Chapter 285 Life in Prison
Han Fei closed his eyes and thought, feeling the cold touch of the iron chain from his wrist.

But he was not panicked.

He saw two emotions in Ying Zheng’s eyes when he left.

Ying Zheng is not a foolish man. If he really believed that I was related to the assassin, he would not just imprison me.

He was waiting, waiting for a reason that would convince him to let me live.

Ying Zheng was a pragmatic person.

To him, Han Fei’s life and death were just tools, not goals.

Killing Han Fei can resolve current doubts.

Staying in Hanfei may gain more value.

At the same time, Ying Zheng returned to the main account, sat at the desk, and tapped the table lightly with his fingers.

His eyes fell on the dagger on the table. The plum blossom pattern on the handle was clearly visible, and the blade was cold and sharp.

Li Si stood aside, frowning slightly: “Your Majesty, can Han Fei’s words be trusted?”

Ying Zheng raised his head: “What do you think?”

Li Si said: “Han Fei is a man of eloquence, but he is not a sophist. His words are clever, but they are based on evidence. This matter is indeed strange.”

Ying Zheng stood up, walked to the dagger, and gently stroked the plum blossom pattern on the handle with his fingers: “Li Si, have you ever seen this dagger?”

Li Si lowered his head and thought for a while, then shook his head and said, “I have never seen this plum blossom on the hilt of this knife.”

Ying Zheng narrowed his eyes: “Han Fei said that this was the weapon of someone next to Ji Wushuang. What do you think?”

Li Si frowned even more tightly: “Although Ji Wushuang is a general of the Han Dynasty, he has always been a deep-minded person. If this matter is really related to him, I am afraid it is not simply aimed at Han Fei.”

Ying Zheng looked at Li Si deeply and said: “The presence of an assassin in my tent is not just aimed at Han Fei, it is a warning to me.”

Li Si whispered, “Your Majesty, do you mean that this might be a turmoil within South Korea?”

Ying Zheng snorted coldly: “Han Fei may have nothing to do with this matter, but I don’t believe that he knows nothing!”

“Pass the order to strengthen the guard of Han Fei, and let my secret guards investigate the origin of the plum blossom dagger.”

Inside the cell, Han Fei’s mind was racing.

He had already studied Ying Zheng’s character.

This is an extremely rational yet cruel person.

Ying Zheng doesn’t trust anyone, but he won’t give up anyone of value easily.

He must take advantage of this to gradually dispel Ying Zheng’s suspicion of him and let Ying Zheng see his own value.

Han Fei took a deep breath and slowly opened his eyes.

Ying Zheng, you think you are examining me, but in fact, I am the one who controls the game.

Suddenly, the iron door of the cell was pushed open.

Ying Zheng appeared at the door, followed by two guards and Li Si.

Han Fei raised his head and looked at Ying Zheng calmly.

Ying Zheng walked slowly to Han Fei and looked down at him: “Han Fei, I will give you another chance.”

“Tell me, who sent that assassin?”

Han Fei smiled slightly: “Don’t you already know?”

Ying Zheng frowned and said, “I’m asking you one last time!”

Han Fei shook his head and said nothing.

Ying Zheng stared at him coldly: “Han Fei, what I need is evidence.”

Han Fei smiled slightly and asked: “Has the King of Qin ever checked the dagger?”

Ying Zheng said: “The plum blossom pattern on the dagger is indeed suspicious. Han Fei, does this have anything to do with you?”

Han Fei still shook his head: “Han Fei can guarantee that this dagger is definitely not his.”

Ying Zheng turned and left, leaving behind a meaningful sentence: “Han Fei, I will investigate, but if you are lying to me, you should know the consequences.”

Han Fei opened his eyes.

Ying Zheng, you will eventually understand that I, Han Fei, am not only not your enemy, but your only ally.

Inside the main tent, Ying Zheng stood with his hands behind his back.

“Han Fei said this was the weapon of someone close to Ji Wushuang.”

Li Si stood aside and asked: “Your Majesty, can Han Fei’s words be trusted?”

Ying Zheng did not answer immediately. He was silent for a long time before he slowly spoke: “I believe half of what Han Fei said.”

“He is indeed smart, but his intelligence may not be entirely for Korea.”

Li Si was slightly stunned: “Your Majesty means that he may have other intentions?”

Ying Zheng sneered: “Han Fei is a chess player. He is good at layout, and I need to see his chessboard clearly now.”

“Send an order, have someone check on the follower beside Ji Wushuang. If this matter is really related to him, I want to see what truth this Korean prince can tell.”

Li Si bowed his head and said, “I understand, but Your Majesty, if what Han Fei said is true, how do you plan to deal with him?”

Ying Zheng gritted his teeth and said, “If he is innocent, I will let him go. But if he dares to lie to me, I will take his life with my own hands.”

Three days later, Ying Zheng appeared in the cell again.

This time, his whole aura was even colder.

Han Fei raised his head and said, “I am honored to have the King of Qin visit me.”

Ying Zheng looked at him coldly: “Han Fei, I have found out that the dagger does belong to one of Ji Wushuang’s followers.”

Han Fei smiled and said, “The King of Qin is indeed wise.”

Ying Zheng stared at Han Fei and said, “Then tell me why this follower wanted to assassinate me?”

Han Fei hesitated for a moment and said, “King Qin, although I cannot be completely sure, I can assert that this is definitely not a simple assassination.”

Ying Zheng’s eyes turned cold: “Han Fei, stop beating around the bush with me. I want an answer.”

Han Fei looked at Ying Zheng and said, “King Qin, I can help you find out about the assassin, but I have a request.”

Ying Zheng sneered: “Do you think you are still qualified to make conditions now?”

Han Fei smiled slightly: “If the King of Qin kills Han Fei, it may be able to relieve his anger for a while, but if the King of Qin is willing to give Han Fei a chance, Han Fei is willing to work for the King of Qin and help him find the person behind the scenes.”

The corners of Ying Zheng’s mouth curled up slightly: “Are you willing to work for me? Han Fei, you are a prince of Han, do you think I will trust you?”

“Han Fei, if I give you a chance, what can you do for me?”

Han Fei raised his lips slightly: “Han Fei is willing to find out the real person behind the assassination within three days. If Han Fei can’t do it, the King of Qin can destroy Han at any time.”

Ying Zheng suddenly sneered: “Okay, I will give you one more chance, but remember, if you can’t give me an answer after three days, I will never show mercy again.”

Three days later, the King of Qin arrived at his tent.

Han Fei stood in the center of the tent, the chains on his body having been untied long ago.

Ying Zheng sat in the main seat, holding a glass of sake in his hand.

“Han Fei, I have given you three days. Now, I want to hear your answer.”

Han Fei smiled slightly and said, “King Qin, I have already found out who is behind the assassination.”

Ying Zheng raised his eyebrows: “Who is it?”

Han Fei raised his head: “It is definitely Ji Wushuang.”

Ying Zheng said in a low voice: “Han Fei, do you have any evidence?”

Han Fei took out a “forged” letter from his sleeve and handed it over with both hands: “This is a secret letter between Ji Wushuang and the assassin. The letter clearly mentions this matter.”

Ying Zheng took the letter and read it carefully.

After a moment, he looked at Han Fei coldly: “Han Fei, if this letter is forged, do you know the consequences?”

Han Fei said calmly: “The King of Qin can send someone to verify it at any time. If what is said in the letter is false, Han Fei is willing to pay with his life.”

Ying Zheng stared at Han Fei.

Han Fei’s calmness made him feel indescribable.

After a moment, Ying Zheng suddenly put down the letter, picked up the wine jug on the table, and personally poured a glass of wine for Han Fei.

Han Fei was slightly stunned: “What does the King of Qin mean?”

Ying Zheng sneered: “Han Fei, although I don’t completely believe you, I have to admire your talent.”

“This glass of wine is my recognition of you.”

Han Fei took the wine glass and smiled: “Han Fei is honored.”

The two smiled at each other, and the atmosphere in the tent seemed to ease a lot in an instant.

After three rounds of drinking, Ying Zheng slowly put down his glass.

“Han Fei, I have already found out that the assassin is indeed related to Ji Wushuang, but I want to know, what do you think of Ji Wushuang’s actions?”

Han Fei said: “Ji Wushuang’s move is ostensibly aimed at Han Fei, but in fact it is for the benefit of Han.”

Ying Zheng was slightly stunned: “For Korea?”

Han Fei nodded: “Ji Wushuang thinks that my behavior is very stupid, so he wants to use the hand of the King of Qin to get rid of Han Fei and save the Kingdom of Han.”

Ying Zheng smiled and said, “So what do you think of his approach?”

Han Fei smiled calmly: “Although his original intention was for Korea, his actions were really stupid.”

Ying Zheng snorted coldly: “Stupid?”

Han Fei nodded and said: “If the King of Qin sends troops to Han because of the assassination, Han will inevitably be destroyed.”

“Ji Wushuang’s approach will not only fail to save South Korea, but will accelerate its destruction.”

Ying Zheng was silent for a long time, and suddenly spoke: “Han Fei, I can withdraw my troops, but I want you to promise me that Han will not do anything stupid again. As for Ji Wushuang and Ji Wuye, I hope you can send someone to send their heads to Qin.”

Han Fei smiled and said, “Don’t worry, King Qin. I guarantee it with my life.”

Ying Zheng nodded.

“Han Fei, I was right about you.”

On the day when the Qin army withdrew, Han Fei stood on the city wall and watched Ying Zheng’s carriage slowly leave.

Ying Zheng looked back at Han Fei with reluctance in his eyes.

“Han Fei, I look forward to seeing you again.”

Han Fei slowly bowed and said, “King Qin, Han Fei agrees as well.”

Xinzheng, the Royal Palace of Korea.

The atmosphere in the court was more tense than ever before.

The King of Han sat on the throne with a gloomy face.

In this court, he was almost a puppet, and facing the pressure from Ying Zheng, his sense of powerlessness became stronger and stronger.

Today, Han Fei returned from the Qin army camp, which has caused an uproar in the court.

Han Fei not only returned alive, but also brought back the news that the King of Qin had withdrawn his troops.

All this seemed like a bolt from the blue.

All civil and military officials gathered together at this moment.

There was shock, confusion, and uneasiness.

Especially Ji Wuye and his younger brother Ji Wushuang, who stood in the crowd with cold sweat on their palms.

When Han Fei, dressed in a plain robe, slowly stepped into the court, the entire hall instantly fell silent.

Everyone stared at him.

Some people were surprised that he could come back alive, while others were shocked at how he escaped unscathed from the oppression of the King of Qin.

But more people were full of doubts. How did Han Fei manage to make Ying Zheng withdraw his troops?
“This… Han Fei actually came back alive?”

“Not only did he come back alive, but he also brought back news that the King of Qin had withdrawn his troops! This is simply a fantasy!”

“What kind of person is Ying Zheng? Han Fei, a weak scholar, actually made the King of Qin withdraw his troops. It’s incredible!”

“Could it be that… Han Fei reached some kind of dermatitis deal with the King of Qin?”

Ji Wuye, who was standing in the crowd, had a normally cold and hard face, but at this moment, he could not hide a hint of stiffness.

His fingers were trembling slightly, hidden in his wide sleeves, and were almost bleeding.

Han Fei actually came back alive? How did he do it?
How could a man like the King of Qin let him go so easily? Did he discover something?
Ji Wuye’s thoughts were like the surging sea and could not calm down.

His eyes involuntarily swept towards Han Fei, trying to see something from Han Fei’s face.

But Han Fei’s expression was frighteningly calm, as if everything was under his control.

This calmness actually made Ji Wuye even more nervous.

No, he must have known something. He had stayed in the Qin army camp for three days, and Ying Zheng would never let him go for nothing.

But why didn’t he just expose me? What on earth was he trying to do?
Compared to Ji Wuye’s nervousness, Ji Wushuang was in even greater agony.

He stood at the back of the crowd.

As the mastermind of the assassination plan, he knew exactly what he was doing and what it would mean if he was exposed.

Han Fei…he must know!

The dagger was so obviously exposed that there was no way he could fail to find it.

But why didn’t he identify me right there? What was he waiting for?
Ji Wushuang was almost driven crazy by his own speculation.

Sweat slid down his forehead and his palms were already wet.

Han Fei walked to the center of the court, faced the King of Han, and bowed slightly.

“I, Han Fei, have fortunately fulfilled my mission and have ordered the King of Qin to withdraw his troops.”

This sentence was like a thunderclap!
The entire court was instantly boiling.

“Han Fei actually did it? He…how did he do it?”

“This… King Qin Ying Zheng has always been cold and ruthless, but Han Fei was able to make him withdraw his troops. This is simply a miracle!”

“What on earth did Han Fei say to make Ying Zheng change his mind?”

In the court, discussions were heard one after another.

Even the King of Han couldn’t help but lean forward slightly in his seat.

“Han Fei, did the King of Qin really withdraw his troops?”

Han Fei smiled and said, “Reporting to the king, the Qin army has withdrawn yesterday and is now on its way back to Xianyang. I believe you have all seen it.”

Upon hearing this, the King of Han felt so relieved that he almost collapsed on the throne.

“Okay, okay! Han Fei, you really didn’t let me down!”

As soon as Han Fei finished speaking, Ji Wuye suddenly stepped forward to test him: “Master Han, what kind of person is King Qin Ying Zheng? Why would he withdraw his troops so easily?”

As soon as these words were spoken, the entire court fell silent, and everyone turned their eyes to Han Fei.

Han Fei heard this, the smile on his face did not change at all, and he looked at Ji Wuye calmly: “General Ji, this is wrong. Although the King of Qin is a heroic ruler, he is also a rational person. Han Fei can persuade him with reason and move him with emotion, so he will naturally withdraw his troops.”

Ji Wuye frowned, obviously not satisfied with this answer.

“Persuade with reason? Master Han, do you think that a few nice words can make the King of Qin withdraw his troops?”

Han Fei smiled slightly and said, “If General Ji doesn’t believe it, you can ask the King of Qin in person. However, the King of Qin has already withdrawn his troops, so why is General Ji still holding on to it?”

Ji Wuye was choked by Han Fei’s words, and his face suddenly turned ugly.

At this moment, Ji Wushuang, who was standing at the back, was about to collapse.

Every word Han Fei said almost made him explode.

Why didn’t he expose me on the spot?
Is he delaying on purpose, or waiting for a more opportune moment?

No, he must be playing with me! He already knows everything, he is just torturing me!
Han Fei looked at Ji Wuye and Ji Wushuang and sneered in his heart.

Ji Wushuang, do you think I don’t know that it was you who sent the assassin?

But what good would it do to expose you now? You are just a chess piece, and I need the whole chessboard.

You are still useful.

Han Fei knew very well that although Ji Wushuang’s assassination plan was stupid, what was involved behind it was the complicated power struggle in South Korea.

Once he exposes Ji Wushuang, the court of South Korea will inevitably fall into chaos. At this moment, South Korea has just resolved the threat from Qin, and what it needs most is stability.

Must be forbearing.

We just need to wait for a more appropriate time to eradicate Ji Wushuang’s ambition.

Ji Wushuang, don’t be impatient. I will play this game slowly.

The shock in the court gradually subsided.

Ji Wuye and Ji Wushuang secretly exchanged glances, and they both knew what was going on.

Han Fei has become a big threat to them.

Han Fei stood in the center of the court and looked at everyone.

The corners of his mouth raised slightly.

Shocked? Nervous? Good, that’s exactly what I wanted.

Next, it is time for me, Han Fei, to make my real plan.

Xinzheng, the residence of Han Fei.

When Han Fei returned from the court and walked through the gate of the mansion, his emotions were still not completely calmed down.

The shock and power struggles in the court once again made him feel the unpredictable situation in the political arena.

But at this moment, what he cared about most was Bai Jing.

Bai Jing is his confidant and the person he trusts the most.

During the confrontation with the King of Qin, there was a pair of eyes behind him who were always watching the situation.

However, he never expected that Bai Jing already knew about the danger he was in the Qin army camp, but he acted so calmly.

When Han Fei stepped into the study, Bai Jing was sitting leisurely at the desk with a cup of tea in his hand.

He looked at the plum tree outside the window, not caring about the ups and downs in the outside world.

Han Fei was puzzled when he saw him like this.

I was imprisoned by the King of Qin for three days and nearly died, but he could still be so calm?

Han Fei paused for a moment, then walked up to Bai Jing and said, “Bai Jing, do you know… I almost didn’t make it back alive?”

Bai Jing turned his head and said, “Sir, since you are standing here, it means that everything is under your control.”

Han Fei frowned slightly: “You already knew my situation in Qin’s camp?”

Bai Jing put down the teacup and nodded gently: “Of course I know.”

These words were like a huge rock dropped on us.

He actually knew about it long ago? Why didn’t he take any action during those three days?

Han Fei felt a surge of anger in his heart, but he suppressed it and calmed himself down: “Since you knew, why didn’t you take any action? Aren’t you worried that I would die in Qin’s camp?”

Bai Jing smiled slightly: “Sir, of course I am worried.”

“But what can I do if I worry? What kind of person is King Qin Ying Zheng? If he decides to kill you, even if I try my best, I will be powerless to stop him.”

“And if he doesn’t kill you, it means he still has doubts in his heart. In this case, the only thing I can do is wait and see.”

Han Fei was shocked when he heard this.

Just sit back and watch? With my life or death in jeopardy, he chose to sit back and watch?

Bai Jing continued, “The fact that you came back alive shows that you have already won over Ying Zheng. I believe in your wisdom and the rationality of the King of Qin.”

When Han Fei heard this, the anger in his heart gradually subsided.

Bai Jing’s words may seem cruel and ruthless, but they are not without reason.

His assessment of the situation was surprisingly accurate.

Bai Jing looked at Han Fei and smiled faintly: “Sir, do you have any questions in your mind?”

Han Fei was silent for a moment, then he sighed softly: “Bai Jing, your calmness makes me feel uneasy.”

Bai Jing was slightly stunned, then smiled and said, “Sir, you don’t have to be uneasy.”

“I am calm only because I know that you are smarter and calmer than anyone else. As long as you are alive, this game of chess will not be lost.”

Han Fei looked at Bai Jing and suddenly smiled: “Bai Jing, sometimes I really want to know, do you trust me or gamble with my life?”

Bai Jing said frankly: “Sir, every move in this world is a gamble. But rather than saying that I am betting on your fate, I would rather say that I am betting on your wisdom.”

“And it turns out that my bet was right.”

When Han Fei heard this, a complex emotion surged in his heart.

Bai Jing’s calmness stems from his trust in me, and this trust is based on absolute rationality.

He sees farther and more clearly than I do.

Han Fei suddenly sighed: “Bai Jing, sometimes I really envy you for being able to see everything so clearly, yet being so calm.”

Bai Jing smiled slightly: “Sir, if I am not so calm, how can I assist you?”

Han Fei nodded: “Indeed, without you, I might not be able to get to where I am today.”

The atmosphere in the study gradually eased.

Han Fei and Bai Jing looked at each other for a moment, and they understood each other’s thoughts.

Han Fei walked out of the study.

Ying Zheng’s withdrawal was only a temporary victory.

Ji Wushuang’s conspiracy is the key to what happens next.

Bai Jing trusts my wisdom, and I must live up to this trust.

Han Fei raised his head and looked into the distance.

There are still many roads to be taken in this game.

But no matter what, I will win.

In Xinzheng City, a silent night envelopes this ancient capital.

Han Fei returned to the bedroom from the study and stood in front of the window with a frown on his face.

The inexplicable look on Ying Zheng’s face when he left kept appearing in my mind.

Han Fei, I trust you.

Ying Zheng’s words were like a sharp sword, piercing deeply into Han Fei’s heart.

Ying Zheng’s trust was not unconditional. It was not only a recognition of his wisdom, but also a test of his commitment.

“I promised King Qin that I would find out who was behind the assassination.”

“Ying Zheng knew that Ji Wushuang was behind this, but he still chose to trust me and withdrew his troops. This is not only a trust, but also a warning. If I can’t give an explanation, he can come back at any time.”

“How can we give an answer that can stabilize the situation in South Korea and satisfy the King of Qin? Do we really have to hand over Ji Wushuang?”

At the same time, on the other side of the Ji Mansion.

Ji Wushuang was sitting in the room, and the teacup in his hand was thrown heavily to the ground, breaking into countless pieces.

His chest heaved violently: “Han Fei! Damn Han Fei!”

He couldn’t understand how Han Fei escaped from the hands of King Ying Zheng of Qin.

He couldn’t understand why Han Fei didn’t identify him on the spot.

“He must have known! The dagger has already been exposed, there’s no way he wouldn’t find out about me.”

“But why didn’t he tell on me?”

Ji Wushuang’s mind kept flashing back to Han Fei’s indifference and that easy smile in the court.

“He must be waiting for a more appropriate time!”

“No, I can’t wait any longer! Han Fei can’t stay!”

Unlike Ji Wushuang’s rage, his brother Ji Wuye seemed much calmer.

He was sitting on a low couch in the room, playing with a dagger in his hand.

“Wushuang, calm down.” Ji Wuye said.

“Although Han Fei didn’t expose you, it doesn’t mean that he let you go.”

Ji Wushuang turned to look at his brother angrily after hearing this: “Brother, what should we do? Are we just going to sit there and wait for Han Fei to deal with us?”

Ji Wuye snorted coldly: “Of course not. Since Han Fei did not identify you on the spot, it means that he is also afraid of the power in our hands.”

“He is either biding his time or planning something bigger.”

“But no matter what, Han Fei has become our biggest threat. He cannot stay.”

Ji Wushuang gritted his teeth and said, “But Han Fei is now very famous in the court. If we act rashly, wouldn’t we be courting death?”

Ji Wuye sneered: “Who said we should do it openly? Since Han Fei likes to play tricks, let’s play a big one with him.”

Han Fei stood in front of the window, constantly sorting out the current situation in his mind.

It is an established fact that Ji Wushuang sent assassins to assassinate Ying Zheng.

But I cannot expose him directly. Right now, South Korea is facing internal and external troubles. If I start a civil unrest at this time, it will only give Ying Zheng an excuse to send troops again.

But if I don’t expose him, how can I explain to Ying Zheng?

Since this is a dilemma, I will create a third way.

He turned slowly and looked at a scroll of bamboo slips on the desk, a faint smile appearing at the corner of his mouth.

Ji Wushuang, do you think I didn’t expose you because I’m afraid of you?

No, I’m waiting for the right moment for you to reveal your flaws.

Early the next morning, Han Fei summoned Bai Jing and several of his confidants and began to lay out his plan.

In the study, Bai Jing sat aside: “Sir, have you decided how to deal with Ji Wushuang?”

Han Fei nodded slightly: “But I can’t expose him directly.”

Bai Jing seemed to be thinking: “Because the withdrawal of the King of Qin is only temporary, he is waiting for your explanation?”

Han Fei smiled faintly: “That’s right.”

“Ying Zheng’s trust is based on my ability to give a satisfactory answer, but this answer cannot be directly directed to Ji Wushuang.”

Bai Jing frowned slightly: “Sir, if you don’t point to Ji Wushuang, will the King of Qin think you are hiding the truth?”

Han Fei shook his head: “No, Ying Zheng doesn’t care about the truth.”

“He only cares about the results. As long as I can convince him that South Korea has eliminated the internal threat, he will not pursue it further.”

Bai Jing heard this and said, “Master, you are very smart. Do you mean to use Ji Wushuang’s power to set up a reverse plan and make him reveal his flaws?”

Han Fei smiled slightly: “That’s right! Ji Wushuang has already thought about killing me. I just need to guide him a little bit and he will fall into my trap step by step.”

At the same time, Ji Wushuang also began his counterattack.

He summoned several confidants and began to plan how to deal with Han Fei.

“Han Fei is now highly valued by the king. We must get rid of him as soon as possible.”

“General, Han Fei has always been cautious. If we act rashly, we might end up getting burned.”

“So I won’t do it myself. I will create a situation and let Han Fei go to his own death.”

“Doesn’t Han Fei like to talk about the Legalist philosophy? Then I’ll let him die doing what he is best at.”

Han Fei stood in the study of his mansion, holding a scroll of bamboo slips in his hand.

Ji Wushuang, your assassin almost brought me to my doom. Now that I’m back alive, you can no longer do whatever you want in this game.

In the study room of Han Fei’s mansion, Bai Jing stood aside.

“Sir, do you mean… to deliberately give Ji Wushuang a chance?”

Han Fei smiled slightly: “Ji Wushuang wants to get rid of me, he will definitely seize any possible opportunity.”

“Instead of passively defending, I will take the initiative and give him a chance so that he thinks this is the best time for him to counterattack me.”

Bai Jing seemed to be thinking: “Sir, if he really takes the bait, it will be exactly what you want.”

“But if he realizes that this is a trap, wouldn’t that just increase the complexity?”

Han Fei shook his head: “He won’t notice. Ji Wushuang’s character determines that he can’t tolerate my existence.”

“The more anxious he is to get rid of me, the more likely he is to make mistakes. What I have to do is to push the situation to the point where he can no longer control himself.”

“Bai Jing, pass on my order. All subordinates must fully cooperate with the operation. I want Ji Wushuang to think that his chance has finally come.”

Bai Jing had a hint of admiration in his heart: “My lord, you are very smart. You let the enemy fall into the trap without taking any action.”

A few days later, Ji Wushuang could no longer hold back and sent someone to spy on Han Fei’s movements.

“Han Fei’s recent actions are a little unusual.”

“He is investigating some clues about the assassin, but has not made any direct accusations against you, General.”

Ji Wushuang frowned upon hearing this: “He’s investigating? Humph, he must have obtained some evidence, but why hasn’t he taken any action yet?”

Ji Wuye stood aside and said coldly: “Han Fei didn’t take action because he is not completely sure yet.”

“He wants to delay time and wait until the right time to wipe us out in one fell swoop.”

Ji Wushuang gritted his teeth and said, “Brother, we can’t wait any longer! Since he wants to deal with us, let’s do it before he does!”

Ji Wuye nodded: “Okay! Wushuang, this time, we must kill him with one blow and never give him any chance to fight back.”

The atmosphere in Han Fei’s mansion was calm yet tense.

Bai Jing stood in the study: “Sir, Ji Wushuang’s spies have been targeting us, and they have already taken action.”

Han Fei nodded slightly: “Very good, this is exactly what I want. The more anxious they are, the easier it is to be exposed.”

Bai Jing hesitated for a moment and asked in a low voice: “Sir, aren’t you worried that Ji Wushuang will become desperate and attack you directly?”

Han Fei smiled and said, “If he dares to make a move, I will make sure he never returns.”

The night was as dark as ink, and the streets outside Han Fei’s residence were quiet and silent, with only the rustling of dead leaves in the wind.

Five assassins in black lurked in the shadows.

“The target is in the study ahead.”

“Follow the plan and leave no one alive.”

Everyone nodded and approached Han Fei’s study quietly.

The candlelight in the room flickered slightly, casting a vague shadow of Han Fei through the window paper.

The assassins looked at each other, and the leader waved his hand forward, signaling his companions to surround them from all sides.

However, just as they were about to approach the study, the door of the study was suddenly pushed open with a creaky sound.

Han Fei walked out of the study slowly, wearing a dark robe.

“It seems that we have a distinguished guest coming tonight.”

The assassins were stunned and took a step back in instinctive alert.

“Han Fei, even if you find out, so what? This day next year will be the anniversary of your death!”

Before he finished speaking, the five men drew their daggers at the same time and quickly dispersed, surrounding Han Fei in a fan shape.

“How ridiculous.” Han Fei said softly.

After saying that, his demeanor suddenly changed!
The next moment, Han Fei stepped hard and rushed forward like a gust of wind.

The assassin obviously did not expect Han Fei to take the initiative to attack, and even… did not expect Han Fei to have such skills!
Han Fei’s figure approached like a ghost, so fast that the assassin could hardly react.

“Bang!” The assassin instinctively swung his knife to block, but before he could see Han Fei’s movements clearly, the dagger in his hand was knocked out of his hand by a punch and fell to the ground not far away.

“?” The leading assassin’s face changed drastically. Before he could retreat, Han Fei had already rushed forward and punched him in the chest with a heavy punch.

“boom–!”

There was a dull sound, and he flew backwards like a kite with a broken string, hit the wall heavily, spurted out of his mouth, and fainted.

The remaining four assassins were stunned by this scene.

“How is it possible? He is so powerful in martial arts?”

“Don’t be afraid! Let’s go together!”
