Chapter 1470 - 1554: Stop Making Me Angry
Xiao Wu nodded and then looked at Shu Yu. Shu Yu put on a weak appearance, but there was no need to pretend. Having been bedridden with illness for over twenty years, this air of frailty had long seeped into his bones.
Even though his body had been nursed back to health by his wife in recent years, playing the part of an invalid was as easy as pie for him.
"Cough cough cough..." To avoid arousing suspicion, he didn’t speak but instead covered his face and coughed, coughing so violently that it tugged at the heartstrings of those who heard it.
"Xiao Qi, if you’re not feeling well, you should rest today. As for the young master’s side, we can speak on your behalf."
Shu Yu slowly waved his hand, "No need, business takes priority."
"Fine then! But the young master once said he saw that woman by the City-Guarding River during the Lantern Festival in the Capital, along with the three men we have been impersonating. It seems like one of them should be that woman’s husband. These past few days we’ve been moving around the city frequently, yet why hasn’t that woman taken the bait?" "Perhaps she’s unaware? She must be hiding and afraid to show herself, with no reliable news, so she’s ignorant of these matters."
"That’s possible!"
Silently following behind the other two, Shu Yu watched as the three of them left the inn and then parted ways, each heading in a different direction.
Shu Yu raised an eyebrow, the corner of his mouth curling into a cold, sardonic smile. Yet deep down, there was some suspicion.
Huiying is here?
He wondered about that woman earlier and the two men later. Who was this ’young master’ they mentioned and why use such tactics against Huiying?
Strolling through the streets, Shu Yu’s face was too captivating.
He disliked wearing a straw hat, finding it cumbersome.
As night fell, he slowly returned to the inn. Seeing that the other two had not yet returned, he entered his own room.
The real Xiao Qi was tied up hand and foot, blindfolded and gagged, hidden under the bed.
Xiao Qi had been conscious for a while, but unable to move, he had experienced the helpless feeling of being paralyzed, like Dong Huiying days ago.
Shu Yu pulled Xiao Qi out from under the bed and then opened the window. Holding Xiao Qi by the collar with one hand, he moved like a phantom. Passersby only felt a breeze sweep past, without catching even a glimpse of the two of them.
He found a relatively safe place, where few people were around, a narrow alley.
With an indifferent expression, he threw Xiao Qi to the ground.
Xiao Qi couldn’t speak, but upon seeing the man’s face, he knew trouble was looming.
"Speak, who are you people, and where is my wife?"
Xiao Qi glared at him, as Shu Yu frowned.
"I almost forgot, it’s not unsealing the acupuncture point yet."
Slowly bending down, he tore away the rag from Xiao Qi’s mouth, frowning with disgust due to his cleanliness obsession, and then released the dumb acupuncture point on Xiao Qi.
"Speak!"
Xiao Qi’s eyes flashed, intending to call for help.
Even though there were few people here, any commotion during such critical times would surely alert Ah Lian Xiao Wu and the young master, at least serving as a warning.
However, before Xiao Qi could open his mouth, Shu Yu’s expression turned stern.
With a sudden knee strike, he shattered several ribs in Xiao Qi’s chest, while his long, jade-like fingers swiftly locked around Xiao Qi’s throat, trapping his cries and screams of pain before they could escape.
With a frosty look, Shu Yu said, "Don’t make me more displeased because I’m already very unhappy now, so it’s best not to test the limits of my patience!!"
Even an idiot should have realized after today’s events that this matter is connected to his wife.
Isn’t Huiying supposed to be in the Capital? Why come here, and why have these people disguised themselves as their brothers? Are they using themselves as bait to draw Huiying out?
