Contract Marriage: Billionaire and His Deaf Wife
Chapter 1365: The Child Is Missing (9)
Isabel just froze for a moment, then burst into laughter.
The world of children is difficult to comprehend. Seeing the owner so happily laughing, unprecedentedly joyful, even those black-clad men lost their urge to protest.
"Xiaobai, can I shake your hand?" The female fan asked earnestly, with adoring eyes directed at the second monkey.
The second monkey thought that if it were his brother, he would surely refuse, but seeing the girl’s sincere gaze, he felt he couldn’t bear to refuse. Alright, he reached out on behalf of his brother to fulfill her small wish, and also help his brother gain some popularity. Because judging by how this girl looks, she’s definitely wealthy. If his brother ever needed money, she would surely send it over immediately.
As the two kids shook hands — something happened.
A black-clad man hurried over from a distance and whispered in Carter’s ear.
After hearing the words, Carter’s expression became extremely solemn, and he bent over to say to Isabel, "Ma’am, we must leave here immediately."
"It was hard for me to finally see Xiaobai and talk to Xiaobai." Isabel was unhappy.
"But, ma’am, now is not the time to talk to him—"
The second monkey received a glance from Carter, who had a hint of reluctance in his eyes.
In no time at all, a group of men with ill intentions, also dressed in black, appeared at the entrance of the activity area.
Nala saw something was wrong and quickly led the second monkey away from the dangerous area. However, Carter needed to delay those people from catching up. While protecting Isabel, he commanded others on site to create chaos to obstruct them.
The crowd had no idea what was happening, they just kept surging, running, turning into a violently chaotic scene. Nala was squeezed by the crowd, unable to differentiate between east and west, north and south. When she gathered her senses, she saw Carter walking ahead, while the second monkey and Isabel, two little children, were running ahead hand in hand, quickly disappearing from sight.
Nala became anxious and opened her mouth to call the children.
Carter turned around and glared at her: if you make a sound, none of us will have a chance.
What on earth is happening with these people? Nala thought deeply and came to a terrifying conclusion: Could it be they accidentally fell into a gang conflict in this city?
Feeling it was necessary to call the police, as she bent down to dial the phone number, she suddenly heard a thud beside her. She looked down to find Carter face-down on the ground, not moving, with a large pool of bright red blood flowing from a black hole in his forehead, constantly oozing out, soon soaking the cement and dirt beneath.
At this point, they were already out of the building, in a New York alley.
Nala couldn’t even let out a sound, just stared blankly at Carter’s gradually cooling body, and then she raised her hands high, her phone dropping to the ground. Because a gun was pressed against her chest from behind.
The gunmen surrounded her, kicking the motionless Carter on the ground, continuing to search the surrounding area and ask, "Where did the young lady go?"
Nala shook her head, she really didn’t know.
After intimidating her, they saw she truly didn’t know, so they tied her up and forced her into a speeding black car.
This scene fell into the unwavering gaze of two small pairs of eyes.
Once these scary people drove off, Mingli crawled out from under the car parked on the road and pulled Isabel out from underneath the car with his small hand.
Isabel’s small face was as white as paper, her lips quivering.
Mingli leaned closer to her lips and heard her murmuring Carter’s name.
"You being alive is the best for him." The second monkey patted her shoulder to console her.
Isabel looked up at his little face, suddenly feeling a pang in her eyes.
"Don’t cry!" The second monkey quickly covered her little mouth, "We don’t know if they’ll come back, we need to leave quickly."
"Where to?" Isabel asked.
"First let’s get to a place with more people, we can hide there." The second monkey’s little brain was unexpectedly clear.
Following behind him, Isabel said while walking, "You’re really amazing, Xiaobai, if it weren’t for you, I’d have died."
"You speak Chinese really well." The second monkey changed the topic, honestly, his two little legs were shaking with fear. If it weren’t for being with her, if he were with his brother, he would surely be crying in his brother’s arms now.
"Because my mom is Chinese."
"Huh?" The second monkey turned his head to ask her, "What exactly is your background, why do they want to catch you?"
"Maybe they want to use me to threaten my father."
"What does your dad do?"
"I don’t know what my dad does either." Isabel said this filled with guilt and fear, her small voice saying, "I’m sorry for involving you."
The second monkey wanted to act manly and tell her it was okay, but soon he couldn’t muster the sound, instead he sighed to her: "Seems I’m sorry for getting you involved too."
Suddenly, in front of the two of them, stood a man.
