Before Xia Zhe left, he had specially instructed the bodyguards that when he was not around, Qiao Mei was the head of the house. Qiao Mei’s commands were akin to his commands. To them, he was indirectly acknowledging Qiao Mei as their lady boss!
For the sake of Xia Zhe’s happiness in the future, they vowed to protect Qiao Mei well. They could not let their boss come back from his business trip to find out that the lady boss was missing. If that happened, the few of them would not be able to bear the consequences of their failure!
Da Nan had specially gone to check on the situation outside and to find out about what the Zhang family had been doing. He also investigated all the people who were related to the Zhang family. The information he obtained contained detailed records of how the Zhang family became rich and who the Zhang family had offended over the years. Da Nan spent a lot of money to get the information from a private investigator.
However, it was very likely that the information had already been tampered with. After all, the Zhang family was very powerful now. In recent years, many people had also secretly investigated the Zhang family’s background but in the end, these people either met with trouble in their families or ended up pledging allegiance to the Zhang family. There were no exceptions at all.
After Qiao Mei woke up, she went to retrieve the necklace and ring. She observed the two items carefully but did not seem to feel anything special from them. Although there was energy inside them, they did not really respond to Qiao Mei, as if they did not want to communicate with her.
Qiao Mei felt that she had probably approached them in the wrong way and that she needed to study them in detail. She decided to hide the jewelry for now. She definitely could not keep such precious things at home. There would be trouble if the Zhang family asked the police to come here and conduct another search.
She threw the jewelry box out of the window and the vines on the ground immediately caught the box. Not long after, these vines wrapped around the jewelry box and burrowed into the ground. It was no longer visible and there were no traces on the surface.
“Knock, knock, knock.” Someone knocked on Qiao Mei’s door.
“Come in,” Qiao Mei said as she sat in the rocking chair by the window.
“My brother really knows you very well. There’s a rocking chair for you in every room,” Xia He said helplessly after closing the door.
“Yes, he had prepared all these before I came here. What’s up?” Qiao Mei asked.
“When I went downstairs just now, Da Nan handed me a document and asked me to pass it to you. I have to do my job, don’t l?” Xia He said resignedly.
Qiao Mei opened the document bag. It was filled with photos and information about the Zhang family, but Qiao Mei was not interested in any of those. She spotted a group photo of the Zhang family and the Gao family. Looking at the date, the photo was taken when they first arrived at Country M. At that time, Gao Lin and Zhang Cheng were both still very young. In the blink of an eye, decades had passed and the situation between the two families was completely different now.
“Elder Sister, do you think you can go home and help me take care of the children?” Qiao Mei asked awkwardly.
“Sure, I’m also a little worried about the children. I had wanted to talk to you about this yesterday,” Xia He said.
In fact, Qiao Mei also wanted to return to the children’s side, but there were still so many things to settle in Sky City and she could not leave yet. There were still too many unknowns when it came to the Gao family.
She did not expect to have to send Xia He home early after agreeing to bring her to Sky City for a holiday. As she thought about it, she felt a little apologetic towards Xia He.
“Don’t let your imagination run wild. We have a lot of time to have fun later. The most important thing now is to protect yourself well! Don’t let me worry about you,” Xia He reminded her.
“l know. Don’t worry,” Qiao Mei said with a smile.
That night, Qiao Mei instructed Da Dong to send Xia He to the airport and to make sure that she boarded the plane safely before coming back. The next day, Qiao Mei asked Da Nan to find out the Gao family’s address and the hospital where Gao Ming was admitted.
Late at night, Qiao Mei quietly opened the window when no one was paying attention and slowly climbed down using the vines. When she reached the ground, the vines turned to ashes and dissipated with the wind.
Xia Zhe owned another house near here, but he did not fit it out after buying it. He only parked two cars there so that he could bypass the bodyguards at home when he went on missions at night. Before Xia Zhe left, he handed the two sets of car keys to Qiao Mei so that she could use them as she pleased.
Qiao Mei drove to the Zhang family’s villa on her own. The Zhang family’s villa was located on a mountain and they had even bought the entire mountain. She would make too much noise if she drove up the mountain. Therefore, she went to the back of the mountain and used the vines to transport her to the mountain top..
