The Ace Bigshot Becomes A Farmgirl

Shu Yu gave him a sideways glance, ”Where is this wealthy businessman from?”

Wei Tang was taken aback, ”Huajiang Prefecture.”

Shu Yu was slightly surprised, Huajiang Prefecture? The prefecture she had visited several times, which was quite developed due to its large harbor and convenient waterways?

She remembered three years ago when she brought Little Song Le home, taking a boat to Huajiang Prefecture and then transferring to a carriage.

Unexpectedly, at that time, it was the closest Little Song Le had been to his mother.

”When did Ms. Wei escape and disappear?”

Wei Tang obediently answered, ”Around mid-April last year.”

Shu Yu suddenly raised her head, ”Mid-April last year?” She was in Huajiang Prefecture at that time.

Back then, she was returning home from Changjin Prefecture, and while passing through Huajiang Prefecture, she encountered Daniu who was delivering goods. Daniu negotiated two deals at the harbor, and she even went to the harbor to buy a lot of ink, paper, and stationery, which led to Ying Dong accidentally seeing Deputy Head Escort Lin.

Because of this, they and Meng Pei became suspicious and investigated Deputy Head Escort, staying in Huajiang Prefecture for a few days.

They narrowly missed Ms. Wei several times?

Shu Yu rubbed her temples and asked Wei Tang for the name and address of the wealthy businessman who married Ms. Wei.

Wei Tang answered thoroughly, then furrowed his brow and asked, ”Aren’t you looking for my sister? My sister definitely isn’t in Huajiang Prefecture anymore, my brother-in-law is very familiar there with his money and connections, and he couldn’t find her after searching for over half a year. Let alone you. If you ask me, there are plenty of boats at the harbor on that side. My sister might have left by boat long ago.”

Shu Yu let out a faint snort and turned away.

Wei Tang was stunned and hurriedly shouted, ”Wait, you’re just leaving like that? What about my antidote?”

”What antidote? What you took isn’t poison at all, just an ordinary pill.”

”Wha-what?” Wei Tang was incredulous, ”But I clearly felt a burning sensation in my abdomen, exactly like the symptoms you described.”

Shu Yu didn’t look back, ”That’s because you’re cowardly; hearing it was poison made you so nervous it caused the symptoms. If you don’t believe me, go to a medical clinic and see. Or wait for an hour and see if you really bleed from seven orifices to death?”

Aunt Hong snorted with laughter upon hearing this. Serves him right, for acting like a scoundrel.

She spat in Wei Tang’s direction, ”Coward.”

Wei Tang finally came to his senses and immediately stood up angrily, ready to make a move against Shu Yu. But after a few steps, he felt the pain in his lower back and remembered her formidable kick, and instantly backed down.

Yet unwilling to give up, he could only stand there, shouting at her back, ”Who are you? Reveal your name so I can settle this score with you later.”

This time, Shu Yu stopped in her tracks. She stood at the alley entrance, slowly turned around, her gaze icy, and spoke each word clearly, ”I advise you not to target your sister and Gouwa again, or next time I’ll feed you real poison. Don’t worry, I won’t risk my life, but I’ll ensure you die quietly. Do you believe me?”

Wei Tang’s heart skipped a beat. He believed, of course he believed.

He hadn’t understood before, but after encountering that wealthy businessman, he fully realized how easily someone with money and power could kill them.

Wei Tang didn’t dare speak further, and ran out through another exit of the alley.

Only after he completely vanished did Aunt Hong ask worriedly, ”Lady Lu, Gouwa’s mother will be alright, right?”
