Qin Yuan smiled and said, "I cannot accept being praised by you, sir. It is only due to the ingenuity of the Marquis's men under his command that they were able to manage, what I mentioned may not work for others."
Mr. Songshan stretched out his long neck and said solemnly, "As the art of war states, plan thoroughly before taking action; hence, the emphasis is on strategy. There is no need for you to be so modest.
The Gu Family sons are credited this time for catching the thief, and they will surely be rewarded. Moreover, with your schemes for the family's lasting legacy, the rise of the Gu Family is inevitable."
Qin Yuan smiled, hesitated for a moment, then rose to perform a greeting and said earnestly, "Mr. Songshan, there is one thing I do not understand and would like to request your guidance."
Mr. Songshan couldn't help but stroke his beard, showing some caution.
"Young Master Nantang is exceptionally wise. What puzzles you? Please speak, and I will do my best to answer."
