1627 Cannot Wait Any Longer
āWeāll know it once we give it a try! My fatherās head was injured by Li Gui! We need 10,000 dollars! Get someone to bring the money over!ā Zhao Kai said.
āWho knows if what you say is true!ā Qianāe shouted indignantly. She did not believe that Li Gui would hurt others for no reason.
āIf you donāt believe me! You can come to my house and take a look!ā Zhao Kai said.
āOnly a fool will go to your houseā¦ā Xia He rolled her eyes and said disdainfully.
āIf you donāt give us the money! Weāll fight you here until the end!ā Zhao Kai said angrily.
The sky gradually darkened. There was still no news of Li Gui at the moment. Furthermore, Xia He, Qianāe and the others had not returned yet. Qiao Mei could not sit still at home. She wished she could run out and look for Li Gui.
Xu Lan brought a bowl of silver fungus soup to Qiao Mei and said, āYou havenāt eaten much for the entire day. Drink some silver fungus soup to nourish your body. If this continues, your body wonāt be able to take it.ā
Qiao Mei drank the silver fungus soup obediently. Xia Wen returned in a hurry, his shirt drenched and looking very disheveled. Qiao Mei had never seen Xia Wen like this before. In her memories, Xia Wen was always a person who was able to handle issues with ease.
āEldest Brother, how is it?ā Qiao Mei asked anxiously.
āI have asked around. No one knows anything about Auntie, but Mo Zhuās family has a private investigator and theyāve already sent him out to check. However, he can only come back tomorrow at noon at the earliest,ā Xia Wen said.
āNo⦠we canāt wait that long⦠Eldest Brother, drive me to the Zhao Family Village immediately! Weāll meet up with Xia He and the others there!ā Qiao Mei said as she grabbed Xia Wenās arm.
At this point, Xu Lan already did not know how to dissuade Qiao Mei. She understood how Qiao Mei was feeling very well. If it was her own mother who got into an accident, she would also do everything in her power to find her motherās whereabouts.
āMother, I have to go and look for my mother. I know my own health. Besides, Eldest Brother will be with me. Iāll be fine!ā Qiao Mei said seriously.
āGo ahead then. Your second aunt-in-law and I will take care of the children at home. You must take care of yourself and donāt tire yourself out!ā After saying that, Xu Lan seemed to have thought of something and immediately ran to the study upstairs.
After a while, she ran down with something in her hand and stuffed it into Qiao Meiās hands. āThis is the life-saving medicine you gave us back then. Take it. If you encounter any danger, just drink it!ā
Qiao Mei looked at the small bottle of golden ginseng juice in her hand and smiled. Then, she looked at Xu Lan and said firmly, āMother, donāt worry. Iāll come back safely.ā
Xia Wen and Qiao Mei drove to the Zhao Family Village. At this moment, Xia He, Qianāe and the others were still dealing with the villagers at the village entrance. However, they were no longer arguing but everyone had sat down to rest
They could not use violence against the villagers, nor could they forcefully rush out in case they hurt the villagers. They could only stay where they were and wait to see who backed down first. Everyone among them was well-trained and it was not a problem for them to last for 48 hours. The villagersā physical fitness was definitely not as good as theirs.
āQiao Mei? Why are you here?ā Qianāe said as she looked at Qiao Mei in shock.
Qiao Mei hurriedly came over Xia He and Qianāe and asked, āAre the two of you alright? Itās already so late but you arenāt back yet, so Eldest Brother and I are here to look for you.ā
Although Zhao Kai and the others had seen Qiao Mei a few times before, they had only caught a brief glimpse and did not have a close look. Now that they saw Qiao Mei, everyone was stunned. They did not expect Qiao Mei to be such a beautiful girl!
They had heard from Zhao Fei that Qiao Mei had a very bad temper. That did not seem true. Could it be that Zhao Fei had gotten the wrong person and meant that it was Qianāe who had a bad temper?
āYouāre finally here! Give us the money!ā Zhao Kai said as he pointed at Qiao Mei.
āGive her to me and Iāll give you money,ā Qiao Mei said calmly.
āSister-in-law, weāve secretly done a house-to-house check. Auntie is indeed not in the village anymore, but we donāt know where she has gone. These people wonāt say anything no matter what,ā Chi Ze came to Qiao Meiās side and whispered.
Qiao Mei patted Chi Zeās shoulder to indicate that she understood. The most important thing for her now was to find an opportunity to communicate with the plants in the village and see where Li Gui had gone.
