Contract Marriage: Billionaire and His Deaf Wife-Chapter 993: Escape from Death (Part 4)

"Didn’t you say that I falsely accused you, slandered you, and damaged your reputation?"

Rogers crouched down on his two legs, bringing his face slowly closer to Gu Nuan’s, as if he had never examined a woman so closely before. He exhaled and said, "You’re even smarter than the police. I’ve caught a couple of undercover agents before, but none as courageous as you. You’re not beautiful, but your mind is captivating."

Gu Nuan’s palm, resting on the ground, gently grasped. She slowly closed her eyes, exhaling lightly.

Seeing her implying silence, Rogers’ eyes widened like light bulbs, staring down at her face, seemingly serene as if transcending into a divine realm. Suddenly, he rose to his feet, his voice sharp, "Just a kid from the slums, daring to despise a giant of the capital world?"

Gu Nuan still showed no reaction.

"Do you think I don’t dare to kill you?"

Because of what Rogers said, Ou Chunhua’s heart skipped a beat. Is this girl giving up on herself? Looking for a way out?

Is she really going to die at the hands of this old foreigner?

"Alright—"

In an instant, there was a ’click’ sound as a black, shiny object was pulled out of Rogers’ pocket, and when it got close to Gu Nuan’s forehead, Ou Chunhua’s eyes widened.

No one else dared to make a sound.

To their shock, the boss was actually going to personally deal with this woman?!

Instinctively, Ou Chunhua moved forward to block her son’s view with her own body. However, Ou Yanan had already fainted, closing his eyes.

Everything, everything will end here. Ou Chunhua thought. After this, her son would forget Gu Nuan and return to her, Ou Chunhua, only recognizing his identity as an Ou family child, nothing more.

Gu Nuan would disappear from this world—never to be seen again—

Bang—

The gunshot sounded as if no silencer was installed.

Then, this piercing gunshot echoed throughout the entire building. Upstairs, downstairs, people running through the stairwell and corridors, all heard it.

Ou Shihua’s body froze for a moment and then was pushed to the wall corner by the even more panicked crowd, unable to move.

The crowd screamed and shoved desperately, "Gunshot! Someone fired a gun! It’s an attack!"

Ou Shihua quickly protected his head with his hands, crouching his body, mimicking others in the defensive posture, cursing under his breath, "Damn it!"

Why are his wife and child here too, and why are they separated? He doesn’t even know if they encountered the ambush.

Running up the stairs, Zhong Qiaohui finally reached the rooftop, and at the moment she heard the gunshot seemingly echoing from beneath the earth, she immediately turned around.

In the aftermath, she saw Wei Changqing trailing behind her.

Wei Changqing looked up and saw her silhouette, then with a few agile jumps, he quickly leaped onto the rooftop terrace, asking, "Are you unharmed?"

"I’m not hurt—" Zhong Qiaohui finished her words.

Immediately, both of them realized, on the dark rooftop terrace, despite the howling wind, they were the only two present; Gu Nuan was missing.

Instantly, a cold wind swept through Zhong Qiaohui’s heart.

Wei Changqing swiftly grabbed her, preventing her from going downstairs, and said, "What are you doing?"

"Didn’t you see? She’s not here!" Zhong Qiaohui was as anxious as ants on a hot pan, feeling as if her insides were being bitten by ants.
