Chapter 768: Full-level Boss Dressed As a Peasant Girl
Chapter 768: Finally Seeking His Help
Qi Chan was taken aback but also delighted when he heard that Shu Yu had come to him for help. It seemed that she had indeed encountered some difficulties.
He couldn't help but feel relieved when he heard that she had come to ask him for something. He hadn't even had time to consider whether she had encountered any serious problems; he immediately spoke up, "Whatever you need help with, I will definitely help."
Shu Yu pursed her lips and glanced around.
Seeing her expression, Qi Chan understood that she wanted to talk to him privately, so he waved his hand, instructing everyone to step back.
However, there were still guards from the Qi family watching in the shadows.
Shu Yu pretended not to notice and waited until everyone had left. Then she whispered, "Today, when I went out of the city to the post station to find Aunt Hou, I encountered one of the guards from the prefect magistrate's side."
As soon as Qi Chan heard this, his expression changed drastically. He anxiously asked, "Which guard? What's his name?"
"Cheng Dong."
Indeed, it was him!
Qi Chan's expression turned serious. "You encountered him? You..."
He wanted to ask if Cheng Dong had harmed her. At a time like this, when he was at the end of his rope, he was more likely to do something harmful to others.
But seeing that Shu Yu was unharmed, Qi Chan breathed a sigh of relief. He was about to ask where Cheng Dong was now when he heard Shu Yu continue, "Yes, I encountered him. He was covered in blood and suddenly rushed out, trying to steal my cart. I recognized him and thought he had encountered assassins. I also thought that maybe you were in danger."
"I didn't expect him to say that there was a spy by your side and that he had exposed the spy's plot, resulting in him being chased like this. I thought it was a big deal, so I suggested bringing him to see you. But Cheng Dong, disagreed. He said that someone was watching you, and if he found you, your life would be in danger. The most urgent thing was to request outside help, so he asked me to bring him to the post station."
"I was in a state of panic and took him there. But when he arrived at the post station, he didn't ask to see a doctor or let others see him. Instead, he asked me to deliver a letter and help him leave Linzhang Prefecture. The more I thought about it, the more suspicious I became. Why did he want me to deliver the letter to the Hetai Residence? It would be much simpler to deliver it to you directly. I thought something was wrong, so... I knocked him unconscious. I thought it would be easier to bring him to see you privately, right?"
Shu Yu was extremely uneasy. "Master Qi, I hope I didn't do anything wrong. I don't know if my actions will hinder your and prefect Cheng's important matters. I... I..."
She became more and more flustered with her words, while Qi Chan wore a look of shock on his face.
Cheng Dong was in her hands and she had knocked him unconscious?
He didn't say a word, so Shu Yu had to continue pretending to be in a state of panic and confusion.
After regaining his senses, Qi Chan hurriedly waved his hand. "You did nothing wrong, quite the opposite. You did very well, incredibly well."
He took a deep breath and pointed to the cart in front of him. "So, he's inside now?"
Shu Yu nodded vigorously.
Qi Chan smiled. "Let's go, let's get him out."
Shu Yu breathed a sigh of relief and quickly climbed onto the cart.
This time, the seat of the cart wasn't fixed as securely, so she easily dismantled it. She then struggled to drag Cheng Dong out. Once he was out, Shu Yu pointed at him and said, "I was afraid he would wake up and harm someone, so I tied him tightly. But..."
Shu Yu stopped midway through her sentence, looking surprised. She stammered, "He, he's bleeding from his mouth."
