Mu Yucheng was never a man who had tender feelings for the fairer sex. He even felt disgusted when he saw Su Mei behaving like this.
However, the commotion from before was too great. Furthermore, he had indeed promised to protect the other party.
Gong Wu's actions were a slap to his face.
Mu Yucheng glared at Gong Wu with an unfriendly expression and tried to suppress his murderous intent.
"Come on, send Mr. Su over there. Remember to protect his safety."
Mu Zhen waved his hand and a group of people ran over to escort Su Mei and her servant away.
Lin Mengya lowered her head so that no one could see the smile in her eyes.
She had just walked out of the courtyard when she heard Lin Mengwu's terrified scream coming from behind.
"What are you doing? Ah, kill, murder! "
The stench of blood spread through the air.
Mu Yucheng's violent temper would definitely teach Lin Mengwu a nightmarish lesson.
Lin Mengwu and her servant exchanged a look tacitly in the horse carriage.
The place where the corpses were placed was in a manor outside the city.
Although it was guarded strictly, it would not be difficult for Second Elder Brother to do it himself.
But once the corpse was missing, the Gong family would be the first suspect.
If Mu Yucheng made a false accusation, no matter what evidence was found on the corpse, it would be overturned.
Therefore, she had to disrupt Mu Yucheng's judgment and divert his suspicion.
"Mr. Su Mei, we're here. Please get off the carriage."
With Xiu's help, she got off the carriage with trembling legs.
Her eyes were still red and she seemed to be in a state of shock.
"This is …"
She looked around. This was an alley that was not too narrow. She was now at the back door of a house.
"Young master said that Mr. Su Mei is in shock and needs to stay here to recuperate. Please come in."
The leader of the group was a servant with a strange face. Lin Mengya nodded submissively and followed him in.
The faint smell of herbs filled the air. She saw many herbs in the courtyard that needed to be dried.
"Shopkeeper Peng, this is the person whom Young Master left here."
The plump Shopkeeper Peng immediately came up to her and after a short conversation with the servant, he placed her in the backyard.
This should be a medicine shop.
He did not expect the Mu Family to have businesses in Feiye City.
Previously, for the sake of the safety of Feiye City, Big Brother had already secretly and carefully checked which places were used by the aristocratic families to gather information.
However, she had never heard Big Brother mention this place.
Come to think of it, the Mu Family already had this in mind, that's why they buried this step in Ye City.
But now, Mu Yucheng actually sent him here. It seemed like it didn't matter even if this place was exposed.
She couldn't help but worry. How many similar places did the Mu family have in Ye city?
The other aristocratic families were probably the same.
If she hadn't been the hostage, she wouldn't have guessed that the seemingly impregnable Karghalik would have been riddled with holes by now.
Suddenly, there was a knock on the door.
Xiu exchanged a look with her and immediately went to open the door.
Shopkeeper Peng was standing at the door.
However, in his hand, there was a bowl of black medicinal concoction.
"Mister Su Mei, this is the calming medicine that our Young Patriarch has ordered us to prepare for you."
Tranquilizer?
Lin Mengya glanced at it and found that it did have some calming properties.
However, she also smelled something else in the slightly bitter taste of the medicine.
She was afraid that it was not an ordinary calming medicine.
She still had a frightened expression on her face. She smiled gratefully at Shopkeeper Peng, then picked up the bowl of medicine and drank it in one gulp.
"It's so bitter."
Shopkeeper Peng said with a smile when he saw that she only frowned and did not seem to have any other reaction.
"Bitter medicine cures illness. Have a good rest, Mister. If you need anything, you can call me at any time."
"Thank you."
Seeing Shopkeeper Peng leave, the smile on Lin Mengya's face gradually faded.
Xiu leaned close to her ear and said a little anxiously.
"Elder Sister Ya, is there anything wrong with the medicine?"
"Did you notice it too?"
Xiu bit her lip and said.
"Yes, Shopkeeper Peng has been looking at you. If it was really an ordinary calming medicine, why would he look at you? "
Of course, she knew that, but the strange thing was that there was no poisonous substance in the medicine.
Moreover, the medicine that she drank would be tested by the system.
The system showed that all the ingredients were very safe, and the effect was indeed calming and calming.
Could it be that she was thinking too much?
"No matter what the medicine is, it won't harm me. Release the signal and let Fourth Elder Brother know that we can start the operation. "
Xiu walked to the window and after making sure that there was no one watching, she took out a small cage from her sleeve.
There were many birds the size of a human thumb in the cage. She carefully took out the bird, cut its sharp beak, and fed it a little blood.
This was the venomous bird that Xiu fed. After she released it, it would follow the blood to find what Xiu had stored in the Gong Family.
This was the signal that they had agreed on. As long as Fourth Elder Brother and the others saw the venomous bird, they would know that they could start the operation.
Lin Mengya looked at the sky outside and hoped that everything would go well.
According to their previous plan, when Lin Mengya returned to the Mu Family, she would deliberately cause a conflict between her and Lin Mengwu.
Mu Yucheng wouldn't ignore it. Even if he didn't care about his own life, he would never allow others to ignore his words.
Therefore, Lin Mengwu would definitely be severely punished.
She knew Lin Mengwu's temper very well. She would not let it go.
Lin Mengwu would even take revenge on Mu Yucheng at all costs to avenge her.
Before coming to the Mu Family, Gong Tu would definitely give Lin Mengwu something or help her.
In this way, Gong Tu's plan would be completely disrupted, and some things would be exposed in advance, which would lose their value.
It was impossible for Mu Yucheng not to notice it, so he would definitely fight back with more ruthlessness.
In this way, once the Mu Family found out that the body was missing, the first person to be suspected would be Gong Tu.
This kind of chaotic situation would be more beneficial to her.
She had calculated every step of the way.
Just as she was thinking about how to perfect this plan, suddenly, there was a rustling sound that entered her ears.
"What's that sound?"
She subconsciously asked Xiu with a smile, but the latter pricked up her ears and listened carefully.
Then, she shook her head.
"No, I didn't hear anything."
That was strange. She clearly heard it.
Moreover, the sound was like a snake crawling on the ground, which made her feel numb.
She sat for a while, but the sound became more and more clear.
Lin Mengya couldn't sit still, so she got up and looked around.
Strangely, the ground was clean, and there was no wind outside. She frowned slightly.
What the hell was going on?
"Elder Sister Ya, are you a little tired? Why don't you go to bed and have a rest? "
Xiu was also a little nervous, so she suggested softly.
Lin Mengya rubbed her forehead. She didn't feel anything wrong with her body, and the system was running normally.
She took off her coat and lay on the bed, but the sound was still the same, and it even seemed to be getting louder.
It was as if something was getting closer and closer to her.
"Xiu …"
She wanted to call Xiu, but at this moment, she was horrified to find that her body didn't listen to her.
Her heart was in a panic, but she immediately regained her composure.
Something was wrong. She didn't have any poison in her body, but her limbs didn't listen to her.
"Elder Sister Ya, what's wrong?"
Hearing her call, Xiu turned around to look at her.
But when she saw Lin Mengya's eyes wide open, she immediately went forward and shook her shoulder.
"I … I can't move …"
"How … how do you feel now, Elder Sister Ya?"
Xiu was also a little panicked. Fortunately, Lin Mengya didn't have any other symptoms except that her limbs didn't listen to her.
"I can't move my hands and feet. Poke me and see if I feel any pain."
Hearing this, Xiu immediately pulled out the hairpin from her hair.
Although she was a little reluctant, she could only make up her mind and poke it into her arm.
The exquisite hairpin had already pierced through her delicate skin, but there was no reaction for a long time.
Lin Mengya's heart sank. Could it be … that she was paralyzed?
At this moment, all the data about her body in the system was fed back to her.
Everything was still normal!
Damn it, could it be that the system was malfunctioning?
"What, what should I do? Elder Sister Ya, I'll go out and call someone. "
"Come back! We can't let them know. "
She was not much better than Xiu in this matter.
After all, she had never felt so out of control. Biting her lower lip, her mind raced.
What should she do? What on earth caused this situation?
Who would have thought that the door would be pushed open at this moment?
She thought that it would be someone from the Mu family who came in, but she didn't expect it to be a man wrapped in a black robe.
The man went straight to her bed, and Xiu bravely stood in front of her, trying to protect her.
Unexpectedly, the man knocked Xiu out as soon as he raised his hand.
"You …"
She widened her eyes and felt a sense of helplessness that she had never felt before, which made her look very fragile.
However, she did not expect that person to stretch out a pair of iron arms and pull her tightly into his embrace.
"Don't be afraid, it's me."
The deep and familiar voice sounded like the sound of nature at this moment.
All the fear and helplessness she felt just now were miraculously smoothed away by him.
For some reason, she felt a lump in her throat.
"What took you so long?"
Her words were soft and soft, and there was even a hint of complaint in them.
