“Of course we were called over. Master and I originally planned to look for you first, but we were summoned back by the people from the palace. They said that there was a large group of people who needed treatment, so we ended up here.”
When Ah Yu heard this, she felt that this matter couldn’t be so simple.
The collapse of a quarry was a huge accident for ordinary people, but it wouldn’t alarm the people in the palace.
There was no reason for them to send Grandpa Divine Doctor Xue and Big Sister Liang Xue here. They were not considered imperial physicians of the palace!
Recalling the Eldest Prince’s hesitant expression just now, Ah Yu had a vague guess.
Was the collapse of this quarry and the Eldest Prince buried inside really just a coincidence?
[Kid, the mission is only one last step away from completion. Now, bring a few powerful people to the back of the mountain to catch the mastermind!]
Meatball issued the mission in time.
Actually, this mission required Ah Yu to find relevant clues and investigate them one by one. In the end, she would follow the clues and find the key evidence. Finally, she would go to the back of the mountain to reveal the identity of the murderer.
How could Meatbail bear to see Ah Yu go through so much trouble? It immediately expanded its energy circle and gathered all the sounds in a radius of 50 kilometers. Then, it analyzed crazily and finally found the key point.
Without thinking, Ah Yu turned around to look for Qin Huai. She didn’t forget to say to Liang Xue, “Big Sister Liang Xue, I’m going to do something very important later. Please tell my mother and the others that I’ll be back soon.”
Liang Xue: “Why don’t you tell them yourself?”
Ah Yu chuckled. “If 1 say it, they’ll be afraid that I’ll be tired. I don’t want them to worry.”
However, what Ah Yu didn’t say was that if they knew that she was going to bring people to capture the mastermind, they would definitely try their best to stop her.
This was a secret matter involving the royal family!
Ah Yu returned to the room and saw the Eldest Prince struggling to drink hot tea. She asked him, “Eldest Prince, are all your people here? Are there a hundred of them?”
The Eldest Prince: “Why?”
“Oh, 1 found a few suspicious people who ran to the back of the mountain. Another villager told me that there seems to be something amazing in the back of the mountain. If you have enough people, you might be able to gain something if you hurry over now!”
The Eldest Prince couldn’t care less about his pain and immediately called his people over. After instructing them, a team of about 40 to 50 people stood in front of Ah Yu.
Ah Yu still wanted to tell Qin Huai when she saw some Crimson Guards and ordinary guards come out. They stood behind her and protected All Yu with the people in front.
Ah Yu smiled until her eyes narrowed.
“Let’s go.”
Qin Huai didn’t ask where they were going and left.
Little Lamb that had helped dig for a long time came over from the side and was also waved at by Ah Yu. “Little Lamb, let’s go. I need you very much now.”
After these people left quickly, someone narrowed his eyes and turned to run in the other direction.
In the end, after running a few steps, he was covered in a sack.
Wang Wulang clapped his hands and said to Wang Silang, who was busy tying that person up, “Fourth Brother, looks like you’re still not stupid from studying. Your skills haven’t fallen behind at all!”
Wang Silang: “…Move aside.”
Of course, Ah Yu wouldn’t tell everyone. She had long relied on all kinds of secret actions to send a letter to Wang Wulang and the others. As expected, they caught him.
Deep in the mountain, in a cave, a few people surrounded a hooded person with heavy expressions.
“The Eldest Prince has been saved. We’ve failed half of this mission.”
“No, we still have a chance,” someone said fiercely. “They all think that this is just an ordinary mine collapse and are busy saving people. The Eldest Prince doesn’t have any guards at all. As long as we cooperate from the inside and outside, we can directly—”
This person made a gesture of cutting his neck, his eyes very ruthless.
But the hooded man shook his head and said in a slightly hoarse voice, “No need.”
The others were anxious. “The Eldest Prince saw something he shouldn’t have. Master, you can’t be soft-hearted at this time. That will ruin our plan!”
“Huh?” The hooded man turned to the person who spoke and struck out unexpectedly.
That person was sent flying and smashed into the stone wall of the cave. He spat out a mouthful of blood and fell to the ground, unconscious.
When the others saw this, they didn’t dare to say anything.
The hooded man slowly retracted his palm and said, “I won’t repeat myself. Do you understand?”
Seeing that everyone was silent like cicadas in winter, he was very satisfied and said, “That trash Qin Qin is a dead person after all. There’s no need to care. Our top priority is to—”
Before he could finish speaking, someone interrupted.
“Is it to surrender yourself?” The delicate female voice was innocent, as if she was really curious about the second half of the sentence.
The sound seemed to have come from outside the cave..
