BXBX NOVEL Chapter 256 - 256: A Scare
Meng Yunzheng also saw Shu Yu. He nodded slightly at her and continued to walk forward as if nothing had happened.
Shu Yu put down the payment, took her medicine packet along, and followed after Meng Yunzheng. She only stopped when they left the crowd.
Outside, even if Shu Yu was the only one around, Meng Yunzheng was cautious and did not speak much. He only raised his hand to signal that he was going to start the operation.
Shu Yu nodded. “Then, be careful.”
Meng Yunzheng smiled at Shu Yu and then jumped onto the wall.
Of course, the Jiang family also had guards, but they were powerless before Meng Yunzheng.
The Jiang family was rich, and their house was also very big. Meng Yunzheng looked around and found Jiang Ren’s courtyard.
Unfortunately, Jiang Ren wasn’t in his courtyard.
However, Meng Yunzheng learned from Eldest Young Mistress Jiang that Jiang Ren had gone to visit his younger brother, Jiang Li.
Menz Yunzhenz hesitated for a moment, then turned around and went to
Jiang Li’s courtyard.
Even though a day had already passed, Jiang Li’s courtyard was still a little noisy, especially because of Mother Jiang and Father Jiang’s voices.
One of them was blaming the butler and saying that Jiang Ren had not done his best and that the culprit had not been found.
One of them was comforting Jiang Li, who was obviously in a bad mood, while asking Doctor Liu about Jiang Li’s condition.
Doctor Liu had already boiled the medicine and had someone feed it to Jiang Li.
After Jiang Li finished drinking, his expression turned even worse. He threw the bowl on the ground. “Why is this medicine so bitter? Do you know how to treat patients and prescribe medicine?
Doctor Liu didn’t say a word. He wasn’t a servant of the Jiang family, so he didn’t have to tolerate Jiang Li’s complaints.
In any case, seeing how lively Jiang Li was, it was obvious that he was fine. Doctor Liu immediately bade farewell and left.
Mother Jiang got someone to send Doctor Liu off before turning around to comfort Jiang Li.
Meanwhile, Father Jiang had already left with Jiang Ren and the butler.
Meng Yunzheng stared at Jiang Ren. Upon watching Jiang Ren walk a fair distance but still located not far from Jiang Li’s courtyard, Meng Yunzheng took out the bamboo from his sleeve and threw it at Jiang Ren.
With a swoosh, the bamboo flew across with considerable force.
It brushed past Jiang Ren and stabbed straight into the mud in front of him.
Jiang Ren was shocked. He cried out in alarm and took a few steps back in horror.
The butler and a few servants shouted, “Theres a thief! Quickly protect Eldest Young Master Jiang!’
Many people immediately rushed in the direction where the bamboo with a sharpened tip was shot, but Meng Yunzheng had already changed his position.
He didn’t leave and stayed in the Jiang residence to watch the follow-up.
The news of Jiang Ren’s situation quickly reached Jiang Li’s courtyard. Father
Jiang ran out and asked, “What happened?”
The butler hurriedly explained, “Just now, an arrow was shot at the Eldest
Young Master. Someone wanted to harm Eldest Young Master. Fortunately, Eldest Young Master was alert and dodged quickly.”
Father Jiang’s heart jumped. At that moment, someone had already found the bamboo with a sharpened tip and ran over to hand it to Father Jiang.
Seeing that it was just an ordinary bamboo with a sharpened tip, everyone’s expressions changed for a moment.
Looking at the note stuck on the tip of the bamboo, Father Jiang quickly reached out and pulled it out to read.
In the next moment, his expression changed as he looked sharply at Jiang Ren.
Jiang Ren’s heart skipped a beat. He had a bad feeling. “Father, what’s written on the note?”
Father Jiang threw the paper over, and Jiang Ren quickly took it to read.
Then, he saw a clear line of words: “Eldest Young Master Jiang, I advise you to leave some leeway for others in the future. Otherwise, Third Young Master Jiang won’t be the only one injured next time..”
