The Ace Bigshot Becomes A Farmgirl

Capítulo 1701: Chapter 1701: Two Sets of Sleeve Arrows

Young Master He, with quick eyes and hands, cautiously moved Uncle Meng to a corner to prevent him from getting caught up in the commotion.

Shu Yu already found a sturdy rope and tied up Jiang Kuanyu’s hands and feet. Only then did the mountain bandit shift his body off him, exhaling slowly.

He then looked at Shu Yu’s wrist as she picked up the wristbow she had dropped earlier and fastened it back on her right wrist. The mountain bandit shrank back slightly, not expecting her to have two wristbows—truly a sign of wealth.

Fortunately, he had surrendered early on; otherwise, he’d be just like the man on the ground, without a breath left.

Jiang Kuanyu lay on the ground, moving his hands and feet fiercely, glaring at them angrily.

Shu Yu squatted in front of him and smiled, “Young Master Jiang, it’s truly unexpected to meet again under such circumstances.”

“I didn’t expect that Monarch Lu Xiang would abandon her role as village chief to get involved in these matters. Do you know where this is? Do you realize the magnitude of what you’re involved in? If you release me now, perhaps you can still peacefully remain as village chief in the future. Otherwise, you might not even be able to protect your family.”

In a sudden motion, Shu Yu slapped his head with a “bang,” causing Jiang Kuanyu, who was already lying on the ground, to hit his head heavily against the floor. His nose stung painfully, and nosebleed gushed out instantly.

Young Master He and the mountain bandit watching from the side both gasped sharply, feeling the pain just from looking.

Shu Yu spoke coldly, “I despise people threatening me with my family the most. I know much better than you the magnitude of what I’m involved in. You better think about yourself; how long has it been since your family contacted you? Hmm?”

Jiang Kuanyu was taken aback, “What do you mean?”

“Nothing much, just incidentally telling you some unfortunate news. Young Master Tan is not dead. In fact, if you hadn’t given him slow-acting poison, he might not have noticed the anomalies in the black market by now. You did, and we happened to run into it. Wouldn’t you say you’re unlucky? Not only was he rescued, but we also discovered your carefully hidden identity as a result.”

Once Jiang Kuanyu’s identity was exposed, Meng Yunzheng had already sent word back to the capital.

Shu Yu and Meng Yunzheng naturally wouldn’t harm the Jiang family, but whether the Emperor would take action was uncertain. However, it’s highly likely he would approach the Jiang family, especially given Mother Jiang and her family’s reaction when Jiang Kuanyu fell off the cliff, suggesting they knew quite a bit of insider information.

Jiang Kuanyu’s expression changed several times, his eyes turning red, “What did you do?! What did you do?”

He looked disheveled, with his nosebleed covering the entire lower half of his face.

Indeed, he realized it had been a long time since he had news from his family. It was just that recently the black market had been too busy, with the master planning major moves. Both he and others had contacted their families less, even temporarily cutting off communication.

Though he hadn’t cut off contact completely, he had been focused entirely on gaining credit early on, hoping to secure a good position in the future.

Thinking about it now, it indeed seemed abnormal.

Shu Yu, finding his appearance somewhat distasteful, stood up and stepped back a few steps. At this moment, a light knock came from the door.

Following it closely was a voice with a hint of panting, “Yu?”

Shu Yu hurriedly opened the door, “Uncle Meng, come in quickly.”

As soon as Meng Pei entered the room, he saw the two people lying on the ground. The one still alive was writhing continuously, and his face instantly darkened, “Is this Jiang Kuanyu?”
