Chapter 1577 Officially Becoming a Military Spouse
Qiao Mei did not want Qiao Yu to die so easily. Death was too good an end for her. It was a much more difficult thing to continue living. She definitely wanted Qiao Yu to live a life worse than death.
After the military finished their investigation, they handed all the suspects to the police. After all, the military did not have the right to charge people for crimes. These things could only be done by the police. Zou Ming volunteered to be in charge of this case. He definitely would not let Qiao Yu off easily.
When Su Yang could not find Qiao Yu, he went asking around and finally managed to get the news from Brother Sun and Brother Zhao.
"Brother Sun, can you help me look for my wife! My wife is missing!" Su Yang said anxiously.
"Oh, you still don't know!" Brother Sun said as he looked at Su Yang in shock.
Looking lost, Su Yang asked, "Know what? Brother Sun, tell me more. Do you know where my wife is!"
"Your wife has offended the Xia family! I don't think she'll be able to go home! I hear that she's extremely bold. Not only did she steal all the jewelry from Madam Qiao, but she also kidnapped that lady's son! Do you think they will let your wife off?" Brother Sun said.
"Then where is she now? Has she been arrested?" Su Yang asked fearfully.
"Of course she was arrested. She was caught on the day itself. You don't have to wait for her. Just prepare for her funeral. This time, she has offended someone she shouldn't have," Brother Zhao lamented.
"What! How can this be!" Su Yang said in shock.
Su Yang would believe it if they said that Qiao Yu committed a crime out of greed, but she did not even dare to slaughter a chicken, so how could she have kidnapped Qiao Mei's child? This was his new wife! How could she be gone just like that now? They told him to prepare for her funeral! He did not even have the money to settle his own funeral!
Su Yang had no way to save Qiao Yu. He was currently penniless and did not even have money for food. If he had not run out of money, he would not have come looking for Qiao Yu. If Qiao Yu had committed such a big crime, the Xia family definitely would not let him off too. What if they came for him!
Overnight, Su Yang packed his things and bought a train ticket to leave the capital. Qiao Yu had told him before that back in the village, Qiao Mei had sent Qiao Yu's elder brother to jail. Su Yang's brother had already gotten into trouble, so he was scared that Qiao Mei would come after him too. If he did not take the chance to run away now, he might have to spend the rest of his life in jail!
After everything was settled, Xia Zhe prepared to bring Qiao Mei and the two children to live at the army base. Before the trip, he even specially brought Qiao Mei to see Xia Fang for a checkup. Everything was fine and there was nothing unusual. Only then did everyone feel at ease to let Qiao Mei leave with Xia Zhe.
Along the way, Qiao Mei bought a lot of nice things, mainly useful items. She did not bring along too many of the children's things, only their favorite toys and the books which Xia Wen had prepared for them.
Even the pram she brought along was an old one. It was better not to flaunt their wealth outside. What if people gossiped about her and it caused trouble for Xia Zhe? She did not want to give the impression that she was very rich.
Fortunately, she did not make an appearance in the publicity materials for the factory. The He family had also spent money to remove all traces of the news related to the scandal. Very few people knew that she was the director of Osmanthus Food Factory.
During the period when Qiao Mei had to stay at home, Xia Zhe had already moved to the single-story house. The place was clean and tidy and it surprised Qiao Mei as she thought that she would have to clean up when she arrived!
"Wow, it's so clean and it's already furnished! Did you do all this yourself?" Qiao Mei asked curiously.
"Yes, we usually have three hours to spend outside the base, so I use the time to go out and buy things we need. If there's anything I missed out, you can get someone to go out and buy for you," Xia Zhe said thoughtfully.
"My husband is the best! You have been gone from work for so long. Shouldn't you go and check on things? Go quickly. I can take charge here!" Qiao Mei said as she patted her chest.
Xia Zhe hugged Qiao Mei for a while before leaving reluctantly to go to work. If he went in too late, he might have to leave work late. Then, he would wake the children and Qiao Mei if they were already sleeping.
