A Jiangnan tax case led to Gu Qingyan's "accidental" rescue. He stepped into the center of power and also met Lin Mu's unfathomable eyes.

He blocked the poisonous arrow for him and stroked his pale face with his fingertips: "Xiao Yanzi, your fate has the final say."

Gu Qingyan's sword dripped blood and asked him with a smile: "Lin Muzhi, you won this round."
Lin Muzhi threw down the blood-stained jade crown and stretched out his hand: "No, I want you to live."
