Longevity by Picking up Attributes in the Battlefield

”It is good that you have come to understand, Brother Han.”

”In the future, Qin will have gained another great talent,” Li Si said with a smile, feigning happiness for Han Fei, though internally he was cursing endlessly.

Han Fei’s sudden change of heart completely thwarted Li Si’s original plan. He had intended for Han Fei to drink the poison willingly, allowing Li Si to report that Han Fei had refused to submit and had taken his own life. In that scenario, not even the King of Qin could have done anything about it. After all, he was an important minister of Qin; the King would not punish him severely for the sake of Han Fei. Li Si was very confident about this.

But now, Han Fei’s reversal had left Li Si at a loss.

Do I have to poison him by force? A cold glint flickered in Li Si’s eyes.

Things had come to this. If Han Fei truly sided with Wang Wan and Fusu, it would be a disaster. Furthermore, even if he didn’t join Wang Wan’s faction, Li Si was deeply concerned about the prospect of serving alongside him in the same court.

Jealousy. Perhaps that was the original sin.

But at that moment, Han Fei said something else that left Li Si utterly powerless.

”A few days ago, a Senior Minister from Qin visited me in prison. He claimed to be a subordinate of the Eldest Imperial Son of Qin and was named Wang Wen. I wonder if Brother Li is acquainted with him? I have already expressed my willingness to surrender to Qin to him. I imagine it won’t be long before he informs the King of Qin of my intentions,” Han Fei said with a smile.

Li Si froze upon hearing the name Wang Wen.
