Trusting someone is not an easy matter. Many people confide in strangers, yet choose to hide their thoughts and deceive those closest to them.
When Han Shizhong expressed his trust in Shen Yue, he was also making his stance clear.
Liu Yanqing was stunned speechless and stared at Han Shizhong with a newfound gaze.
Over the years, Liu Yanqing had always kept Han Shizhong by his side—not out of trust or appreciation, but because he understood deeply that fighting a battle is not the same as engaging in idle chatter. True victory requires brave and intelligent generals.
Han Shizhong possessed both courage and wisdom.
Liu Yanqing had always controlled Han Shizhong—not starving him, but never allowing him to be overly satisfied. His reason was simple: he needed someone to pave the way for his own future. For years, he had meticulously kept Han Shizhong under his thumb, ensuring he could never escape his grasp. Even now, he still saw the same compliance in Han Shizhong.
