Chapter 1172: Chapter 1171: The One You Truly Need to Cooperate With

Luo Yirui’s eyes lit up, and his heartbeat suddenly accelerated. His first thought was that he could openly... no, openly do such an exciting thing.

He was excited to agree immediately, but then he felt a very faint gaze, like a cool breeze, cooling down his heated heart significantly.

He secretly took a deep breath, looked straight at his mother, and asked, "What is the request, Mom, you say."

Beisitian’s tense lips relaxed slightly, her eyes showing appreciation, with a trace of heartache crossing where Luo Yirui couldn’t see.

"Mom hasn’t hidden many things from Little Rui. I believe Little Rui knows the danger of this matter. The place you found last night is very likely the secret base of the Nie Family. If you can weaken them, the chaos in the world will lessen, and Beijing won’t need to be heavily guarded."

Luo Yirui nodded. He had experienced life and death, naturally making him more composed than his peers. He knew this matter was far more serious than when he was kidnapped by the evil Mystic Doctor.

"The Hou Family’s child should be the main operative this time, and the Fu Family’s child will be the backup. Now, Mrs. Hou Yue hopes you can be like the child from the Fu Family and assist Hou Baiyu," Beisitian said.

Luo Yirui nodded. He had guessed something last night. Today, when Mrs. Hou came, she did not avoid speaking in front of him, so he, of course, knew. However, he didn’t know what exactly Hou Baiyu was going to do.

"Mom has already planned to cooperate with the Hou Family, but we have no basis of trust. Mom doesn’t even know why the Hou Family wants you as an assistant."

Afterward, Beisitian explained all her thoughts and plans to Luo Yirui.

This time the Hou Family came, and it seems the real purpose is to have Luo Yirui assist Hou Baiyu. But why, among so many excellent children in the castle, choose Luo Yirui?

Beisitian thought the Hou Family might want Luo Yirui as cannon fodder, but You Hong’an relayed a message saying this wasn’t decided by Mrs. Hou but by Hou Baiyu himself!

This information must be true. If so, the likelihood of the purpose being genuine greatly increases. In other words, Hou Baiyu’s status in the Hou Family is somewhat unimaginable.

If this assumption is the premise, then Mrs. Hou’s equal attitude can be explained.

"If the discussion goes well, Little Rui will cooperate with the operation, but you must be smart. Cooperation is fine, but you must never be used. Mom believes you can distinguish this, and you must think through the purpose and consequences before acting. That’s the first point."

Seeing Luo Yirui listening earnestly, Beisitian continued, "The second, and most important point, is that cooperating with Hou Baiyu is just a surface action. Your real cooperation should be with You Hong’an!"

Luo Yirui slightly widened his eyes and turned his head in astonishment to look at You Hong’an. His mother actually entrusted his safety to an ally, which was almost impossible!

Why!

Luo Yirui stared at You Hong’an, pondering this question, wondering what made his mother trust him or what leverage this person had over her?

This possibility exists, but it is unlikely. He never doubted his mother’s concern for him, so the issue must lie with You Hong’an.
