Chapter 649
"Uncle Xu, what do you think we should do now?"
After listening to what Wu Xie and Fatty Wang had to say, Butler Xu pondered for a long time before slowly speaking: "A person who has been dead for five or six years cannot come back to life unless someone impersonates that person. But the Peng Ye you mentioned is someone who hunts down poachers, and he has gone mad now."
Having served Hua Yu and Zhang Qiling for so many years, Butler Xu was all too familiar with the smell of such conspiracies. "Why do you think that person would pretend to be Peng Ye's lover, who has already gone mad, and reappear in everyone's sight?"
"For something everyone knows." Wu Xie recalled that they had inexplicably broken down in their car on a desolate northwestern highway, and then happened to meet Peng Ye in a conscious state, who then took them back to their village.
"Young Master, what do you think should be done about this?" Butler Xu did not immediately give them the answer they wanted, but instead threw the question back to Wu Xie and the others.
"I will personally go and find out where this woman came from and where she is going." A ruthless glint flashed in Wu Xie's eyes. He would never allow anyone or anything to ruin the life he had worked so hard to achieve.
“I will arrange for people to accompany you to the Northwest.” Steward Xu stood up, dusted off his sleeves, and then said solemnly, “However, before that, I must report this matter to His Highness and the others in detail, and there must be no concealment whatsoever.”
Upon hearing this, Wu Xie and Fatty Wang quickly stood up from their seats. Wu Xie looked at Butler Xu gratefully and said, "Then we'll have to trouble you, Uncle Xu." Fatty Wang chimed in, "Yes, Uncle Xu, we really owe you a lot this time."
After saying that, the two returned to their room with serious expressions and began packing their luggage. Their movements were swift and efficient, as if they had already planned the trip perfectly.
In no time, Wu Xie had packed his luggage. He stood in the room, carrying his luggage, and looked around. Although he had only stayed in this room for a short time, it was already filled with his memories and emotions.
"I will not let anyone disturb the peaceful life I have finally achieved, not a single one! Not even Wu Sansheng!" Wu Xie clenched his fists tightly and made a silent vow in his heart.
Just then, a series of loud knocks came from the door, so loud it seemed they would shatter it. Immediately afterward, Fatty Wang's booming voice, loud enough to rival the village loudspeaker, rang out: "Wu Xie! Are you done yet?! Why are you dawdling like a woman?!"
After concealing his emotions, Wu Xie took a deep breath, picked up his luggage, and walked up to Fatty Wang. He glared at him, annoyed, "What's the rush! It's all packed! Besides, what kind of fancy place is it? Why are you in such a hurry to go? Have you already made up your mind about something over there?"
Wu Xie nudged Wang Pangzi's shoulder with a slightly ambiguous tone. After not hearing Wang Pangzi's voice for a while, he turned to look at Wang Pangzi and saw a blush flash across the fat man's face.
Wu Xie stared at him, mouth agape, incredulous. "You don't really have a lover over there, do you?! Such a big thing, why didn't you tell me?!"
"Well, I haven't made up my mind yet!" Fatty Wang said helplessly. "Besides, what we're doing right now is extremely dangerous. If we're not careful, we'll be heading to the underworld. In this situation, dragging innocent people into this would just be harming them..."
Wu Xie understood what Fatty Wang meant, and he knew that Fatty Wang was only saying this out of consideration for others. After all, the situation they were facing was extremely dangerous, and one wrong move could cost them their lives.
However, despite this, Wu Xie still fully supported Wang Pangzi's choice. After all, Wang Pangzi was not young anymore, and they had been through so much together. Nothing was more desirable than a peaceful and ordinary life.
“Fatty, if you’ve really made up your mind, then we’ll never have to worry about any of this again.” Wu Xie patted Fatty Wang on the shoulder and said earnestly, “Let’s find a secluded mountain forest where no one knows us, and live a peaceful life there.”
As he spoke, Wu Xie moved the luggage in one hand to the other, freeing up the other hand to put it on Wang Pangzi's shoulder, as if to convey a sense of strength and support to him.
After hearing Wu Xie's words, Fatty Wang shook his head with a wry smile. "It's not as easy as you say! We're like someone who's already stepped into this whirlpool. How far behind can the other foot be?" His words revealed a hint of helplessness and self-deprecation.
