The man squeezed into the crowd and shouted with a frown, “Make way! Make way!”
Shu Yu turned her head when she heard the voice. Then, she threw down the bamboo pole in her hand without a word and looked at the newcomer innocently.
Seeing this, the few servants thought that they had an opportunity and quickly rushed over.
Unexpectedly, Shu Yu took a few steps back and immediately hid behind the man.
“Lord, they want to harm me. Help!”
The servants were about to bump into the man when they heard Shu Yu’s words.

They hurriedly stopped in their tracks, but it was too late. The fist of the servant at the front came straight for Hu Li’s face.
Hu Li’s eyes widened, “How dare you attack an officer?”
He grabbed the servant’s hand and pulled him forward. The latter fell to the ground with a thud.
Hu Li looked at him condescendingly, then turned to look at the others, “Are you guys trying to cause trouble?”
The three young masters who were originally arrogant looked a little flustered. One of them said in a low voice, “Why is an official here? If we blow this up, I won’t have much freedom in Jiangyuan County. My father won’t let me come out next time!”
“What should we do?”
“Let’s turn the big issue into a small one. Let’s muddle through it first.”
“Are we just going to forget about being pushed into the water? Are we not going to give that b*tch a lesson? I can’t accept this!”
“Otherwise, do you want to go to the government?”
“Alright, let’s just say we were playing around. We can settle the score later.”
Just as the three of them finished discussing in whispers, Hu Li walked up to them. He stared at the three of them and asked, “Which families are you young masters from? I heard that you want to kill someone, right? Pushing people into the water and not letting them come up, huh? You’re quite bold, daring to take someone’s life right under my nose.”
“Lord, this is a misunderstanding, a misunderstanding.”
“A misunderstanding? Nearly killing someone is called a misunderstanding?” Hu Li glared at him fiercely.
The three young masters hurriedly smiled and said, “We were just joking. That big brother said that he was good at swimming and wanted to show us. We didn’t believe him, so…”
Before he could finish speaking, Lu Sanzhu who had finished changing walked over.
It seemed a little awkward for them to continue talking after the victim arrived.
However, it didn’t matter. The three of them quickly continued, “It’s nothing,
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmLord. We agreed that if he performs for us, we will pay him for his hard work.” Hard work money?
Lu Sanzhu’s eyes lit up. Was it as he took it? Did they mean to give him money?
He turned to look at Shu Yu as if wanting her to agree quickly.
Shu Yu was speechless. Where was his dignity? Right, he never had any.
Seeing Lu Sanzhu’s reaction, the three young masters were relieved. They knew that these people were country bumpkins. As long as they were paid, they would be easy to get rid of.
Shu Yu did not speak, but Hu Li followed their words and turned around to ask her, “Really? Is that what happened?”
As he spoke, he winked at Shu Yu, signaling for her to stop while she was ahead. After all, Shu Yu had also kicked them all into the water. If they really wanted to pursue the matter, the other party had already been punished. Shu Yu would not be able to settle the matter easily then.
Shu Yu understood this. She looked at Lu Sanzhu speechlessly, “Was it as they said?”
“…Yes?” Lu Sanzhu asked uncertainly.
Shu Yu’s mouth twitched. When she turned around, she suddenly smiled.
“Then how is the salary calculated?”
