Chapter 768: Chapter 768: Finally Came to Seek His Help Chapter 768: Chapter 768: Finally Came to Seek His Help Qi Chan was taken aback for a moment, then felt some surprise and joy.
It seemed she indeed had encountered a problem and came to seek his help.
For some reason, when he heard that she came to him with a request, he actually felt a sense of relief.
He didn’t even stop to consider whether her problem was difficult to handle and said directly, “Tell me, I’ll definitely help if I can.”
Shu Yu pursed her lips and looked around.
Seeing this, Qi Chan knew she wanted to speak to him alone, so he waved his hand to have everyone leave.
But in fact, there were still guards from the Qi Family watching from hiding spots.
Shu Yu acted as if she was unaware of this, and as soon as everyone left, she said in a low voice, “Actually, when I went out of town to the courier station to find Madam Hou today, I encountered a guard from the governor’s side.”
Upon hearing this, Qi Chan’s face suddenly changed, and he asked anxiously, “Which guard? What’s his name?”
Qi Chan’s expression turned grave, “You met him? You…”
He wanted to ask if Cheng Dong had hurt her, as the man was already at the end of his rope and the more desperate he became, the more likely he was to harm others.
But seeing that Shu Yu was unharmed, Qi Chan breathed a sigh of relief. Just as he was about to ask where the man currently was, Shu Yu continued, “Yes, I encountered him. He was covered in blood and suddenly rushed out trying to hijack my mule carriage. I recognized him, thinking he had run into assassins, and I was worried that Lord Cheng was also in danger.”
“I didn’t expect him to say that there is a traitor among Lord Cheng’s people, that he had uncovered the traitor’s conspiracy, and as a result, he was chased here. I thought it was a serious matter, so I suggested bringing him to Mister Qi for help, but Guard Cheng Dong disagreed. He said that Mister Qi was also being watched, and if we found Mister Qi, you would be in danger of losing your life too. The imperative action was to seek external assistance, so he asked me to take him to the courier station.”
“I was at my wit’s end at that time, so I just took him there. But when he got to the courier station, he did not ask to see a doctor, nor could he be seen by others. Instead, he asked me to send a letter for him to help him leave Linzhang Prefecture. The more I thought about it, the more something felt off. If he wanted me to send a letter, why did it have to be delivered to Hetai Prefecture? It’s easy for me to see Mister Qi, wouldn’t it be simpler to send it to you?”
“I felt something was not right, so, so I knocked him out. I was thinking that sending him to meet Mister Qi privately should be easier, right, right?”
Shu Yu was very anxious, “Mister Qi, I didn’t do anything wrong, did I? I don’t know if what I did will delay your and Lord Cheng’s important matters, I just, just…”
The more she spoke, the more panicked she became, but Qi Chan’s face was full of shock.
Cheng, Cheng Dong was actually in her hands, and she had knocked him out?
Silent, Qi Chan left Shu Yu to continue expressing her panic and confusion.
Qi Chan came back to his senses and quickly waved his hands, “No no, you did nothing wrong. On the contrary, you’ve done very well, incredibly well.”
He took a deep breath and pointed at the mule carriage in front of him, “So, he is inside there now?”
Shu Yu nodded vigorously.
Qi Chan smiled, “Let’s go, bring the person out.”
Shu Yu sighed in relief and quickly climbed onto the mule carriage.
The carriage seat wasn’t as firmly fixed as before, she managed to dismantle it with a bit of effort.
Then, panting with exertion, she dragged Cheng Dong out. As soon as he was out, Shu Yu pointed at him and said, “I was afraid he would wake up and hurt someone, so I tied him up tightly, but…”
Shu Yu’s words were cut off halfway, and she suddenly stopped, saying in astonishment, “He, he’s bleeding from the mouth.”
