So, after weighing the pros and cons, he went ahead and did it.
But when he stood in front of Jian Shichu, facing Jian Shichu's imposing aura, he regretted it.
He should not have challenged Jian Shichu's anger and authority.
Even though Jian Shichu might indeed spare him for Xiao Yan's sake, there was no guarantee he wouldn't be severely hurt.
From now on, for the rest of his life, whenever he saw Jian Shichu, he would definitely steer clear.
He looked at Xiao Yan with a sincere face.
From now on, he really wouldn't scheme against Jian Shichu any longer.
He wouldn't scheme against his younger brother either.
But, Xiao Yan was no longer willing to trust him now, not even waiting for the future.
