Chapter 1663: Meng Yunzheng's Methods
Not only was the pain intense, but his body also couldn't move, and his voice couldn't be uttered. It was as if a burst of pain was trapped within his body, unable to be released, and there was no way to divert his attention.
Yuangui and Meng Qi looked at him, puzzled by his reaction. Aside from the painful expression on his face, he seemed to have no other response.
Wait, large beads of sweat were rolling down his forehead, veins pro...

Chapter 1662: Yeah, it's really unfortunate.
Meng Yunzheng and a few others waited in the bushes outside for a moment, but there was no sound from inside.
Only then did he stand up, walk to the window, glanced inside to make sure there was no one, nodded to the others, and they silently entered the room.
The things in this room were relatively tidy, except for a thick layer of dust and some cobwebs, most of the places were unchanged, and even the chairs were neatly arrang...

Chapter 1661: Yuangui Saw It
The sound of the brawl at the escort agency naturally attracted others, with the patrolling soldiers arriving first.
Yuangui was hiding in a corner, hearing the soldiers mention that the person being attacked by the bandits and injured was the head of the Meng Family Escort Agency. The head of the Meng family and the bandits kept fighting and soon moved away from the agency.
The soldiers chased after them, and Yuangui hesitated for a moment be...

Chapter 1660: He Was There at That Time
Shu Yu understood that Yuangui had no attachments in Dong'an Prefecture, but he ended up having someone to take care of here.
"So, how did you end up appearing in Chenggu County again?" Shu Yu asked.
Yuangui sighed lightly, "It was just a coincidence. Some time ago, the old woman tripped and injured her leg and waist. The local doctor was not available, and I heard that there was a skilled doctor in Chenggu County who was good at tr...

Chapter 1659: The Lone Old Woman
Yuangui didn't know how long he had been adrift, but when he woke up, he saw an old woman trying to pull the bamboo raft ashore. There was a large rock blocking the front of the raft, giving the old woman some time to figure out how to get it ashore.
"The old woman was quite old, but fortunately, she still had some strength left. It was just getting slightly bright, and there were not many people nearby. The old woman couldn't find anyone, so she...

Both Shu Yu and Meng Yunzheng were astonished. They listened as Yuanqui smiled bitterly and said, "When we both fell, I was holding onto him. So when they pulled him into the protruding hole, I was almost pulled in too. At that moment, Jiang Kuangyu glanced at me and tried to kick me off."
Helpless, Yuangui clung tightly to him, resisting the pull from the two people at the entrance of the hole who wer...

Yuangui stared at Shu Yu in disbelief.
"They actually..."
After a moment's thought, he realized it wasn't surprising. As an orphan with no relatives, he had been bullied by the other escorts when he first joined the Jianghe Escort Bureau. The head of the bureau never stood up for him.
It seemed to be their way of doing things.
Yuangui took a deep breath and regained his composure. "How did Lu Xiangjun know about me?"...

"Phew," the arrow flew, this time directed at the man's neck, and he fell with a muffled cry.
The remaining two were stunned, turning back in shock, but one of them was taken down by Meng Yunzheng.
The other one confronted Meng Qi briefly, but witnessing his companion's death, he decided ...

Surprised, Meng Qi asked, "Brother, weren't we supposed to find someone? This is the direction of the county office."

Meng Qi asked in a low voice, "Cousin, what did you talk to that vendor about just now?"

Because of this, Meng Qi felt a chill creeping through his body.
At such a critical moment, if even the government cannot be trusted, what else can be believed?
