"Why are there always three?" Zhan Dapeng counted over and over, "Isn’t it supposed to be seven in total?"

"It’s six," Wei Changqing said, "Second brother and sister-in-law were ruthless and burned the clues to the Ruan Family’s keys."

It must be said that Xiao Yebai and Gu Nuan, this couple really are quick to strike first!

"So it means only six keys are left, is it meaningful?"

"Perhaps they think it is meaningful, it’s always worth gathering the six keys to see what’s going on," Wei Changqing speculated on the black hat’s thoughts.

The others thought his words made sense too, because obviously the black hat would never agree to quit, knowing the painting was destroyed but still taking Little Mingli. The black hat kidnaps these people with only one goal, to trade for the keys they hold.

"We can’t wait for them to propose terms to exchange keys with us," Wei Changqing laid out his strategy, "We must take the initiative and stop being led passively by them."

"So, apart from looking for the Dark Island, should we send a message to the fifth brother? Who knows if he has any family keys," Zhan Dapeng considered.

Are we talking about the black hat getting the Ou Family’s keys?

Actually, that’s not right either, the Ou Family originally didn’t have the surname Ou. Didn’t the black hat know about this? Actually, the Ou Family’s ancestors had the surname Gu.

At this point, everyone suddenly woke up: My goodness, wasn’t it that back then, what the black hat really wanted to kidnap was actually Ou Yanan, the true descendant of the Gu Family. Because of Ou Chunhua, ended up kidnapping the fifth brother.

Ou Yanan noticed all eyes turning to him, unable to speak for a long time, nor knowing how to explain anything. He really knew nothing, except knowing the guy complained about this world.

After observing Ou Yanan’s expression, Wei Changqing concluded, "The fifth brother and this guy are really not the same at all." 𝒻𝑟𝘦𝘦𝘸ℯ𝒷𝑛𝘰𝓋ℯ𝘭.𝘤𝘰𝘮

"What’s that?" Zhan Dapeng asked.

"Don’t you think his expression was as ignorant as a baby?"

Gu Nuan had already felt it before, one of her two brothers was white, the other black.

Ou Yanan was obviously unhappy with being called a clueless baby, retorted to the sixth brother, "When you need a doctor, you’ll know if my expression is like a baby’s."

The sixth brother suddenly choked.

Zhan Dapeng raised his eyebrows at the sixth brother: Serves you right.

The phone rang. Ring ring ring.

Xiao Yebai and Gu Nuan simultaneously answered their phones.

On the line with Gu Nuan were Chen Jiaming and a group of colleagues. Sister Yao spoke for everyone, saying, "We’re all restless, we’re flying over to you. Whether we can help or not, we want to come over and check on you first."

Seeing how things were, Gu Nuan replied, "Okay, be careful on the road."

"Are you okay?" Sister Yao felt choked with emotion, understanding Gu Nuan’s feelings better than anyone as a mother.

Gu Nuan said, "I’m fine."

Sister Yao hesitated, then said admiringly, "If I were you, I’d be panicking."

"It doesn’t help,"

"You’re right. Wait for us to arrive. Oh, we heard your husband’s third sister is also on her way."

Sister Yao’s information coincidentally matched the call Xiao Yebai received.

The caller with Xiao Yebai was the third sister of the Xiao Family. Xiao Shuju said, "Fourth sister and I are taking a car. Fourth brother-in-law can’t make it, he’s staying home with their two kids. But he said if you need his help, just ask, and he’ll do it, even if it kills him."

Xiao Yebai chuckled and said, "As long as he’s nice to fourth sister, I don’t need him."

"Look at you being so arrogant," Xiao Shuju pursed her lips, "Dad knows and is flying to you. But grandma probably doesn’t know, didn’t dare to tell her."

Despite past conflicts of the family, now everyone was united.

Xiao Shuju said softly, "Fourth sister and I think Mingli might be with the eldest sister. With the aunt protecting Mingli, he’ll be fine."

After a brief pause, Xiao Yebai replied heavily, "Of course!"

After hanging up, Xiao Shuju realized she forgot to tell her brother about their father Xiao Jianming’s flight. Knowing as per their information, Xiao Jianming’s flight should have reached New York City.

Arriving at the airport, Xiao Jianming didn’t immediately ask Uncle Tang to call his son, because he saw a familiar person.

It was Old Master Zhong. Upon hearing Zhang Sanfeng’s call, he rushed over through rain or shine to see his granddaughter.

Old Master Zhong realized someone was watching him, turned to see Xiao Jianming, and exclaimed, "You are—"

Xiao Jianming approached, standing before him and extending his hand, "Long time no see, old master."

"Oh, oh—" Old Master Zhong removed his little hat, gracefully shaking Xiao Jianming’s hand, asking, "Why are you here?"

"Came to see son, grandson, and daughter-in-law," Xiao Jianming replied, "What about you, old master?"

"Came to see my granddaughter," Old Master Zhong aimed to boost his spirits.

"I think we’re headed to the same place, why not go together?" Xiao Jianming suggested.

Old Master Zhong considered it and nodded, "Fine."

The two got into an airport taxi together. Uncle Tang directed the driver.

"Did the old master come out alone?" Xiao Jianming admired the elderly man’s vigor going about freely.

Old Master Zhong chuckled, "You don’t know, I didn’t dare tell anyone, especially the parents, worried about more complications."

"What do you mean?"

Old Master Zhong probably welled with frustration, saying, "When marrying off a daughter, if her intended family didn’t match expectations and there were unexpected issues, it would be quite the ordeal."

He referred to the Zhang Family’s second brother asking the Zhong Family for money right when Zhong Qiaohui’s parents realized their daughter objected, sparking conflict between both families again.
