Gu Nuan certainly wouldn’t stop him; she just watched as he finished all those hand gestures and hurried off towards where her husband was.
Just then, Mom and Dad Gu had finished resting for the afternoon and came out to ask if any help was needed with dinner. Gu Nuan said to them, "Yebai is busy with something. Let’s go inside first, mom and dad. Uncle Qi and the others will have dinner ready."
A sudden matter for her son-in-law to attend to? This question couldn’t help but arise in the minds of Mom and Dad Gu. Ever since Xiao Yebai’s return to the Gu Family, it seemed as if he had not been entangled with official business, which had once made the couple quite worried that their son-in-law was neglecting his duties and only knew how to have fun.
As it turned out, her husband, usually so wild and crazy, now seemed too serious all of a sudden, which was actually worrying.
It seemed that it would be better if Yebai were focused on having fun, as it would symbolize peace and tranquility in the world.
Gu Nuan urged her parents to head back inside.
Her figure, however, was caught in the distant gaze of Xiao Yebai.
Uncle Qi stood in front of him and Zhang Sanfeng, reporting the news of Xiao Shumei and the others suddenly leaving in a car.
Zhang Sanfeng looked quite surprised and asked, "Didn’t you pass on the message to them? You told them to wait patiently for a few days."
"Yes, I had someone convey Mr. Xiao’s words; they should all have gotten the message," Uncle Qi could guarantee that with absolute certainty.
The word had reached Xiao Shumei and the others. The problem was, they did not completely trust their younger brother’s words, nor did they entirely trust their younger brother’s capabilities. That’s why they took matters into their own hands.
For a moment, even Zhang Sanfeng hadn’t expected this and was caught off guard.
Xiao Yebai’s brows were slightly raised as he said, "They originally came to me to discuss, not to have me make the decisions for them."
Zhang Sanfeng felt a sense of ill omen about this; his sixth sense was telling him that something was amiss!
"Did you have someone track their car?" Zhang Sanfeng asked.
"No," Uncle Qi answered.
Zhang Sanfeng couldn’t really blame Uncle Qi for not having someone follow Xiao Shumei and the others. After all, they didn’t know where they planned to go.
The incident happened so suddenly and without warning. Before this, the people Uncle Qi had sent to tail them hadn’t detected any unusual moves from Xiao Shumei and her sisters.
Uncle Qi said, "It looked like they were dressed to the nines, carrying things with them, pretty much like they were going to some banquet."
The three sisters may have grown bored with staying in the small town for too long and thus sought out some fun to relax. Previously, it might have been possible for Xiao Shuzhu and Xiao Shuju, who enjoyed fun, to drag their elder sister, Xiao Shumei, out for some entertainment. Yet, the situation was different now; it should be all about Changda’s affair on their minds.
So, even if the three sisters were going to a banquet, it must certainly be for the purpose of seeking help for Changda’s situation.
"Immediately have someone check around to see what commercial gatherings are taking place nearby," Zhang Sanfeng instructed.
Uncle Qi responded and turned to carry out the task.
Once Uncle Qi had left, the three men remaining looked notably tense. Not to mention Xiao Yebai and Zhang Sanfeng, even Tang Sili, who should have been clueless about the situation, could sense an ominous wind blowing.
Tang Sili stood, exchanged a quick look with his boss, and then went aside to personally make a phone call to a student.
He must alert Ou Yanan before this situation could affect her.
In Wa Zicong’s residence, Ou Yanan was startled by the sound of her phone ringing and looked away from Wa Zicong’s computer screen.
Looking at the sky, it was almost dark. Wa Zicong had been out for most of the afternoon and hadn’t returned yet, and there he was, having been lost in thought in front of Wa Zicong’s computer the entire time. Fresh chapters posted on 𝓷𝓸𝓿𝓮𝓵·𝕗𝕚𝕣𝕖·𝙣𝙚𝙩
