Chapter 1682 A Strange Smile

Meng Pei introduced, "Oh, this is the second young master of the He family who runs a restaurant in Chenggu County." Then he said to the young master He, "This is my son, Meng Yunzheng, whom I've told you about."

Young Master He swallowed hard. This was Meng Yunzheng, the famous "Little Three Scholars" of Chenggu County? With such a powerful figure suddenly appearing on their side, he inexplicably felt that their chances of escaping had increased.

He wanted to go up and talk to Meng Yunzheng, but then he heard Shu Yu's surprised voice from the side, "The second young master of the He family? The one who was taken to the wild animal camp to be fed to the wild animals last night?"

She remembered that in the prison cell, they overheard the distraught young master say that it was because they heard the screams of the second young master of the He family being torn apart by wild beasts that they couldn't bear it and started shouting and even cursing the bandits without restraint, wanting to get a quick death.

So this person wasn't dead after all.

Young Master He stared wide-eyed at Shu Yu in shock and exclaimed, "A woman? A woman?"

Shu Yu hadn't spoken yet, and was dressed as a man, so Young Master He hadn't realized it. It was only when he heard her unadorned voice that he was suddenly startled.

This place is so dangerous, how could she dare to come in? He's been here for days and is almost scared to death.

He had many questions he wanted to ask, but no one had time to answer them.

Meng Yunzheng and the others walked quickly as he asked Meng Pei why he was in the Wild Beast Camp.

Speaking of this, Meng Pei didn't know whether he was lucky or unlucky.

He quickly gave a brief summary of the situation.

Two days ago, he followed Jiang Kuanyu and the others out, and found the mansion by following the sounds of fighting and the traces on the road. Then he followed them to the room where the secret passage entrance was located.

However, by the time he arrived, Jiang Kuanyu and the others had already taken the unconscious Uncle Meng into the secret passage.

He only had time to see the secret passage door close; he couldn't get in and didn't know where the mechanism was.

Just as Meng Pei was anxiously searching for the mechanism in the room, footsteps sounded outside.

He immediately hid, and then saw an injured man stumble in.

Meng Pei recognized him. This man must have been the one who fought with Uncle Meng in the courtyard, was slashed by Uncle Meng and fell to the ground, but was thought to be dead by Jiang Kuanyu and the others.

When Meng Pei came looking for him, he saw him lying unconscious in an abandoned corridor with a large stab wound on his chest.

Jiang Kuanyu and his group were in a hurry and naturally didn't have time to collect the bodies. Anyway, the bandits guarding the mansion would take care of it.

But no one expected that this person was still alive.

Meng Pei watched as his fingers groped under the table, and then he saw a wall move back about a meter, revealing the entrance to the secret passage.

Meng Pei was overjoyed and was about to follow when the man heard him and suddenly turned around.

The two clashed instantly. Meng Pei was highly skilled, and although his opponent was also quite good at martial arts, he was already seriously injured. After only a few moves, he was at a disadvantage and was stabbed in the heart by a sword.

Meng Pei coldly drew his sword, but before his death, the other party suddenly revealed a strange smile.

At first, Meng Pei didn't understand the meaning of his final smile, but he didn't care at that moment. Seeing that the other person had stopped breathing, he quickly took him outside to treat him, then hurriedly returned to the room and went down the secret passage.

Once inside the secret passage, Meng Pei understood the meaning behind his eerie smile.
