The Ace Bigshot Becomes A Farmgirl

Chapter 1702: Chapter 1702: Kindred Spirits

Shu Yu nodded, ”It’s him. All the injuries on Uncle Meng were caused by him. Uncle Meng, I’ll leave him to you.”

Meng Pei took a deep breath, his face twisted with a fleeting ferocity.

He rubbed his neck, suddenly feeling that his injuries didn’t hurt at all. Without looking back, he said to Shu Yu, ”Thank you, I need to ask him something.”

He wanted to know why Jiang Kuanyu had captured Uncle Meng and what deep hatred he had that led him to torture his younger brother like this.

Once he got his answers, he planned to return the pain a hundredfold.

Shu Yu took out a pill that Meng Yunzheng had given her earlier and handed it to Meng Pei, ”This medicine is perfect for interrogation. Uncle Meng, give him one.”

This way, there would be no accidents; Jiang Kuanyu was surely going to die.

The mountain bandit standing behind them shrank back, the familiar concoction bringing back the terror of being controlled by poison, making him more certain that his decision to surrender was correct.

After Meng Pei forced the pill down Jiang Kuanyu’s throat, Shu Yu asked, ”How are things outside?”

”Those who chased me have all been dealt with.”

Jiang Kuanyu’s eyes widened, wanting to speak, but he found he couldn’t make a sound.

His face was full of terror, unable to even plead for mercy.

Shu Yu pondered for a moment, not disturbing Meng Pei, and took the mountain bandit aside to talk, ”How many are left guarding in the black market now?”

The mountain bandit hesitated but answered honestly.

Shu Yu silently calculated in her mind; it seemed there were about thirty people left in the black market now.

Once Yun and Xia Yi dealt with Fifth Guo and his men, the numbers would dwindle even further.

With so few remaining, it was a golden opportunity for them to seize the entire black market.

The mountain bandit saw the light in her eyes and his heart trembled violently, sensing she was about to cause trouble.

Before he could ask, Shu Yu said to Meng Pei, ”Uncle Meng, let’s leave this to you. I’ll head to the cells and release the capable people within, so we can take control of the black market before those who went out return.”

Meng Pei agreed, ”Be careful.”

”Okay.”

Shu Yu opened the door to leave, and Young Master He hesitated for a moment before stepping forward, ”I’ll go with you.”

Shu Yu looked at him, and he quickly added, ”I’ve been in the cells for a while. There’s a familiarity with the Chenggu County rich youths inside, and they will trust me. They will at least listen to what I say.”

After all, compared to a strange girl in mountain bandit attire, they would certainly trust someone who had shared the same hardships for more than ten days, especially with his cousin also inside.

Shu Yu nodded, ”Alright, let’s go.”

The mountain bandit wanted to follow, but thought outside might still be dangerous and decided to stay with Meng Pei, ”I’ll help Head Escort Meng here.”

Shu Yu, ”...” She hadn’t intended to bring him anyway.

As Shu Yu and Young Master He stepped out, they found the area still in chaos, with quite a bit of blood on the ground.

Moreover, the main hall ahead was empty, just as she had predicted; the chaos from the Beast Camp had caught the black market completely off guard.

The two cautiously made their way to the cells, and halfway there, a shadow suddenly emerged from behind a nearby pillar.
