Chapter 1646: Unforgivable for a Lifetime

When the sound of the door closing at the secret passage echoed, someone in the secret room finally noticed it and exclaimed.

Meng Xiaoshu's face changed, instructing the others to stay in the secret room and not expose themselves. He went outside to bring back the two.

However, by the time he went out, Tao Shi and Tao Qin had already gone far.

Fortunately, Jiang Kuanyu had already returned to the front yard at this point, so he didn't see the entrance to the secret room inside the woodshed.

When Meng Xiaoshu chased into the front yard, he saw Tao Qin running towards Jiang Kuanyu.

He was about to intervene, but Tao Shi turned around to stop him, accusing him of being selfish and heartless, claiming he watched without helping.

Meng Xiaoshu was infuriated and pushed Tao Shi aside.

Seeing Meng Xiaoshu's actions, Jiang Kuanyu realized he had likely seen through the act, as their previous relationship wouldn't have led Meng Xiaoshu to stop his wife from saving him.

He dropped the pretense, whistled loudly, and several people immediately appeared in the yard, surrounding Meng Xiaoshu.

Tao Shi and Tao Qin were dumbfounded as the group rushed towards Meng Xiaoshu and even attacked them directly.

Meng Xiaoshu's expression turned grim. He wanted to protect them, but he was outnumbered, so he could only fight his way towards the exit.

Tao Shi and Tao Qin weren't severely injured, but they shivered as they hugged each other, helplessly watching Meng Xiaoshu leave the escort agency.

Inside the secret room, Meng Pei had been keeping an eye on the situation outside. When he heard the sound of the fight, he immediately rushed out.

Other escorts also followed him, and Meng Pei took a few of them.

He then told Meng Qi, who wanted to follow, "Something's fishy about Jiang Kuanyu's appearance. Bandits usually don't show up at the escort agency in broad daylight. There might be something strange going on here. Take care of everyone here and don't come out."

Meng Qi reluctantly withdrew, while Meng Pei went after Meng Xiaoshu.

However, when they reached the front yard, only Tao Shi and Tao Qin, who were injured, remained. Meng Xiaoshu was nowhere to be seen.

Tao Shi and Tao Qin could only say that they left during the fight, and Meng Pei and the escorts immediately went searching.

By this time, patrolling soldiers had arrived on the street, following the commotion and joining the pursuit.

However, by evening, all the escorts, including Gao Shu, had returned, but both Meng Pei and Meng Xiaoshu were still missing.

Gao Shu explained that they couldn't find any trace of the enemy when they chased after them and had to split up to search.

But they had no luck, so they returned first.

Therefore, both Meng Pei and Meng Xiaoshu have been missing for two days and one night now.

Meng Yunzheng's expression was grave as he looked at Tao Shi and Tao Qin, who were huddled in a corner.

Both of them looked very pale. Earlier, Meng Han had suggested that they were both injured, but their wounds had been bandaged.

However, it was surprising that Tao Shi, who had always taken care of Tao Qin, was deliberately keeping her distance and avoiding any contact.

Shu Yu couldn't understand, and Meng Han said awkwardly, "At that time, they were in great danger in the front yard. Several people surrounded my father, and a bandit was about to attack my mother and Tao Qin. However, Tao Qin pushed my mother in front of her to shield her, and my father got slashed in the back while trying to save my mother."

As she spoke, tears welled up in her eyes. "I'm so scared that something might happen to my father. If, if something happens to him, I will never forgive them."

She stared at Tao Shi and Tao Qin with red eyes. Tao Shi opened her mouth as if to say something, but Meng Han turned away, showing no desire to talk to her.
