Chapter 397: Chapter 395: Totally Unexpected, Such an Outcome! _1
Seeing their group, the two of them were obviously very surprised!
"Can I ask, do any of you two know a young man named Lui Muyi?"
Qin Yi quickly stepped forward and asked courteously.
"Oh, so you’re looking for Boss Lui! He’s over there. Let’s go, we were just heading back anyway, you can follow us."
Boss Lui?
What kind of title was that?
Su Pan’er and Qin Yi exchanged glances, their faces full of perplexity.
Despite the odd feeling, they managed to quickly follow the two men, knowing where Lui Muyi was staying.
As they rounded the mountain, they reached the other side of the peak. The sky was obscured by the surrounding trees and the incoming mountain breeze gave everyone a sense of refreshment, as if they had arrived at a cool summer retreat.
Walking slightly further, they arrived at a well-arranged cool shed.
One of the guides then shouted, "Boss Lui, Boss Lui! Someone’s looking for you!"
"Who would look for me in this godforsaken place?"
A surprised voice sounded from the cool shed. Lui Muyi emerged, wearing prisoner’s clothes and nibbling on a piece of watermelon.
Upon seeing the group, he paused in surprise!
Then his face lit up in delight!
He hurriedly rushed forward, "Su... Doctor Su, Scholar Qin, Miss Jun, why are you all here? Come, come in quickly and enjoy the cool."
There was a table in the cool shed loaded with fried broad beans, cold fern salad, field snails, Mountain Chicken, pickled fish, and a pot of Yellow Wine. On the side was a half-eaten watermelon, and scattered Pai Jiu cards. Next to it were two men, who looked like errand officials, sitting and drinking.
It was obvious that before their arrival, the group had been enjoying wine, meat, and games.
Seeing them come, the two officials paused.
Lui Muyi quickly introduced, "These are my family members, they’ve traveled a long way to see me."
"I see."
The two officials bowed and greeted them casually before excusing themselves.
Su Pan’er glared at Lui Muyi.
"So that’s how Young Master Lui is enjoying his days! Are you suffering here or are you on a vacation? If we had known this, we wouldn’t have bothered coming!"
She was at a loss for words!
Before coming here, she had imagined every possible scenario of meeting Lui Muyi again.
Perhaps he would be in dire straits, beaten and scolded by the officials, or perhaps he would be carrying heavy stones laboriously, or maybe he would be so ill that he could not even lift his head...
But she never anticipated something like this!
The person that she had been so worried about, who she thought must be suffering in the construction site, was actually sitting in a cool shed, enjoying the breeze while eating meat, watermelon, and drinking wine.
Anyone encountering this situation would probably not feel too much better.
Feeling awkward, Lui Muyi hurriedly tossed away the watermelon in his hand.
"Hehe, just messing around! As you know, there’s not much entertainment in the mountains, so all I could do is play a few rounds of Pai Jiu for fun."
He swiftly collected the Pai Jiu cards from the table and invited them to sit down.
"Oh, indeed! Young Master Lui sure has a lot of ways to entertain himself!"
Su Pan’er glared at him and picked a stool to sit down.
Even Miss Jun wore a strange face.
As they all sat down,
Lui Muyi scratched his chin and coughed awkwardly: "Not at all! It’s just my way of laughing through adversity! Come, come, let’s drink."
Saying that, he quickly fetched wine cups and filled them for each one.
"We’ll pass on the wine, just bring us some water."
They were all thirsty after traveling on the mountain path for quite a while and had no appetite for wine.
Seeing the remaining pieces of watermelon being shared by Jun Ruoxue and Zhou Ning, Su Pan’er could only ask for some water.
"Right, what was I thinking."
Lui Muyi slapped his forehead and quickly turned around to order someone.
Soon, someone came with a big bucket of water.
"This is genuine Mountain Spring water, ice-cold, sweet, and crystal-clear, it’s the best thirst-quencher!"
Lui Muyi laughed heartily, "Don’t rush, I have already ordered some more watermelon and a few extra dishes, it will just be a moment."
Their expressions somewhat relaxed at that.
When the food was served, everyone forgot their frustrations and began eating and drinking.
"Feel free to eat and drink, these are all collected by my brothers from the mountain."
Lui Muyi chuckled, "Traveling all this way is not easy! I guess you all want to know why the prestigious Eldest Young Master Lui has ended up this way? Feel free to ask any questions or express any thoughts, it’s nice and cool here, we can chat leisurely."
Seeing Lui Muyi’s carefree demeanor, Su Pan’er was frustrated.
"How dare you, Lui Muyi, all of us were worried sick about you, turns out you’re hiding here enjoying yourself."
Unable to hold back, she reproached, "Honesty is the best policy, resist and suffer! Confess! What kind of shady business have you been up to? How did you become involved with the blacksmith’s mistress? Spill it all, otherwise, you will get your just deserts today!"
Turning around to Qin Yi, she said, "Qin Yi, listen well! If he tells a single lie, serve him a beating with a big stick immediately!"
Qin Yi couldn’t help but chuckle!
Quickly, he picked up a twig as thick as a little finger and held it up.
He responded seriously, "Following your orders, wife! Brother Lui, confess quickly, otherwise, the stick in my hand doesn’t recognize anyone!"
Jun Ruoxue saw the couple’s playful act and couldn’t help laughing.
Lui Muyi laughed until he had a stomach ache but finally managed to stop.
He quickly pretended to be scared and said, "Doctor Su, Scholar Qin, please spare me! I...I will explain the ins and outs of everything. Please don’t use the big stick!"
"Speak!"
Su Pan’er couldn’t help but burst into laughter.
"Here’s how it happened."
Lui Muyi coughed and said seriously, "Doctor Su, Brother Qin, do you want to hear the truth or a lie?"
"Nonsense, of course the truth, Deputy County Magistrate Su has already been jailed, what are you scared of?"
Su Pan’er couldn’t help but roll her eyes in exasperation and said irritably.
She hastily recounted the happenings in Yongze County.
"We’ve already learned from Old Xue that Su Sikong commanded your family’s Shopkeeper Cao and the fraudulent Doctor Hu to make counterfeit medicine, and we also know that fraudulent Doctor Hu is in Changze County. You don’t need to talk about these things. Just explain why you were imprisoned!"
Lui Muyi stared blankly for a moment, took a while to snap back to reality.
"So you already knew all that. I won’t elaborate further. In order to obtain definitive evidence, I came to Changze County, got the suicide note from Shopkeeper Cao, and discovered..."
