Contract Marriage: Billionaire and His Deaf Wife Chapter 953: So It Was All Her Doing (3)

As they approached Gu Nuan’s room, Tang Shaohong beca more cautious and pulled Old Lu to hide at the corner to observe.

The corridor was silent, and it seed there was not a single person.

Old Lu asked him, "Why—"

Before he could finish, Tang Shaohong covered his mouth with his hand.

Then, both of them stared in surprise as the room’s door appeared to be effortlessly blown open by a gust of wind. After waiting for a long ti, it seed no one was inside the room, so no one ca out to close the door.

Frightened, Old Lu jumped onto Tang Shaohong, "Look, has soone disappeared again?"

Tang Shaohong quickly dug into his pocket for his phone while leading Old Lu toward the service elevator that Old Lu ntioned was used by the cleaning staff.

When he took out his phone, he realized there was indeed no signal.

Fortunately, Gu Nuan had already told him where to et up before.

"Where are we going?" Old Lu asked, noticing that after they got on the elevator, Tang Shaohong pressed the button for the lowest level. It was heading underground, not to an exit on the ground level.

"If they really want to catch us, all the exits are probably sealed. That’s what my boss said, so we can only hide in the place they least expect," Tang Shaohong looked up at the elevator ceiling in surprise and said, "Look, there’s no cara here."

Old Lu explained, "There are no caras installed in the castle because each of the owners has their own privacy. They didn’t allow it. I heard there was a quarrel about it before, and the old lady was troubled, so she had them leave it as is."

Tang Shaohong’s eyes flickered as he thought: Apparently, Gu Nuan guessed right again.

Gu Nuan’s speculation that there were no caras here was not only because she didn’t see any shadow of caras, but also because when she was invited to the bridge room, she could distinctly feel from the children’s seemingly discordant ga that the relationships among the adults weren’t that harmonious.

Generally speaking, the relationships among adults are often easily reflected in the relationships among children. Children, being innocent, act like mirrors.

The elevator reached the lowest level of the castle. Tang Shaohong led Old Lu out.

Old Lu had never been here before since his main work was in the kitchen, and he didn’t need to co to such places.

Crouching behind Tang Shaohong, Old Lu stepped out of the elevator, glancing around. This was truly a castle; the underground structure was reminiscent of dieval legends—gloomy, all built with bricks, unlike modern buildings turned into parking lots.

What is this place used for? Old Lu didn’t know and had never heard the people here ntion it.

Tang Shaohong grabbed a bat-like rod abandoned by soone by the wall, holding it for protection.

The two groped their way through this pitch-black place, not knowing what lay ahead.

Suddenly, a noise from behind startled them both like frightened birds.

The sound of wind whirled above their heads, followed by footsteps coming from the side.

Tang Shaohong turned back, reached out to pull Old Lu beside him, and said, "My young madam’s surna is Gu, and her husband’s surna is Xiao."

Old Lu blinked, vaguely seeing the silhouettes of two won in the dark, similar to those he saw during the day in the castle, so he called out, "Hello, Young Madam."

Tang Shaohong said to Gu Nuan, "His na is Old Lu. His daughter works at the company owned by the family here."
