Different World Card Master: Change the World with Cards

173: Who to ask for help?Xu Bai: ”It’s done.”

Wu Zijin: ”It’s done!”

The two exchanged joyful glances, not expecting things to go so smoothly. The Qian Family had agreed to their demands so easily.

They had thought the Qian Family would negotiate, and the two sides would need to haggle for a while, but they agreed on the first discussion.

In truth, it was also because both of them were too young and didn’t fully understand what had happened 20 years ago, so they didn’t realize the gravity of the situation.

”I should be able to leave the hospital now, right?”

”I think so. After all, the doctors in the hospital have no solution for the Mental Corrosion Potion, so it’s better to go back.”

”Hmm, but I think we need to keep a low profile for now. I’ll slow down and temporarily stop researching cardss. It wouldn’t be good to reveal too much too soon.”

Wu Zijin patted his chest and assured Xu Bai.

”You can rest assured. You can temporarily leave the research to me. I’ll continue the research with them.”

Them?

Suddenly, Xu Bai remembered that Liu Mengyan and Liu Mengyun were still in prison and hadn’t been released yet.

”Hmm, did you forget that both of them were arrested and haven’t been released yet?”

Hearing this, Wu Zijin’s smiling face froze.

He had actually forgotten that the two Liu sisters had been arrested and not yet released.

In fact, if they hadn’t brought it up in conversation, Xu Bai would have also forgotten that the two Liu sisters were still in prison.

”Is there any way to get them out now?”

”Getting Liu Mengyun out is relatively simple, but to get Liu Mengyan out, we need to ask someone for a favor.”

”Ask who?”

Wu Zijin had a head full of question marks, wondering who else they could talk to about this matter.

”Knock, knock, knock.”

At this moment, a knock on the door sounded, interrupting their conversation.

Wu Zijin instinctively walked to the door to open it.

The two of them were having a private conversation, so of course, they couldn’t have anyone else in the room. There were only the two of them, and Xu Bai was a patient, so only Wu Zijin could open the door.

Opening the door, he saw only Yin Su standing outside. Wu Zijin felt a little strange but still stepped aside to let him in.

”Governor Yin, good to see you. Is there something you need, coming alone?”

Wu Zijin led him inside, trying to ascertain his intentions for coming.

However, Yin Su didn’t reply to him but walked straight to Xu Bai’s bedside.

”Good afternoon, Mr. Xu.”

”Good afternoon, Governor Yin. May I ask what you need from me?”

”Can I speak with you alone?”

After Yin Su asked, as if to dispel their worries, he added, ”It’s about Liu Mengyan’s matter.”

Xu Bai actually knew why he had come as soon as he saw him, because Liu Mengyan had told him about Yin Su seeking her out, so he knew Yin Su would likely guess their actions.

In fact, to get Liu Mengyan out, they still needed to ask Yin Su for a favor.

Unexpectedly, speak of the devil, he arrived just as they were talking about him... ”It’s fine. Wu Zijin also knows the truth of this matter, so you can speak freely.”

Yin Su assessed Wu Zijin, surprised that Xu Bai trusted him so much.

The relationship between people is actually very strange. Some people have just met but feel they are trustworthy, while others have known each other for over a decade and still find the other unreliable. So he didn’t refute anything.

”Is this matter a setup that you and Liu Mengyan orchestrated together?”

Wu Zijin wasn’t sure if Yin Su was on their side, so he spoke up in rebuttal.

”Governor Yin, that statement isn’t quite accurate. You should know that we didn’t give the Mental Corrosion Potion to the Qian Family, nor did we ask the Qian Family to suppress the Liu Family, nor did we force Liu Mengyan to accuse the Qian Family.

All of this was designed by the Qian Family. We were merely reacting urgently after realizing the danger. Do you think we shouldn’t have done this?”

Yin Su was momentarily speechless by Wu Zijin’s words.

He could only explain helplessly, ”I didn’t intend to report this matter.”

”When did Governor Yin discover this? Why didn’t you expose the truth directly after you found out?”

Xu Bai looked at Yin Su curiously.

Because in his view, Yin Su represented the official authority of the Tianlong Republic, and a conflict between them and the Qian Family was not a situation the officials would be pleased to see.

So at first, he was worried that Yin Su wouldn’t approve of his methods, which is why he didn’t tell him in advance. At the same time, he also asked Wu Zijin for a fake medicine to drink, playing the part completely.

”When the investigation team found out that Liu Mengyan was the one who administered the medicine, I realized that this matter must have been something you asked her to do.”

Yin Su gave a bitter smile. In fact, he had no dissatisfaction with Xu Bai’s concealment, because if he had known about it, he would definitely have stopped them from doing so for the sake of the bigger picture.

And after the incident had already occurred, he understood Xu Bai’s intentions from it and didn’t expose it. Exposing it at that point would truly displease both sides and make things worse.

So he told the truth.

”If you had told me you were going to do this from the start, I would have definitely stopped you. Later, after the incident had already happened, I didn’t think revealing the truth would make things better.

However, I still hope you can reconcile with the Qian Family. You should know that not everyone in the Qian Family wants to harm you.”

Xu Bai nodded. He had also anticipated this, which is why he acted first and reported later.

As for reconciling with the Qian Family, that would have to wait for the future.

Xu Bai: ”What did Governor Yin want to discuss with me today?”

”I just wanted to say that things are pretty much concluded now. What are your thoughts on the Liu Family, and what should be done about Liu Mengyan?”

”The Liu Family? I don’t have strong opinions on the Liu Family. I only know those two from the Liu Family. If possible, of course, I hope someone who bears no ill will towards me becomes the family head.

However, I don’t think I have the right to make the Liu Family change its head.”

Xu Bai wasn’t very enthusiastic about the Liu Family’s affairs. Currently, the main priority was to resolve Liu Mengyan’s situation.

”Regarding Liu Mengyan, does Governor Yin have any good ideas?”

Yin Su: ”My main reason for coming today is about this. What are your thoughts on Master Qian, the cards Maker, wanting to meet you?”

Xu Bai didn’t expect Yin Su to suddenly bring this up, because in his opinion, the other party had essentially turned hostile towards him now.

He didn’t know why the other party wanted to see him. He felt he had nothing to say to them.

Even if they were to reconcile, it might need to wait a few years.

”Is his desire to see me related to Liu Mengyan’s matter?”

Yin Su seemed to have anticipated Xu Bai asking this question.
