Chapter 339 Opportunity

Han Chi was very satisfied with Yuan Qilei's attitude, so he smiled and nodded, glancing at Lord Chen.

This Lord Chen had been in the officialdom for a long time and was naturally a shrewd person. When he saw Han Chi looking at him, he understood in his heart and said to Han Chi with a smile: "My Lord, I suddenly remembered that I have something important to do at home, so I will take my leave first. I hope your forgiveness."

Han Chi nodded and smiled, "Since Master Chen has something going on at home, I won't keep you here. Don't worry about what you said before!"

When Lord Chen heard this, his face immediately lit up with joy: "Thank you very much, Lord!"

After saying this, he bowed, said goodbye to Yuan Qilei, and left with his servant!

Yuan Qilei was listening at the side and realized that Han Chi wanted to talk to him in private. He was afraid that what he was going to do could not be told to outsiders, so he quickly sent his servant out of the private room and waited nervously for Han Chi's next words.

Han Chi didn't say anything for a while, just sipping tea gently and watching Yuan Qilei's reaction. Naturally, Yuan Qilei's expression also fell into his eyes, and he couldn't help but smile coldly in his heart.

Han Chi didn't say anything, and Yuan Qilei didn't know how to speak either. He felt both nervous and expectant.

"Qi Lei!" Han Chi placed the teacup on the table and said to Yuan Qi Lei, "I see that there seems to be worry between your brows. What's the problem?"

"My Lord!" Yuan Qilei said hurriedly, "It's just a small matter. I dare not trouble you to worry about it!"

"Oh!" Han Chi smiled: "It's a small matter?"

Yuan Qilei's heart skipped a beat when he heard Han Chi's tone. He felt as if Han Chi already knew what was bothering him.

"Yes... yes!" Yuan Qilei responded with a smile.

"It seems that Lord Yuan is still on guard against me!" Han Chi sneered when he heard this.

Yuan Qilei was startled by Han Chi's tone. He felt that Han Chi seemed a little unhappy, so he hurriedly said, "My Lord, please calm down. It's not that I am on guard against you, but... but..."

Yuan Qilei knew that if he wanted to gain Han Chi's trust, he couldn't hide anything. In the end, he had to grit his teeth and say, "To be honest, Your Majesty, I was harmed by a traitor and poisoned with a child-killing drug. Now, not only do I have no children, but I am also helpless against my enemies. This matter is truly humiliating for me, so I have concealed something. I hope Your Majesty will forgive me."

Han Chi only raised his eyebrows slightly when he heard this. He had naturally known about Yuan Qilei's affairs for a long time. "So, that villain is indeed vicious. What kind of deep hatred could have caused him to use such cruel means?"

Yuan Qilei was embarrassed to tell Han Chi Yuan Qifeng's name, so he drank the tea beside him in frustration and sighed heavily.

Seeing Yuan Qilei's expression, Han Chi stopped asking questions and only asked, "Qilei, you are in this state now. If I were to ask you to do something, would you be in the mood?"

"My Lord!" Yuan Qilei clasped his fists and said, "No matter how great my affairs are, they are insignificant compared to yours. If you have anything to say, just give me your instructions. I will do my best to serve you!"

"That's great!" Han Chi nodded and smiled, "Come closer and listen."

"yes!"

Yuan Qilei leaned forward slightly and moved closer to Han Chi.

Han Chi whispered these instructions in Yuan Qilei's ear, and Yuan Qilei's face turned red and white, and his pupils trembled.

Finally, Han Chi placed a stack of letters in front of Yuan Qilei and said, "Qilei, if you can handle this matter well, you will naturally benefit from it!"

"However!" Han Chi sneered again, "No matter how this matter turns out, if a third person gets wind of it, I won't tolerate it. Although I, a marquis, don't have much real power, it's still easy for me to deal with a fifth-rank official."

After saying that, Han Chi looked at Yuan Qilei deeply.

Yuan Qilei shuddered inwardly. He knew that Han Chi was not lying, and hurriedly said, "Don't worry, my lord. No matter what happens, I will never tell anyone else about this matter."

"Hmm!" Han Chi nodded in satisfaction. "Qi Lei, I still have confidence in you. Although it is a bit difficult for you to handle this matter, it will be of great benefit to you. And don't worry, this matter will definitely not implicate you."

This was also the issue Yuan Qilei was worried about. When he heard Han Chi say this, he felt relieved. He smiled and said to Han Chi, "Thank you, Lord."

"Yeah!" Han Chi patted Yuan Qilei's shoulder and left first.

Yuan Qilei stayed in the private room for a while before returning home with the servant.

As soon as he returned home, Yuan Qilei went straight to Chen Yan's house.

"Master!" Seeing Yuan Qilei come back so quickly and seeing that he looked different, Chen Yan had a vague suspicion in her heart. She hurried forward to support Yuan Qilei's arm and said, "Master, didn't you go out for a drink with someone? Why are you back so soon?"

"Hey, Yan'er!" Yuan Qilei sat down at the table, poured himself a cup of tea and drank it in one gulp before saying, "There's something I'd like to hear your opinion on."

Ever since Chen Yan said those words to Yuan Qi Lei last time, Yuan Qi Lei has been relying more on Chen Yan in his heart.

"Master, what happened?" Chen Yan looked confused.

"That's what happened!" Yuan Qilei told Chen Yan what Han Chi had told him. Finally, he took out the stack of letters, showed them to Chen Yan, and asked, "Yan'er, the Marquis ordered me not to tell anyone else about this matter. You're the only one by my side now, so I'd like to hear your thoughts. What do you think I should do?"

Chen Yan looked at the stack of letters, then glanced at Yuan Qilei's expression, and then said carefully: "Master, don't worry, I will definitely not tell anyone about this matter. However, according to normal circumstances, it is not convenient for me to talk about such things."

"It's okay, Yan'er, but you can say it!"

"If that's the case!" Chen Yan pursed her lips and said, "Then Yan'er will say one thing. If I'm wrong, Master, please don't blame Yan'er."

"Yan'er, when have I ever blamed you? Just say it!" Yuan Qilei waited expectantly for Chen Yan's next words. He was still a little hesitant at this time. After all...

"Master!" Chen Yan said, "If this happened to Yan'er, I would definitely seek justice for my child."

Seeing Yuan Qilei silent and pensive, Chen Yan continued, "Besides, the Marquis has also said that you will not be implicated. This way, you can get revenge without getting yourself into trouble. Isn't that the best of both worlds? You know, sometimes opportunities are fleeting!"

"Opportunity?" Yuan Qilei murmured with his eyes narrowed.

"Yeah!" Chen Yan nodded and stopped talking, waiting for Yuan Qilei to make his own decision.

"Yes, I should seize this opportunity!"

After a long while, Yuan Qilei seemed to have made up his mind and slammed the table, but he didn't notice that Chen Yan's mouth corners were quietly raised behind him!
