Though brief, the message was rich in content, almost explicitly indicating his acknowledgment of Luyi's understanding, and even admitting that the same reason brought him here.

"After it proved ineffective, they took an even bigger risk seeking your help. Given your rank and knowledge, it was definitely worth it—"
"Smooth. What intrigues me next is how you turned out like this and what happened to the newborn?"
Unfortunately, Li He directly interrupted the flattery, mercilessly pushing forward to the next topic.
