Chapter 1679 Finding Uncle Meng

Xia Yi decided not to wait any longer, immediately turned her gaze away, and ran towards the address Qiao Rou had given her.

Qiao Rou said that the people Jiang Kuanyu brought back two days ago were locked in the leftmost warehouse.

She didn't understand why people were locked in the warehouse, but as long as they were alive, that was fine.

Xia Yi ran quickly, reaching the warehouse entrance in no time. A guard was standing at the door; seeing her approach, he instantly drew a knife from his waist and pointed it at her. "Who goes there?"

Xia Yi looked terrified, and tears streamed down her face as soon as she saw her. "It was so scary, big brother, so scary."

The guard frowned. "What is that?"

"Over there, the beasts have come out. I don't know what's going on, but those wild animals are eating people and they're coming this way. Brother, help me!"

Xia Yi ran to the side as she spoke. The guard frowned; he had indeed heard screams and cries coming from afar. Hearing that it was a wild animal running out, he couldn't help but walk forward.

He turned his back to Xia Yi as he left. The latter narrowed her eyes and ran towards him. Just as the guard was shocked by the horrific scene outside, she suddenly bumped into him and pushed him against the wall in front of her.

"Ugh..." The guard cried out in pain, and before he could react, he heard Xia Yi's terrified voice again, "It's coming! There's a wolf over there! Help!"

The guard was about to turn his head when he felt his head being pressed down by two hands, twisted violently, and he died on the spot.

Seeing this, Xia Yi let out a breath and stood up.

Fortunately, this area is relatively secluded; no wild animals came, and no one came running over.

She pulled a key from the guard, quickly opened the door, dragged the guard inside, and locked it behind her.

Turning around, he saw Uncle Meng, who was tied to a pillar, covered in blood and on the verge of death.

Xia Yi tensed up for a moment, then stepped forward and checked his neck. Thankfully, his pulse was still beating; he was still alive.

She breathed a sigh of relief, quickly untied the person and placed them on the ground, then pinched his philtrum to wake him up.

"Chief镖师 Meng?"

Uncle Meng opened his swollen eyes, his eyelashes smeared with blood. Xia Yi wiped them clean for him, her voice extremely low, "Chief镖师 Meng, are you alright? Can you leave with me?"

Uncle Meng only felt a blurry figure moving in front of him, the voice was somewhat distant, yet seemed to be right next to him.

What made him feel unreal was that the person calling him seemed to be a girl.

He opened his mouth, his throat aching terribly, his voice hoarse, "You, you are..."

"It was Young Master Meng Yunzheng who sent me here. I'll take you out now. You'll need to exert a little effort in a bit, as I'll have to support you to avoid arousing suspicion from outsiders."

Xia Yi is strong and capable of carrying Uncle Meng on her back. However, in the black market, she is a weak and frail girl with no strength. If she were to carry a large man on her back and walk briskly, people would definitely think something was wrong with her.

So she could only wake Uncle Meng up. As long as his feet were on the ground, his weight would be on her and there wouldn't be any problem.

Uncle Meng was also a little slow to react, and it took him a while to realize what Xia Yi had said.

He paused, then asked incredulously, "Yunzheng?? It was...Yunzheng...who sent you here?"

“No, he and Lu Xiangjun are both outside. We just don’t know where you’re being held, so we have to split up. I’ll take you out now.”

Xia Yi turned around, flipped the guard she had just dragged in over, and stripped all his clothes off.
