It has been a long time since Li Han fell into the water. Under Lu Li's careful care, his body recovered quickly, and the relationship between the two became closer.

While Li Han was recuperating, Lu Li also conducted a thorough inspection of the general's mansion in order to prevent such incidents from happening again. It is always better to take precautions before they happen.

Since Du Jian's trip to the General's Mansion, he has been very concerned about Li Han's comfort. He has visited the General's Mansion many times, hoping to see Li Han, but the guards of the General's Mansion received instructions from Lu Li and drove Du Jian out as soon as they saw him.

Although these guards were nothing to him, he was still afraid because he had been taught a lesson by Lu Li the last time he forced his way in, so he had to return empty-handed.

But he refused to give up, so he sent someone to bribe the servants of the general's mansion with a large sum of money, just to know more about Li Han. His efforts paid off, and he finally found out.

"Sir, after Miss Li fell into the water last time, the entire general's mansion took good care of her, and she is much better now!" An old woman dressed in servant's clothes said to Du Jian respectfully.

After hearing this, Du Jian finally let go of the worry that had been hanging in the air for many days. He winked at the attendant beside him, and the attendant understood what he meant. He took out a large bag of silver and a letter from his sleeve and gave them to the old woman.

"Be sure to hand this letter to Miss Li Han personally. If there is any mistake, I will not forgive you easily!" After the follower threatened the old woman, he sent her away.

Du Jian knew that he would not be able to meet Li Han if he visited her, so he simply borrowed the old woman to personally deliver the invitation letter to her, thus saving him the trouble of wasting time dealing with Lu Li.

The old woman was originally a kitchen servant, and recently, due to Lu Li's instructions, she was fully responsible for Li Han's daily meals. So after she returned to the general's mansion, she asked Li Han about her appetite recently and came to her room smoothly.

The old woman first sent all the other servants out of the room, then turned to Li Han and said respectfully, "Miss Li, this is the letter that Mr. Du asked me to pass on to you!", and took the letter out of her sleeve and handed it to Li Han.

"Why didn't Du Jian come himself?" Li Han looked at the letter, a little surprised!

The old woman was not shy and told Li Han about the last time Du Jian broke into the general's mansion. She also exaggerated the fight between Du Jian and Lu Li. After all, she was also from the backyard and could not enter the hall. She heard these things from some young maids and had no idea whether they were true or not.

After hearing this, Li Han couldn't help but frown. Lu Li didn't tell him about these things at all after he woke up. It seemed that he didn't want her to know about this.

"I roughly understand. You can go down. Don't let others know about this!" Li Han took a hairpin from his hand and put it in the old woman's hand: "Got it?"

The old woman had been in the General's Mansion for so many years, so she naturally understood the affairs of the inner courtyard. She had done many things in exchange for money. As long as she had money, she didn't care about anything else. She said to Li Han with a smile on her face, "Miss, I understand everything!"

The two smiled at each other. The old woman was afraid that others would become suspicious, so she pretended to say a few words.

Li Han opened the letter in a hurry, thinking it contained something important, but it turned out to be just a few pleasantries, and the main point at the end was just an invitation to visit.

Li Han thought about it and originally wanted to refuse. Lu Li didn't want her to get too close to Du Jian. Besides, they had a feud between them, so it wouldn't be good to be caught in the middle.

After thinking it over, he suddenly remembered that he still had something to discuss with Du Jian, so he had to hide it from Lu Li this time: "If you can help me answer a question, I'd be happy to do it!"

The old woman left after receiving the reply. After she left, Li Han burned the letter from Du Jian. Watching the flames gradually devour the letter, Li Han fell into deep thought.

In the afternoon, Li Han made up an excuse to Lu Li and went out. Perhaps because of the falling into the water incident and the sense of gap between loss and recovery, Lu Li's attitude towards Li Han became very doting. He did not doubt her, but instead told her to be careful on the road and sent guards to protect her.

When meeting Du Jian, he naturally could not bring Lu Li's guards with him, otherwise unnecessary trouble would occur. So Li Han found an opportunity to get rid of the guards and came to the address written in the letter as promised.

"Li Han, are you okay? It's great to see you alive and kicking. You know how worried I was when I heard you fell into the water!"

As soon as Du Jian saw Li Han, he rushed over excitedly, pulled Li Han up and looked her up and down, as if to make sure that she was really okay.

Li Han knew that the guards would be unable to find her and would definitely alert Lu Li, so she had to make a quick decision. She didn't bother to chat with Du Jian about his well-being and simply said to him, "I came here today to discuss something important with you!"

Du Jian looked at Li Han with a smile on his face: "Oh, what's the important thing?"

"Would you like to work with me to develop new business and expand our business territory?" Li Han walked past Du Jian, walked to the chair and sat down.

Hearing Li Han's words, Du Jian immediately became interested. He sat face to face with Li Han and sipped his tea. "What cooperation? How can we cooperate? I, Du Jian, never do business at a loss!"

Du Jian knew that Li Han was different from ordinary women. She could always come up with some strange but constructive ideas, which was what attracted him to her.

Li Han's lips curled up slightly as he spoke slowly, "I know you've been developing your influence in brothels and gambling houses for many years, and you have a wealth of funds and connections, but these aren't things you can show publicly. If the higher-ups want to make a move on you, you won't be able to escape, you know that!"

Du Jian originally just wanted to listen, but he didn't expect Li Han to be so blunt and point out the problems in his current business and his current situation. This surprised Du Jian so much that the teacup in his hand shook uncontrollably.

Indeed, Du Jian now has both fame and fortune, but the things he has are all in the dark and cannot be seen in the light. Sometimes the collapse of a building only takes a moment.

"Of course I know, but why do you think I will cooperate with you?" Du Jian asked Li Han without changing his expression.

Li Han calmly replied: "You will. Cooperating with Huayun Pavilion is the safest way out!"

Du Jian remained silent. He knew that Li Han wanted to help him clear his name on the surface, but in fact he wanted to use his power to secretly obtain intelligence from all parties.

Li Han looked at Du Jian, the corners of his mouth curled up slightly, he picked up the teacup and handed it to him with a confident expression on his face.

Of course Li Han knew that Du Jian was a smart man. If he was a fool, he would not have achieved what he has today, and she would not have come to him to discuss this matter. So Li Han was not gambling, but making sure that Du Jian would agree!

Sure enough, Du Jian thought for a while, took the teacup handed to him by Li Han, and drank it all in one gulp.

Everything was said without words. Li Han poured himself a cup of tea, drank it all in one gulp, and said with a smile: "Tea instead of wine, happy cooperation!"
