Chapter 1680 Suspecting Meng Pei was behind it
Holding the clothes, Xia Yi returned to Uncle Meng's side. "Chief Meng, I'm sorry to offend you, I need to give you some new clothes."
Uncle Meng had recovered, but he was a little worried. "There are too many people outside... young lady... you are in too much danger."
"The situation outside is in complete chaos, which is the perfect opportunity for us to escape. Don't worry, Chief Escort Meng, leave everything to me."
Uncle Meng gritted his teeth. There was nothing he could do at this point but to listen to her and try not to hold her back.
Thank you.
You're too kind.
Xia Yi originally wanted to take off his blood-stained clothes, but in some places the fabric was stuck to the wound, and the wound was scabbed over. If she pulled them off, it would not only cause the wound to reopen, but also make it difficult to stop the bleeding.
Xia Yi could only wrap the guard's clothes directly over Meng Xiaoshu's clothes, but Meng Xiaoshu was burly and the guard was rather short, so the clothes were a bit tight.
But there's nothing we can do about it now; we can't worry about that anymore.
After quickly getting dressed, Xia Yi helped Uncle Meng to his feet. "Let's go. Try to lean on me. I can support you. Don't think about anything else. You just need to stay clear-headed right now."
Uncle Meng paused for a moment, then nodded and said, "Okay."
He leaned against Xia Yi and was relieved to see that she could walk without any problems while being supported by her.
The two left the storeroom, locked the door again, and took the key with them.
Uncle Meng hadn't noticed anything while he was inside, but as soon as he came out, the overwhelming smell of blood and screams startled him. When he opened his eyes, he saw this horrifying scene in front of him.
"What...what...is going on?"
Xia Yi had no idea, but she guessed it might be related to Meng Yunzheng. However, she felt that given his personality, he wouldn't cause such a commotion.
What Xia Yi didn't know was that Meng Yunzheng was also somewhat bewildered when he saw these ferocious beasts come out.
He and Shu Yu were following the bandits, preparing for a thorough search. They had just finished checking one place when they heard some vibrations coming from the neighboring wild animal camp. Then, a wolf howled and ran out.
The bandits were standing not far away, facing the wolf that was running towards them, and they were so frightened that they were dumbfounded.
Seeing the wolf pounce, Meng Yunzheng quickly pulled him into the room next door, closed the door, and blocked the wolf's attack.
The wolf was probably stunned by the impact, but when more people came in, it left.
The bandit's body was stiff, and the screams that came from outside from time to time made him feel cold.
Meng Yunzheng and Shu Yu reacted quickly. They didn't believe it was an accident that the beasts had escaped. The bandits had said they kept the animals in individual cages to prevent them from killing each other. Even if there had been an accident, it was impossible for so many beasts to have been released unintentionally.
"Is it Uncle Meng?" Shu Yu guessed.
Meng Yunzheng's eyes lit up slightly. "It should be." Besides looking for Uncle Meng, they also wanted to find Meng Pei.
His father arrived earlier than them, but they didn't know where he was.
There can't be too many insiders in this black market, right? Besides them and Xia Yi, the most likely candidate is probably Meng Pei.
"Let's go to the Wild Beast Camp."
The two made a quick decision: first, they would go and see if the other person was Meng Pei. If it was him, they would meet up with him first, and then look for their uncle.
Hearing the roars of wild beasts outside had faded into the distance, the two immediately opened the door and prepared to go out.
