Chapter 1703: Chapter 1703: Someone Has Come to Save Us

Yu, upon seeing the shadow of a person, immediately presses his left hand on his right wrist.

The other party whispers, "Yu?"

Shu Yu raises his head and sees Meng Yunzheng coming out from the shadows. Joyfully, he says, "You’re back? How did it go? Are you hurt?"

"No." Meng Yunzheng briefly explains what happened, then speaks up, "I’m planning to find Jiang Kuanyu now."

"No need to go; Jiang Kuanyu has been tied up, drugged, and Uncle Meng is currently interrogating him."

Upon hearing that, Meng Yunzheng relaxes, "Where are you heading?"

"To the prison, to free people."

Meng Yunzheng is taken aback, then laughs, surprised that Yu had the same thought.

"Let’s go, together."

They smile at each other and quickly head towards the direction of the prison.

Young Master He, "..." feels like his eyes are being dazzled.

And, did you forget someone is still behind you?

Slow down a bit, he’s scared; what if someone suddenly jumps out?

The three are familiar with this area and soon arrive at the entrance of the prison.

Over at the Beast Camp, there are still people working, but there’s not even a guard over here at the prison, which shows just how understaffed the black market is.

The three walk through the doors unimpeded and pause when passing the first cell.

The mountain bandit had mentioned that the outermost two cells held laborers working in the black market, so their numbers are high, and their expressions are numb. They didn’t recognize them and weren’t sure if they would help.

To avoid unnecessary trouble, they decide not to release them for now.

The three continue forward; the people in the two cells only glance up at them, and seeing them wear the attire of the black market, they habitually bow their heads again.

Upon reaching the cells of the wealthy youths, the people inside are wary, watching them and quickly retreating.

Meng Yunzheng looks at Young Master He, who nods, steps forward, and says, "Uncle Yang, Brother He, Brother Li, it’s me, He Er."

Young Master He ranks second in the family, so everyone habitually calls him He Er.

Upon hearing a familiar voice, the people in the cell are stunned in unison, surprised and looking up.

Especially those whom He Er called by name, they carefully scrutinize him.

To stay hidden, He Er was wearing black market clothes and smeared some blood on his face, looking very disheveled. But up close, he was easily recognizable.

The middle-aged man called Uncle Yang joyfully steps forward, grabs the bars, and incredulously says, "Nephew, you’re alive? Weren’t you taken away to the Beast Camp?"

He Er pats his chest, points to the shadow on the ground, "Yes, I’m alive, I was rescued. Someone came to save us. This is Meng Yunzheng, Young Master Meng, this year’s Scholar of our county town, and this is Scholar Meng’s fiancée, Monarch Lu Xiang."

Upon hearing that someone came to rescue them, everyone crowded to the front of the bars.

Realizing Meng Yunzheng’s identity, they look at him with eyes full of anticipation.

"Did someone really come to save us?"

"Is it that Young Master Meng who aced the exams?"

"Have the people outside been dealt with?"

He Er, seeing them all chattering, doesn’t know how to respond.

Meng Yunzheng reminds him, "Keep it brief."

He Er nods repeatedly, quickly calming them, "Everyone, quiet down, let me explain the situation."
