The Ace Bigshot Becomes A Farmgirl Chapter 1690: This Person Cannot Be Allowed to Live

Upon hearing Jiang Kuanyu’s na, Xia Yi’s expression turned serious. "Unfortunately, he escaped from the jaws of those two jackals."

ng Pei suddenly looked at her, "You saw him just now?"

Xia Yi nodded, "Not only that, I also saw Fifth Guo."

"Who is Fifth Guo?" Shu Yu asked while ripping a cloth strip.

Xia Yi explained, "There are a total of five stewards in the black market. Boss Ke oversees the entire black market, while Second Fu to Fifth Guo manage different industries. Fifth Guo happens to be in charge of the art house where we entertain guests, and also manages the Beast Camp and the Dueling Field, which are handled by Second Fu. The gambling den is managed by Third Wu, and Fourth Chang is in charge of labor and personnel trading. These are just the general directions of managent, and underneath them are other stewards, like Jiang Kuanyu, who is under Third Wu."

This was all intelligence Xia Yi had gathered while undercover in the black market recently.

"Boss Ke and Second Fu took their trusted aides to the capital so ti ago, and Third Wu and Fourth Chang also went to the neighboring county two days ago to partake in the upcoming struggle. Therefore, the black market is currently under Fifth Guo’s managent. I’ve heard that Fifth Guo hasn’t been here long; he only took over the art house from the previous steward last November."

In other words, he has only been here for a year.

No wonder he’s left in the black market, managing these scattered people.

Xia Yi said, "Just now I saw him rush over with his people. He ordered the ferocious beasts to be shot dead or subdued and tied up, and they are currently tending to those injured by bites."

Shu Yu found it a bit strange. "Isn’t Fifth Guo dissatisfied and slack in his duty? Why did it take him so long to react?"

Quite a bit of ti had passed since the beasts escaped.

At the very least, they had reached the Beast Camp to rendezvous with ng Pei, and then ca here to find Uncle ng to start bandaging his wounds.

Xia Yi’s expression beca complicated, unsure of how to say that she saw Fifth Guo earlier, looking sowhat disheveled, with red marks on his face. Clearly, he was fooling around with a girl on the third floor and was interrupted midway, forcing him to co out and handle the matter, right?

She didn’t want to say this to Shu Yu, so she vaguely said, "The black market is quite large, he was probably a bit far away."

Young Master He on the side thought her expression was odd when she said this.

Xia Yi swiftly changed the topic, "By the way, when I entered, I saw Jiang Kuanyu run to his side, and he should notify Head Escort ng about the rescue imdiately. Probably... suspect it was the ng family. This person can’t be left alive."

ng Yunzheng nodded, "Indeed, he can’t be left alive."

He stood up, pressing the Soft Sword at his waist, and said to ng Pei, "Father, I’ll leave Uncle to you. This is a rare opportunity, I’ll go deal with Fifth Guo."

ng Pei agreed, "Don’t worry, I’ve been by Elder Zhao’s side for so many years, always assisting him, I’m very familiar with handling these injuries. As long as there are dicines, you don’t need to worry about your uncle. But you, are you okay by yourself? Fifth Guo certainly has many skilled people by his side."

Xia Yi stood up, "I’ll go too."

ng Yunzheng furrowed his brows, "Your identity..."

"Given the circumstances, there’s no need to hide anymore. Lord instructed before leaving to act as necessary. I think now is the opportunity." The capital must be in chaos by now, and her life undercover is almost over.
