Chapter 765: Full-level Boss Dressed As a Peasant Girl
Chapter 765: Startled Cheng Dong
"What does I think?" Cheng Dong's mind raced with many thoughts, but one thing was clear—he was currently bound.
If Young Master Meng truly belonged to the same faction as him, he wouldn't have tied him up.
Cheng Dong narrowed his eyes. "Does Young Master Meng know who I am?"
"I know, you're Gong Qiu's trusted subordinate."
"Gong..." He didn't even address his father with a proper title, instead directly calling him by his name, Gong Qiu.
And there was no trace of deference or respect in his tone; instead, it was filled with coldness and mockery.
Cheng Dong carefully examined Meng Yunzheng for a while before suddenly gritting his teeth and laughing. "Young Master, your current behavior is completely different from what I saw a few years ago. Back then, the Young Master was an honest and restrained person."
Meng Yunzheng chuckled. "Yes, otherwise, how could your good brother have been killed by Gong Qiu?"
Cheng Dong's expression changed abruptly. He knew exactly what Meng Yunzheng was referring to.
Meng Yunzheng's mother, Song Xin, had died at the hands of Cheng Dong's long-time partner. When that person had killed Song Xin, the initial plan was to burn her and Meng Yunzheng to death. But when Song Xin died, Meng Yunzheng survived.
However, his brain had been damaged in the fire, affecting his memory and learning abilities.
With Gong Qiu's limited heirs and his only son being weak and sickly, finally finding this smart and healthy child, it was supposed to be a happy occasion. But before he could be pleased, that inexplicable fire happened, turning everything into a joke.
Gong Qiu couldn't possibly not be angry with the heart that had set the fire.
Later, that trusted subordinate made a mistake and was directly dealt with by Gong Qiu, using it as an excuse.
As a long-time partner, Cheng Dong had requested to infiltrate prefect Xun's side four or five years ago.
At that time, Cheng Dong only felt that prefect Xun was somewhat heartless. But as a death warrior, if he couldn't complete the mission, death was the only path, so prefect Cheng's approach was not wrong.
But now, listening to Young Master Meng's words, it seemed that everything had been orchestrated by him.
He was seeking revenge for his mother.
Cheng Dong stared with disbelief at Meng Yunzheng. "So, all these years, you were pretending?"
"Isn't it strange? Weren't you pretending by prefect Cheng's side all these years too?"
"But you were only ten years old back then, and you were dealing with an adult." Cheng Dong's face was filled with disbelief.
He couldn't even imagine how a ten-year-old child, faced with an adult who had a deep mind, could restrain the pain of losing his mother, meticulously shaping himself into an ignorant child who didn't understand anything and even using the adult's hand to get rid of his trusted subordinate.
Cheng Dong suddenly found the person in front of him extremely terrifying. Wasn't he worthy of being Gong Qiu's son?
Meng Yunzheng raised an eyebrow, his expression flashing with disdain. "That can only mean you were all too foolish, fooled by a ten-year-old child."
"You..." Cheng Dong struggled for a moment, but he couldn't break free.
Shu Yu reminded him from the side, "Don't make any rash moves. The more you struggle, the tighter the bindings will become."
Upon hearing her voice, Cheng Dong suddenly remembered that she was the one who had captured him.
He looked at Shu Yu, then at Meng Yunzheng.
"You know each other, you're in cahoots? You..." Cheng Dong was getting confused due to excessive blood loss, and his mind was becoming sluggish.
After a while, he finally pieced things together. "Lu Shu Yu was intentionally banished here? She saved Master Qi on the way, was that intentional too? She befriended prefect Cheng without using Master Qi's influence. She... she belongs to you. What are you planning to do?"
