Chapter 1438: The Grand Finale (24)
Could it be that she would never hear anything again? A flash of panic involuntarily crossed her mind.
Gu Ma explained with a dry mouth for a long time, seeing her daughter looking blank, she couldn’t help but ask, "Do you know what I’m saying, Nuannuan?"
Gu Nuan had to look at the note in her mother’s hand, and after clearly seeing the question her mother wrote, she replied, "They ate, yes, they ate something on the boat."
Standing at the door, Xiao Yebai suddenly clenched his fists and turned to go downstairs.
When Gu Dad emerged from the room with something and suddenly saw his son-in-law walking away, he shouted in surprise, "Yebai, where are you going?"
Downstairs, Zang Xiaolian was about to drive the family home, just planning to drive away the car. Xiao Yebai rushed down from upstairs without saying a word, directly pulling open his car door. Zang Xiaolian was startled by his inexplicable action; he had long felt that something was wrong with him, and since returning from Dark Island, he had been out of sorts. It was a strange matter. After all, hadn’t everyone been rescued? And wasn’t Luo Ke, the great villain, dead?
"Second Brother—" Zang Xiaolian asked.
Xiao Yebai’s face turned pale, as colorless as a dead person’s.
Zang Xiaolian was almost frightened to death by him and hastily began calling other brothers for help.
"Drive!" Xiao Yebai suddenly roared.
Zang Xiaolian clumsily caught his falling phone, gripped the steering wheel, and hit the gas pedal, asking, "Where does Second Brother want to go?"
Still, Xiao Yebai gave no answer.
Zang Xiaolian carefully drove the car forward. Since Xiao Yebai hadn’t said to turn, he dared not turn and had to keep going straight. He didn’t know where they had ended up until at a certain intersection ahead, a black motorcycle rushed directly at their car. Before Zang Xiaolian could react, Xiao Yebai’s foot suddenly stretched over to help him step on the brakes. The car stopped, and Xiao Yebai unlocked the door and got out directly.
The oncoming black motorcycle came to a stop.
Xiao Yebai dashed past to the motorcycle, reaching out to grab the clothes of the man on it.
Zang Xiaolian got out to follow them, standing there helplessly, looking at the two, unsure what was happening.
Pulling the other party off the motorcycle, Xiao Yebai fiercely enunciated every word to the man’s face, "Old Five, this time you can’t leave even if you die, I’m telling you! — She has no time left, no time!" Xiao Yebai shouted in rage, yet the man facing him, wearing a black motorcycle helmet, remained exceptionally calm.
Only then did Zang Xiaolian realize that the person before them was the legendary Old Five of their group of brothers—Gu Sheng.
Gu Sheng allowed Xiao Yebai to clutch his black jacket, his face hidden by the helmet, making it impossible for anyone outside to see his expression. However, a voice came from within the helmet, as cold as icy water: "So I told you, no matter what, we must find Mu first!"
"He sensed some bad omen beforehand and escaped from Dark Island early. Didn’t you guess that? So you didn’t go to Dark Island. Did you find him?"
The answer was certainly no. Gu Sheng’s silent demeanor undoubtedly poured a bucket of ice water over Xiao Yebai’s heart.
At home, Gu Ma took her two grandchildren to the bathroom for a bath. Gu Dad, puzzled as to why his son-in-law turned around as soon as he got home, paced back and forth nervously in the living room, asking his daughter, "Do you know what’s going on with Yebai?"
Gu Nuan couldn’t hear her father speaking at all. Although she could read lips, mostly lip-reading relied on guessing. This made her response to others speaking slower than usual.
