Contract Marriage: Billionaire and His Deaf Wife Chapter 1376: So It Ended Up in His Hands (Part 2)

Zang Xiaolian couldn’t help but get angry, addressing Lao Liu, "Sixth Brother, don’t always be so sarcastic. According to what you said, we might as well do nothing! Isn’t doing nothing just sitting and waiting for death?"

Xiaojiu and Lao Liu were arguing. Mom and Dad didn’t say a word, just stayed silent. Lingxin kept swallowing nervously, then turned to look at his uncle.

Ou Yanan, being purely a dical student, didn’t understand the intricacies of this line of work, and it sounded like heavenly books to her. Seeing her nephew’s gaze, Ou Yanan nodded to him, aning to keep calm.

The group discussed for over half an hour without any results. At this mont, it had been almost six hours since Erhouzi’s disappearance. Everyone’s hearts naturally turned into a dead knot.

Knock knock.

Two knocks.

It ca from the left side.

"Is there a door over there?" Wei Changqing asked in surprise.

"A door connected to the neighboring residence," Zang Xiaolian told him.

"Who lives next door?"

Zang Xiaolian went to open the door. Coming through the doorway was indeed Nala’s assistant.

"Chairman Gu—" The assistant looked very flustered, holding a receiver in her hand, "We don’t know if we should call the police, but we’re worried that if we do, they might execute the hostage imdiately."

Upon hearing this, everyone imdiately realized it was a call from the kidnappers, possibly demanding ransom. Their heads spun for a mont before quickly reacting.

Wei Changqing said in a low voice, his face serious, "Be careful when answering the call, don’t provoke them, and try to garner information about their hostage, including ensuring the hostage’s safety."

Xiao Yebai stood up, took the phone from the assistant, and turned on the speaker. The room thus maintained absolute silence.

"Hello."

"Who are you?" The other party heard Xiao Yebai’s voice for the first ti and asked his identity, "Are you the police?"

"No, I’m not the police," Xiao Yebai exchanged a glance with Nala’s assistant, "I’m Nala’s colleague."

"You’re also Nala’s colleague, wasn’t the previous person Nala’s colleague?"

"No, she’s just Nala’s assistant, working for Nala. I’m not; I’m equal with Nala, sharing the profits equally."

"You’re Nala’s partner? Why haven’t I heard of you?"

"You can ask Nala if she knows soone nad Bai."

After hearing this, the other party suddenly fell silent. According to Xiao Yebai and others’ guessing, they might have gone to verify with Nala. This way, it certainly proved Nala was still alive. Since Nala was alive, Mingli could also be alive.

The people present weren’t sure whether to relax or beco more tense. Nala’s people showed a tearful face but likewise held their breath, not daring to make a sound.

As long as Nala’s mind turned, she could definitely guess that the ’Bai’ Xiao Yebai referred to was himself.

After a mont, the voice resud from the other end, "Bai, right?"

"Yes."

"Chinese?"

"Yes."

"Speaks English well, naturally, been here for a long ti."

"Just trying to make a living," Xiao Yebai communicated with the other party in fluent Arican English. However, to the other party, Xiao Yebai even spoke with a tone sowhat similar to what people in their circle use, which elicited suspicion.

"What do you an by ’trying to make a living’?"

"Do you know Bart? Recently I just did a business deal for Bart."

Da Bai’s tactic was to gain the upper hand by disorienting the other party.
