Contract Marriage: Billionaire and His Deaf Wife-Chapter 1153: The Whole Truth (9)

"Sister-in-law suspects—"

"She suspects, it’s someone I mentioned to her, the Old Seven who is skilled at disguise."

Wei Changqing understood that it must have been the boss and Old Seven who had spoken to Zang Xiaolian in that way. Old Seven came to contact Gu Nuan and discovered that the truth wasn’t as the boss thought. Consequently, with someone like Old Seven, who is smarter and more independent than Zang Xiaolian, it’s clear what they would do next.

Xiao Yebai then pointed out a feared reality to everyone: "Your sister-in-law later discovered that this man named Qia Ran disappeared without a trace, as if he never existed in this world."

Wei Changqing wanted to call Old Seven but suddenly remembered that Xiao Yebai was right. If they wanted to contact Old Seven, they had to go through the boss or Zang Xiaolian to arrange it.

Back then, the boss told them that Old Seven’s work was somewhat secretive, so his contact details couldn’t be casually disclosed. Therefore, arrangements had to be made from his side to ensure Old Seven’s maximum safety. All of them believed what that person said.

Wei Changqing did not follow Xiao Yebai’s instructions. He quickly hung up the phone, switched it off, and said, "Until I find out the truth, I won’t believe anything you say."

As if anticipating his words, Xiao Yebai showed an indifferent expression.

Before Wei Changqing opened the door and walked out, he turned to them and said, "Don’t forget, the one who united us all, planned an escape, and successfully led us out was him, which is why we call him Big Brother."

Xiao Yebai sneered at his words: "Have you lost your mind, Old Six? If it weren’t for Old Five, we would have been annihilated long ago if we followed his escape route."

Wei Changqing stiffened.

Zhang Sanfeng also mocked: "If that person had already been one of their people, knowing we are the most troublesome ones, he might have created further chaos among the other kidnapped children and decided to deal with us all together. And given their cruel, playful nature, they definitely wouldn’t just wipe us out simply; they’d prefer watching us step into their carefully plotted traps, leading us to doom step by step, which would bring them greater satisfaction."

Wei Changqing felt his steps becoming more difficult.

Zhan Dapeng then picked up his phone and said to Old Six, "Big Brother is calling."

"You answer," Wei Changqing replied irritably, feeling frustrated to death.

Zhan Dapeng answered, said hello a few times, then said, "Big Brother is asking about Old Six? Yes, he’s here, he is."

After he finished, he handed the phone back to Wei Changqing as usual.

Wei Changqing was forced to take the phone and uh-huh several times. The others couldn’t hear what they were discussing, only Wei Changqing’s final surprise: "Big Brother said Old Seven is in trouble?"

Then, he looked at Xiao Yebai and the others, seemingly recalling Xiao Yebai’s earlier words, and said to the person, "Yes, I’m at Second Brother’s place, need to sort some things out, then I’ll go find Xiaoqi."

Hearing this, Zhan Dapeng couldn’t help but laugh on the spot.

Wei Changqing hung up the phone, looking pale, knowing why Zhan Dapeng was laughing.

His response surely alerted the person that Wei Changqing was now suspicious of them.

Zhan Dapeng turned, clapped Old Six on the shoulder and said, "If you really go to him because of this and get caught, you know him, he would only treat you and Xiaoqi as hostages. Especially when it’s clear that we’ve got Xiaojiu here protecting him." 𝘧𝓇ℯ𝑒𝓌𝑒𝑏𝓃𝘰𝘷𝘦𝘭.𝒸ℴ𝓂

Zang Xiaolian was taken aback, realizing at this point that Xiao Yebai wasn’t setting him up to be caught, but rather preemptively protecting him to prevent him from going back and being caught by that man and used against Xiao Yebai.

As Xiaoqi had disappeared and been captured, Xiao Yebai and Gu Nuan thought well about it. Matters of affection and life can’t be bought back with any amount of money.

Xiao Yebai had lost Old Five, Gu Nuan had lost her brother - they shared the same pain.

Their only priority was protecting Xiaojiu quickly. Exposing the deception, ensuring Xiaojiu wouldn’t foolishly go back. That would be torture for the couple. At the time when they first met, Xiaojiu was busy everywhere, unknown how much effort was put in, tantamount to being a matchmaker.

Wei Changqing hung his head down and said, "I know, but I still have some things to ask him face to face." With that, he turned and left.

Zhan Dapeng looked at his back and felt anxious: "This Old Six—"

Since Gu Nuan was pretending, everything was fine. Gu Dad and Gu Mom were relieved. But after the patient’s family member left, Tang Sili walked over. Seeing his expression, Gu Nuan knew that what was supposed to come had finally arrived.
