Contract Marriage: Billionaire and His Deaf Wife-Chapter 1030: She’s Just a Fragile Woman (4)

Xiao Yebai seemed to have realized what he was about to do. He grasped his hand at the wrist and said, "I don’t mind, but do you intend to just leave her behind like this and walk away? She’s been looking for that person for so many years. Shouldn’t you give her an explanation? Don’t forget, she’s just a woman. She may look strong on the outside, but in reality, she’s just a woman—"

It seemed that Neo was moved by these words, and his gaze fell on Gu Nuan’s face.

At this moment, the three of them seemed isolated from the world, no matter how prosperous and flashy, no matter how bloody and dangerous it was outside—even though they were surrounded by countless people with guns and knives intending to kill them. It was as if none of this mattered to them. In this moment, their world consisted only of each other.

The silent time was cherished, like that light you can reach out to but never touch.

What was she thinking about?

Neo suddenly wondered, suddenly contemplating what she might be thinking at this moment.

Xiao Yebai’s gaze returned to Gu Nuan’s face. Looking at her peaceful, seemingly asleep face, she appeared so tranquil, as if she had gone to another world.

In a moment of fear, he held her head up, pressing his face against hers, sensing her body temperature.

Neo tapped Xiao Yebai’s shoulder with his hand, gesturing.

Xiao Yebai looked up and watched him draw a simple map on a sheet of paper.

Neo’s intention was straightforward: they would divide their forces, and when he arrived, he had already scouted the surrounding road conditions and knew which path could be taken.

As for reinforcements, he had already contacted them. Soon, someone would come to pick them up. 𝒇𝓻𝓮𝓮𝙬𝙚𝒃𝒏𝓸𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝓬𝓸𝒎

Xiao Yebai didn’t ask what he planned to do because it was apparent that this man, whether he was willing to admit it or not, wouldn’t go back with him and Yebai.

Unlike Lao Liu, who was determined to drag the person back, Yebai merely squinted his eyes slightly, as if he had already been prepared for this situation.

Seeing the calm expression on the other’s face, a light flashed quietly in Neo’s eyes as he told him: the drugs injected into your body by others may take a very long time to metabolize.

Xiao Yebai’s eyes gleamed: "You mean, I will sleep again?"

Neo nodded.

"Is there no way to solve this problem? Am I not awake now?"

The drug I injected into you can only temporarily stimulate your brain to keep you conscious. However, the drugs accumulated in your body require time to metabolize. Once the stimulating drug I gave you loses effect, the drugs remaining in your body will continue to act, making you fall asleep. Perhaps the doctor you hired has some clever tricks, but in my view, though he might be skillful in surgery, his knowledge of pharmaceuticals might be just average.

Regarding this point, Xiao Yebai seemed to have no reason to argue. It wasn’t because the man before him was overly confident and boastful, it was true. During the last incident when Gu Ma was poisoned, Tang Sili was helpless. If Gu Nuan hadn’t suddenly thought of something, Gu Ma might not have survived. And it was said that the discoverer of that poison was—

Overall, Tang Sili’s expertise in pharmacology was not on par with his surgical skills. In contrast, the man in front of him surpassed Tang Sili significantly in pharmacology.

Even so, this man spoke with some reservation, merely stating that perhaps Tang Sili might have something up his sleeve. Obviously, even this man considered Tang Sili not to be an ordinary person.
