"Yes, you naturally know your third brother better than I do......"

Gao Ran naturally took over the conversation, and lost no time in asking "casually", "Then you should naturally know what your third brother wants most, right?"

Yun Jie glanced at Gao Ran with a little alarm, but found that there was nothing in her eyes.

It felt as if the question she had just asked was just a casual one—without any motive.

"Hehe, it's better not to be curious about this matter...... Yun Jie hinted meaningfully.

"Heh, you think I'm curious?!......"

"Just what?!"

"It's just that your third brother forced me to be curious......"

"Oh?!What do you mean by that?!"

At this time, Yun Jie had unconsciously aroused Gao Ran's interest.

But Gao Ran didn't want to satisfy his curiosity right away, but deliberately whetted his appetite.

She quipped, "You want to know?!"

"Say!"

"Well......" Gao Ran deliberately showed a rather embarrassed expression, and then said with a little hesitation, "But, what can I do if I tell you? If you can't help, then I'm talking in vain!"

"Oh-I see! So you have something to ask me for!"

At this moment, Yun Jie finally understood the true purpose of Gao Ran's dealings with him just now.

"Wrong! It's not 'begging' you, but I want to make a deal with you!"

"Deal?!"

"Well, don't you want to ask me for help with something?! Isn't that just right! We're trading fairly! That way, we don't have to worry about owing each other favors afterwards! You know, this debt is the hardest thing to repay......

"Well...... Yun Jie thought for a moment, then nodded in response, "At least, we can listen to what we have to talk about before deciding whether or not to make this deal...... But rest assured, whether this happens or not, no third person will know what we said today!"

Yun Jie's special initiative to assure made Gao Ran unconsciously look up to him.

She began to feel that this Yun Jie seemed to be more reassuring to her than Yun Zhen—inexplicable......

"Well, though, I'd like to hear about you before I talk about mine. ”

"That's fine! Anyway, it's going to be said sooner or later......"

Although what Yun Jie wanted to say was not easy to say, after a night and a day of repeated thinking, in the end, he still felt that Gao Ran was his best choice!

Anyway, making such a decision was a risk in itself - and the stake was his own life!

However, there is no way back for him......

"You asked me before, since I know the third brother so well, then I should know very well what my third brother wants the most......"

"And, as I said, it's something I can't help but be curious about!"

Gao Ran specially repeated his position again, in order to "encourage" Yun Jie to continue with his own thoughts with confidence.

Because, she has a very strong premonition, since Yun Jie specially mentioned this matter, it must be that what he is going to say next is related to what she is curious about!

If you don't get it right, maybe what they want to talk about can really be negotiated - or even, they can take what they need!

Although Gao Ran was not very sure about this matter before talking to Yun Jie, but at this moment, she suddenly had an inexplicable premonition - she felt that there was a great possibility that she could negotiate this deal!

It's just that as for what price she needs to pay...... That's hard to say......

After getting Gao Ran's positive feedback, Yun Jie really let go a lot, and his words became more direct.

"I know very well that what my third brother wants most is this country! Originally, I didn't care. After all, it's ......better to be in the middle of the mountains and rivers than the rivers and mountains!

"Are you trying to say that this distress has forced you to face the problem you've been trying to escape?!"

When Yun Jie heard this, he looked at Gao Ran's eyes and didn't notice it, "Yes! After this escape, I have completely sobered up! There are some things that I can't escape if I don't want to! Even if I don't fight, my identity will make me have no choice to be involved...... Unless I take the initiative to fight back, sooner or later, I will fall victim to this power struggle!"

"Hmm...... In other words, now in addition to Yun Zhen, there are other relatives of the imperial family who are eyeing this throne?!"

Yun Jie's eyes widened unconsciously when he heard this.

He looked at Gao Ran thoughtfully for a while......

After a long silence, he finally spoke, and said tentatively, "You are very smart! However, being too smart sometimes, it is not necessarily a good thing......

"I know, but you should be able to empathize with it, right?! There are many things that can be avoided if you don't want to...... A lot of the time, I do it as a last resort...... However, the starting point of everything I do is only to better protect myself, not to deliberately want to hurt others......"

Gao Ran deliberately said this bluntly, in addition to showing Yun Jie that her attitude towards him now is very honest, more importantly, she is completely sure - as long as she says this, it will definitely cause Yun Jie's emotional resonance!

In fact, Yun Jie was indeed shaken by Gao Ran's words that he blurted out directly almost "without thinking".

He looked at Gao Ran's eyes and began to struggle a little......

At the same time, Gao Ran's eyes in response to him were incomparably calm and clear -- anyone who saw it would believe that her attitude was sincere! What she just said was definitely from the bottom line!

They looked at each other silently for a long time, and "competed" with each other with their eyes for a long time, and then Yun Jie whispered with a little expectation, "Can I trust you?!"

Gao Ran listened to it and didn't feel like he was laughing.

"No, you don't have to believe me! you just have to believe, as long as you can give me the benefits I want, I will definitely keep my promise and become your most reliable helper!"

"Oh, that is to say, the benefits you want are exactly what I can give you! Moreover, it happens to be something that no one else can give?!"

Hearing Yun Jie's question, Gao Ran's eyes when he looked at Yun Jie unconsciously added a little appreciation.

"Not bad! I didn't think you had a lot of insight! You noticed this so quickly?!"

"Heh, are you complimenting me?!or are you sarcastic about me?!"

Yun Jie looked away with some disdain, and continued with a slight mockery, "Although I don't know you very well yet, just rely on the negotiations between us in the past two days...... I have some idea of your abilities...... I believe that if I can give it to you, others can give it, then you will never be willing to talk to me like you are now!"

Bang Bang ......

Gao Ran couldn't help but applaud Yun Jie's keen insight and analytical ability.

"Awesome! Awesome! It seems that analyzing other people's personality traits is your strong point!

"You're wrong! It's not that he's inferior to me, it's that he's too confident and can't see anyone else in his eyes, so it's easy to ignore these details......"

"Well, you're right! This Yun Zhen is indeed too confident...... It's not good, it's just too conceited!

Speaking of this, Gao Ran suddenly became joking, and couldn't help but joke about Yun Jie, "However, such a comparison makes me feel that you are still quite 'self-aware'......!"

"Oh, thank you so much for the compliment. ”

To Gao Ran's surprise, Yun Jie accepted her evaluation of him very calmly without thinking about it - no sadness or joy, not even the slightest reaction to love.

His attitude, as if he had just heard, was just a boring gossip that had nothing to do with him!

Gao Ran could naturally imagine that he would have such a reaction, obviously, this was by no means the first time he had heard this kind of evaluation!

For similar evaluations, he has probably heard too much, and he has already heard numbness - he doesn't even bother to give the slightest reaction!

"It seems that you, the four princes, are not doing very well......"

As he spoke, Gao Ran suddenly patted Yun Jie's shoulder hard and encouraged, "However, in this way, you are more humane than the 'Three Princes' who are 'high'!

"Really?!"

When he said this, Yun Jie couldn't help but show a wicked smile that his plan had succeeded.

"Hmm. Gao Ran answered, but it was very quiet......

It's just because Yun Jie's evil smile just now, which only showed for a short moment, was completely seen by her!

Then, for no apparent reason, her heart trembled......

So, when she reflexively responded to Yun Jie, she was a little lacking in confidence......

In an instant, she suddenly had a bad premonition, always feeling as if she was on guard, but she still fell into the trap set by the other party - what's even worse is that she couldn't figure out what this "trap" was?! What is Yun Jie's real purpose?!
