Chapter 498: It's Too Late

Zhao Fan's expression eased somewhat upon hearing Zhang Meng speak and said, "What do you mean by that, Vice General Zhang? Could there be a twist to the situation?"

The idea had been proposed by Zhang Meng, and as Zhao Fan relied even more on Zhang Meng, hearing him speak this way, he knew Zhang Meng must have thought of a plan.

"General, hear your subordinate out. Although they botched the mission this time and failed to capture Su Wenyue, it's not without merit. Su Wenyue jumped off the cliff, and from such a height, she would undoubtedly die. If Han Yu really values Su Wenyue that much, he will surely be thrown into disarray by this incident, and may make some irrational decisions. We just need to send someone to watch; if there's any slip from Han Yu, we'll have an opening to exploit. Combined with inside help, we might take Yiyang City in one fell swoop. And if Han Yu doesn't show as much affection as he claims, then the situation isn't as dire as you described."
