Chapter 1697 Because, My Surname is Meng
Meng Yunzheng sneered, a fierce glint flashing in his eyes, and raised the sword in his hand to stab him.
Guo Laowu cried out in panic, "Wait, wait a minute! You can't kill me! Do you know who my master is? Do you know whose territory this black market is?"
"I know, it's the Second Prince."
Guo Laowu had originally intended to bluff, but upon hearing this, he was so frightened he almost lost his footing. He stared at him in disbelief, "You, you know? How did you know?"
In the eyes of the world, the second prince was already a person who had died unexpectedly.
Even in this operation, those publicly known to be in charge were the Third Prince; very few people knew that the Second Prince was still alive. Meng Yunzheng shouldn't have known.
Meng Yunzheng was itching to finish him off right now, but this guy probably knew a lot of information, so he wanted to try and get some useful information out of him.
Therefore, he refrained from making a move and instead took out a bead.
Do you recognize this?
Guo Laowu squinted; the visibility here was too poor for him to see clearly.
Meng Yunzheng didn't intend for him to see too clearly, but simply said, "You didn't want to sell me that black market in Jiangyuan County back then because you were afraid I would accidentally discover something and find out who the mastermind behind the black market was, right? But even if I didn't buy the black market, I already know what I need to know. I know that the people who killed my maternal grandparents' family were assassins sent by Gong Qiu. That assassin lost a bead, which my cousin has been holding ever since, and it's the one I have. Later, someone found an identical bead on the wrist of the former manager of the black market."
Guo Laowu's pupils contracted, never expecting to be exposed by such an inconspicuous bead.
Meng Yunzheng said, "You said that the assassin from Gongqiu and the former manager of the black market both had the same bead. What does that mean? It means the two were closely related. And the black market is also connected to Gongqiu, perhaps he's even the mastermind. But Gongqiu was beheaded, I saw it with my own eyes. He's dead, but the black market is still operating normally, and they're even making orderly plans to withdraw from Jiangyuan County. Tell me, if there's no one in charge behind this, who would believe it? The black market is a behemoth, and the person in charge must be someone extraordinary. And besides the Second Prince whose death was suspicious, who else has this ability?"
Guo Laowu thought Meng Yunzheng was too terrifying; no wonder his master had instructed him not to have too much contact with him.
Look, as soon as he arrived at the black market, he turned the place upside down.
Guo Laowu felt a chill run through his body, but forced a smile and said, "No, as expected of Young Master Meng. Since you know the master's abilities, you should stand on our side and help him. You are capable, shrewd, and knowledgeable. When the master rises to a high position, he will certainly not treat you unfairly. After all, you and the master are brothers..."
Meng Yunzheng thrust his sword forward. Guo Laowu was still trying to persuade him when he was caught off guard and attacked him directly.
He gripped the sword to his chest, raised his head, and looked utterly bewildered.
Why...?
Meng Yunzheng was filled with regret, thinking he could get some useful information out of him, but it turned out to be all nonsense.
"Why? Because my surname is Meng. Oh, by the way, there's something I still need to tell you. When you sold the black market to Master Miao, we had already negotiated a deal with him. He would transfer the manor to me a year later. Last month marked exactly one year, and now the manor and the mountain are both in my name."
