Chapter 1758 Shu Yu's Two Questions

Shu Yu finally finished eating, took the handkerchief handed to her by Ying Xi to wipe her mouth, and then met Tao Shi's eager expression.

“Uncle Tao, I did see him, in the bandits’ den.”

Tao and Zhang's eyes lit up, "Then..."

"However, I have a few questions I'd like to ask Aunt Tao."

Everyone was stunned for a moment. Tao hurriedly said, "Let's rescue the person first before asking any questions. That's a bandit's den. Every day Fei Li stays there is another day of danger."

"No rush, there are some issues that need to be clarified first."

Tao was getting impatient and was about to say something when Meng Qi pulled her back.

She could only frown and say, "Fine, fine, go ahead and ask."

Shu Yu looked at Zhang Shi, "Aunt Tao just said that bandits broke into the Tao family that night and kidnapped Uncle Tao, right?"

Zhang nodded.

Shu Yu laughed and said, "That's strange. As far as I know, that night, only wealthy families in the city had members arrested. If bandits broke into the homes of ordinary people, they were all killed on the spot. The Tao family isn't exactly a wealthy family, so why would the bandits arrest them?"

Zhang's expression suddenly changed, and she lowered her head tightly.

Meng Qi nodded, "Yes, Aunt, why did they kidnap Uncle? Those wealthy families were kidnapped because the bandits wanted ransom. Did they ask you for ransom too? How much?"

Meng Qi has been acting strangely these past two days. The day before yesterday, when his father woke up, he only asked if he had seen his uncle from the Tao family, and also asked where his eldest uncle was. He told him to hurry back and tell his eldest uncle that Jiang Kuanyu had captured him for the Meng family's sword, and to be careful.

As for the rest, Uncle Meng was too tired to talk about them in detail.

Meng Qi bid farewell to Shu Yu and immediately returned to the Meng Family Escort Agency to tell Meng Pei what had happened. To his surprise, his uncle said he had already gotten the information from Jiang Kuanyu and told him not to worry.

Meng Qi had been completely confused, but he had been too busy these past two days, running around everywhere with his uncle and older brother, so he had temporarily put aside his doubts.

He was indeed unaware of his uncle's situation.

He was filled with doubts about his uncle's disappearance.

After asking that question, Meng Qi stared at Zhang Shi, whose head drooped even lower.

She kept repeating "I, I, I" for a long time, but couldn't utter a single word.

Finally, she could only shout to Tao, "I don't know! How would I know what those bandits were thinking? They're ruthless and can kidnap whoever they want. Maybe, just maybe they just had a sudden idea and kidnapped someone? Sister-in-law, let's rescue the person first, and then ask the child's father, won't that clarify things?"

Tao opened his mouth, indeed, the most urgent task was to save lives.

She then looked at Shu Yu, who laughed and said, "Alright, let's just say those bandits suddenly lost their minds. The second question is, why did those bandits come to the Meng family to arrest my uncle a few days after Uncle Tao was captured?"

Zhang's eyes widened, and her expression became increasingly guilty.

Shu Yu was now certain that Uncle Meng's arrest was the result of the sins committed by Uncle Tao.

Not only was she certain, but Meng Qi also understood. Judging from Zhang's expression, there was nothing he didn't understand.

Tao frowned, finding Shu Yu's question strange and simply unreasonable.

Just as she was about to stop him, Meng Qi suddenly roared angrily, "Aunt, did Uncle betray my father?"
