1627 Cannot Wait Any Longer
“We’ll know it once we give it a try! My father’s head was injured by Li Gui! We need 10,000 dollars! Get someone to bring the money over!” Zhao Kai said.
“If you don’t believe me! You can come to my house and take a look!” Zhao Kai said.
“Only a fool will go to your house…” Xia He rolled her eyes and said disdainfully.
“If you don’t give us the money! We’ll fight you here until the end!” Zhao Kai said angrily.
The sky gradually darkened. There was still no news of Li Gui at the moment. Furthermore, Xia He, Qian’e 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, “You haven’t eaten much for the entire day. Drink some silver fungus soup to nourish your body. If this continues, your body won’t be able to take it.”
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.
“Eldest Brother, how is it?” Qiao Mei asked anxiously.
“I have asked around. No one knows anything about Auntie, but Mo Zhu’s family has a private investigator and they’ve already sent him out to check. However, he can only come back tomorrow at noon at the earliest,” Xia Wen said.
“No… we can’t wait that long… Eldest Brother, drive me to the Zhao Family Village immediately! We’ll meet up with Xia He and the others there!” Qiao Mei said as she grabbed Xia Wen’s 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 mother’s whereabouts.
“Mother, I have to go and look for my mother. I know my own health. Besides, Eldest Brother will be with me. I’ll be fine!” Qiao Mei said seriously.
“Go ahead then. Your second aunt-in-law and I will take care of the children at home. You must take care of yourself and don’t tire yourself out!” 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 Mei’s hands. “This is the life-saving medicine you gave us back then. Take it. If you encounter any danger, just drink it!”
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, “Mother, don’t worry. I’ll come back safely.”
Xia Wen and Qiao Mei drove to the Zhao Family Village. At this moment, Xia He, Qian’e 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 villagers’ physical fitness was definitely not as good as theirs.
“Qiao Mei? Why are you here?” Qian’e said as she looked at Qiao Mei in shock.
Qiao Mei hurriedly came over Xia He and Qian’e and asked, “Are the two of you alright? It’s already so late but you aren’t back yet, so Eldest Brother and I are here to look for you.”
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!
“You’re finally here! Give us the money!” Zhao Kai said as he pointed at Qiao Mei.
“Sister-in-law, we’ve secretly done a house-to-house check. Auntie is indeed not in the village anymore, but we don’t know where she has gone. These people won’t say anything no matter what,” Chi Ze came to Qiao Mei’s side and whispered.
Qiao Mei patted Chi Ze’s 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.
