Chapter 764: Chapter 764 Cheng Dong Wakes Up Chapter 764: Chapter 764 Cheng Dong Wakes Up Shu Yu felt somewhat regretful as he handed the letter to the very curious Zhao Xi beside him.
Unfortunately, all three of them read it but couldn’t understand it, prompting Shu Yu to ask Meng Yunzheng, “What shall we do with this letter? Will it be handed over to Mister Qi in due course, or kept by ourselves?”
Meng Yunzheng instructed Zhao Xi, “Copy down every single character on this letter without missing any, even the positions must be identical.”
The letter was still to be given to Mister Qi. As for the Hetai Prefecture, Meng Yunzheng planned to check it out himself.
Clearly, there were people from Gong Qiu there as well.
Dealing with Gong Qiu still greatly interested Meng Yunzheng.
Zhao Xi went to copy the letter, and when he finished, Cheng Dong was still not awake.
Zhao Xi took his pulse, then looked up and asked Shu Yu, “How much knockout powder did you actually use on her?”
“Half of the knockout powder you gave me.” She kept the other half just in case, fearing that Cheng Dong might not eat the bowl of noodles, so she was prepared for a second attempt.
Zhao Xi was speechless; the knockout powder he gave was very potent, and a little bit was enough to knock someone out.
My goodness, she actually used half a packet.
No wonder the person had been dragged all the way from the courier station to the county town and was still not awake.
It wasn’t good for the person to be unconscious all the time, so Meng Yunzheng had Zhao Xi wake them up.
Zhao Xi used a needle and pricked him a few times.
Cheng Dong felt a twinge of pain in his daze, and as he reached to touch it, he found he couldn’t move his body at all.
He suddenly became alert, his body tensing up instantly.
Then he looked up, his vision somewhat blurry at Shu Yu, narrowed his eyes, and clenched his teeth, “Lady Lu, what is the meaning of this? I am the governor’s man; do you really want to spend your life in Righteous Dao Village?”
Shu Yu resisted the urge to roll her eyes – still so stubborn at this point.
Shu Yu smiled, “If I let you go, then I will be the one who has to stay in Righteous Dao Village forever. No, if I let you go, I might not even be able to save my own life.”
“Lady Lu, what are you talking about?”
“Don’t be nervous. I brought you back here to meet someone. I think you should recognize him.”
Cheng Dong frowned; as he saw Shu Yu stepping slightly to the side, he then realized that there was another person behind her.
A… young and handsome man.
Cheng Dong sized up the man in front of him and suddenly remembered, “The Eldest Young Master, are you the Eldest Young Master?”
At first, he had not recognized him, as it had been many years since their last meeting. If it weren’t for the fact that Meng Yunzheng was so good-looking and therefore memorable, he would have forgotten that he was the son of the Gong Family.
A rare flash of joy crossed his face; after all, in his heart, Meng Yunzheng was the Eldest Young Master of the Gong Family, technically his semi-master, and they were on the same side.
For a moment, Cheng Dong felt much relieved.
But then he suddenly realized something was amiss and abruptly looked up, “No, how could you, the Eldest Young Master, be here? Shouldn’t you be in the capital?”
Cheng Dong had been undercover for four or five years by the governor’s side, and information about the goings-on in the capital was not always promptly updated.
He did not know that Meng Yunzheng had previously pretended to be a Mute, and Zhao Xi had posed as a fool.
But he was aware that Meng Yunzheng definitely should not be appearing in Linzhang Prefecture, thousands of miles away from the capital.
Cheng Dong’s wariness intensified beyond what it had been previously; he examined Meng Yunzheng, “Eldest Young Master, what is your intention? Why am I tied up?”
Meng Yunzheng coldly observed him for a moment, then suddenly started laughing, “What do you think?”
