang won’t stand up for me in front of the Crown Prince! If my father finds out... that I have opposed the Princess of Zhen behind his back, I will surely be punished by the family rules."
Old Fang let out a low laugh. "Minister Li doesn’t want such credit?"
Li Mingrui shook his head. "I am just venting my anger. Old Fang and Mr. Ren need more merit in front of the Crown Prince than I do. Cooperation means mutual benefit. If all the benefits go to me after Old Fang and Mr. Ren have worked so hard, they would be reluctant to cooperate with me in the future, wouldn’t they?"
Li Mingrui pretended not to know that Old Fang already hated Bai Qingyan to the core, presenting the matter as mutual gain, which made Old Fang drop his guard.
"Minister Li isn’t greedy." Old Fang’s brows and eyes showed a hint of a smile.
"I always know when to stop." Li Mingrui raised the teacup in front of him. "Then, let me use tea instead of wine to wish Old Fang and Mr. Ren more trust from the Crown Prince because of this matter. In the future, should you rise to high positions, please remember to extend a helping hand to me."
