Chapter 1702: Full-level Boss Dressed As a Peasant Girl
Chapter 1702: Telepathic Connection
Shu Yu nodded, "Yes, it's him. He's the one responsible for the injuries on Uncle Meng, I leave this person to your discretion."
Meng Pei took a deep breath, a fleeting ferocity crossing his expression.
He rubbed his neck and suddenly felt that the injuries on his body weren't hurting at all. Without turning his head, he said to Shu Yu, "Thank you. I have some questions for him."
He wanted to know what Jiang Kuanyu intention by capturing Meng Xiaoshu, and what deep-seated hatred had driven him to torture his younger brother into such a state.
After asking, he planned to repay him for his pain tenfold, a hundredfold.
Shu Yu took out a pill that Meng Yunzheng had given her earlier, passing it to Meng Pei. "This medicine is most suitable for extracting confessions. Uncle Meng, why don't you give him one?"
That way, there wouldn't be any surprises; Jiang Kuanyu was definitely going to die.
The bandit standing behind stepped back; this was a familiar formula. He had previously been under the control of poison, and now that fear resurfaced, it only made him more certain that surrendering wasn't a mistake.
After Meng Pei fed Jiang Kuanyu the pill, Shu Yu asked, "How's the situation outside?"
"The people who were chasing after me have been dealt with."
Jiang Kuanyu's eyes widened, and he tried to speak but found that he couldn't make a sound.
His face was filled with terror, and even if he wanted to beg for mercy, he couldn't manage it now.
However, Shu Yu pondered for a moment and didn't disturb Meng Pei any longer. Instead, she motioned for the bandit to come aside to talk. "How many people are left guarding the Black Market now?"
The bandit hesitated for a moment but honestly answered her.
Calculating in her mind, Shu Yu figured that there should be around thirty people left in the Black Market at the moment.
Once Ah Yun and Xia Yi dealt with Guo Laowu and the people under his command, the numbers would only decrease further.
For them, such a small number of people presented an excellent opportunity to seize control of the entire Black Market.
Seeing the excitement in her eyes, the bandit's heart trembled. He felt like she was about to cause some trouble.
Before he could ask, Shu Yu said to Meng Pei, "Uncle Meng, I'll leave this to you. I'm going to the prison cells to release the capable individuals inside. While those who went out haven't returned yet, we should take control of the Black Market."
Meng Pei agreed, "Be careful."
"Yes."
As Shu Yu was about to leave, Young Master He hesitated for a moment and quickly stepped forward, "I'll go with you."
Shu Yu glanced at him, and he hurriedly continued, "I've spent some time in the prison cells before. Putting aside the rest, the rich young men from Chenggu County in there are somewhat familiar with me. They'll trust me to some extent, and they might listen to what I have to say."
After all, compared to a stranger dressed as a bandit, they would probably trust someone they had spent more than ten days with. Moreover, his cousin was among them.
Shu Yu nodded, "Alright, let's go."
The bandit also wanted to follow, but after a moment's thought, he realized that it was safer to stay here. Thus, he quickly said, "I'll stay here and help Boss Meng."
Shu Yu thought, "..." She hadn't intended to take him along anyway.
Shu Yu and Young Master He left the room and saw that the surroundings were still in a mess, with quite a bit of blood on the ground.
The large hall ahead was empty, just as she had speculated earlier. The beast camp had caught the Black Market off guard, creating chaos.
Both of them cautiously made their way towards the prison cells. Halfway there, they suddenly noticed a shadow behind a pillar.
