The man seemed to have made up his mind long ago, and he said gravely, "Miss, if it weren't for you, my mother would already be dead! I have no other wishes in this life but to stay by my mother's side and enjoy her twilight years. I am willing to help Miss out, which is also helping myself!"
Zhan Lan nodded, "Good, Kong Shen, once the matter is successful, I will ensure the safety of you and your mother!"
The man bowed deeply, gratefully saying, "Thank you, Miss Zhan!"
Zhan Lan left the courtyard.

He was startled when he saw the man's face.
Upon seeing him, the man knelt to the ground, raising a letter high with both hands.
