Chapter 1692 I'm on your side

Before Shu Yu could finish speaking, the bandit suddenly knelt down on the ground with a thud and kowtowed three times to her, three solid kowtows.

Shu Yu, "..."

When the bandit raised his face, he was already in tears and looked miserable.

"Girls, please spare me! Don't kill me! Waaah, I... I've never killed anyone. Really, although I work here, aside from being a bit of a chatterbox, a prying eye, and having some malicious thoughts, I really haven't laid a hand on anyone. I haven't done anything evil; I'm still innocent. Girls, please let me go, considering I'm still kind. I've helped you get here all this way; even if I haven't done anything great, I've still put in the effort, right? From now on, I promise I'll listen to you. If you tell me to go east, I'll never go west. I'll be your slave; just give me the antidote, and treat me like a fart, just let me go."

Shu Yu: "...You really are a fence-sitter."

“Yes, yes, I’m just a blade of grass, I’m very soft. And I’ve always been on your side, I don’t approve of the black market’s brutal practices at all. They went to Chenggu County to do evil, and I didn’t go with them. Now they’ve gone to the next county, and I’ve found an excuse to stay here. I didn’t participate in any of the things they did. I was just a gatekeeper in the mansion. I’m innocent.”

Shu Yu's lips twitched. To say she was innocent would be taking herself too seriously.

Seeing him crying with snot and tears streaming down his face, she felt disgusted. "Alright, alright, stop crying. Whether you've killed anyone or done anything wrong, someone will judge for you. Just lead us the way, and we'll give you the antidote."

As for what will happen to them in the future, that's beyond their control.

These people in the black market will eventually be arrested and interrogated. How long they serve in prison, whether they are exiled, forced into hard labor, or even beheaded, is all decided by the government.

Considering how much he had helped them along the way, they wouldn't poison him.

The bandit wiped away his tears, sniffled, and his voice choked with emotion yet tinged with hope, "You...you didn't lie to me?"

Why would I lie to you?

The bandits thought it made sense; they had already reached the black market and caused quite a stir. Xia Yi knew this place better than they did, and they seemed to be of no use anymore, so there was no reason for her to lie to them.

Moreover... when he encountered wolves earlier, Young Master Meng had saved him and given him a hand.

He finally stopped kneeling and sat obediently in the corner.

Seeing Meng Pei cleaning and bandaging his uncle's wounds, he asked ingratiatingly, "Um, do you need my help?"

Meng Pei glanced at him, and the bandit shrank back. "Alright, alright, I understand. I won't move. Don't worry about me doing anything bad."

Meng Pei lowered his head and continued washing, with Young Master He helping him.

Since it wasn't convenient for Shuyu, a young woman, to sit by the door and listen to the sounds outside.

The noise outside has gradually subsided, but Manager Guo should soon organize a thorough search.

Fortunately, the black market is vast, and after the chaos, they suffered heavy losses, with many still needing medical attention and wound care. Under these circumstances, it might not be possible for them to be located in the short term.

The only concern is that this abandoned room is too close to the warehouse. If Jiang Kuanyu has his men start searching from this area, they will be in great danger.
