Book 1: Chapter 102

When I heard this, my heart thumped. After Xiao Hua hung up, I sat across from Uncle Two, who asked me, "Are you still leaving?"

I shook my head, "No."

I started one-handedly typing out a text message asking about Black Glasses, but decided against it when I was halfway through. I sighed, suddenly feeling very restless. I knew what Black Glasses problem was, but Xiao Hua coming to talk to me about it meant that there was probably something he couldnt handle.

I was already very skilled, but basically no one in this world could hide anything from Uncle Two. He immediately gave me a look, but didn't ask any more questions.

While we continued to eat, Fatty started asking Uncle Two what they had found out during this period. Uncle Two didn't say much, just told Fatty to wait and that news was on the way.

Xiao Hua arrived less than five minutes later. He was wearing a gray T-shirt instead of his signature pink shirt and had a pink ring snugly wrapped around his finger. He had lost a lot of weight and looked younger than me. I sighed, its good to have money.

Xiao Hua nodded to Uncle Two, "Uncle Two."

Uncle Two looked at the ring on Xiao Huas finger and said quietly, "Wu Xie has something to do tonight, so keep it short."

"And then what?" I didn't know Xiao Hua could trace a text back without a source, but I felt that I really had wanted to be tricked at that time. In the past, my first reaction wouldve definitely been the same as Xiao Hua's, but I didnt know why I had ignored this possibility at the time.

"Then I hired Black Glasses and told him to go and take a look," Xiao Hua said.

Isn't Black Glasses busy with his own affairs? I asked myself. But after Xiao Hua's previous phone call, I didn't dare mention this information.

Xiao Hua continued, "He sent back some photos and videos, saying that someone was staying in the village to find out why all the villagers were mute. You can look at the videos yourself. Ill send them to you."

I took out my phone and Xiao Hua sent me a video on WeChat. When I clicked on it, I saw an old man using sign language, a girl with a ponytail on the side taking notes, and a strongly accented voice in the background translating the sign language, "The children here are normal at birth. They become mute after their first thunderstorm."
