Chapter 760: Full-level Boss Dressed As a Peasant Girl
Chapter 760: Shu Yu Departs
For Shu Yu, leaving the exile and restoring her good reputation was the most crucial thing at the moment.
Cheng Dong believed that Shu Yu was a clever person and wouldn't want to miss this opportunity.
Indeed, Shu Yu took a deep breath, nervously reached out to accept the letter, and asked uncertainly, "If I deliver this letter to Hetai Mansion, will I be able to leave this place?"
"Of course," Cheng Dong replied.
Shu Yu seemed to have made a big decision and nodded. "Alright, I'll deliver it."
"Also," Cheng Dong continued, "I know you're acquainted with Huifeng Escort Agency. When you return, find out if they have any escorts leaving the city and try to blend me in with their cargo. That way, I can leave Linzhang Prefecture. You're a clever person, Shu Yu, I believe you can make it happen."
"Where are you going after leaving Linzhang Prefecture?"
"That's something you don't need to know. Cheng Daren has entrusted me with a secret mission, and you don't need to inquire about it."
Shu Yu inwardly snorted. Well, well, you know about leaving the city separately, huh?
In this way, either the person or the letter will be delivered. The message will reach the intended person, right?
However, after hesitating for a moment, she still agreed. "This is a bit difficult. I need to plan carefully."
She confirmed again, "If I succeed, can I be sure that I can leave Zhengdao Village?"
"Yes," Cheng Dong nodded affirmatively. She could indeed leave, but whether as a living or dead person, he wasn't sure.
With his assurance, Shu Yu securely stored the letter and her eyes sparkled with hope.
"Should I go now? Are you really okay with your injuries?"
"Now is better. The sooner, the better," Cheng Dong urged Shu Yu to leave after explaining the specifics of delivering the letter.
Shu Yu had no objections. "Alright, I'll leave immediately. Take good care of yourself. If you need anything, find Hou Shi."
"Thank you."
Shu Yu left and went to the backyard to fetch the mule cart, then headed out of the door.
Once Cheng Dong regained some strength, he quietly followed her, watching her bid farewell to Hou Shi before departing.
As he watched the cart move further away, Cheng Dong returned to the room.
But instead of entering, he found a corner in the nearby shed and sat down, his gaze fixed tightly on the outside through the window.
Not long after, Hou Shi arrived with a tray in hand.
She knocked on the door of Cheng Dong's room, but there was no response. She knocked for a long time before whispering, "Master? Master, are you there? Ah Yu asked me to prepare some food for you before she left. I brought it for you. Master? Why is there no sound? Could you have fainted?"
Hou Shi knocked the door twice more, growing worried, and then pushed it open.
There was no one inside. Hou Shi placed the tray on the table and searched inside and outside the room but found no trace of him.
When she realized he was nowhere to be found, panic crossed her face. She stood at the doorway, looking left and right. "How did he disappear? How am I going to explain this to Ah Yu?"
Then she ran outside to find her daughter and began a secret search for Cheng Dong.
After Hou Shi left, Cheng Dong emerged from the shed.
He returned to the room and looked at the bowl of noodles on the table. He leaned in to smell it and then tested it for poison. Satisfied that it was safe, he sat down, cautious and quiet, and began to eat the noodles with chopsticks.
