Chapter 1643 My Uncle and My Father Have Disappeared
Meng Han ignored him and tightened her grip on Shu Yu's arm.
"Sister Ayu, I never thought I'd see you again! You really came! Am I dreaming? Waaah..."
"Of course it's not a dream, we traveled day and night to get here. How are you? Are you alright?"
Meng Yunzheng stood beside the two of them. Seeing that Meng Han was alright, he looked up at Meng Qi, Uncle Gao, and the others who came out from behind the secret passage.
Not seeing Meng Pei and Uncle Meng, Meng Yunzheng's expression turned slightly serious, and a bad premonition flashed through his mind.
When Meng Qi got closer, he asked, "Where's my father?"
Meng Qi suddenly stopped in his tracks, while the others looked somewhat grief-stricken.
Shu Yu frowned upon seeing this. Before she could ask any further questions, Meng Han, who was in her arms, sobbed and said, "Cousin, my uncle and my father have both had an accident. They've disappeared."
"What do you mean 'disappeared'?" Shu Yu released her and asked anxiously.
It was Uncle Gao who spoke up, "This isn't the place to talk. Let's go into the private room and talk."
Meng Yunzheng nodded, called Xia Yan and Ying Xi who were not far away, and the group returned to the secret room.
The door to the secret passage was carefully closed again.
Shu Yu looked around the secret room. She hadn't noticed it before, but once she was inside, she realized there were quite a few people in the room.
This place not only houses the bodyguards from the escort agency, but also their families.
However, there were probably some bodyguards who were out on escort missions, so all told, there were probably seven or eight bodyguards present.
Including family members and a few servants from the Meng family, there were nearly forty people in total.
Fortunately, the secret room was large enough, and judging from the marks, it should have been expanded after Meng Pei came over, as some of the soil in the corner was fresh.
Even so, with so many people together, it was still very crowded and the air felt stuffy.
It's already November, and while it's cold outside, the room is stuffy and hot; you feel like you're about to break out in a sweat as soon as you step inside.
Shu Yu and Meng Yunzheng sat down on a small stool, and Meng Qi poured them a glass of water.
And you know what? They hadn't had any water since they started their journey, except for a little when they first started traveling. They were really thirsty.
As Shu Yu drank, Meng Han recounted what had happened during this period.
Those bandits suddenly broke into Chenggu County twelve days ago and began committing atrocities, causing harm to many families.
Their security escort agency was the same; when a group of bandits broke in, they would start burning, killing, and looting. They had no purpose; it was just extremely chaotic.
Meng Han killed the first bandit who broke in.
That evening, Meng Han had just had a few words with Tao Shi, and she felt upset, so she couldn't sleep that night. She kept thinking about her carefree life in Jiangyuan County. Since her father had just returned, she planned to use the same trick to secretly follow her uncle to Jiangyuan County again.
At that time, Meng Han was unaware that chaos might break out in Changjin Prefecture, so she was stunned when the first bandit climbed down the wall.
However, the bandit was stunned for a moment, but he quickly raised his knife and slashed at Meng Han.
Meng Han instinctively dodged, then drew the dagger she carried and stabbed the bandit in the bucket. The bandit died before she could even react.
Meng Han was stunned. She had never killed anyone before. By the time she came to her senses, her screams had already woken up the others in the escort agency.
Therefore, by the time the other bandits broke in, the Meng family members had already woken up and picked up their weapons to defend themselves.
