 Chapter 248: Shu Yu's Crisis of Faith

Shu Yu's disguise naturally piqued Meng Yunzheng's curiosity. He thought she must be going to meet someone, and subconsciously assumed it was the master of Dongqing Temple they were searching for. So he followed her, only to see Shu Yu squatting on the road that Jiang Manor must pass through, occasionally glancing in the direction of the manor. She stood up only when Jiang Li sneaked out through the back door, eagerly trailing after him. Meng Yunzheng understood then that she was going to deal with Jiang Li. He didn't know what mindset he had at that time, but he naturally stood at the entrance of the alley to keep watch, just in case. After hearing this, Shu Yu had a skeptical expression on her face as if she was questioning her own alertness. "Has my vigilance reached such a low level? I was practically followed all the way, and I didn't even notice. I must reflect deeply. Otherwise, if I engage in mischief next time, I'll be exposed too easily." Zhao Xi tried to console her, "You're already quite cautious. Look, even when you disguised yourself with a goatee, I didn't recognize you. Besides, you can't compare yourself to Meng Yunzheng. Despite his good looks, he can make people not pay attention to him if he wants to. Not just you or me, many people wouldn't be noticed if he wanted to follow them. Weinan once said that he's very suitable as a scout." Shu Yu felt slightly comforted by this. In any case, she still said to Meng Yunzheng, "Thank you again, and I hope you can keep this matter confidential." "Keeping it confidential is not a problem," Meng Yunzheng nodded. "But what exactly did Jiang Li do?" "Nothing much, just a playboy's delusional infatuation." Infatuation? Meng Yunzheng understood the implication without needing it to be explicitly stated. His brows furrowed slightly, and his expression turned slightly unfriendly. Zhao Xi even noticed his hand on the table slowly tightening, and his heart skipped a beat. He quickly turned his head and said to Shu Yu, "But injuring Jiang Li won't solve the problem, right? Once he recovers, he can still come after you." "That's why I didn't just injure him. I'll make sure to keep him down so he can't get up." "I can help you," Meng Yunzheng said. "No need, I've already thought of a plan to deal with him. I..." Shu Yu paused midway, suddenly lifted her head, took a quick glance at the two of them, shifted her gaze, and said, "But now that you both know, maybe I can modify the plan." The original plan was too time-consuming and laborious. Now, well, maybe she could reduce the steps and save time. Meng Yunzheng understood. "Do you need our help?" "Yes." Meng Yunzheng couldn't help but lean forward. "What?" However, Shu Yu slowly turned her head, looked at Zhao Xi, and smiled brightly with narrowed eyes. "Doctor Zhao?" Seeing her insincere smile, reminiscent of Meng Yunzheng's fake smile, Zhao Xi couldn't help but gulp and asked, "Wh-what's wrong?" "You have excellent medical skills, right?" Shu Yu asked with an eager look, full of anticipation. Zhao Xi nodded affirmatively, "Of course." "Do you have a medicine that, when consumed, makes a person exceptionally irritable? A kind of medicine that magnifies even the slightest emotion infinitely?" Shu Yu looked at him intently, her expression filled with hope. Zhao Xi couldn't help but take a step back and whispered, "I don't have it now, but I can prepare it immediately. Just give me a few hours." "No rush, take your time. It's enough if you can prepare it by tomorrow."
