Chapter 1001 Miss Gao Spying on the Enemy
Seeing the man's expression, Gao Xiao'e understood even more.
In order to rescue Xiao Wenbo, she must figure out the situation of the courtyard and find the room where Xiao Wenbo is being held.
This was Zhou Renjie's instruction; only by determining the specific detention location could the people arranged by Zhou Renjie successfully rescue Xiao Wenbo.
"Is there something wrong with this courtyard? Why can't I go in?"
Gao Xiao'e pretended to know nothing and quickly asked.
"Of course, no problem. It's just an ordinary courtyard. There's really nothing to see inside, Miss. Let's not go in!"
That person naturally dared not say that her uncle was imprisoned here.
"Since it's just an ordinary courtyard, I'll just take a quick look around and leave. Anyway, I'm going to explore every corner of the Xiao family today! After all, this is the family business built by my maternal grandfather."
Gao Xiao'e waved her hand and quickly walked into the courtyard.
"Miss, you really can't go inside!"
The man's expression immediately changed drastically.
"Why not? No, something's wrong with this courtyard. Is someone being held inside?"
Gao Xiao'e's face darkened, and she questioned him sharply.
"No, absolutely not! How could our Xiao family detain someone without authorization? We are a prestigious family, and we are the most law-abiding!"
The man quickly tried to explain.
"Since you don't have any, what are you afraid of?"
Besides, I am Gao Xiao'e, a respectable young lady from a prominent family. I'm not an outsider; what is there that I can't stand?
Gao Xiao'e deliberately raised her voice, and then quickly walked inside again.
"Miss, you really can't come in!"
The man blocked Gao Xiao'e's path.
Just then, a faint shout came from a room in the northwest corner of the courtyard.
Although the voice was somewhat hoarse, Gao Xiao'e immediately recognized the owner of the voice as her uncle, Xiao Wenbo.
She had met her uncle twice and spoken to him on the phone, so she remembered his voice.
"You're really something else. There's clearly no one inside, why do you have to block my way? It's ridiculous and boring!"
After confirming the room where Xiao Wenbo was being held, Gao Xiao'e was secretly pleased, but she did not continue to force her way in, lest she reveal her weakness.
As she spoke, she turned around and walked away.
Just then, a sound came from that room again, clearly a loud cry for help.
Gao Xiao'e felt a pang of pity. Without a doubt, her uncle Xiao Wenbo had heard her voice and was pleading with her for help, hoping she could rescue him.
His hatred for Madam Xiao, Xiao Yuanqing, and Xiao Ran intensified.
"Xiao Ran, you did such a heinous thing to me, I will never let you get away with this, and I will never let your engagement banquet go smoothly!"
"And that old woman, she's the most vicious of all. She actually imprisoned her own husband, my uncle, and wouldn't let him attend her daughter's engagement party. She's utterly inhuman! I'm going to give her a good thrashing!"
Gao Xiao'e now realized that among the entire Xiao family, Xiao Ran and Madam Xiao were the most vicious, and all of this was done by the mother and daughter.
She immediately circled the small courtyard again to familiarize herself with the terrain before quietly leaving.
The person imprisoned in that room was Xiao Wenbo.
After suffering a stroke, Xiao Wenbo was left with hemiplegia and difficulty moving his hands and feet. He is currently being held captive in this room by Madam Xiao, locked up with iron locks, and guarded by two people outside.
He was naturally furious. The once glorious head of the Xiao family was now being imprisoned as a prisoner, simply because they were afraid that his appearance would embarrass his daughter's engagement banquet.
This is intolerable!
At this moment, Xiao Wenbo was filled with shame, anger, and extreme resentment.
What saddened, disappointed, and resented him even more was that his beloved daughter, Xiao Ran, had never called him, never visited him, and had not even told him about her engagement. She completely disregarded him.
This indifference chilled his heart completely.
Just as he was filled with despair and shame, he suddenly heard Gao Xiao'e's voice. Xiao Wenbo immediately shouted for help, hoping that Gao Xiao'e could hear him and rescue him.
If he could regain his freedom, he would definitely take revenge on Madam Xiao, expose her and Xiao Yuanqing's vicious deeds, and reclaim his position as head of the Xiao family.
Xiao Wenbo was already eccentric and arrogant, having served as the head of the family for many years and acted with impunity. Now, he was suddenly overthrown by a joint force of Madam Xiao, Xiao Yuanqing, and Xiao Ran. Xiao Yuanqing forcibly took over and imprisoned him like a criminal. This huge change filled him with anger and resentment, which had already caused him to lose his composure.
During this period, he not only hated his wife, Madam Xiao, but also hated Xiao Ran and Xiao Yuanqing with a vengeance.
These were the very people who made him lose face and couldn't hold his head up, and who also took away his position as head of the family and all his power. They were his mortal enemies.
Adding to the fact that he was imprisoned at the engagement banquet and treated like a human being, Xiao Wenbo's hatred was further fueled.
At this moment, he wished he could immediately expose their evil deeds to the public and let the whole world condemn Madam Xiao, Xiao Yuanqing, and Xiao Ran.
So his only hope at this moment was that Gao Xiao'e could hear his cries and rescue him.
If he could get away, he would rush to the engagement banquet as soon as possible and expose the scandals of Madam Xiao, Xiao Yuanqing, and Xiao Ran in front of all the major families and powerful figures in the capital.
But soon, he was disappointed.
Gao Xiao'e was stopped and taken away.
At this moment, Xiao Wenbo was like a mad beast, roaring and howling incessantly, even the two guards outside were terrified.
Regardless, he was once the head of the Xiao family.
Gao Xiao'e finally found out where Xiao Wenbo was being held, stopped wandering around, and quickly returned to her room.
The servants who had been following her breathed a sigh of relief when they saw that Gao Xiao'e was behaving herself, and they stayed outside the room without leaving her side.
After entering the house, Gao Xiao'e immediately called Zhou Renjie to explain the situation.
Zhou Renjie was overjoyed: "My dear wife, I'm so sorry to have wronged you. This time I will definitely make you proud and get rid of this humiliation! Don't worry, someone will contact you soon. Just tell them the courtyard where your uncle is being held and its location, and they will rescue him immediately and send him directly to the engagement ceremony."
Zhou Renjie said with a smile that he had not expected the Xiao family to be so ruthless as to imprison Xiao Wenbo.
His understanding of Xiao Ran became clearer and clearer. This woman was definitely not simple. She inherited her mother Madam Xiao's ruthlessness and would stop at nothing to achieve her goals, even disregarding her own father.
Gao Xiao'e was overjoyed upon hearing this: "Great, I'll wait for the good news! It's just a pity I can't go to the scene; they definitely won't let me show up."
"Don't go to the scene. There will definitely be a lot of videos leaked from there. You can watch them slowly later."
If you go there, it will definitely arouse their suspicion.
Knowing their ruthlessness, if they found out it was you, they would never let you off! You just stay put.
Zhou Renjie quickly comforted Gao Xiao'e.
Two minutes after the two hung up the phone, Gao Xiao'e received a call on her cell phone.
