However, Yuzhenghao knew that, given his meager understanding of Li Dai, if he agreed to his master's request today, the relationship between him and Li Dai would forever be reduced to that of strangers.
Although Yuzhenghao possessed a righteous and noble disposition, he was, after all, the young master nurtured by the Taiyi Chamber of Commerce. He was far from foolish; on the contrary, he was excessively clever. Should he cut ties with Li Dai now to guard against a potential future crisis, or should he refuse his master's request and build more favor with Li Dai? This was a critical decision.
If he agreed to his master today, no matter how high Li Dai climbed or how successful she became in the future, it would have absolutely nothing to do with Yuzhenghao. Yet if he refused his master's demand and disaster truly struck later on, not only would he die, but the Taiyi Chamber of Commerce behind him—and even his master—would be implicated. This was precisely why he was caught in such a dilemma.
