Su Xiaoxiao received a reply from the golden eagle that Xie Jinnian had asked him to bring back. Although there was only one sentence on it, it finally made Su Xiaoxiao feel relieved.
Tonight's transaction was too risky for Xie Jinnian.
She had to take out enough chips to shake the scale in Xie Jinnian's heart.
Xie Jinnian asked her what deal she wanted on the paper. Su Xiaoxiao chose the latter between testing him and directly laying her cards on the table.
Firstly, there was not much point in probing. Someone as smart as Xie Jinnian had probably guessed what was going on, and the reason why he asked this was completely to express his stance.
Secondly and more importantly, time was running out.
Su Xiaoxiao told her about Xiahou Zheng deliberately letting Yuwen Xi and Yuwen Huai go and using this to frame the Hundred Flowers Palace.
There was nothing to hide.
