Shu Yu finally finished eating and took the handkerchief handed over by Ying Xi to wipe her mouth, before eting Ms. Tao’s eager gaze.
"Uncle Tao, indeed, I saw him in the mountain bandits’ den."
Ms. Tao and several mbers of the Zhang Clan’s eyes lit up, "Then..."
"But I have a few questions I’d like to ask Aunt Tao."
Everyone was stunned for a mont, and Ms. Tao hurriedly said, "Whatever questions you have, ask them after we rescue him first. That’s the mountain bandits’ den, the longer Feili stays there, the greater the danger."
"No rush, so questions need to be clarified first."
Ms. Tao was a bit impatient and was about to say sothing when ng Qi pulled her back.
She could only furrow her brows and say, "Fine, fine, ask away."
Shu Yu looked at Mrs. Zhang, "Aunt Tao just said that on that night the mountain bandits broke into the Tao Family and directly took Uncle Tao away, right?"
Mrs. Zhang nodded.
Shu Yu laughed, "That’s strange. To my knowledge, that night only the wealthy families in the city had people taken. If mountain bandits broke into common people’s hos, they would kill them directly. The Tao Family isn’t a wealthy family, why did the mountain bandits take him?"
Mrs. Zhang’s face suddenly changed, and she lowered her head tightly.
ng Qi nodded, "Yes, Aunt, why did they take Uncle away? Those wealthy families were taken for ransom. Did they also ask Aunt for ransom? How much?"
ng Qi had been puzzled these past two days. The day before yesterday, his father woke up and only asked if he had seen Uncle Tao and then asked where his Eldest Uncle was, telling him to quickly go back and inform Eldest Uncle that Jiang Kuanyu took him for the ng family’s sword and to be careful.
Other than that, Uncle ng lacked the energy to say more.
ng Qi bid farewell to Shu Yu and imdiately returned to the ng family’s escort agency to report the situation to ng Pei. Who would have known Eldest Uncle had already gotten the information from Jiang Kuanyu and told him there was no need to worry.
ng Qi remained confused, but was kept busy running around these past two days, with Eldest Uncle and older brother even busier, so he temporarily set aside his doubts.
Regarding Uncle’s situation, he really was unaware.
Concerned over Uncle’s disappearance, his mind was heavy with doubt.
After asking that question, ng Qi stared at Mrs. Zhang, but she lowered her head even more.
She muttered, "I, I, I," for a long ti, but couldn’t manage to say a word.
Eventually, she could only shout to Ms. Tao, "I don’t know, how would I know what those mountain bandits are thinking? They commit all sorts of evil, taking whoever they want. Perhaps, perhaps they just had a sudden whim and took him? Sister-in-law, let’s rescue him first, then ask the child’s father and it’ll be clear!"
Ms. Tao opened her mouth, indeed, the imdiate priority was to rescue him.
She looked at Shu Yu again, but Shu Yu just smiled, "Alright, let’s assu the mountain bandits suddenly lost their minds. Then the second question, why did they co to ng family to take Little Uncle a few days after Uncle Tao was taken?"
Mrs. Zhang’s eyes widened, her expression becoming increasingly guilty.
Shu Yu was now convinced that Uncle ng being taken was Uncle Tao’s doing.
Not only was Shu Yu convinced, but ng Qi also realized it, seeing Mrs. Zhang’s expression, he understood completely.
Ms. Tao frowned, feeling Shu Yu’s questions sowhat unreasonable, purely causing trouble.
She was about to stop it, but over there ng Qi suddenly shouted angrily, "Aunt, did Uncle betray my father?"
