News of Han Wanlings capture stormed the whole of Jingdu. Yun Xi sat with her legs crossed knitting in the living room of Mu Mansion. Great White lay next to her on the carpet holding the ball of yarn between his paws.

No matter how one looked at it, it was mind-boggling how harmoniously this human and snow leopard were, chilling together in the living room.

The sound from the news on the TV pervaded the whole room. If Han Hongbin had still been in jail when Han Wanling got apprehended, the Qiao family couldve used the occasion to cripple the Han family and make sure they would never be able to rise up again.

However, with Han Hongbin out of prison, he would do everything in his power to control the situation in order to regain what was left of the Han familys reputation.

Of course, with the recording being spread like wildfire everywhere, it was impossible for Han Hongbin to control the situation with money alone. The only hope he had was to work with the Qiao family and address the situation forthrightly by saying it had all been a mistake.

They could come up with stories such as they had been shooting a short video or something like that. There were a lot of options for them to choose from. However, for this to work, there was a prerequisite. The Qiao family had to agree to work with them.

If the Qiao family did not want to help the Han family, then there was nothing that Han Hongbin could do.

Looking at the situation, it seemed clear that as long as the Prime Minister did not come to Han Hongbins rescue, then he was doomed to fail.

Yun Xi was satisfied with the outcome of her plan. Now that the net had been cast, all she had to do was wait and see if anyone would take the bait. It all came down to how important were fame and power to these people.

Suddenly, the phone in the living room rang. The butler was the one who answered the call.

Let me guess. Han Hongbin is at the sentry post and wants to meet? Yun Xi asked after the butler had had a few exchanges with the caller.

Yes. The butler nodded while covering the phone with his hand.

Tell the guards that the Young Commander is out on a mission, and we have no idea when he will return.

Yes, maam. The butler didnt even ask if that was what his master would have wanted him to reply and immediately relayed her message to the guards.

He clearly understood that when it came to matters like this, Yun Xi could represent his master.

When Mu Feichi came downstairs, the first thing he saw was the peaceful sight of Yun Xi and the snow leopard. It immediately brought a gentle smile to his face.

As the butler finished the call and was about to leave the room, he turned around and saw his master standing on the stairs. He was shocked for a second, but quickly regained his composure. When he tried to greet his master, Mu Feichi quickly shook his head.

The butler looked at the person sitting in the living room and then back at his master, and he immediately felt as if he was an unneeded presence between this couple. Realizing the situation, he immediately left the room.

Yun Xi heard the footsteps coming down the stairs and raised her head. When she saw that it was Mu Feichi, a smile immediately appeared on her face. You came down just in time. Han Hongbin is at the sentry post and wants to meet with you. I told the butler to not let him in.

Yeah, I heard that. Im not planning to meet with him either, the man said as he sat down next to Great White and took the ball of yarn from his paws.

Now that you have refused to meet with him, hell have no choice but to ask the Prime Minister for help. Ive already asked someone to give the Prime Minister all the information on the Han family. As long as hes not blind, hell be able to notice how valuable the Han family can be. All he has to do is give the desperate Han Hongbin a helping hand and hell be able to make the Han family his. If not for my hatred toward the Han family, I couldve made them mine as well. In the end, a weak camel is still stronger than a healthy horse. The Han family will still be useful in certain ways, and

Yun Xi paused as she looked at the man sitting in front of her. He was not wearing his usual military outfit but a casual one instead. It made him look gentle and took away all the ruthlessness that he always carried around with him when he was on the battlefield. And, if Han Hongbin has any connection with Crocodile, or, if he is Crocodile, then he would not allow himself to fall just like this, since he still has all the money he has earned in secret.

Arent you worried that if you let the Prime Minister have him, it will cause a bigger threat to you? Mu Feichi asked, raising his brows.

If I was worried, then I would never have done this from the beginning. Also, we still have the Qiao family to act as a proxy, no?
