Chapter 608: Chapter 608

After much consideration, it seemed this possibility was the most reliable explanation. Years ago, when Xiao Yebai was kidnapped, the police had replaced the Xiao Family in the pursuit of the culprits for many years, yet they never managed to bring them to justice. When asked about it, Yebai would only say one thing: "I forgot everything."

As a result, no one knew what those criminals did to Yebai, their younger brother. Were there any cruel acts? They had no idea. Apart from some superficial scrapes on his body, Yebai hadn’t suffered any fatal injuries after being rescued.

The psychologist explained that the trauma was so severe that young Yebai had forgotten everything. Looking back now, Yebai’s frantic demeanor seemed to have intensified after his return.

"If it really was those people—" Shuju clenched her teeth, "we shouldn’t let them off the hook, let’s take revenge for Yebai!"

Shumei and Shuzhu, however, weren’t as impulsively hot-blooded as their youngest sister. They only worried, knowing that if these were indeed the kidnappers from back then, their chances might be quite slim this time.

In the mansion on the mountain

The heavy rain lashed out, but the antenna was not damaged.

A video call was taking place in an isolated room.

When Zhang Sanfeng tried to follow inside, he was stopped by Yebai at the doorway.

"This is my family matter, they want to see my disgrace, not yours. Wait outside. I will call you if needed."

Zhang Sanfeng squinted his eyes, staring at his face, and with difficulty, finally nodded.

After Yebai entered the room, Zhang Sanfeng immediately picked up his phone to dial a number while tightly clenching his fists on his disabled legs. At that moment, he truly hated that his legs couldn’t move!

Yebai walked to the center of the room where a liquid crystal screen displaying a call was set up, showing the face of a man with red hair and green eyes.

This man was none other than Luo Ke, previously referred to by Kang Junjia and others.

"Long time no see, Yebai," Luo Ke flashed a row of very bright teeth.

Just from his tone, it was clear he had known Yebai for many years; thus, the person’s actual age was certainly not less than forty, far younger than the face shown on the screen.

Yebai lazily brushed his bangs from his forehead and remained silent.

"What, don’t recognize me anymore? If not, should I invite others over, show you how those crocodiles are doing?" Luo Ke said, his expression shaking his head extravagantly, looking crazier than Yebai.

"So, what do you want?"

Hearing Yebai finally speak, Luo Ke laughed loudly, "Looks like our crocodile friends are very effective, you all really like them, don’t you?" Thɪs chapter is updated by 𝕟𝕠𝕧𝕖𝕝✦𝕗𝕚𝕣𝕖✦𝕟𝕖𝕥

Yebai’s lips twitched slightly with a snort.

"Okay, you must know, we have your sisters in our hands now. You know what we want,"

"What?" Yebai acted surprised, "Why kidnap them? Don’t you know they’re useless?"

"Mm, we’ve considered whether your sisters would stir your emotions. Perhaps, kidnapping your wife would be better?"

Yebai huffed, "Can’t accept a loss, resorting to such actions, don’t you feel it’s disgraceful?"

"You say we can’t accept losing?" Luo Ke narrowed his ice-green eyes, "Don’t forget, Yebai, all your skills were taught by us. You and your gang, didn’t we raise you? And in terms of black-market funds, our funds absolutely surpass yours. Don’t even think about using your money to scare us off like that fool."

"You won’t know unless you try, will you?"

Luo Ke’s face darkened, undoubtedly irritated by Yebai’s flippant attitude.

"Our vehicle will come for you. You are to come alone."

"If I come over, will you release them?"

"It depends on the situation."

The call ended there.

The screen went black, and Luo Ke vanished into the darkness.

Yebai stood up from the dark small room and walked to the door, pulling the handle.

Outside, the voices of Zhang Sanfeng and Zhan Dapeng talking reached his ears.

"Anyway, Dapeng, I’m counting on you to accompany him. My legs are disabled. Others accompanying him will definitely not be agreed upon by them; only people like us—"

The sound of Zhang Sanfeng’s call drifted down the wooden cottage corridor as Gu Nuan stood there. Despite the thunderous rain from the sky, she should have been unable to hear anything.

As Zhang Sanfeng hung up the phone and turned around, following Yebai’s gaze, he noticed her presence.

She stood there silently, dressed only in a thin garment, almost like a white ghost.

The sight was startling.

Zhang Sanfeng suddenly felt tense, afraid he might have done something wrong.

Yebai, looking like he had no intention of speaking, expressionlessly turned around and walked down the steps.

Uncle Qi ran over, quickly handing him an umbrella, and shone a flashlight in the dark, lighting the way ahead.

Was he leaving? Planning not to say a word?

Gu Nuan’s eyes flickered briefly before she abruptly turned around.

Zhang Sanfeng maneuvered his electric wheelchair along the corridor to her side and whispered, "There will be no trouble. Yebai is not the old Yebai anymore; besides, we escaped from that dreadful place before, let alone now—"

Gu Nuan turned around, her eyes intensely narrowing at Zhang Sanfeng.
