The Ace Bigshot Becomes A Farmgirl

Chapter 766: Chapter 766: Forced to Take Poison and Commit Suicide Chapter 766: Chapter 766: Forced to Take Poison and Commit Suicide Shu Yu raised her hand, “Stop, stop, stop, don’t jump to wild conclusions; it’s not that complicated. I’m truly miserable, truly dragged over here unwittingly and banished, I had no intention of coming here to suffer on purpose.”

Zhao Xi couldn’t help but snicker, suddenly feeling a bit of sympathy for Shu Yu.

Cheng Dong turned his head and saw another man coming out of the room on the right.

He didn’t recognize this person, but seeing that the Eldest Young Master didn’t avoid them while going about his business, it seemed their relationship must be very good.

Cheng Dong pursed his lips, he still had one last question, “Was it you who revealed my identity to Lord Cheng?”

“Yes.” Meng Yunzheng felt he should let him die with his eyes open, as his own good brother had died unclearly which was quite pitiful. “I thought Lord Cheng would deal with you, but I didn’t expect you would escape.”

“Humph.” Cheng Dong scoffed, “In the end, didn’t I still end up in your hands?”

He looked at Shu Yu, “I didn’t expect to be brought down by you either.”

Shu Yu hadn’t expected it either, “But you have to believe, this really was an accident. I was just going out of the city to visit an old friend, why did you have to stop my mule carriage? If it wasn’t me you had stopped, maybe you really could’ve escaped.”

Cheng Dong closed his eyes, indeed, he had been careless.

With his doubts resolved, Cheng Dong didn’t plan on entangling with them further. He sneered and asked Meng Yunzheng, “So now what? You’ve captured me, are you wanting to know something from me? Do you think I’ll talk?”

He had already discovered that the poison hidden in his mouth was taken away, but it didn’t matter, no matter how he was tortured, he wouldn’t speak.

Seeing Cheng Dong’s resigned demeanor, Meng Yunzheng couldn’t resist asking Shu Yu, “Do you have any questions for him?”

“I don’t, do you?”

Meng Yunzheng thought for a moment, “The only thing I want to know is the content of that letter, but I guess he won’t tell, and even if he did, it might not be true. As for the rest, having stayed in this banished place for many years, he might not know as much as I do, so it’s fine not to ask.”

Cheng Dong suddenly opened his eyes, looking at him in disbelief.

Shu Yu nodded, “Makes sense.”

Zhao Xi looked left and right, a head full of question marks, “If there’s nothing you want to ask, then why did you bring him back?”

Shu Yu thought for a moment, “I originally planned to send him directly to Mister Qi, but then I thought he was after all an old acquaintance of yours, and seeing him again would probably make you happy, right?”

Meng Yunzheng nodded, “Indeed, I’m in quite a good mood.”

Shu Yu knew it. Meng Yunzheng detested Gong Qiu so much, seeing Gong Qiu’s henchman suffer and be dealt a heavy blow would definitely cheer him up.

That was the true intention of her gift, after all.

Shu Yu felt relieved and seeing that it was getting late, clapped her hands and said, “Shall I send him to Mister Qi now?”

“Okay.”

From beginning to end, Cheng Dong was utterly baffled and couldn’t fathom what the two were thinking.

He had been prepared for severe torture and questioning, yet they didn’t seem to intend to ask him anything?

What was going on?

Shu Yu pulled a handkerchief out of her sleeve and handed it to Meng Yunzheng, “This is the poison we found in his mouth.”

Meng Yunzheng looked at it with distaste, then approached Cheng Dong with the handkerchief.

The latter’s eyes widened, “What are you trying to do?”

“Since you kept the poison in your mouth, probably to avoid betraying your master and to commit suicide at a critical moment, now, I’ll facilitate that for you.”
