"What constitutes a good master or a reliable backing?" Wang Wu's tone remained as calm as ever. "Should I seek to attach myself to Lord Chu as my support? Lord Chu wouldn't even spare me a glance. Back in the late Warring States period, Fan Ju was merely a commoner, nearly beaten to death by Wei Qi, the Prime Minister of Wei Kingdom. It was only with the help of his retainer Zheng Anping that he managed to escape to Qin State. After Fan Ju became the Prime Minister of Qin, he recommended Zheng Anping for the position of general. Captain Su may be a minor figure now, but Wang Wu has been watching his actions in Linjiang City closely. Wang Wu believes that Captain Su will one day become someone like Fan Ju, and I aspire to be that Zheng Anping. When Captain Su rises to prominence, it will be our chance to shine as loyal hounds."
"What?" Su Han seemed not to have heard clearly. "What did you say you are?"
"A hound," Wang Wu repeated. "Or rather, a vicious dog. A vicious dog never harms its master, but if its master commands it to act, the dog will be the first to charge forward and tear apart whatever target its master desires, leaving them battered and bruised. But to have such a vicious dog, one must raise it from a young age and grow alongside it."
Su Han was genuinely impressed this time. To compare oneself to a dog—especially a vicious one! What could be said about Wang Wu? If used well, he would undoubtedly be the most capable assistant; but if mishandled, this vicious dog could turn on its master. Moreover, this fellow was far too clever—he was practically a cunning hound!
"Alright, Wang Wu," Su Han decided firmly. "Since you've put it this way, I'll lay my cards on the table as well. If what you say is true and one day I achieve great success, no amount of gold can repay your kindness; but there's one more thing..."
"Grudge for a Grudge—no amount of punishment can settle it," Wang Wu interjected calmly. "Throughout history, those who accomplish great things always repay even the smallest kindness and seek vengeance for any grievances. Wang Wu seeks gold, not punishment!"
Su Han nodded but winced as pain shot through his shoulder wound, causing him to break out in cold sweat. He silently complained about how in books, tough characters could endure even severe injuries without flinching—why couldn't he?
"Wang Wu, I have something for you to do right now." Su Han laid out his thoughts clearly.
"Wang Wu understands," Wang Wu replied with his usual expressionless demeanor. "But I kindly ask Captain Su not to inquire about how I will carry out this task or what methods I will use."
"Just don't let anyone die."
"Under the emperor's nose, Wang Wu doesn't have the guts for that. Besides, killing Xu Deshan would not only render him useless to us but also create enmity," Wang Wu understood these matters thoroughly. "Wang Wu only wishes that when someone inevitably comes looking for revenge against me in the future, Captain Su will find a way to protect this vicious dog’s life."
Wasn't that thinking too far ahead? In this era, whether he could keep his own life was still uncertain.
"I'll consider you my backing!" Su Han felt somewhat reckless saying this. "As long as you focus on helping me with my tasks, anyone who dares touch you will face my wrath!"
"Then Wang Wu has nothing to worry about."
At that moment, a commotion erupted outside the ward; it sounded like Su Yao was cursing at someone.
"If I'm not mistaken, Xu Deshan must have arrived," Su Han said with a slight smirk. "Old Five, should we meet him or not?"
"Meet him; why not?" Wang Wu replied decisively. "Xu Deshan is here to test us; we can take this opportunity to test him as well. Now it's just a matter of who can remain more composed."
Just as Su Han had thought, Xu Deshan was indeed flustered. Wounding an undercover guard from the Royal Confidential Office was no small matter. He had come to assess the situation and find a way to salvage things. Since their goals aligned...
"Let Xu Deshan in!"
