Chapter 1711: Full-level Boss Dressed As a Peasant Girl
Chapter 1711: Finding the Armory
With sufficient manpower now, Shu Yu was relieved from the subsequent tasks.
Therefore, she returned to the room where Meng Pei was. As soon as she entered, she saw Jiang Kuangyu lying on the ground with his eyes rolled back.
She blinked in surprise. "Is he dead?"
Meng Pei nodded, sitting next to Meng Xiaoshu. His gaze at the latter was rather complex, and he seemed a bit worse for wear.
Shu Yu was puzzled by his appearance. What on earth had Meng Pei managed to extract from Jiang Kuangyu? Why did he seem like this?
She was about to ask, but she decided against it. Instead, she handed over the food and drinks she had brought. "Uncle Meng, I went to the kitchen and got some food and drinks. You haven't eaten properly these past two days. Have something to fill your stomach for now."
The cakes and pastries she brought were soft and easy to digest, and they looked appetizing.
Meng Pei's stomach was so hungry that he hadn't noticed it, surviving solely on his determination to rescue Meng Xiaoshu.
Seeing the pastries in Shu Yu's hands, he rubbed his stomach and finally smiled. "You're always so considerate."
bandit by the side gulped involuntarily, realizing he hadn't eaten for a whole day.
Shu Yu had brought a good amount, and seeing his reaction, she twitched her lips and handed him some.
The bandit's eyes lit up, and he quickly devoured the food.
Shu Yu then squatted down, reaching out to feel Meng Xiaoshu's forehead and found that his temperature had returned to normal. "Uncle seems to be doing much better."
"Old Zhao's medicine is always top-notch. The effect is strong, but it works quickly." Meng Pei swallowed the pastry in one go. "And you? What's the situation outside? I heard a lot of commotion just now."
Shu Yu briefly explained the situation to him, and Meng Pei smiled after hearing it. "It seems that we'll be able to leave soon."
Shu Yu was about to reply when she noticed the bandit choking on the pastry, clutching his throat as he coughed violently.
Shu Yu, looking a bit startled, seemed as if he had been frightened.
The bandit finally finished coughing, his face red from the effort. He hesitantly said, "Um, Lord Lu, I'm not part of their group. Later, when you talk to the others, please make it clear that I'm on your side."
"Look at how scared you are." Meng Pei scorned him with disdain.
The bandit was on the verge of tears. During Meng Pei's interrogation of Jiang Kuangyu, he was present the whole time, even when the others weren't. He had seen Jiang Kuanyu's usually charismatic and elegant demeanor turn horrifyingly twisted after taking the medicine. And not just that, after Meng Pei finished questioning him, he continued torturing him, almost half to death, all for the sake of avenging his brother.
In that moment, the bandit truly wished he had gone with Shu Yu and Young Master He to the cells to release the captives. His heart almost felt like it would burst here.
These people were truly ruthless.
As the bandit worried about his bleak future, knocking on the door could be heard from outside.
He jumped up with a start, quickly hurrying to the door and asking, "Who's there?"
"Meng Yunzheng."
The bandit heaved a sigh of relief. It was someone coming to release them.
As Meng Yunzheng entered, he first went to check on Meng Xiaoshu. Satisfied that he was alright, he turned to Shu Yu and Meng Pei. "We've located everyone, but we're not sure if we've found everyone. That's why I'm having him identify them."
He nodded towards the bandit.
The bandit swallowed nervously, realizing that the time for him to contribute had come. He was about to declare his determination, but Meng Yunzheng didn't even look at him. Instead, he turned to Shu Yu and said, "We've also found the armory."
