Chapter 486: Faint From Anger

Even Ma San, who was standing at the side, was stunned. He had never seen He Ning so angry with He Mei before. It was quite an eye-opener for him today.

However, this was even better. If he could not chastise He Mei, there was naturally someone else who could.

“Little Uncle… That Xia Zhe really won’t fall for it. I have no choice but to come up with this last resort…” He Mei said pitifully.

“Was it a last resort? I think you did it on purpose! You must have wanted to get rid of Qiao Mei for a long time! Didn’t you meet her sometime back? Don’t tell me you already planned to attack her since that time? He Mei, you’re really my eldest brother’s good daughter! One secretly does business behind my back and the other secretly kills people behind my back! All of you are really getting more and more capable!” He Ning roared.

He Mei cried out in a panic, “No, Little Uncle! I didn’t think that way! Besides… Besides, we didn’t do this! It was Qian’e! She did it! As long as we push everything to her, the He family won’t be implicated!”

He Ning was so angry that his chest felt stuffy and he could not even breathe properly. He collapsed weakly on the sofa and called out to Huo Gao.

“Someone… Huo Gao! Cough, cough, cough…” He Ning said in agony.

“Little Uncle! Little Uncle, what’s wrong! Uncle Huo! Help!” He Mei hurriedly went forward and grabbed He Ning’s hand. She did not know what was wrong with He Ning. She had never imagined that things would turn out like this.

When Huo Gao heard the cry for help, he quickly ran over and chopped the ginseng root into powder to mix it into a drink for He Ning. He then placed a small pillow on the sofa for He Ning to lie down and perform acupuncture on him.

He Ning quickly fell asleep. During this period of time, he had not eaten or slept well and had exhausted too much energy. His body could not take it anymore.

After he heard the grievous news about Qiao Mei, coupled with the fact that He Mei was the one who did it, he fainted from anger.

Huo Gao sighed and said, “He’s fine now, but don’t make him angry anymore. He can’t have too many emotional fluctuations for now. He hasn’t taken any medicine or rested well for the past few days and his body’s essence and vitality are running on empty.”

He Mei asked in a panic, “Then what should I do now? Will Little Uncle be fine? Uncle Huo, you have to save him. Our He family can’t survive without him.”

At the thought of this, He Mei sat on the ground and started crying. For now, there was nothing she knew how to do except cry.

Ma San stood at the side and looked at them with a disdainful smile. He Ning did not have much time left, so the He family might as well give him all their assets. If they did that, at least they would not fall from grace without anything left.

He had to think of a way to make He Mei his. Then when the time came, the Shen, He and Ma families would all have to listen to him!

What was He Mei so high and mighty about? She was just a whore who pretended to be chaste! When the time came, he would make He Mei obey him! He would like to see if she still dared to be arrogant!

By now, Huo Gao could understand why He Ning had such a personality. It was a miracle that he could hold on for so long given that the entire family had always been scheming against him and using him. If it had been anyone else, that person would have left the family long ago.

“Both of you, come out with me and let him have a good rest. Tell me if Qiao Mei is dead or sick,” Huo Gao asked as he walked out with them.

Huo Gao was usually the one who handled the He family matters when He Ning was resting. During such moments, his words were equivalent to He Ning’s instructions.

“She has probably lost the baby but she’s definitely not dead. The spies are still out there, so we don’t know what exactly is going on now,” He Mei whispered.

“Then who else knows about this?” Huo Gao asked He Mei sternly.

“It’s just Ma San and me. No one else knows about it. The spies are all people who have been with us a long time, so they should be fine,” He Mei said.

“Then… what about Qian’e? Just now, you said that this person did it. Then where is she?” Huo Gao asked.

He could vaguely hear what was being said in the living room when he was in the pharmacy just now, but he was just not sure if this Qian’e was on their side.

“She… she didn’t get arrested. At that time, no one on the shore saw Qian’e pushing Qiao Mei. She’s probably at home now,” He Mei said hesitantly.

“Quickly get Qian’e under your control now. Call her and ask her to come to the house. Don’t worry about anything else,” Huo Gao said.

He Mei quickly nodded and went to do what Huo Gao had instructed her.

She was also filled with regret by now. She did not expect that not only did she not manage to kill Qiao Mei, but she also almost caused her little uncle to die from anger. However, why did He Ning care so much about Qiao Mei? Could it be that there was something else going on with Qiao Mei?

He Mei suddenly had a bold thought. Could it be that He Ning had taken a fancy to Qiao Mei’s beauty!
