Yun Xi suddenly understood, her eyes brightened, then she frowned and said,
"Even if I go back, I definitely won't be trusted immediately, right? Old Dog Zhuang won't fail to guess that I might have been turned."
Zhao Douan snapped his fingers and smiled,
"He definitely can think of that, which is why the person I plan to exchange is not just a few, but a group. A large group."
A peculiar expression appeared on his face as he stood up and paced around the interrogation room,
"In the past three years, the court has arrested quite a few rebels across various regions. Some have died, but many are still detained.
As long as we exchange a large enough number of prisoners, even if Zhuang Xiaocheng harbors suspicions, he won't be able to hide away such a large group or keep them imprisoned indefinitely.
Well, at most he could temporarily keep them under surveillance, but then what? He has to release them eventually, at most prevented from rejoining the workforce for safety."
