Contract Marriage: Billionaire and His Deaf Wife-Chapter 986: A Close Call (6)

Ou Chunhua looked at Mrs. Lu.

"No, it wasn’t me!" Mrs. Lu shouted desperately, trying to clear herself.

"No matter what, you two need to stay here." The other party said, pointing at both of them.

Mrs. Lu’s legs were already weak, she collapsed onto the sofa, unable to move.

Suddenly, Ou Chunhua stepped forward and said, "I know her well, I can lead the way for you."

"Do you know where she escaped to?"

"I do." Ou Chunhua’s lips curled in a strange way, "I have a plan. She definitely won’t run away alone."

Gu Nuan and the others were heading upwards. They often encountered people in the elevator, so they didn’t dare take it. But constantly climbing the emergency staircase was not a long-term strategy due to the cameras, so they had to take a roundabout way.

Overall, heading upwards was correct.

Zhong Qiaohui led the way, Gu Nuan was in the middle, and Wei Changqing followed behind them.

They walked up to the twelfth floor, and there were over seventy floors to go; it was a true test of stamina.

Suddenly, Wei Changqing looked at his watch and said to them, "Perhaps they’ve already found out. We need to create some chaos to prevent them from focusing their attention on us."

Indeed, he’s skilled in special operations, adept at diversion tactics.

Zhong Qiaohui and Gu Nuan had just heard his sentence when a noise suddenly echoed from below.

"What did you do?" Zhong Qiaohui asked in shock.

"While you were eating, drinking, and having fun with others, I couldn’t just sit idle, right?" Wei Changqing gave them a meaningful look, "Especially since each of you has an entangled relationship with my brother, of course, I meant that as a joke."

If it weren’t for the current circumstances, Gu Nuan would have laughed. The triumphant Black Cat Detective had indeed blackened Miss Zhong’s face with his actions.

"You heard everything?!"

Zhong Qiaohui had barely shouted out when Wei Changqing frowned deeply.

They could hear urgent footsteps right outside the corridor they were hiding in, accompanied by the voices of several foreigners:

"No mistake about it, they’re headed this way, quick, find them!"

How did they find them so quickly?!

The three of them faced each other, tension written across their faces.

In the lobby downstairs, smoke filled the hall where the party was being held. It was a smoke bomb set off remotely by Wei Changqing. The average guest had no idea what was happening. As smoke enveloped the area, guests began to scream and panic once they realized it wasn’t a surprise orchestrated by the host.

The sudden chaos among the crowd was far more terrifying than a real bomb detonation.

Ou Shihua was quickly knocked down by someone nearby, crashing directly into the wine table beside him. Chairman Zhan beside him fared no better, finding himself unable to move after getting bumped against a beam.

"Dad—"

Ou Shihua raised his head from the wine table upon hearing his son’s voice and shouted, "Over here—"

Ou Yanan accurately followed his voice, walked up to him, and helped him up. Together, they retreated to the safer walls to avoid getting knocked down or trampled.

"Where’s your mom?" Ou Shihua turned to ask his son.

"My mom?" Ou Yanan was taken aback, surprised that Ou Shihua also saw Ou Chunhua there.

"Yes, your mom is here too." Ou Shihua explained, assuming his son didn’t know.

Ou Yanan pondered whether the sudden events could be related to his mother, especially since Gu Nuan had disappeared earlier.
