Su Bin insisted on listening to her. Qin Zhenzhen could only express her stance. “Let’s see what he wants from us first. It’s not too late for us to make a decision.”
Su Bin nodded. “I’ll listen to you.”
A day later, the middle-aged man arrived as promised.
Su Bin met him in the study. Qin Zhenzhen hid behind the screen and did not show her face.
This time, the middle-aged man did not disguise his face. Su Bin recognized him at a glance. He was the Third Prince’s master, Lin Yue.
Su Bin had already obtained the portraits of the Third Prince and Lin Yue.
“Young Master Su, I’m sorry to disturb you.”
After saying that, Lin Yue introduced himself. “I’m the Third Prince’s master,
Lin Yue.”
“I’m here to thank your sister for saving the Third Prince’s life.”
Su Bin stood up from his seat in shock. “Is what you said true?”
Lin Yue observed Su Bin’s reaction calmly and confirmed, “Everything I have said is true. The Third Prince suffered severe injuries and is currently recuperating within the Flying Cloud Tribe.”
Su Bin looked like he could not understand at all.
“Actually, I also thought that the person Sixth Sister saved that day might not be a rapist, but I don’t understand. Why did the Third Prince hide in the Flying Cloud Tribe instead of seeking the help of the authorities?”
Lin Yue told Su Bin bluntly.
“If I tell you that the Third Prince was chased by the Crown Prince, would you believe me?”
“This…” Su Bin’s expression changed.
Lin Yue chuckled.
“Young Master Su, I understand your caution.”
“But there must be a reason why I came to seek you out once more,” Lin Yue continued.
“The soldiers who are poised to encircle the Flying Cloud Tribe will arrive shortly. This information was provided to us by the Dragon Phoenix Hall.”
Su Bin couldn’t help but feel a touch of embarra.s.sment. “So, you already know. You went through all this trouble to hide your ident.i.ty and perform a good deed, and yet, it still became apparent.”
He adopted a feigned expression of helplessness, which amused Qin Zhenzhen. Su Bin had effectively downplayed her role as the hall master, referring to her as merely the person in charge of a branch. Astonishingly, Lin Yue seemed to buy into the charade, making it a tightly veiled alias.
Simultaneously, Su Bin showcased his own capabilities. It appeared that he had deliberately allowed a gap in his facade to tip off the Flying Cloud Tribe that he was the informant, antic.i.p.ating their cooperation.
Lin Yue fixed a piercing gaze on Su Bin. “Young Master Su, you seem to be privy to a mult.i.tude of secrets!”
“I am aware of the Crown Prince’s ambitions to eliminate the Third Prince. I am also acquainted with the connection between the Flying Cloud Tribe and the Third Prince. Furthermore, I know that the governor is in allegiance with the Crown Prince.”
Su Bin discarded all pretense and responded composedly, “Apart from the a.s.sociation between the Flying Cloud Tribe and the Third Prince, the other two revelations are no longer concealed.”
“While the Crown Prince currently enjoys a secure position, his advisors still deem it necessary to eliminate any potential threats.”
“The other princes are too young to pose any challenge. The only viable threat to the Crown Prince is the Third Prince.”
Lin Yue’s expression was uncertain. He asked with a dark expression, “Can you explain why you’re doing this?”
Su Bin said calmly, “I also know that the more I know, the faster I die, but I also know that the enemy of my enemy is my friend.”
“I’m sure you’ve heard about the Crown Prince peeping at my wife.”
“That’s why I took the risk of revealing my ident.i.ty..”
