Silly Bride novel (Winnie and Xavier)

Chapter 176

“I knew you could do it since you were so confident! In all seriousness, since you told the public you’re no longer mentally challenged, you’ve never disappointed us.”

Josiah could not help but glance at Winnie after he said those words.

He continued, “You’re amazing. You keep gaining new talents, and every new identity of yours is more incredible than the last.”

Winnie smiled. Internally, she had accepted Josiah’s praise since he was speaking the truth.

Just as she was going to accept her praise as a matter of course, her smile faded as she realized that Josiah’s words was not entirely accurate.

After she stopped acting like a mentally challenged person, she had not been able to deal with everything smoothly. For instance, she could not get to the bottom of the needles which Yulissa had used on Xavier.

She furrowed her brows. “Actually, I’m not as amazing as you said. Don’t we have a challenging issue at hand? Oh, right. Have you gotten any information on the thing I asked you about?”

Josiah nodded. “How can I not obey your orders? You instructed me to ask around whether there are monkeys in this mountain or not. I did just that, but when the villagers heard my question, they stared at me like I’d lost my mind.”

Winnie was amused by Josiah’s words. She chuckled lightly. “Your briefcase had been snatched by a monkey. Aren’t you curious about that animal?”

“There’s only hate! I do not find it interesting! I’m pretty sure my briefcase is in Yolanda’s hands. I’ve already asked around. The villagers here confirmed that there are many wild animals in the mountain, but there are no monkeys. The only monkey they’ve ever seen is the one from the Xander family. Rumor has it that Old Mr. Xander saved the monkey from another mountain a few years ago. Initially, he wanted to release it back into the mountain, but the monkey grew on him after a month and refused to leave. Old Mr. Xander had no choice but to bring the monkey back to Yaleview. I have reasons to believe that Yolanda was the one who instigated the monkey to take my briefcase.”

“I think so too.” Winnie patted Josiah’s shoulder. She continued, “Let’s wait. If we get to meet Old Mr. Xander, we may be able to get your briefcase back.”

“Let’s go find it in the mountain. We still have time. The villagers said that Old Mr. Xander has many herb fields, so even Yolanda may not be able to find him immediately. The main problem is that we can’t get his phone number in such a short time! Otherwise, we wouldn’t be searching for him like a headless chicken.”

The more Josiah spoke, the more frustrated he felt. “We just want to meet him! Why is it so hard?”

“Don’t get upset. We will meet him eventually,” Winnie said as she walked forward with her briefcase.

However, she did not enter the mountain. Instead, she selected a spacious land at the foot of the mountain.

After making sure that there was no one around, she opened the silver briefcase she had been carrying around.

Once the briefcase was opened, Josiah was baffled.

Other than a drone, there were many high-tech items he had never seen before.

“What are you trying to do? Are you trying to get an aerial view? But there are many trees in the mountain. The forest is dense. You might not be able to see anything even if there are people inside.”

“I know, so I have something else prepared.”

“What is it?”

“Take this!” Winnie did not explain her plan to Josiah. Instead, she let him help her out.

She passed a small, black signal transmitter to Josiah before she turned on her laptop to set up her equipment.

“Press the button on the left side. The green signal will light up. If it’s red, let me know.”

Josiah followed her instructions. “Right, the green light is on. What’s next? Should I tune this antenna?”

“No need. I have already set it up on the laptop. You can try to hold the signal transmitter higher.”

“And?”

Winnie pressed a button on her laptop. “It’s done.”
