Chapter 109: Chapter 109 Mrs. Xiao’s Identity Begins to Be Exposed (5)

Zhan Dapeng’s complexion instantly turned pale as he tried to speak calmly, "The trucks that transport materials, if they haven’t been unloaded and the goods haven’t been inspected and approved for use at the construction site, it’s not our responsibility, nor the builder’s."

Xiao Yebai didn’t respond to his explanation.

Zhan Dapeng knew that his defense seemed feeble and powerless. After all these incidents had occurred, he was still taking it lightly. Everyone here, including him from the engineering department, deserved a reprimand.

Allowing a truck in casually was clearly providing an opportunity for mischief, wasn’t it?

So, it seemed somewhat clearer how Gu Nuan and the others ended up trapped.

Someone had planned to cause trouble at the construction site, and just happened to see Gu Nuan and her group arriving, took the chance and acted on a crooked impulse.

Not knowing whether the troublemaker was still at the site, Xiao Yebai and Zhan Dapeng each picked up a couple of iron rods for protection before heading towards the main building.

The topped-off main building stood tall in the dark night, surrounded by the sound of the wind and cranes, while inside it was as silent as if deserted.

Looking up at the roof, perhaps because the iron scaffolding hadn’t been completely dismantled, he couldn’t see anything, and thus didn’t know the condition of the people trapped up there.

Xiao Yebai felt his heart inexplicably pounding wildly, like a cow that had broken free from its reins.

His primary doctor had told him that he wasn’t allergic to her, perhaps because she represented something psychologically unique to him.

From meeting her to now, less than a month, they spoke of marriage, yet it was a marriage agreement, with no real marital relationship between them.

Xiao Yebai couldn’t discern exactly what his primary doctor meant, but, undoubtedly, at this moment he was very anxious, very worried.

These feelings for a woman were all firsts for him, feeling as though they were etched deep into his heart.

He involuntarily touched his chest.

Seeing this, Zhan Dapeng asked anxiously, "Second brother, what’s wrong?"

"It’s nothing" Xiao Yebai briefly replied, waving his hand, and led him straight into the building, while his mind still kept thinking: If something happened to her, no, even if nothing happened, he, Xiao Yebai, wouldn’t let off anyone who dared to confine her!

The elevator reached the top floor, and as soon as the door opened, Xiao Yebai was the first to rush out.

Zhan Dapeng followed closely behind him, sprinting up the stairs to the rooftop. At the end of the stairs, they saw the entrance’s iron door barred and locked with a large padlock.

No wonder Gu Nuan and the others were trapped up there; they were unable to escape.

Xiao Yebai shone a flashlight on the keyhole.

Zhan Dapeng handed him a piece of wire.

Perhaps hearing the noise, someone on the other side of the iron gate asked cautiously, "Who is it? The police?"

Recognizing the voice as Donald Duck’s, Zhan Dapeng said, "Commissioner Tang, it’s me, Zhan Dapeng."

"Director Zhan!" Tang Qingzhong exclaimed with joy.

Gu Nuan followed behind Tang Qingzhong, faintly listening to their conversation.

Hearing that it was Zhan Dapeng coming to their rescue made Gu Nuan’s eyelids twitch uncontrollably.

Why was it Zhan Dapeng?

"Director Zhan, how did you get here?" Tang Qingzhong, overwhelmed with emotion, started to tear up, yet couldn’t help but feel puzzled.

They had been trapped here for hours, cold and hungry, and had prepared for the worst.

Zhan Dapeng was from the engineering design department. Why would he suddenly care about their Commerce Unit Three? Because even the people from the commerce department didn’t know they were in trouble.

At this, Gu Nuan vaguely sensed something. She placed her hand over her heart, feeling it beat nearly twice as fast as usual.
