Chapter 1704: Young Master He's Second Cousin

The crowd looked at each other, and under the guidance of a middle-aged man named Uncle Yang, they stopped their inquiries.

Young Master He spoke quickly, "We've been through several incidents before, and the mishap at the Beast Camp was caused by Young Master Meng and his group. Now there are roughly thirty people left in the black market, and they're all a bunch of misfits. The major overseers are all gone, Manager Guo Laowu, and his underlings are dead. Jiang Kuanyu has also been captured."

Upon hearing this, the crowd's faces lit up with delight. Thirty-something people? And the managers are dead, so they have no one to rely on?

This is truly a golden opportunity.

Young Master He continued, "Although the numbers aren't large, they're still a threat. Young Master Meng and Lu Xiangjun are skilled, but after going through several major battles, they are exhausted. So, we need your help. I know some of you have learned martial arts, and dealing with ordinary bandits shouldn't be a problem. With your assistance, we can quickly capture everyone here, leave this wretched place as soon as possible."

Around ten people with martial arts skills, led by Uncle Yang, immediately agreed, "No problem, we'll help. These bastards have caused us so much suffering; I've wanted to take them down for a long time."

"Yes, count me in too. They've tortured us so miserably; it's time to give them a taste of their own medicine."

Young Master He looked at Meng Yunzheng and Shu Yu, then smiled and said, "Alright, we'll release you now. Those without martial skills, brothers, just wait here for us. Once we've captured everyone, we'll come back to get you."

After saying that, Meng Yunzheng broke the lock with one swing.

The ten or so individuals who were speaking stepped out from the crowd, while others, though they wanted to leave as well, exchanged glances and ultimately gave up. This was their only chance, and they were self-aware enough not to be a burden.

Seeing this, Young Master He secretly breathed a sigh of relief and quickly walked towards the cell. As he walked, he asked Uncle Yang, "Uncle Yang, how's my cousin doing?"

Uncle Yang let out a sigh and pointed inside, "He's running a fever."

Young Master He's expression changed slightly, and he quickened his pace. In no time, he carried out a five or six-year-old child from inside.

He walked directly up to Shu Yu, a hint of pleading in his expression, "Lu Xiangjun, do you have any fever-reducing medicine? This is my cousin; he's burning up and needs something to bring down his fever."

He noticed Meng Yunzheng handing a bunch of medicine to Shu Yu earlier, although he didn't know the specifics of those drugs. But Young Master Meng had suffered severe injuries and had a slight fever. After taking a few pills, he seemed to be much better.

Shu Yu was surprised, "Your cousin?"

Young Master He nodded. Yesterday, when his cousin started feeling unwell, he asked the black market's people to find a doctor. They grew impatient, and Young Master He couldn't help but scold them. As a result, they dragged him away without a word, intending to send him to the Beast Camp to be fed to the beasts.

However, this was how he crossed paths with Meng Pei, which saved his life.

After narrowly escaping danger, he had wanted to rush over and check on his cousin's condition, but the danger outside hadn't subsided. Guo Laowu and Jiang Kuanyu hadn't been captured yet, and he, a powerless scholar, wouldn't be of any help. He could even risk involving the Meng family.

So, even though he was worried, he endured Meng Yunzheng's actions against Guo Laowu and Jiang Kuanyu's capture, waiting until Shu Yu suggested releasing the people from the cell.
