Chapter 339 The veil was torn off, and the prize came without any effort.

Pei Yuan's hoarse and confused voice sounded from behind.

"A-Chu?"

Chen Chu's heart leaped into his throat instantly.

Pei Yuan recognized her?

She was dressed in women's clothing and had a pregnant belly, so how did Pei Yuan recognize her?

What should she do now?

A jumble of chaotic thoughts flashed through Chen Chu's mind in an instant, and she subconsciously lowered her voice and said:

"Who is Achu? You've mistaken me for someone else."

Pei Yuan closed his eyes briefly, gazing at Shen Chu's retreating figure, a moment of confusion in his eyes.

Why does the person in front of me sound somewhat like A-Chu?

And just before I fainted, I seemed to hear someone call out "Sixth Brother".

He must be delirious from the fever; the person in front of him is clearly a pregnant woman.

How could it be Achu?

Pei Yuan pursed his chapped lips and asked in a hoarse voice, "Did you save me?"

Shen Chu didn't dare to turn around at all, and only gave a soft "hmm".

"Thank you so much for saving my life. May I ask your name? I will definitely repay you another day."

Chen Chu lowered her head and said softly, "It was nothing, young master, you don't need to worry about it."

Pei Yuan frowned, finding the person in front of him rather strange.

But those two sentences had almost exhausted all his strength. The high fever had blurred his vision, making it even more impossible for him to concentrate on thinking.

He struggled to pull out something from his waist, then tugged at Shen Qinghuan's skirt.

"Here, take this."

Chen Chu thought he was going to give her something as a token of gratitude, so she quickly said, "No need."

Pei Yuan stubbornly held onto her skirt and refused to let go.

"Here you go, take it."

Having no other choice, Chen Chu turned around.

She lowered her head, quickly took the thing from Pei Yuan's hand, without even having time to see what it was.

But just as she gripped the object, Pei Yuan suddenly reached out and pulled at her veil.

The moment the veil fell, Chen Chu's face turned pale, and she turned around in a panic.

But behind him was deathly silence.

Then Han Feng's calm voice rang out, "Don't be afraid, he didn't see it."

Shen Chu was stunned for a moment, then turned around and saw Han Feng slowly pulling a silver needle out of Pei Yuan's neck.

"Did the senior brother knock him unconscious?"

"Otherwise what? I'm standing right here, and he just keeps twisting his neck to look at you. He deserves to be knocked unconscious by me."

Shen Chu was both amused and exasperated.

Han Feng put away the silver needles, then put a pill into Pei Yuan's mouth before saying:

"The situation is still unclear, so how can you let him know your true identity?"

As the senior disciple, I have to nip this potential threat to your safety in the bud.

Shen Chu was stunned for a moment, feeling a mix of emotions.

Just then, hurried footsteps suddenly came from the alley outside.

"There's still blood ahead, so the people must be coming this way."

Upon hearing the voice of the newcomer, Shen Chu was slightly startled. She quickly picked up the light gauze and retied it, then placed the jade fan on Pei Yuan.

"It's Liu Feng who's here. Let's go."

Han Feng nodded, grabbed her, and with a light touch of their toes, they leaped over the wall.

Liu Feng and Sun Yan ran into the dark alley one after the other.

Shen Chu listened from the other side of the wall for a while, and only left with Han Feng after making sure they were safe and sound and taking Pei Yuan away.

Back in the rented courtyard, Hongxiu was already back.

“Girl, after you left, I searched all over Sanyuantang, but I couldn’t find a single bottle of Jinqiangbudao Water.”

I pressed Manager Li for answers several times, and he insisted that he clearly remembered keeping a bottle in the shop, but he didn't know why it had suddenly disappeared.

"Gone?" Shen Chu frowned.

"Did Second Brother interrogate Manager Li? Did he get any useful information out of him?"

Hongxiu said, "After I sent the person over, the Second Young Master immediately interrogated him."

But Manager Li was very tight-lipped; even after his second senior brother had nearly crippled him, he refused to utter a single word.

Shen Chu seemed to be deep in thought.

"The more he refuses to confess, the more it shows that there is a huge secret hidden behind the 'unfailing penis'."

I have a hunch that this might be related to the disappearance of the girl.

Hongxiu was completely confused.

"Really? These two things seem completely unrelated."

Chen Chu remained noncommittal.

Han Feng shook his head and sighed, "Even if you have many guesses, it's useless if we can't find any other clues."

I thought I'd finally gotten a bottle of "Golden Gun" (a type of erectile dysfunction drug) and could find out its ingredients today, but it was all for nothing.

Shen Chu pursed her lips.

It wasn't a complete waste of time; at least they saved Pei Yuan.

She couldn't even imagine what would have happened if they hadn't met Pei Yuan today; would Pei Yuan have bled to death in that dark alley...?

Thinking of Pei Yuan, her heart clenched with anguish.

Yuanbao ran out of the house and nimbly leaped into Chen Chu's arms.

Chen Chu smiled and rubbed its head.

Yuanbao rubbed against her as usual, but suddenly his ears perked up, and he barked at Chen Chu with a look of displeasure.

"Waaah~"

Chen Chu patted its head. "What's wrong? Who upset you?"

Yuanbao nibbled at her sleeve with his teeth, then pulled something out of it.

Shen Chu was stunned for a moment, then recognized it as the thing Pei Yuan had just given her.

She was startled by Pei Yuan's sudden action of pulling off her veil, and without even looking closely, she stuffed the things into her sleeve.

Only now have we realized it was a small glass bottle, stained with blood.

It's obvious without even thinking that it's Pei Yuan's blood.

Shen Chu took the glass bottle off Yuanbao's mouth, wiped the blood off it, and suddenly revealed a surprised smile.

"Oh...isn't this the 'golden spear doesn't drip water' technique?"

It must have been when Pei Yuan left Sanyuantang that he casually took the last bottle of Golden Spear Water left by Manager Li.

Han Feng quickly took it and smelled it. "It really is a golden spear that never falls out, hahaha, what do you call this? You searched high and low but found it without any effort."

"Wait here, I'll go and study the ingredients right away."

Chen Chu nodded, "Okay, Hongxiu, go to Qingshan Town and inquire about Manager Li."

------

Pei Yuan woke up again the next morning.

"Your Highness has finally woken up. If you hadn't, I would have invited all the famous doctors in Yangzhou."

When Sun Yan saw that he had woken up, he looked extremely excited and thankful.

Pei Yuan rubbed his forehead. "Where am I? Where is the person who saved me yesterday?"

"This is where Liu Feng is staying in Yangzhou. The person who saved you yesterday?" Sun Yan was completely confused. "When we found Your Highness yesterday, you were lying on the ground alone, with no one around."

Pei Yuan frowned. "Nobody here?"

Sun Yan nodded, "Is Your Highness looking for your savior? That's easy. Just tell me their characteristics, and Liu Feng will send people to search the streets."

Pei Yuan pondered the events of yesterday.

The other party clearly didn't want him to know his true identity, otherwise they wouldn't have knocked him unconscious when he tore off his veil.

He instructed Sun Yan, "Go to the town where you found me yesterday and inquire about Sanyuantang, especially the customers who bought medicine there yesterday."

"yes."

Liu Feng entered from outside and said, "Greetings, Your Highness."

Pei Yuan hummed in agreement and asked impatiently, "Where is A-Chu now?"

Liu Feng said, "Young Master Shen has now moved to the prefectural government office, so he should be working there at this time."

"Does Your Highness wish to go and see Lord Shen now?"
