Chapter 1741: Full-level Boss Dressed As a Peasant Girl
Chapter 1741: The Peaceful Meng Family Escort Agency
Therefore, Shu Yu didn't refuse and nodded, "Alright, I'll head to the escort agency first. You finish up your work and come back early. We'll switch shifts."
"Mhm."
Meng Yunzheng still had many tasks left undone. The aftermath work wasn't easy at all; he had a lot to do.
Shu Yu yawned and then left with Ying Xi.
The streets at night were unusually noisy, especially in the direction of the city gate. It was still bustling and clamorous.
Compared to the city gate area, the Meng Family Escort Agency was much quieter.
However, as soon as she entered, Shu Yu noticed that no one was resting. On such a tense and dangerous night, no one could relax enough to sleep. However, everyone had come out of the secret room and was resting in the rooms.
But there was still worry in the air, so people were crowded together in groups of two or three in each room.
Uncle Gao remained at the escort agency. When he saw Shu Yu, he approached her and asked about the situation in a hushed voice.
Shu Yu gave a rough overview, and Uncle Gao sighed deeply upon hearing that the county magistrate had been captured.
Seeing Shu Yu looking exhausted, he hurriedly told her to rest.
Shu Yu nodded, didn't bother seeing the others, and went to the guest room prepared for her to sleep.
However, perhaps due to her previous irregular schedule or the lingering thoughts in her mind, she woke up shortly after dawn.
At this hour, the sky was still dark. Shu Yu sat on the bed, calming her mind for a while.
A night's rest did improve her spirits quite a bit.
Unable to stay in the room, Shu Yu put on her clothes and went out. Ying Xi was sleeping in the adjacent room and woke up upon hearing the movement.
"Miss, you're awake."
Upon leaving the room, faint sounds filled her ears as the staff at the escort agency began to get busy.
Upon seeing Shu Yu, they greeted her, "Good morning, Miss Lu Xiangjun."
Shu Yu nodded and approached one of them, asking, "Has everyone returned? What about Ah Yun?"
The staff member replied, "Everyone else has returned. The eldest young master came back an hour ago and is resting in the neighboring room."
Shu Yu glanced towards the adjacent room. An hour ago, he returned, which meant he had been busy the entire night.
She nodded and turned to Ying Xi, saying, "Let's go, we'll head out to the street and take a look."
The two of them walked slowly along the corridor. At this moment, except for the night guards, most of the others were still resting. It seemed to be a rare moment of peace and tranquility.
So Shu Yu walked lightly, trying not to disturb anyone.
Unexpectedly, when they were about to reach the end of the corridor, they heard an argument from a nearby room. Despite the lowered voices, it stood out in the overly serene atmosphere, instantly capturing their attention.
Shu Yu initially didn't intend to eavesdrop, though she was a bit curious. But she didn't want to join the commotion at this time.
However, to her surprise, she heard her and Meng Yunzheng's names amid the argument. Moreover, the voices of the two arguing sounded very familiar.
It was as if... Meng Han and Tao Shi?
Shu Yu's steps faltered. She turned her head to look towards the direction of the room.
The argument inside continued, with Tao Shi's voice sounding somewhat distressed, "Ah Han, why aren't you saying anything? Your uncle and your cousin and even Lu Shu Yu have all returned. Why hasn't your father come back? Weren't those bandits all captured? Then where is your father? Where is he?"
Meng Han seemed frustrated, "I don't know, Mother. Asking me won't help. I truly don't know where my father is."
