Cui Linye thought Su Yuyao was joking.
This person always likes to exaggerate.
What does it mean to offer one's neck for execution?
Who has that qualification?
If Jiang Tian really wanted to kill him, Su Yuyao's bodyguards would take her life immediately.
This guy doesn't need to brag like that. Does he think he can pay for Jiang Tian's things?
Or perhaps... he has already sensed some of Jiang Tian's motives?
Cui Linye is a very perceptive person.
If he weren't perceptive in his position, he could easily be fooled and take actions that would harm his interests.
He could almost immediately discern the hidden meaning in Su Yuyao's words and quickly identified the contradictions within them.
Jiang Tian chose him; he should be overjoyed.
In reality, the man's tone didn't convey much joy at the prospect of his beloved becoming his wife; instead, it carried an indescribable heaviness.
So, where does this heaviness come from?
...Is it from Jiang Tian?
Cui Linye's blood was about to boil.
He suddenly realized that he had found the password, and Su Yuyao had personally delivered it to him.
On the other hand, shouldn't he thank Su Yuyao?
Just then, Su Yuyao spoke slowly, his voice sounding very calm: "I know you sensed something was off. I said it on purpose for you to hear. Are you disappointed?"
Cui Linye's expression stiffened, and he gripped his phone tightly, asking, "What do you mean?"
Su Yuyao said, "My point is simple: we should sit down and have a proper talk."
What should we talk about?
"Don't you want to talk about Jiang Tian?"
Cui Linye didn't believe this person was so kind. If it were him, he would never talk to anyone, and he would never let these people see Jiang Tian again.
Over there, Su Yuyao continued, "You are a time bomb. If I want to remove the obstacles for her in advance, then you will definitely have to be eliminated first. But your danger is too high. If we can resolve this peacefully, I don't want to take any extreme measures."
"Therefore, we must sit down and have a proper talk."
Cui Linye initially intended to refuse, but then he thought that talking wouldn't hurt him.
He might be able to glean some clues from it.
He is definitely better than Su Yuyao.
The two men met.
Su Yuyao looked somewhat inexplicably sad.
Cui Linye looked at him with some surprise: "What happened to you?"
This guy seems to have every script imaginable, and the fact that he looks so pessimistic is really exciting.
Even if Cui Linye appears to be pitying, he must secretly be looking forward to a good show.
Su Yuyao had already seen through his true purpose, but simply looked at him calmly and said, "I originally wanted to talk to you about Jiang Tian, you don't need to talk to me about anything else."
Upon hearing Jiang Tian's name, Cui Linye's expression unconsciously turned serious.
"What do you want to talk about?"
"She doesn't want to marry me, or anyone else; she wants to improve the status of ordinary people."
Su Yuyao chose to get straight to the point.
Cui Linye's expression went blank for a moment.
"What nonsense are you talking about? I don't think anyone would not want to marry a nobleman, especially a commoner."
"Do you think I'm joking? Don't you know her? If you don't know her, how did you fall for her?"
Su Yuyao's question caused Cui Linye's expression to change in a way that was hard to describe.
After a long silence, he smiled indifferently: "Yes, I know her. I know what kind of person she is. If she wants to improve the status of ordinary people, then she is the kind of person she would do. She is an idealist. You know, no matter when, idealists are the ones who die the most tragically."
Su Yuyao shook his head: "Do you still think that way at this point? Have you never studied history, or is it like many people say, that we can never learn from history?"
"Many changes are driven by idealists. Don't think their efforts are useless. If they were useless, why would Jiang Tian have moved me? Why would I come to you? You don't need to use those demeaning words to talk about her. Instead, you should think with me about how to protect her."
The smile on Cui Linye's face had completely vanished.
He looked at Su Yuyao and said, "You still want to protect her? Are you kidding me? If she wants to improve the status of commoners, she will inevitably have to harm the interests of nobles. You should know better than me how important interests are to nobles."
"But so what? Haven't we learned it? From the very beginning, we learned the ending from our elders—our rule cannot be stable forever. Perhaps our generation can maintain stability, but there will always be a generation of commoners who will rise up—this is an irreversible rule, this is destiny."
"Since the outcome is predetermined, we should accept whatever time it happens."
"But I don't want Jiang Tian to be the initiator. You know, she's often surrounded by enemies. Many people like to be slaves, and many people don't like to stand up. Jiang Tian's existence might become very dangerous, and many people might want to buy her life."
Cui Linye remained expressionless.
He knew that Su Yuyao was right.
This has always been the case throughout history.
The first to stand up will face both backstabbing and direct confrontation.
“You can take her away from this country and find a free and equal country to live in. Don’t tell me you don’t have that ability.”
Cui Linye's tone was very calm.
He knew Jiang Tian's drive and efficiency.
She is intelligent and decisive; such a person is very likely to become a true spark.
If she wanted to sacrifice herself to save those who were willing to kneel, Cui Linye thought it was unnecessary.
If she insists on pursuing so-called freedom and equality, she can achieve everything she wants by living in another country.
In this way, she doesn't have to sacrifice anything, which is the best possible outcome.
"Don't joke around. Actually, I didn't have any other intentions when I came to you. She knows I've seen through it all along, but no one has said anything. Maybe she knows it too. I won't stop her. Love is a really scary thing. Sometimes I really understand why some ancient emperors would be willing to destroy their dynasties for the person they love."
"Can you stop making yourself sound so great?" Cui Linye's brows furrowed involuntarily.
“I came for only one reason, and that is to hope that you will not stop her. Her appearance is just making what was going to happen happen. We all know that this is how history moves forward. So at least you and I should be on the same side. Protecting her is also protecting ourselves.”
"I can't stand on the opposite side of myself just to protect her."
Cui Linye said firmly.
"are you sure?"
