Saying one thing and doing another, Li Hongjiu racked his brains and still couldn't figure out what exactly Shi Chun was going to do.
In fact, Yu Yifu didn't even need to threaten him; as long as he, Li Hongjiu, knew that Shi Chun was still outside, he himself would find an excuse to go out once.
Now that Yu Yifu had taken the initiative to speak, Li Hongjiu instead found it awkward to straightforwardly accept the order. He put on a show of hesitation and said, "I already went to talk to him before. He wouldn't budge at all. What use is it to go again?"
Yu Yifu stressed, "I said, this time you just need to find out whether the mount is on him or not."
They hadn't been able to force Shi Chun to submit when they were inside; now that the man had run off to a safe zone, he had even less hope that Shi Chun would back down.
