Pang Xiao deliberately handed the admission card to Tang Yiyi in advance, having judged her character accurately. He knew that once she got the item, she wouldn't flee at the last minute, effectively cutting off her retreat and leaving her no opportunity to back out.
Admittedly, this was quite a risk. If it were someone else, he wouldn't have dared do it, but he had a fair understanding of Tang Yiyi and trusted her character, which gave him the courage. He knew Tang Yiyi was someone who responded better to soft approaches than hard ones. By giving her the item early, not only would she not run away at the last minute nor do a perfunctory job, but she would also be fully committed to protecting Pang Zhi.
His guess was correct. Once Tang Yiyi accepted the card, she naturally had no room to regret. For her, only one question remained: what would happen to Tang Yuan when she went to Wu City?
