These words were spoken not just for Xia Qing to hear, but also for himself. He would only help this once, and in the future, Xia Qing should never expect to threaten him over this matter.
Xia Qing listened with a slight smile on his face, but in his heart, he sneered.
Even someone as upright as Zhang Hai is not above acting against principles for personal interest.
He always believed there is no one in this world who cannot be moved, whether for fame, power, or due to various unavoidable reasons.
As for Zhang Hai's claim that this would be the only time, he did not believe it. This time was for Changsun's life, and next time it would be for something else.
As for holding this over Zhang Hai to make him his own, that would not work. Because this matter involved Min Feng, exposing it would be disadvantageous to everyone.
"Then Mr. Zhang should know what to do. Once it's presented to the Emperor, I will fulfill my promise."
