He Yu's mood was not terrible. The news from outside the city had yet to reach the city, while the people inside still had not truly reacted. With this time difference, there was always something he could accomplish. Once the riot broke out, the benefits he could gain would be immeasurable. Even if it failed, he had merely borrowed others to act; he had not participated directly. There would still be room to maneuver. He could not just sit around and wait for death. Xu Shi seemed to have given him considerable help, calling him brother all the time, but the truth was that his status had declined more and more lately. He used to be an outstanding young talent; now he had become a fringe figure. He grinned like an idiot, thinking of the gains.
He had some inside information from the other side. He knew better than anyone what a groveling state He Yu was in before Xie Qingyan. If Xu Shi had deliberately delayed the greeting, then things would be troublesome. In truth, Xue had recently been growing close to "Snake," wagging his tail after them all day. But would explaining it now seem a little fake? Still, the sooner such matters were dealt with, the better. Would it be better to push the responsibility onto his eldest brother? That would be an explanation, wouldn't it?
After they faced each other for a moment, another deep voice sounded from nearby. "Or what?"
If he really acted according to his own ideas, then the nature of the so-called assistance from friendly businesses would likely change. A message arrived at almost the same time. It was from Xu Shi's side. "Then should I come personally to invite you?"
Or had the Qi father and son grasped some inside information
