A Fight Between the Empress and the Official

Commander Tong had no intention of explaining further. After saying that, he left.

Hong Liquan followed him quietly. After confirming that Commander Tong had walked away, he turned around and saw that Lin Ran had already untied the rope and stood up.

"Brother Lin…"

Hong Liquan hesitated for a moment before asking softly, "How long can you hold your breath?"

Lin Ran rolled his eyes. "Why? Do you really want to bury me?"

"No! No!"

Hong Liquan hurriedly waved his hand. "There's a process to this kind of thing. Not only will someone verify your identity, but there will also be someone watching over you when you're buried… I won't even have the chance to swap you!"

Lin Ran gritted his teeth and didn't say anything. He looked troubled.

If it came to that, he would have no choice but to make a move. However, if that happened, he would definitely be accused of escaping.
