Fortunately, San Lai Zi and his gang were in the right place at the right time. They saw the old beggar stumbling around, looking unwell. Later, they noticed that he hadn't left his house for two days, so they decided to check on him. To their surprise, they found the old beggar unconscious and seriously ill.
Shu Yu furrowed her brows, "Who was the person that approached you?"
"I don't know."
"How did he promise to give you silver?"
The stammering San Lai Zi replied, "He said that in five days, oh, that's the day after tomorrow. He told us to wait for him at the Yuelai Inn in Huajiang Prefecture, and he'll give us the silver after the job is done."
The day after tomorrow?
Shu Yu nodded. She had gathered enough information, so she instructed Ying Xi to keep an eye on San Lai Zi while she returned to the room.
Coincidentally, Meng Yunzheng was about to come out, and the two almost collided.
Meng Yunzheng quickly steadied her and asked, "How did it go?"
As she entered the room, Shu Yu relayed the information provided by San Lai Zi and then inquired about Yan Bo's condition.
With Zhao Xi present, there shouldn't be any major issues, and Yan Bo would likely wake up soon.
However, as if responding to Shu Yu and Meng Yunzheng words, the person lying on the bed moved.
Zhao Xi happily exclaimed, "Looks like he's waking up. He... Ah..."
Before he could finish speaking, he received a palm strike to the chest and stumbled back several steps, supported by Meng Yunzheng.
As they looked up, they saw that Yan Bo hadn't even opened his eyes before launching an attack.
Zhao Xi had been the closest, so he bore the brunt of the hit.
But it seemed that Yan Bo didn't intend to stop after just one strike. His voice hoarse, he called them "shameless scoundrels."
He tried to get up from the bed, but Meng Pei stepped forward and quickly stopped him.
Yan Bo's attack immediately shifted towards him, but Meng Pei could only block while trying to reason with him, "Yan Laogē, it's me, Meng Pei."
Yan Bo's actions paused for a moment, seemingly dazed.
He looked up and squinted at the person in front of him.
In the next moment, his body softened, and he fell back on the bed as if his strength had been drained, falling back to where he had been lying.
It was evident that he had been acting resolute to drive away the stranger who had appeared before him. However, upon hearing the familiar name, his forcefulness immediately waned.
But he still turned his head and scrutinized Meng Pei for a long time.
After a while, his expression became slightly excited, "You... you really are Chief Meng."
"It's me, Yan Laogē. I've come back."
Meng Pei held Yan Bo's hand, also filled with excitement, "These years, you've suffered."
"You're still alive, hahaha, that's great, you're still alive." Yan Bo couldn't help but laugh, but his laughter was interrupted by a fit of coughing.
Although it was only a few words, everyone present could tell that Yan Bo's madness and foolishness had most likely been an act for these past ten years. It hadn't been easy for him.
However, after Yan Bo's excitement subsided, his mood turned low again. His voice hoarse and choked, he spoke, "I never expected to see you again, Chief Meng. I am sorry for what I did. When you entrusted the safety of the escort agency to me, I... I failed to protect Ah Yun and his mother. I feel guilty."
Meng Pei quickly sat beside Yan Bo and patted his shoulder, saying, "So that's why you've been guarding the entrance of Full Prosperity Escort Agency all these years, punishing yourself while watching over our family?"
Yan Bo forced a bitter smile and nodded, "I didn't believe you were dead. I knew you would come back sooner or later. And Ah Yun, he will surely return as well."
