Chapter 920: Chapter 920: Gains and Losses (6)
The elderly woman was already ninety, and now she was suddenly subjected to such severe torture and abuse. Anyone would feel a chilling shiver at heart.
Gu Nuan slightly furrowed her elegant eyebrows, a slight crease forming on her brow. Then, she said to those beside her, "Please, move the elderly woman down first."
Only after hearing her voice did Zhan Dapeng and the others snap out of their shocked stupor. At the same time, they all thought, considering how Madam Xiao had previously made things difficult for her, this was a perfect opportunity to mock the elderly woman. Yet, it was Gu Nuan who spoke up first, asking them to rescue the elderly woman first.
No matter what people outside said about her having a bad heart, in reality?
To repay kindness with ingratitude to such an extent, with such magnanimity, who could still say she’s bad-hearted no matter where in the world she was placed.
The so-called gossip rumors were definitely extremely untrustworthy.
Zhang Sanfeng and the others all knew that Gu Nuan actually had a very kind heart, so after hearing her words, they felt increasingly angry and furious at the Xiao Family’s previous actions towards her.
Several people went up to gently and carefully untie Madam Xiao from the wooden stick.
Wei Changqing stepped forward to assess Madam Xiao’s condition, feeling her breath and pulse, and said, "She’s alive. Tough life."
A ninety-year-old woman had been locked in a secret room for several days. It’s undeniable that someone might have come in to feed her water and food, preventing her from dying. However, without willpower and luck, it’s unimaginable for a ninety-year-old to survive in such circumstances.
Madam Xiao indeed had a tough life.
Gu Nuan didn’t find this surprising at all. Generally speaking, bad people tend to live longer than good people.
Think of Grandpa and Grandma Gu, old bones scheming all day long yet living a long life. Disease seems to prefer targeting those with overly kind hearts.
The old crocodile is still alive, yet Ruan Ruzhen passed away years ago.
Some water was fed to Madam Xiao, her bound hands and feet were loosened, and then Zhan Dapeng personally carried the elderly woman out of the dark underground cell.
Gu Nuan remained in the cell for a while, searching the surroundings as if looking for something.
Seeing her expression and actions, a slight gloom appeared on Zhang Sanfeng’s face.
Obviously, she was looking for any possible traces left by their brother, Xiao Yebai. But it was certain that there would be none.
Because Chairman Hong didn’t seem to need to lie to them any further about this matter. According to Chairman Hong: "Young Master Xiao slipped away on his own before we arrived. We couldn’t capture him even if we wanted to. We truly don’t know where he went. If we did, we could have used him against you long ago."
Capturing Madam Xiao could threaten Xiao Jianming. However, everyone knew that Gu Nuan’s feelings towards Xiao Jianming and Madam Xiao were not good, so only capturing Xiao Yebai could be used to threaten her, Gu Nuan.
Everything was just as they had speculated before, the Black Hats did not catch Xiao Yebai. Therefore, where Xiao Yebai went became an unsolvable mystery.
"Sister-in-law," Zhang Sanfeng maneuvered his wheelchair towards Gu Nuan and said, "Perhaps—"
Gu Nuan knew what he was going to say; now the clues about him had ended here, and they could only start all over again.
"He must be alive," Gu Nuan said.
Her voice seemed to be not just for Zhang Sanfeng to hear.
Wei Changqing glanced over her face.
