"What I want is this world that can protect her for the rest of her life!"

[My crush is in jail! This is outrageous!]

[Zheng Yu is emboldened by alcohol; he's about to turn evil!]

[Zheng Yu, take the exam! Exam like crazy! Tomorrow you'll be the top scorer and crush these corrupt officials!]

"Well said!"

Sha Pingwei slammed his fist on the stone table, causing the wine jar to vibrate and hum.

"Qin Wuyu, that scoundrel, knowingly broke the law; his crime is doubled!"

His eyes were bloodshot, and his chest was heaving violently.

"Brother Zheng, we can't just sit here and wait to die!"

A gloomy firelight flickered in Zheng Yu's eyes, and his voice was as low as the night.

What do you want?

"I'll go investigate Qin Wuyu's background right now!"

Sha Pingwei stood up abruptly, his voice trembling as the alcohol took effect.

"I refuse to believe he's clean! We must bring this corrupt official down!"

Looking at his close friend's excited expression, Zheng Yu felt a surge of warmth in his heart.

Thank you.

He clasped his hands in a fist salute, his voice slightly choked with emotion.

Sha Pingwei didn't stop; instead, he became more and more agitated as he spoke.

"If it really doesn't work..."

He lowered his voice, a hint of madness flashing in his eyes.

"I led my men through the night and stormed the Jingzhao Prefecture prison to rescue He Yi and the others!"

"What?!"

Zheng Yu suddenly stood up, and the wine jar rolled violently on the table.

He grabbed Sha Pingwei's wrist with such force that the man gasped.

"Pingwei! Are you crazy?!"

Sha Pingwei's eyes burned with fury as he gripped Zheng Yu's wrist tightly.

"I'm not crazy!"

His voice was hoarse with excitement.
