Once the favor is repaid, Miss Shen won't have any grudges.

"Alright, then let him come and assist me!"

...

On the way back, Shen Tangning waited for Feng Zhiwen to speak.

Unexpectedly, this kid is quite composed now, and he held back from asking the question for half the journey.

She looked at him with a half-smile: "Just say what you have to say."

Feng Zhiwen hesitated before asking, "Why did my cousin-in-law ask me to go on a delivery mission?"

Shen Tangning didn't rush to answer his questions, but instead stated the facts: "Weiyuan Escort Agency is currently the largest escort agency in Daqing. They frequent extremely dangerous places, and their branches are spread all over the martial arts world. They have connections in both the legitimate and criminal worlds."

He was completely confused and still didn't quite understand her purpose.

Shen Tangning didn't beat around the bush any longer: "This is the fastest way to hone your skills, of course I also have my own selfish reasons."

Feng Zhiwen was taken aback: "Personal reasons?"

"Within two years, I want you to gain control of the Weiyuan Escort Agency and establish your own intelligence network."

Shen Tangning's tone was calm and casual, but it stirred up a storm in Feng Zhiwen's heart!

"Intelligence network?"

Putting aside the first requirement for now, what does the second one mean?

He stared at Shen Tangning in shock, noticing her cold gaze, yet a glint of light in her eyes: "I don't want my gaze to be confined to the inner quarters; I want the whole world to be under my command."

She was like a caged bird, trapped in the inner quarters, facing the illusory world meticulously crafted by men, unable to escape the scheming and intrigue until her death.

But after getting to know the Princess and women like Jiang Zhijing, she suddenly realized why women couldn't pursue fame, fortune, and power.

In this world, only power can restrain power. Given a second chance, she is determined not to be in a passive position again. If she were to play a game of chess, she would want to be the one in control.

Feng Zhiwen's pupils dilated, and a tremendous idea suddenly popped into his mind—

Her ambitions lie not in the inner palace, but in the world. Could it be that she intends to... usurp the throne?

His first thought was horror, but then a surge of intense emotion rose and fell in his chest.

Establish your own intelligence network.

He had never had such an idea before; it sounded like a complete fantasy!

But if his idea came true, would he be able to protect his family and never have to live in fear again?

Once this idea took root, it couldn't stop growing. Feng Zhiwen was filled with an inexplicable excitement. He clenched his fists, his voice trembling with barely concealed emotion:

"I do!"

"I'm willing to be the knife in my cousin's hand!"

Shen Tangning: ?

Although the goal was achieved, something still feels off.
