Chapter 396: Chapter 394: Not good, let’s run fast!_1

With the recommendation from Old Xue, Su Pan’er smoothly secured the task of heading to the river to contain an epidemic.

She and Qin Yi immediately set off for the riverbank with the disaster relief supplies and medicinal ingredients. Their drivers were none other than Uncle Xiao and Zhou Ning.

In addition, the little tail-like Jun Ruoxue and the rascal pig tagged along.

Upon arriving at the riverbank, they naturally went through a series of handovers.

Seeing that the disaster relief materials were properly arranged and the epidemic management was almost complete, Su Pan’er immediately took advantage of the situation. She approached Inspector Feng, who was responsible for local affairs, and asked about what concerned her the most.

"Inspector Feng, is there a suspect named Lui Muyi here? Could you arrange for us to meet him? We would like to understand some specifics from him."

Inspector Feng looked at Su Pan’er up and down: "Lui Muyi? What makes Doctor Su think of finding such a deceitful person?"

This remark made Su Pan’er pause.

"Inspector Feng, what a joke you have cracked. The case has been concluded, but the imperial court’s document has not been issued, right? If so, how can he be labelled as a deceitful person?" As she spoke, Su Pan’er stealthily passed two silver coins to one of his followers.

"This..."

Inspector Feng naturally noticed this move.

After clearing his throat and giving a quick glance around, he laughed: "Doctor Su is correct. My words were mistaken. However, since Lui Muyi is a repeat offender, he is currently guarded by the yamen runners. Let me inquire and see if I can arrange a meeting through a die plate. Please wait for a moment."

As he spoke, he turned and walked away.

He returned soon after, all smiles, and handed over the die plate: "I have inquired about the whereabouts of Lui Muyi. Since you are not familiar with the roads, how about I arrange for someone to accompany you there?"

"Thank you kindly, sir," Qin Yi quickly responded with a bow.

Then, Qin Yi, Su Pan’er, and their companions said their goodbyes to Inspector Feng and followed the man he had appointed towards the place where Lui Muyi was serving his sentence.

Once they had left, the follower quickly offered the two silver coins: "Sir, these are for you. These people seem to know how to behave appropriately. However, if the case of that Lui is overturned, you..."

"Put your thoughts away. Do you think this is an everlasting business?"

Inspector Feng glared at him: "Do not assume I am as naive as you are. I am aware that Lui has someone supporting him from the imperial court. You better act modestly. I am aware of all the benefits you have taken under my nose. Normally, I would let it pass since it allows us all to earn a living. But remember, when you are meant to stop, you should. Understand?"

"Yes, yes, yes. You are right, sir. I understand and will arrange it immediately. Hehe."

The follower’s face was all smiles.

Su Pan’er, Qin Yi, and the others, followed the path showed by the guide the entire way, passing along the extended riverbank to reach a mountain.

Without uttering a word, the guide led them straight up the mountain.

Su Pan’er and Qin Yi exchanged puzzled looks.

Upon climbing halfway up the mountain, the guide pointed to a deep pit covered in holes and then saluted the group before turning back.

"You’re looking for Lui Muyi, right? He’s over there. Go find him yourselves. I have to report back to my boss and will not accompany you."

"We appreciate your help. Here, take this and have a drink. We’ll not see you off."

Qin Yi immediately offered him some silver coins.

"Good, good."

Once he disappeared from view, the group followed the indicated direction, continuing along the rocky mountain path.

"Isn’t Lui Muyi supposed to be serving his sentence at the riverbank? Why did that guy lead us to the mountains? Could he have led us astray?"

Su Pan’er was slightly confused.

"Could he?"

Qin Yi was also puzzled: "Discounting common courtesies, we’re here for disaster relief, they wouldn’t prank us, right? It must be that Young Master Lui is indeed in the mountains."

"Ah! I get it now!"

Jun Ruoxue came over with an "I’ve figured it out" look: "They’re definitely being lazy and have relocated to the mountains. This way they can cool off."

Su Pan’er and Qin Yi exchanged glances, but neither said anything and continued their journey. Jun Ruoxue pouted as she seemed unhappy.

"What’s wrong? Can’t you believe what I’m saying or what? I’m just stating the facts... Hey, wait for me, don’t leave me behind..."

But Su Pan’er, Qin Yi, and the others had already walked a considerable distance.

She and Zi Lan were left behind.

Only the rascal pig looked back at her, squinted its eyes smugly, wagged its little pig tail, and then chased after Su Pan’er.

"None of you knows how to appreciate women... Hmph!"

She hurriedly rushed after the group.

They continued their journey on the mountain trail until they reached a deep pit filled with holes.

Then they heard a string of metallic sounds.

Su Pan’er and Qin Yi exchanged a look, each seeing doubt in the other’s eyes.

"Could it be...?"

"Could it be what?"

As curious as always, Jun Ruoxue moved closer to the pair.

"It might be, let’s go check it out."

As the group climbed further, they reached a clearing. Before they could understand what was going on, they noticed someone high up on the hill waving at them.

"Hey, look at that man on the top of the hill, is he trying to say something to us?"

Jun Ruoxue pointed at the man.

Su Pan’er hesitated for a moment then shouted in alarm. "No good! We need to run. Now!"

She reached out, grabbed Jun Ruoxue, and ran towards the side.

Though uncertain of what was happening, Qin Yi instinctively began to run as well. Zhou Ning and Zi Lan also hurriedly followed suit.

The quickest was, of course, the rascal pig. In a swift movement, it ran ahead of Su Pan’er, constantly looking back as it ran.

Before the group could get far, a thunderous explosion resounded from within the mountain causing it to shake violently.

"Get down!"

With a loud shout, Su Pan’er was the first to collapse to the ground.

The rest of the group followed suit and hit the deck.

Only after the mountain had stopped shaking, did Su Pan’er slowly get up.

"Let’s go, let’s go see."

The group cautiously approached the previously indicated hole.

"Sister Pan’er, what was that? Was it an earthquake?" Jun Ruoxue asked as she leaned in.

Su Pan’er shook her head. "That wasn’t an earthquake, it should have been..."

"Cough, cough. Damn it! That was a narrow escape. Finally, I managed to escape death. This job isn’t fit for humans; every time we use explosives to blast the mountain and mine stone, it’s like turning through the Gates of Hell. Cough, cough, cough..."

As the words ended, two figures, each supporting the other, crawled out of the pit.

Their bodies were covered in dust, and their eyeballs were spinning in their sockets.
