"Why?"
Li Yan could not comprehend Lady Dan's logic at all.
"Trust me, General."
Lady Dan did not offer an explanation.
After weighing his options for a moment, Li Yan finally responded.
"Yes."

Madam Shi's eyes narrowed, and her grip on Li Yan's collar tightened, her sleeve dripping blood onto the floor, yet she seemed completely unaware of it.
The woman's face was unreadable, but after what felt like a long time, her smile bloomed like a camellia.
"So you do have your moments of intelligence. I thought you'd be dense for a lifetime."
She laughed while shaking her head.
"But I know, Zheng Yiguai wasn't killed by you. Firstly, because of your nature—I understand that well enough—and secondly..."
Madam Shi's conversation took a turn, "Don't think you're all high and mighty as Tianbao now. When I was taking hostages, you were still in split-pants. Had you been the one to act, I would've found out long ago."
