Chapter 769 No, it was her who came to help.
Qi Chan was taken aback, then immediately stepped forward and crouched down to check Cheng Dong's condition.
After a moment, he frowned, a hint of regret flashing across his face.
Shu Yu hurriedly asked, "What happened to him? Did he bite his tongue and commit suicide?"
Qi Chan shook his head. "There was poison in his mouth. He must have committed suicide by poisoning himself."
Shu Yuhuo then took a few steps back. "So, he's dead?"
"Yeah, he's dead."
"How could this happen? Mr. Qi, I didn't do anything. I didn't mean to kill him. I don't know how it turned out like this. What should I do? He's Lord Cheng's bodyguard. Will Lord Cheng blame me? I should have known better than to tie him up."
Qi Chan immediately comforted her, "Don't be afraid, this has nothing to do with you. Lord Cheng won't blame you; on the contrary, he'll be grateful to you. This Cheng Dong is the spy who infiltrated Lord Cheng's inner circle. We've been trying to catch him for the past two days. He's a suicide soldier. I suppose he was tied up by you, knew he had no hope of escaping, and didn't want to be interrogated, so he simply committed suicide by poisoning himself. You didn't expect this either, so don't blame yourself."
"Is that so?" Shu Yu asked, still uneasy. "Is it really none of my business?"
"Yes, you did a great job. He is extremely skilled. If you hadn't tied him up properly, he might have found an opportunity to escape, or even killed you. Miss Lu, Lord Cheng and I were right, you are indeed exceptionally intelligent."
Shu Yu, "..." Why do I feel inexplicably guilty?
She immediately changed the subject, "It's good that I didn't do anything wrong." She breathed a sigh of relief, "I really didn't expect that Cheng Dong would be a spy for Lord Cheng. Luckily, I didn't listen to him and help him, otherwise I would have become a sinner. Is Lord Cheng alright? This person has been by Lord Cheng's side for many years, it would be too easy for him to do something to harm him."
"Yes, even Lord Cheng didn't expect this. Actually, you had already captured him, but you just wanted to extract some clues from him. You didn't expect him to find a chance to escape instead." Qi Chan shook his head. Fortunately, the man is dead now.
Shu Yu thought that it was indeed a wise move for them not to leave him alive to torture him for confession.
"Should we hand this person over to Lord Cheng?"
Qi Chan thought for a moment, "Recently, the temperature has dropped significantly in various parts of the Great Su Dynasty, and our area has also been greatly affected. Lord Cheng is too busy to spare any time, so I'll take care of the body."
If he weren't so busy, the governor wouldn't have given this man a chance to escape.
Now that the person is dead, it's the same if he takes over the follow-up issues.
Shu Yu nodded, "It has been very cold lately. Master Cheng has a great responsibility, so we can only say that you must work hard."
"It's fortunate that you were here, you've been such a great help. Once Lord Cheng is done with this, I'll recommend you for a reward."
"Mr. Qi, you're too kind. I just stumbled upon this by accident. But I do have something else here that I don't know if it can be of any help to Lord Cheng."
Qi Chan was taken aback. There was more?
"What could possibly be of help to Master Cheng?"
Shu Yu pursed her lips. "Would you like to take a look at something that can provide a hot meal, sir?"
Qi Chan nodded. "Have a hot meal?" Of course he wanted to see something that concerned people's livelihoods.
Shu Yu pointed to the corpse on the ground.
Qi Chan waved his hand, "It's alright, someone will come and clean it up."
Since he had said that, Shu Yu didn't care anymore and followed Qi Chan into the study.
