Chapter 155 Trust and Respect
Fusu looked at Li You's determined eyes and couldn't help feeling a little emotional.
He knew that Li You was a talented and ambitious young man.
If we can help each other sincerely, perhaps we can really resolve this political crisis.
But he is also aware of the cruelty of political struggle and will not make a decision easily.
Fusu looked deeply at the direction where Li You left, his heart full of expectation and worry.
For him, this cooperation with Li Si was a major political decision and a huge challenge.
He knew that Li You, as Li Si's son, played a vital role in this cooperation.
His attitude will directly affect the success or failure of the cooperation.
Just then, Li Chen walked in and broke the silence in the room.
He looked at Fusu with a concerned look on his face, and asked in a low voice: "Sir, do we need to send someone to monitor Li You?"
Fusu frowned slightly when he heard this. After thinking for a moment, he slowly shook his head.
"No need." Fusu's voice was calm and firm.
"Although our Jinyiwei are elite, in this case, rash surveillance may backfire."
Li Chen looked at Fusu in confusion, waiting for his further explanation.
Fusu continued, "Li You is a smart man. He naturally understands the importance of this cooperation."
"If we send someone to monitor him, it is likely to disgust him and even destroy the trust between us."
"Such an outcome is not good for either of us."
After hearing this, Li Chen nodded thoughtfully, "Sir, you have considered everything. So what should we do next?"
Fusu smiled slightly, and a glimmer of wisdom flashed in his eyes.
"What we need to do now is to wait and see how things change, and respond to all changes with the same attitude."
"Since Li You has made his position clear, we should give him enough trust and respect."
"I believe he will bring us good news."
Li You returned home from the palace. It was already late at night. The moonlight shone on the bluestone slabs, reflecting his steady and firm steps.
He had already anticipated that this meeting with Fusu would inevitably arouse his father's suspicion and dissatisfaction.
But for the future of Daqin and for the justice he held in his heart, he took this step without hesitation.
When he pushed open the door, Li You saw his father Li Si waiting for him in the house, as if he had already expected his return.
The atmosphere in the room was solemn and depressing. Li Si sat on the armchair with his eyes closed, not saying a word, exuding a cold aura.
Li You took a deep breath and took the initiative to step forward to greet his father: "Father, I'm back."
Li Si still closed his eyes and ignored Li You. This silent attitude made Li You feel an invisible pressure.
He knew that his father was expressing his dissatisfaction and anger through silence.
Seeing that his father did not respond, Li You turned around and wanted to leave. However, just as he was about to step out of the door, Li Si finally spoke slowly: "You have grown up. Now I, as the father of the Li family, have no say."
Li You stopped and turned to look at his father, frowning slightly: "Father, why do you say that?"
Li Si slowly opened his eyes and his gaze shot towards Li You like a knife.
"You knew I wanted to befriend Hu Hai, yet you went to see Fusu secretly without telling me."
Li You did not show any fear or retreat in the face of his father's questioning.
He looked at his father calmly and spoke in a firm tone.
"Father, I went to see Fusu not to betray you or the Li family, but for the future of the Qin Dynasty."
