"Whew..."
The instant those words fell, it was as if an icy wind had howled through the entire venue.
Jin Liwu and the dozen or so captains' eyes widened wildly, while every guest's body gave a slight shudder. Everyone knew that Yao Yulou's wife had been kidnapped last night!
Had Madam Yao been rescued already? And had she identified Wan Tonghui?
In the next instant, everyone's eyes turned in unison toward Wan Tonghui. Could he be the kidnapper?
Then, all gazes shifted to Sikong Jing. Jin Liwu and the other captains exchanged looks. They had previously concluded that Sikong Jing likely held something over Wan Tonghui—most likely this kidnapping.
Because Sikong Jing had been the first to chase after them, and now he had suddenly appeared at the Yang Residence.
That was why Wan Tonghui had no choice but to accept his challenge.
But strangely, why would Wan Tonghui kidnap Yao Yulou's wife?
No one could make sense of it. Yang Li, still in Yang Zhi's arms, wanted to step out and refute it, but Yang Zhi stopped her.
Since Duanmu Chun had begun questioning the matter and was holding an open hearing, nothing they said now would be of any use.
At this moment, Yang Zhi only wanted to wait for Di Geng and Li Feng to arrive, then see how they could turn the situation around. For now, he merely shot Wan Tonghui a covert look, telling him to keep denying it to the end.
Wan Tonghui immediately caught Yang Zhi's glance, and his heart settled slightly.
Father-in-law really knew. Father-in-law was still standing on his side first—he wanted to protect him.
"Wasn't Madam Yao kidnapped?" With that thought, Wan Tonghui replied softly, "How could she say that I went to Nameless Mountain Manor in Chaos District Two?
