"Absolutely not!"

Nine Fingers kowtowed to Zhao Cheng and said loudly, "It was the lesson that Young Prime Minister taught me back then that made me a new person. Young Prime Minister has no grudge against me at all, only a great kindness that I can never repay in this lifetime!"

No matter how sincere Nine Fingers appeared, Zhao Cheng remained calm and made his own judgment.

Back then, Nine Fingers wanted to kidnap Yang Cai'e to curry favor with Wang Yufeng. After being taught a lesson by Zhao Cheng, he was resentful and led a group to take revenge on Zhao Cheng. After discovering Zhao Cheng's identity, he immediately tried to escape, but Zhao Wu cut off his finger.

Later, when Zhao Cheng dealt with Wang Yufeng, Nine Fingers never appeared again.

Zhao Cheng feared he was a potential threat, so he inquired about him and learned that he had left Yanchuan City before the incident. He then realized that this man was both shrewd and pragmatic, so he stopped taking him seriously.

In retrospect, this person was indeed a pragmatist.

The hatred of a severed finger is not important; what matters is that life is good.

Zhao Cheng's judgment was correct; Nine Fingers had no desire for revenge whatsoever.

After Wang Yufeng's matter was over, Jiuzhi returned to Yanchuan City. She watched as Zhao Cheng defeated Su Wansan, heard that Zhao Cheng had diminished the prestige of Prince Zhou Jinghuan of Southern Zhou at the state banquet, eliminated a wave of Southern Zhou spies on his way back to Yanchuan, and even married the Imperial Princess into the Right Prime Minister's residence.

Nine Fingers knew that Zhao Cheng was someone he could never defeat in his entire life.

Even if a sliver of revenge remained at the time, it all vanished.

Since we can't win in a fight, the most pragmatic thing to do is to find a way to hold on tight.

After Zhao Cheng returned from his trip south, Jiu Zhi also considered some ways to meet him, and even tried to meet him through Zheng Hongxiu. However, Zheng Hongxiu thought that his identity was not conducive to Zhao Cheng's success, so she did not allow Jiu Zhi to meet Zhao Cheng.

The emergence of Chengdu gave Jiuzhi this opportunity.

Since we're going to meet, we need to leave a deep impression on Zhao Cheng and present him with a grand gift.

Thinking of this, Jiuzhi Chaodu glanced at Chengdu and his eyes sharpened.

Du Yucheng felt a tremor in his heart and subconsciously clenched his fist.

"Young Prime Minister, I apologize for my abrupt visit today. It was presumptuous, but I had no other choice."

Nine Fingers raised his head, pointed at Du Yucheng, and said sternly, "This man wants to kill you!"
