Zhang Sanfeng accompanied her out.
Wei Changqing suddenly had Chairman Hong tied up tightly.
"What, what are you doing?!" Chairman Hong shouted loudly, "Didn’t you say that as long as I helped you rescue the people, you’d spare me."
"We didn’t say we’d kill you. Since you have such a dark sense of humor, let’s have you taste it first."
Chairman Hong’s eyes widened, and he fainted.
Gu Nuan walked ahead, seemingly oblivious to what they were doing behind her. But she knew that sending this person directly to the police wouldn’t make him suffer any punishment.
He needed to taste the feeling of tormenting others and learn a lesson.
Besides, her husband’s brothers, like her, were mostly frustrated because they couldn’t rescue the person they truly wanted to save.
As she walked out, she saw the lights outside.
Jia Baomo’s car had arrived.
Seeing Zhan Dapeng safe and sound, Jia Baomo was overwhelmed and said, "Fourth Brother, how did you escape?!"
They all said the two of you fell into the river. I went to the riverbank myself and indeed saw the Audi in the water.
Zhan Dapeng, seeing his excitement, put his hand on his shoulder and glanced over at Gu Nuan.
If anyone was truly remarkable, it wasn’t him; it was Gu Nuan.
"Do you know there’s a construction site by the river?"
Jia Baomo was taken aback and shook his head at Zhan Dapeng: "No, I didn’t know."
"Sister-in-law knew. She had the quick thinking to tell me about that place. I drove the car to the riverbank, lured the two cars behind into the construction site, and they fell into the river. My sister-in-law and I managed to escape."
Jia Baomo immediately looked at her with admiration.
How does Gu Nuan even know about such places and things?
In the city, there are so many construction sites every day; how could anyone know all of them?
It was indeed a coincidence that Gu Nuan knew. That day, Zhao Mengjin was taken by Ou Yanan to enjoy the scenery by the river. Later, she mentioned in passing during their chat that the roads by the river were difficult to navigate due to construction.
Gu Nuan reached the Ferrari door, opened it, and saw the elderly lady sitting in the back seat.
It was uncertain if the old lady was genuinely asleep or feigning it, as she kept her eyes closed.
Gu Nuan lowered her head and checked her breathing with a glance at her face.
The Xiao family’s elderly lady suddenly opened her eyes halfway, as if just waking up, and saw her face.
In that instant, the old lady’s face flashed with disbelief and surprise.
Gu Nuan seemed to understand what she was thinking, probably saying:
I’ve been waiting for my son and grandson to rescue me, and after such a long wait, it’s this woman who’s come to save me?
This granddaughter-in-law whom I despise—
The old lady’s lips trembled two or three times as a result.
Gu Nuan lowered her eyes, seeing that this old woman was indeed tough with no major injuries, so she stepped back out of the car, unwilling to waste words.
Just then, the old lady’s hand suddenly reached out and grabbed her departing figure.
Gu Nuan had to turn back, wondering what this elderly woman wanted to do again.
To be fair, the Xiao family’s elderly lady had been reasonably courteous to her. She hadn’t resorted to any despicable means to coerce her. Previously, she had even invited Gu Nuan back to the Xiao family. It was precisely due to the old lady’s one-sided will that outsiders found an opportunity and loophole, leading to a series of unexpected incidents.
