Contract Marriage: Billionaire and His Deaf Wife-Chapter 987: At the Brink (7)

"I’m fine, go quickly and find your mom." Ou Shihua said.

"Okay." Ou Yanan replied, "Dad, be careful, walk along the wall."

"Sure, you be careful too. I’ll go this way, you go that way. Contact me by phone when you find your mom." Ou Shihua pointed at his cell phone.

Ou Yanan nodded.

Watching Ou Shihua walk away, Ou Yanan turned around, a shadow flickering in her eyes. Because, she had no idea if this incident had anything to do with Ou Chunhua or Gu Nuan.

At the same time, Xiao Shuzhu stood frozen, staring at the sudden chaotic scene. She happened to see it as she stepped out of the restroom and was bumped back inside by someone.

Immediately, she dialed her daughter’s phone.

Her daughter, Zhu Jiayin’s phone never got through, driving her to anxiety. She had no choice but to call her foreign husband.

Zhu Minxuan’s phone connected right away.

"Where are you? Jiayin went to find you. Didn’t you see her? There’s trouble here, don’t you know?!" Xiao Shuzhu ranted incoherently into the phone.

The man on the other side, after a moment, responded coldly, "You sent Jiayin to find me?"

"Yes—"

"Why?"

Xiao Shuzhu paused, then grew more anxious: "It’s not the time for this question, why does it matter now?"

"Do you still care about your daughter?"

"Of course, she’s my daughter!"

"I’ve always thought you didn’t consider my child to be yours."

"What nonsense are you talking about, that’s my child, our child, how could—" Xiao Shuzhu stopped abruptly, realizing something, "What do you mean by that?"

"Have you ever truly loved me?"

Xiao Shuzhu blinked in confusion, her mind crashing; she couldn’t understand her foreign husband’s words at all.

"Enough," the man said, "I’ll find Jiayin. Even if she’s not your child, she’s mine."

"I—" Xiao Shuzhu couldn’t finish her sentence before the line went dead with a bang, clearly indicating he didn’t want to hear another word. 𝑓𝑟𝑒𝘦𝓌𝑒𝑏𝑛𝑜𝘷𝑒𝘭.𝒸𝘰𝑚

Xiao Shuzhu worried whether her husband could find their daughter. In her urgency, she suddenly remembered: that’s right, what about Gu Nuan? How was Gu Nuan?

She called Gu Nuan’s phone, but after a few beeps, no one answered.

Xiao Shuzhu stomped her foot in frustration, having no choice but to leave.

As she exited the restroom, she saw a familiar figure ahead — if it wasn’t her foreign husband, then who?

This was odd, wasn’t he supposed to be looking for their daughter?

If he wasn’t, what was he doing here?

Xiao Shuzhu’s mind was a jumble, her heart filled with urgency. Without thinking further, she rushed directly toward him.

Upon reaching there, she saw the man talking with her husband say, "The chaos was caused by someone deploying a smoke bomb. Preliminary determination is that a person named Gu orchestrated it, and now we are all searching for this woman."

Ah! Xiao Shuzhu’s throat failed her, leaving her unable to contain her cry.

Zhu Minxuan and the man turned their heads, seeing her.

Xiao Shuzhu looked at her husband’s face, opened her lips, and suddenly felt a sharp pain in the back of her head; her eyes closed and she fell unconscious.

Gu Nuan, hiding in the narrow passage, knew Xiao Shuzhu was calling her phone. After a while, the calls stopped, but no other information came through.

Not long after, a sudden message arrived from that direction, asking: Where are you?
