Chapter 2202 Two Close Calls with the Wei Family
Shu Yu glanced at him sideways, "Where is that wealthy businessman from?"
Wei Tang was taken aback. "Huajiang Prefecture."
Shu Yu was slightly surprised. Huajiang Prefecture? The prefecture she had visited several times, which was very developed because it had a large dock and convenient waterways.
She remembered that three years ago, when she brought Xiao Song Le home, they took a boat to Huajiang Prefecture and then transferred to a carriage.
Unexpectedly, that was the closest Xiao Songle ever got to his mother.
When did the Wei family member escape and disappear?
Wei Tang obediently replied, "Around mid-April last year."
Shu Yu suddenly raised her head, "Mid-April last year?" At that time, she was in Huajiang Prefecture.
At the time, she was on her way home from Changjin Prefecture when she encountered Da Niu, who was transporting goods, on her way through Huajiang Prefecture. Da Niu had just finished negotiating two business deals at the dock, and she had even gone to the dock to buy a lot of writing brushes, ink, paper, and inkstones. It was because of this that Ying Dong inadvertently saw the Deputy Escort Chief Lin.
Because of this, they and Meng Pei became suspicious and investigated this deputy head镖师 (bodyguard/escort), so they stayed in Huajiang Prefecture for a few days.
I've almost missed out on the Wei family several times?
Shu Yu rubbed her temples and then asked Wei Tang for the name and address of the wealthy merchant who had married the Wei family.
Wei Tang answered everything truthfully, but then frowned and asked, "Miss, you're not going to look for my sister, are you? My sister is definitely not in Huajiang Prefecture anymore. My brother-in-law is very wealthy and influential in the area, and he knows the area very well. He's been looking for her for over half a year and still can't find her, let alone you. If you ask me, there are docks and boats all over Huajiang Prefecture. Maybe my sister has already left by boat."
Shu Yu scoffed lightly, then turned and left.
Wei Tang was stunned for a moment, then hurriedly called out, "Wait a minute, you're just leaving like this? Where's my antidote?"
"What antidote? What you took wasn't poison at all, just an ordinary pill."
"Wh-what?" Wei Tang looked incredulous. "But I clearly felt a burning sensation in my abdomen just now, just like the symptoms you described."
Shu Yu didn't even turn her head. "That's because you're too timid. You were too nervous after hearing it was poisoned. If you don't believe me, go to a clinic and you'll see. Or wait an hour and see if you really die from bleeding from all seven orifices?"
Aunt Hong chuckled when she heard this. "Serves him right, he did something inhuman."
She spat at Wei Tang, calling him a "coward."
Wei Tang finally realized what was happening and immediately stood up in a rage, ready to attack Shu Yu. But after taking a few steps, he felt a pain in his lower back and, thinking of her incredibly powerful kick, instantly chickened out.
But he was unwilling to give up, so he could only stand there and yell at her back, "Who are you? State your name, or I'll definitely settle this score with you later."
Shu Yu stopped this time. She stood at the alley entrance, slowly turned around, her eyes icy cold, and spoke slowly, word by word, "I advise you, you'd better not try to harm your sister and Gouwa again, or next time you'll be fed real poison. Don't worry, I won't risk my life. I'll make sure you die silently, do you believe me?"
Wei Tang's heart skipped a beat. He believed it, of course he believed it.
He didn't understand before, but after meeting that wealthy businessman, he fully realized how easy it was for rich and powerful people to kill them.
Wei Tang dared not say another word and ran away through another exit of the alley.
Only after the person had completely disappeared did Aunt Hong ask worriedly, "Miss Lu, Gouwa's mother will be alright, right?"
