His face was covered in wrinkles. Those wrinkles were like marks left by time on his face. They were shocking. His hair was gray, and he looked much older than his actual age.
Chen Sheng paused. He originally only wanted to use Old General Cui’s pitiful story to force Cui Huai to admit his true identity. He did not expect Cui Huai to take off his disguise and reveal his face.
It was as if he was a hostage who had been kidnapped by the kidnappers. If he hadn’t seen the kidnappers’ real faces yet, as long as the kidnappers got the ransom, he could leave safely.
But it was different now.
He saw the kidnapper’s face. Then he was in the same boat as the kidnapper. The kidnapper either treated him as one of his own or would kill him directly.
Chen Sheng knew in his heart that he was in a very dangerous situation. He forced himself to calm down and pretended to be shocked as he looked at Cui Huai.
Cui Huai threw the mask on the desk and tapped his fingers on the table. He glanced at Chen Sheng and gestured for him to sit down.
Chen Sheng was stunned for a moment before sitting on the chair beside him.
When Cui Huai saw Chen Sheng like this, a smile flashed across his eyes, but he quickly regained his composure. He said in a low voice, "All these years, I’ve been living with a mask on. After wearing the mask for so long, everyone thinks that I’m Cui Huai, but I’m the only one who knows that I’m Cui Si, the Cui Si who was loyal to the country but was killed."
Cui Huai looked at Chen Sheng seriously. His eyes gradually darkened as he said, "Chen Sheng, you’re different from them."
"It’s not that I don’t trust you," Cui Huai said after some serious thought. "You’re different from the others. You’re too smart. I don’t dare to trust you completely."
Cui Huai had sharp eyes. He had seen many people, but this was the first time he had seen a mysterious person like Chen Sheng. He could not figure him out, and he was very vigilant against people he could not see through.
Chen Sheng knew very well what he needed to say after being deep in thought.
