“Do you think this woman’s goal is to abduct the children? Is she trying to extort money? Or… commit murder to take revenge? But we didn’t offend anyone!” Xia He said nervously.
“Everything you mention is possible. I’ll have to trouble all of you to ensure the safety of the children during this period of time. I’ll deal with that woman. Don’t let the children leave the house. At night, I’ll have to trouble Luo Yu and Luo Hui to take turns standing guard to protect us,” Qiao Mei said.
“We will definitely protect the children well,” Luo Yu said firmly.
“Then can you cope on your own? Let me go with you and protect you!” Xia He said.
“I have a gun, so don’t worry. The most important thing now is to protect the children. It seems to me that she’s targeting the children,” Qiao Mei said with a slight frown.
“Then… then you must protect yourself well. You must tell me if anything happens!” Xia He said.
“Alright, 1 promise you,” Qiao Mei said.
All this planning was still not enough. Su Rui was Xia Zhe’s mission partner. Xia Zhe had told Qiao Mei that as partners, the two of them were not supposed to ask about each other’s personal lives and neither of them knew anything about each other’s past. The moment Su Rui started investigating Xia Zhe’s background, she had already betrayed their organization. This was a very nasty problem that needed to be dealt with as soon as possible.
Qiao Mei would not be able to solve the problem on her own. Since she could not contact Xia Zhe, she would have to contact Xia Wen. Xia Wen knew about Xia Zhe’s current mission. Even if Xia Wen did not have the authority to do anything about this issue, Xia Mao and Xia Jun definitely could get the clearance to know the details about Xia Zhe’s mission. They would definitely be able to make a reasonable judgment on this matter.
She not only needed to protect the children, but also Xia Zhe. She could not let his real identity be exposed and could not let anything happen to him.
Qiao Mei decided to have a talk with Su Rui, not at the coffee shop where Su Rui worked, but at Alice’s shop.
At the arranged timing, Su Rui arrived at Alice’s shop, dressed beautifully. The shop was currently run by Lucy, who smiled and asked, “Hi, pretty lady. What would you like to eat?”
“Hmph, I’m not here to eat. If it’s not because 1 have to meet someone here, I will never come to a small shop like yours. The food here looks terrible. Give me a glass of milk,” Su Rui said arrogantly.
Lucy wished that she could chase Su Rui out. All the food in the shop was delicious. Ever since she used Qiao Mei’s products as her main ingredients, the number of customers had increased by a lot. Now, she could make more money in one month than what she used to make in six months!
Alice felt at ease enough to go traveling around the world given that Lucy had a stable income. The entire family was very happy and they had Qiao Mei to thank for this.
Qiao Mei had told Lucy in advance that she was coming here to meet a very important person today, therefore the shop was closed to all other customers today.
Qiao Mei was caught in a traffic jam and arrived half an hour later than the appointment time. The moment Qiao Mei pushed open the door of the shop, Su Rui said sarcastically, “You’re really a big shot. You actually made me wait for you here for so long.”
“Then I’m really sorry, Miss Su. But I clearly remember that Miss Su likes to hang around and wait. That night, you waited for an even longer period of time,” Qiao Mei said with a smile as she sat opposite Su Rui.
“If not for you! There’s no way that he won’t have eyes for me!” Su Rui said furiously.
Qiao Mei did not respond to Su Rui. Lucy served Qiao Mei her favorite beverage and snacks. This was what Qiao Mei would order every time she came by. After putting the food down, Lucy went out for a walk, leaving Qiao Mei and Su Rui in the shop.
“Miss Su, you got it wrong. He has always been mine. Whether he has eyes for you or not is already a foregone conclusion,” Qiao Mei said calmly.
Since Su Rui had already found out about her, there was no need to hide anything. Su Rui must already know about her relationship with Xia Zhe.
“l thought you won’t admit that you know me. I didn’t expect you to be so sincere about it,” Su Rui said in surprise.
“Well, I never expected Miss Su to come all the way here to look for me,” Qiao Mei said coldly.
Su Rui took out a photo from her bag. It was a photo of Xia Fan and Xia Xing, with both of them facing the camera..
