The Ace Bigshot Becomes A Farmgirl
Chapter 713 - Chapter 713 Chapter 713 Ma Lu Harmed Them

Chapter 713: Chapter 713: Ma Lu Harmed Them Chapter 713: Chapter 713: Ma Lu Harmed Them Shu Yu keenly noticed something off about the glances of a few people, and she raised her eyebrows slightly.

“Don’t tell me, the encounter of Team Five with Big Bear has something to do with you.”

As soon as her words fell, cries and wails of Team Five’s people came from the room, “Bailiff, it was Ma Lu and his gang who harmed us, they schemed against us…”

Ma Lu snorted coldly and walked straight to the doorway of that room, addressing the people inside, “Don’t falsely accuse us of spitting blood. How did we harm you? Was it me who called Big Bear over, who directed it to injure you? If I had that ability, would I need to go hunting in the mountains so laboriously every day? Wouldn’t it be better to have Big Bear deliver the game right to my doorstep?”

“That’s right, I know Team Five doesn’t get along with our Team Three, and now you’ve suffered heavy losses. But you can’t just lash out in desperation and splash all the dirty water on us, can you?”

Team Three’s people stood at the door, tossing out cold remarks, infuriating the man from Team Five so much that he spat out another mouthful of blood.

Shu Yu’s mouth twitched as Fang Xiyue pulled her aside and whispered, “Actually, we didn’t expect Team Five to encounter Big Bear either.”

“So, what exactly happened?”

Fang Xiyue glanced around, and with no officers present, she spoke softly, “Remember the last time Team Five caught a venomous snake trying to kill us, and Young Master Meng dealt with them? We were in a rush to catch a tiger, so we didn’t bother with them then. Today, Ma Lu and his lot said we must avenge our grudges, otherwise, Team Five might think we’re afraid of them.”

So, when Ma Lu found Team Five following them up the mountain, he purposely spoke loudly about the process of hunting the tiger.

Of course, part of it was made up.

Ma Lu said, on the day they encountered the tiger, it wasn’t just one tiger. There was another, slightly smaller one – presumably the cub of that tiger.

They originally spotted the smaller one, and though it wasn’t as robust as the one they had brought down, it was still sizeable, and capturing it would have brought a reward.

To their surprise, as several of them surrounded and had already injured the small tiger, the big tiger appeared. It allowed the small one to escape first, staying behind to deal with them.

After dealing with the big tiger, to avoid any complications, they decided against pursuing the other one and carried this one down the mountain.

They just didn’t know if that injured young tiger was still in the same place and whether its injuries had healed.

They decided to check it out, and if it was still there, during the governor’s stay in Heichang County, they would deliver it, perhaps earning an even larger reward this time.

The group of people decided to act and marched deeply into the mountains.

However, as they were nearly reaching that area, someone from Team Three stepped into emptiness, spraining his ankle, making not just hunting but even walking difficult.

Team Three couldn’t possibly leave him behind alone; their safety was greatly reduced with one less person.

After a discussion, they decided to let the young tiger be for now and return in a few days to check again.

They quickly turned around and left the depths of the mountains.

Those fabricated tales were spoken so fluently by Ma Lu and his group, and naturally, Team Five’s people behind them also heard.

To their misfortune, they believed it and even began to covet the idea: if Team Three wouldn’t hunt, they would.

Hearing that it was just an injured young tiger, they immediately thought it was a golden opportunity, how regrettable it would be to miss out?
