Chapter 2348 Xu Zhensheng is very cunning
After settling Wei Qin in, Meng Yunzheng thought of the young man at the door earlier and turned to ask Xu Zhensheng, "Are you very familiar with that person?"
Xu Zhensheng chuckled and shook his head, saying, "I'm not familiar with him. He hasn't been in Zhengdao Village for long, and I haven't taken him out to play before. But after you guys came over last time, he found an opportunity to approach me a couple of days later and tried to find out about you intentionally or unintentionally."
Meng Yunzheng and Shu Yu frowned. "He's getting close to you? Then Wei Qin isn't very safe here either."
Sensing their concerns, Xu Zhensheng quickly said, "Don't worry. Although he asked me for information, he didn't find out anything. He got impatient with me a couple of days ago and kept making excuses, saying he had a lot of work to do and wanted to keep his distance from me. I guess he's also afraid I'll find out about him. He seems to have far more secrets than I do."
Xu Zhensheng was also a shrew; when the other party inquired about him, he didn't hold back at all. He talked at length about his friendship with Shu Yu from a few years ago, exaggerating to an extreme degree, and even adding fuel to the fire by saying things that didn't exist at all, to show off his family's status in front of Zhengdao Village and the county magistrate.
There are many elderly people in Zhengdao Village who know about Shu Yu's affairs there. When they hear Xu Zhensheng talking nonsense, they will naturally refute him.
After such a seemingly plausible but ultimately false explanation, the boy couldn't tell what was true and what was false, and became even more confused.
After inquiring for a few days without getting any information, he decided not to continue playing with him.
But this time Xu Zhensheng refused. Instead, he pestered the boy, saying that it was rare for him to listen to his stories, as many of his friends were unwilling to listen, and he insisted on catching the boy to listen to his boasting.
Sometimes they would suddenly show up at his door, causing the boy to lose all opportunities to meet and communicate with others.
He is now eager to get rid of Xu Zhensheng's entanglement, but with Shu Yu and the others coming this time, the young man might once again have the idea of probing.
Clearly, he was no match for Xu Zhensheng.
Meng Yunzheng actually quite admired this kid. "You can bother him for a few more days, then find a chance to keep your distance from him and stop having any contact with him."
Xu Zhensheng was puzzled. "Why? I can inquire about the people who took care of him."
Meng Yunzheng shook his head. "The young man you've been in contact with may not be very shrewd, but the others are all experienced and ruthless. Even if you don't do anything, they might worry that you know something, and it wouldn't be difficult for them to take action against you just in case."
Upon hearing this, Madam Lin immediately tensed up and said seriously to Xu Zhensheng, "Listen to Young Master Meng."
Shu Yu, fearing that Xu Zhensheng might act impulsively due to his youthful impetuosity, added two more sentences: "Even if you don't think about yourself, you have to think about your parents. If they want to silence you, they won't just target you."
Upon hearing this, Xu Zhensheng's expression changed. He pursed his lips and said solemnly, "I understand. I will cut off all contact with him in a couple of days."
"Um."
He listened to the advice, and Meng Yunzheng then asked him about his interactions with the boy in the past few days.
However, the other party was clearly also cautious and did not provide much useful information.
After finishing their meal at the Xu family's house, Meng Yunzheng and his group returned to the manor. Before leaving, Shu Yu went to see Wei Qin and said, "Sister-in-law, we have to go. We will leave Zhengdao Village first thing tomorrow morning. Take good care of your injuries and wait for us to come back."
