This Person Must Be A Liar
Jiang Yimian also felt distressed watching, briefly checked Jiang Dazhuang’s wounds, discovering several were inflamed and infected, some fused with his clothes, looking bloody and messy.
Due to the infected wounds, he was running a fever, seemingly for several days, the situation wasn’t good.
Jiang Yimian first briefly treated his wounds, then gave him fever medicine before saying, “We need to leave; his injuries are too severe. The lighting here is poor, and there’s too much dust.”
Though relieved Jiang Dazhuang still had a pulse, his condition was still distressing.
If Wang Fengqin knew, she’d probably cry her eyes out.
Thankfully, we arrived in time to save him.
Lu Cijian nodded, staring at the man he had grabbed by the collar, coldly saying, “Besides leaving through the mine shaft, are there any other ways out?”
Zhao Xiaonian stared at the two for a while before nodding.
Lu Cijian then pulled the rag from his mouth.
Finally able to speak, Zhao Xiaonian stared intently at Jiang Yimian, suspiciously asking, “Who are you, and what are you doing here?”
Though he saw the girl saving Uncle Jiang, suspicion remained.
Why would others be on the mountain, and specifically find this secluded place to save Uncle Jiang? It was suspicious.
Jiang Yimian simply said, “He is my father.”
This immediately widened Zhao Xiaonian’s eyes. He stared at Jiang Yimian for a long time, examining her from head to toe before saying, “You’re really his daughter? You’re lying.”
He remembered Uncle Jiang describing his daughter as shy and gentle. This person didn’t fit that description at all.
Therefore, this person must be a fraud.
Thinking this, he became dissatisfied, “Stop lying! Whatever you want, leave now. I won’t report you, but you can’t take Uncle Jiang.”
Who knows what these two are doing? What if they kill Uncle Jiang?
Uncle Liu is already dead; only Uncle Jiang is left.
Jiang Yimian ignored him, saying to Lu Cijian, “Ask Wang Jinbao if he knows of other routes.”
If there are no other routes, she’ll put him in her space and leave through the mine shaft.
Though risky, she had no other choice.
Wang Jinbao quickly entered, frowning and saying, “There is another route, but we can’t use it; it’s heavily guarded.”
He didn’t know where that path led, only that the mined iron ore was transported there. Occasionally, he could hear hammering sounds, it was very strange.
Suddenly, a loud commotion and hurried footsteps were heard outside.
“Quickly, catch them! Someone escaped again, and they even knocked out the overseer!”
“This is terrible! No one will eat today. What bastard dared to escape and cause trouble?!”
“Who knows? Find them quickly, or we’ll all suffer.”
At that time, in the shed outside the mine shaft.
A flustered miner quickly told a burly man, “Brother Zhao, it’s bad! Several overseers were knocked unconscious in the mine tunnel; someone may have escaped.”
The burly man stood up in anger, scolding, “Then hurry and see what’s going on! Don’t tell the leader. Seal off the mine shaft; no one is allowed up without my orders. I want to see who dares to escape!”
The miner quickly nodded, “I’ve already sent people to look. I think they haven’t escaped yet.”
The burly man coldly snorted, “Good. Catch them quickly.”
The miner responded and quickly ran off.
The others in the shed felt something was wrong.
“Brother Zhao, something’s wrong. How did those miners manage to knock out several overseers?”
“Yeah, let’s tell Leader Zhang. Maybe someone infiltrated.”
The burly man said impatiently, “Do you think anyone can just infiltrate?
Not to mention the Great Stone Gate, even the villa at the foot of the mountain, do you think the people there are just eating for free? If someone could infiltrate, they’d all be dead.
Besides, there are many powerful people on this mountain. Even if someone infiltrated, they wouldn’t get out alive.
Don’t tell Leader Zhang; he’s happy about something he made recently. If we tell him, we’ll get a beating.
Come on, let’s continue. I won the last round; I’ll bet high again.”
Seeing his confident demeanor, everyone relaxed and continued the game.
Inside the cave, shouts and scolding filled the air.
Lu Cijian quickly said, “The unconscious men have probably been discovered. Let’s go quickly; we can’t use the mine shaft.”
He quickly stepped forward and carefully carried the person from the haystack.
Jiang Yimian looked at Wang Jinbao, “Lead the way. If we’re discovered, we’ll have trouble escaping.”
The main group hasn’t arrived yet; they can’t be exposed. They must make it seem like someone merely tried to escape.
Wang Jinbao nodded, “Okay, I’ll lead you, but there are many guards there; they may be more dangerous than the miners here.”
Several people quickly left, heading deeper into the cave.
Seeing this, Zhao Xiaonian, forgetting his doubts, quickly followed.
If Uncle Jiang is discovered, he’ll be fed to wolves. He has to protect him.
Meanwhile, inside Dragon Mountain Villa.
Lin Yanan feigned surprise, looking around the estate, occasionally exclaiming about its grandeur.
But inwardly, he was cursing, when would Zhu Shichang, that bastard, arrive? He didn’t want to stay in this broken villa.
Passing a pavilion paved with jade, he said, “This Young Master is tired. You may leave; I’ll rest here.”
The maid who followed him clapped her hands. Several scantily-clad girls walked over and tried to approach Lin Yanan.
He was startled, frowned, and stood up, displeased, “What common women? So ugly! Get lost!
This villa is nothing special! There aren’t even pretty girls.
When is Lord Zhu coming? I’m tired of these ugly things!”
Various girls tried to approach him along the way, driving him mad. This corrupt official wasn’t afraid of being drained of his energy in this villa.
The maid was clearly stunned, confused about his preferences.
Anyone who passed through the long corridor would find someone they liked. This person, however, found everyone ugly.
Either his eyesight was poor, or he’d seen a celestial beauty.
Or maybe he doesn’t like girls?
