Chapter 1474 Jiang Kuanyu is dead too?
Butler Tang said, "I've inquired about it. That escort agency deliberately kept it a secret for the sake of its reputation. In the beginning, the agency only took on small jobs, with short routes. The Jiang family hiring them to escort them back to their hometown was their biggest job. The agency was counting on this escort trip to make a name for themselves. If something went wrong, how could they expect to get any more business?"
So when the accident happened on the way to escort the goods, one of the guards died, and the head guard strictly forbade anyone to tell anyone, so it was kept a secret.
It was a coincidence that the deceased镖师 (bodyguard/escort) was all alone, without any relatives, and even though he never showed up, no one came looking for the镖局 (escort agency).
But when the neighbors didn't see him return for a long time, they still asked about him. The escort agency then announced that the镖师 (bodyguard/escort) had an accident during a later escort mission and had unfortunately passed away.
Although both are deaths, it's fine as long as they didn't die on the way to escort the Jiang family.
Steward Tang learned about these matters from another bodyguard in the escort agency, who was the best friend of the bodyguard who had unfortunately died. Because of his friend's accident, this bodyguard was also heartbroken and had been feeling guilty for some time, but he was powerless to do anything about it.
Master Tan frowned deeply upon hearing this, "This escort agency is too unethical. They've already killed someone, yet they still leave with such unease."
He looked up and asked, "You just said that they encountered robbers on their way back, which is why they got into trouble?"
“Yes.” Butler Tang nodded. “However, those robbers were a rabble, which is why that small security company was able to handle them.”
"What about the Jiang family?"
Butler Tang hesitated for a moment before saying hesitantly, "The rest of the Jiang family is fine, but... Young Master Jiang fell off the cliff. The bodyguard tried to pull him up, but they both fell off the cliff. The bodyguards and the Jiang family searched the bottom of the cliff, but they couldn't find him. They only found bloodstained cloth at the bottom, and it's said that he might have been eaten by wild animals."
The Tan father and son gasped in shock. "What did you say? Jiang Kuanyu fell in too?"
"Yes, only the two of them had an accident. But the Jiang family didn't believe it. Mrs. Jiang said that since they hadn't found the body, her son was definitely not dead, and she forbade the escort agency from talking nonsense. Fortunately, the escort agency didn't want anyone to know that their escort mission had failed, so they simply went along with Mrs. Jiang's words and never mentioned that Young Master Jiang had an accident. Then they continued to send the people to their hometown in the north."
Shu Yu narrowed her eyes after hearing this. She was certain that Jiang Kuanyu was not dead, and the bodyguard who fell off the cliff with him was also very likely still alive.
But if he were still alive, why hasn't he returned yet?
Perhaps... he was killed by Jiang Kuanyu again? Or maybe he knows something but dares not come back?
She looked up and asked Butler Tang, "Do you know which section of the road they had the accident on?"
"I know, it's about twenty miles away from Changjin Prefecture."
Shu Yu: "Such a big thing has happened, shouldn't we report it to the authorities?"
"It has been reported. The government sent people to investigate and said that there were indeed traces of wild animals passing by the bottom of the cliff. They also found the bloodstained clothes of the bodyguard and Young Master Jiang, which were torn apart by wild animals. It is most likely that the two of them were eaten after they died."
Shu Yu sighed. She had suspected there was a problem in Changjin Prefecture, and now it seemed that the government offices in Changjin Prefecture might also be problematic.
It's now fairly certain that Jiang Kuanyu was in Changjin Prefecture, which is why he deliberately chose that location to cause trouble and break away from the group.
Mrs. Jiang's reaction suggests that she knows her son is still alive.
