Contract Marriage: Billionaire and His Deaf Wife-Chapter 1026: Their Chances Are Slim (9)

Bang!

The door suddenly burst open from inside.

Everyone outside was undeniably startled.

While Cyclops was still in shock, a shadow suddenly descended from above and kicked him square in the face. He had no choice but to raise his hands to cover his face, and the cane he was holding fell to the ground loudly. Unable to stand steadily on one leg, he rolled straight down the stairs.

Behind him, Su Yixia couldn’t see and was directly knocked down by his falling body. She struggled desperately, freeing herself from Cyclops’ enormous body weight, but with nowhere to hide, she had no choice but to flip over the side of the stairs, landing on the floor below and letting out a scream of agony.

Faced with such a violent upheaval, Mu couldn’t help but voice his surprise, "What’s going on? The light isn’t coming from this room, so who’s locked in the other room?"

Neo immediately grew tense.

Having kicked Cyclops, Xiao Yebai turned back in surprise, looking at Old Five as well: There’s someone else, who?

Mu caught their expressions, and acting quickly, he reached out to unlock the door of the adjacent room.

As the door opened, Neo pounced, pressing Mu down to the ground. 𝙧𝙚𝙚𝔀𝒆𝓫𝓷𝙤𝓿𝒆𝙡.𝒄𝙤𝓶

With the door open, the wind surged through, roaring between the window and the door, making loud howling sounds.

The childlike mask on Mu’s face suddenly animated, forming a mischievous grin.

Neo’s face turned pale, seeing the playing card held between his right index and middle fingers, and with all his might, he chopped at the hand holding the card.

The playing card flew out instantly, moving even faster.

"Nuannuan!"

Xiao Yebai lunged into the room and, as the card whooshed through the air, embraced the shadow sitting against the wall.

Scratch—

The sharp corner of the playing card stabbed into the wooden wall, penetrating deeply, like a dagger, while the exposed edge dripped a smooth drop of blood.

As the man turned to look at the person in the room, Mu bent his leg agilely, kicking the opponent in the stomach, forcing Neo to clutch his belly.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Mu sprang lightly from the ground, his fingers conjuring more playing cards, and watched the two of them, the corners of the childlike mask lifting: "Oh dear, today is rare indeed. The two people supposedly in coffins have both come back to life. If we tell Luo Ke, Luo Ke would be so happy, he’d go mad with joy. Because, we were never really planning to let you die. Come on, give a kiss, Old Five, Yebai—"

Neo’s eyes drilled deeply into the masked man before him, then stood up despite the kick to his belly, staggering but quickly heading into the room.

In Xiao Yebai’s arms, he saw the trail of blood running down the woman’s neck.

Xiao Yebai’s fingers clamped tightly on her neck artery to prevent the blood from gushing out like a fountain, or else it would be all over, completely over.

Gu Nuan’s vision was foggy, barely able to see anything.

She had clearly sensed danger before the door opened, had stood up ready to leave, planning to hide behind the door, but never thought that the man could pierce through the wooden door with a playing card and instantly hit her neck.

Turns out, the people they were up against were such terrifying individuals? So terrifying, as if they could foresee the future.

"Don’t move, don’t move, I’m begging you not to move!"

His voice was close to her ear, afraid she couldn’t hear, knowing she wasn’t completely deaf.

Her outstretched hand only wanted to touch his face, ever since seeing him she had wanted to do that.

Feeling his face, truly feeling, that he was alive, back beside her.

But her fingertip hadn’t truly touched his face, couldn’t lift it, and dropped with a thud.

"Nuannuan, Nuannuan—"

The man’s loud roar shook the whole house.

Mu Xiaosheng recoiled in fear, stepping back: "Oh heavens, he’s going to go mad, if he goes mad, he’s just like Luo Ke—no, I need to run—"

Saying this, he leapt over the stairs from the corridor, jumping down.

Neo seized the chance to slap Xiao Yebai on the shoulder, his eyes forcefully signaling: Leave now! Hurry and get out—

Xiao Yebai snapped out of it, gathered up the woman carefully, and moved over the window.

Cyclops lay on the ground, watching Mu jump down, cursed: "Why are you afraid of him? We have plenty of people here!" Saying this, he struggled to get up, sat on the floor, and shouted to the people outside to come in: "Seal off all routes in and out of the house! Don’t let them escape!"

In the hotel, Wei Changqing returned to the meeting room where everyone had gathered.

Zhan Dapeng, seeing him regain his original calm composure, asked: "Any clues?"

Wei Changqing’s eyes fell on Zhang Sanfeng sitting in a wheelchair there.

"His sixth sense isn’t always correct." Zhan Dapeng noted his gaze and said.

"But we have to rely on him now," Wei Changqing replied.

With those words, Zhang Sanfeng moved his wheelchair to the front of the table.

On that table was a deck of playing cards. Zhang Sanfeng casually drew one from the deck and tossed it onto the table.

Everyone saw it was a joker, and couldn’t help but feel their hearts race. None understood its significance, waiting for Zhang Sanfeng to explain.

Zhang Sanfeng’s brow hadn’t relaxed at all: "That person is here. The most troublesome one—"

"Who?" Zhong Qiaohui asked.

Zhan Dapeng’s face also turned terribly grim, wiping sweat from his head: "It’s Mu—"

"Who is Mu?" Zhong Qiaohui asked again, finding their expressions inexplicably baffling.

Zhang Sanfeng said: "Everything is as sister-in-law guessed. Mu might have figured things out too, so he moved here. They don’t stand much chance."
