Upon hearing his name, Wen Zhaojun panicked. How did he find out? His mouth was notoriously loose; as long as the price was right, he could even smuggle in contraband to the Imperial Academy. In fact, if the payment was sufficient, he could take the blame for other students and endure beatings with a grin on his face, which was quite unsettling.
Seeing that both Wen Zhaojun and Lian Baoying were worried, Sang Qingxiao laughed. Why fret? From another perspective, hadn’t they already said that as long as the price was right, his mouth would be sealed? He could even do things for them.
"Does he live at the Imperial Academy?" Lian Baoying nodded.
Sang Qingxiao learned the dormitory number and sent Li Cu on an errand. Before long, Li Cu quietly brought the person over.
Wang Kuan arrived dressed neatly, as if he knew he would be going out at night.
Lian Baoying frowned upon seeing him, but Wang Kuan greeted her with a bright smile and subtly winked at Sang Qingxiao. Sang Qingxiao pretended not to see and took a sip of tea.
Once inside, Wang Kuan showed no hesitation about gender propriety and found a seat for himself comfortably.
Lian Baoying felt inexplicably annoyed at this sight and hadn’t even spoken her mind yet when Wang Kuan directly initiated the conversation about their deal. "I can join the common students and help you gather information. Once it’s done, you’ll need to do something for me."
Wen Zhaojun frowned. "We can give you money."
"Money?" Wang Kuan chuckled. "I've saved quite a bit these days; it's enough for now. I don’t need it temporarily."
Lian Baoying asked, "Then what do you want us to do for you?"
"Let’s discuss that later."
Lian Baoying refused. "That won’t do! What if it’s something bad you want us to help with? I can ask about odd matters myself; there are certainly other methods that don’t require your help."
"I’ve been operating within the Imperial Academy for a long time," Wang Kuan replied. "I have insights into what they do, and this carries significant risk. My specialty is surviving amidst risks, which makes me the most suitable candidate."
"You don’t need to worry, young lady. Once it’s done, my demands won’t be excessive. With Miss Sang backing you up, even if you try to renege on your promise, I’ll have no way to force you."
"Then why bring it up at all? Just take the money directly! Half upfront and half later would be safer."
Wang Kuan pondered for a moment before conceding. "Alright, I’ll lay my cards on the table. I’m not actually from a common family; I come from an official family myself. What I’m asking is that once it’s done, you help me reclaim my identity."
Lian Baoying was taken aback. "Which family are you from?"
Both she and Wen Zhaojun were familiar with the intricacies of official families and their entanglements of grievances and grudges. Therefore, it wasn’t convenient for him to disclose details when the timing wasn’t right.
After weighing the pros and cons, Lian Baoying and Wen Zhaojun agreed to his terms. Naturally, they stipulated that there would be no restrictive conditions in their exchange. Wang Kuan readily accepted each condition without any hesitation, suddenly becoming quite agreeable.
With that, I will act quickly. Everyone, just wait for good news.
He left with a carefree demeanor. Lian Baoying was still in a daze, and after a while, he began to smile foolishly. What he said must be true, right? If it is, that would be wonderful; I love watching grand dramas of love and vengeance!
Wen Zhaojun, however, was worried. She wondered if her earlier nodding had been the right response. She hoped she hadn't been misled into getting involved in matters that were not suitable for her family. Once she agreed, what was there to worry about? She thought those restrictions were just empty words.
