However, things didn't go as planned, so he was now helpless and could only make one wrong move! Moreover, Minister Chen had asked him to handle the case well. Although Minister Chen hadn't promised him any promotion, Lu Yuan was indebted to Minister Chen, since Minister Chen had treated him quite well.

This time, I was forced into it. If I didn't tell Minister Chen what he said, I wouldn't be able to escape either. I would lose my life then, and it would be all over no matter what I said.

Minister Chen was engrossed in reading documents at his desk when he heard the door open and casually said, "Come in!"

Lu Yuan then pushed open the door and came in. Minister Chen looked up and was somewhat surprised to see that it was Lu Yuan.

"Lu Yuan? What brings you here? Is there any new progress in the case? But I heard that Yan Bing and Qi Heng are not cooperating and even tried to commit suicide. How are they?"

Lu Yuan swallowed hard and said, "They're both alright, they've been rescued!"

"What's wrong with you? Something doesn't seem right. Did something happen?"

So Lu Yuan told Minister Chen everything that had just happened, without hiding anything. He believed that Minister Chen wouldn't blame him for telling him.

As expected, Minister Chen wasn't angry at all. Instead, he smiled and said, "Hmm! I understand. Well done. You have to release me at crucial moments! Here's what you need to do! Be careful during this time! These people are not simple! And Zhao Tinghai is notoriously ruthless. I guess he released you this time so you could pass on a message to me!"

"Minister Chen, you must also be careful!" Lu Yuan said with some concern.

However, Minister Chen laughed nonchalantly, "Haha! They wouldn't dare! Don't worry!"
