Chapter 611: Chapter 611
Gu Nuan heard him get to this point, lowered her hand to interrupt his guided words, and said, "After all these years, there should have been no problems between you and them, right? Why are they preparing to make a move on Yebai now? They targeted Changda, but actually, they were aiming at Yebai, correct? Can I understand it as, my father-in-law, Chairman Xiao, actually sensed this and initially wanted to stand up for Yebai, but Yebai made my father-in-law fall asleep——"
What a terrifying woman; with just a slight hint, she could guess everything.
Zhang Sanfeng sighed softly, facing Gu Nuan as if there was something difficult to say.
Gu Nuan, already discerning his intentions from the expressions he tried to hide, said, "Does it have something to do with me? They don’t make a move on you, only on Yebai, and the opportunity is so obvious, after my interaction with Yebai, when we announced our marriage to the public."
Which is to say, the Black Hats didn’t like Yebai getting married, and definitely not the idea of Yebai having his own offspring. Actually, the motive behind the Black Hats was easy to grasp upon a little thought. Didn’t they kidnap Yebai at the start because they coveted the genes flowing in his blood?
Losing talent like Yebai and letting someone like him produce offspring would only strengthen the forces opposing them, wouldn’t it?
The Black Hats believed it was time to deal with these runaway convicts one by one.
They had indeed tried to make a move on Yebai again, but as Zang Xiaolian had said, subsequent kidnappings were ineffective against Yebai. To these people, since they had managed to escape from the clutches of evil once, it was virtually impossible for them to be subdued again so easily.
On the other hand, the Black Hats truly weren’t willing to kill this group of people; all along, they had preferred to subdue them and employ them for their own purposes.
As Gu Nuan listened, she realized that since they had no intention of killing her husband, it seemed, for the moment, that her husband’s safety could be assured.
Yebai’s safety being ensured did not, however, mean that the safety of the three Xiao sisters who were also kidnapped could be equally guaranteed.
After all, whether it was Xiao Shumei, Xiao Shuju, or Xiao Shuzhu, none of them had ever experienced such horror. Perhaps fueled by the traditional preference for boys over girls, regular kidnappings tended to target only boys, not girls. Moreover, the Xiao family was not short of girls.
The Xiao sisters, having never undergone such an ordeal, could hardly be expected to escape on their own; such an expectation would be pure folly.
If Yebai didn’t respond to the summons, the fate of Xiao Shumei and the others was predictable.
The husband had to go, even though the Xiao sisters had never been very kind to Yebai. Yet, Yebai must feel that since this incident essentially originated with him, it wouldn’t be right for these people to suffer on his account.
The so-called man of honor takes responsibility for his actions.
Yebai is such a man of honor.
The biggest problem is, no one, including Gu Nuan, and certainly her husband, had foreseen that these Xiao sisters — weren’t they always damn selfish, money-loving, and greedy? How had they suddenly become so full of righteousness and willing to make sacrifices?
If the Xiao sisters had just continued their past selfishness and self-interest, they would definitely not have fallen for such a trap. ᴛhis chapter is ᴜpdated by 𝔫𝔬𝔳𝔢𝔩⁂𝔣𝔦𝔯𝔢⁂𝔫𝔢𝔱
People turning from bad to good suddenly caused more problems. It was better when they remained bad all the time.
The series of thoughts that flashed through Gu Nuan’s mind were likely giving her husband, who was now bravely facing the situation alone, a deeper sense of these feelings and tastes.
