"Let’s go inside and talk." Zhan Dapeng intervened to calm the situation.
Wei Changqing said, "Just came back, maybe haven’t had a good rest, a bit tired, let her rest first. Isn’t her body different from ordinary women?"
Hearing this, it was clearly an insinuation rather than concern, and Zhong Qiaohui was infuriated, blurting out, "If you’re concerned, speak nicely. Is this how you talk?"
Wei Changqing’s eyes flicked over Zhong Qiaohui’s face, then seemed to think of something, turned his face away, and didn’t argue with her.
Zhong Qiaohui immediately recalled other things, the anger bubbling in her chest, she said, "If you want to talk, just talk. I have nothing to do with that man!"
Not far away, Zhang Sanfeng was still talking with the elder of the Zhang Family. Therefore, even Gu Nuan felt that Zhong Qiaohui’s words lacked conviction and shouldn’t have been said at this moment.
Wei Changqing seemed amused, covering his mouth corner with a fist, and said to the attendant beside him, "Are the snacks prepared for sister-in-law ready?"
It’s not lunchtime yet, so serve some snacks first.
Someone went to push the food cart.
Gu Nuan let her subordinates go find something to eat.
Then, Zhan Dapeng and the others discovered Qiu Wenduo.
"Who is this person?"
When Zhan Dapeng asked this question, Qiu Wenduo’s whole body tensed; he felt that it would be better being imprisoned in Duke Phillips’ castle than here. Looking at this group of people, none of them seemed easy to deal with. How could Gu Nuan, this deaf person, be among such extraordinary individuals?
"This person—" Gu Nuan paused, "might know where my husband is."
Qiu Wenduo gaped, a look as if he’d been utterly betrayed. Seeing the other men immediately looked like they were ready to torture him upon hearing her words.
"Hey, you can’t speak irresponsibly, you deaf—" Qiu Wenduo shouted, suddenly remembering Gu Nuan is deaf and couldn’t hear him, realizing he’d been fooled from start to finish.
Gu Nuan thought it best to leave Qiu Wenduo to Wei Changqing and the others; she’d already learned what she needed.
Not surprisingly, Qiu Wenduo was taken away by Zhan Dapeng and the others.
While she sat in the room eating tea cakes with Zhong Qiaohui, Zhong Qiaohui looked at her and asked, "What do you plan to do next?"
Before Gu Nuan could answer, Zhong Qiaohui continued, "Actually, what surprised me was that those people actually let us go."
Weren’t they arch-enemies? Why would they let them go?
"Do you think they have any benefit from killing us instead of releasing us?"
Regarding Gu Nuan’s comment, Zhong Qiaohui quietly gestured, "Zhang San and the others have encountered kidnapping, you know that? Do you think they can be good people?"
"It was just a kidnapping, not a killing, right?"
Zhong Qiaohui blinked.
Gu Nuan picked up a cup of black tea, slowly sipping the warm tea, said, "I don’t know what their aim is, but it is clear they don’t kidnap people on a whim."
"Do you mean their goal isn’t to rob for money?"
"How could it be robbery?" Gu Nuan said, eyes lowering.
This should be evident from the last time, when rescuing Grandma Xiao. Although she was tied underground in a similar abusive situation, in fact, it was Chairman Hong’s doing alone. Only Chairman Hong knew that place, which made it clear that torturing the elderly there was never their intent. Counting it up, Chairman Hong wasn’t with them. Look at Qiu Wenduo imprisoned in the castle, were there any signs of physical abuse?
