Chapter 2077: So It Is You

Translator: Atlas Studios  Editor: Atlas Studios

He Ning did not want to be on the opposing side of Qiao Mei again. Besides, the Huang family was one of the sacrifices he had already intended to make in his game of tug-of-war with Qiao Mei, so there was no need to save them.

In Lian City, the Huang family’s reputation had suffered a great blow. They could no longer afford to send the second and third sons to school. In addition, their relatives came to block their main door every day to stop them from leaving the house.

Huang Quan had no other choice. The Huang family’s relatives had given them an ultimatum. If they did not pay back all the money by the end of this month, their relatives would go to the police station to demand that Huang Quan be arrested for fraud. The sum of money involved was so huge that Huang Quan might even get the death penalty if found guilty!

Tan Jing was the one who came up with the idea for him to kidnap Qiao Mei! This plan would allow him to get both Qiao Mei and the money at the same time, killing two birds with one stone! Tan Jing had at least proven her worth to him at the end.

Qiao Mei did not panic but felt very much at ease instead. This was because she could sense that Xia Zhe was nearby, probably about 60 kilometers away. He was already on his way to her.

Xia Zhe remembered what Qiao Mei said to him and had kept the seed well hidden on his body. Qiao Mei could not sense the seed if it was very far away from her. Even if they were both in the same country, so long as Qiao Mei did not search for the seed, it would not take the initiative to send a signal to her.

However, when the distance between them fell below 200 kilometers, the seed would start to search for its owner and Qiao Mei would be able to automatically detect its location.

The moment Xia Zhe got off the plane, he started searching for Qiao Mei. As he drove around the city, he saw the damaged van. He could tell that the van had been in an accident and he did not dare to go forward and look inside. He was afraid that he would see blood and be informed that Qiao Mei had died.

The police at the scene told him that they had already done an investigation and there were no bloodstains in the van or any signs of a fight. Qiao Mei was still safe for the time being. The staff in the nearby shops remembered the incident of Qiao Mei wanting to buy coffee and related the story to the police.

Xia Zhe got into his car and continued to chase after the kidnappers. When he reached the area with the fields, he found the markings Qiao Mei left along the way. He knew that she was still safe and sound when she was in this area, since she was even in the leisurely mood to draw small flowers for him.

This was a secret code between Qiao Mei and Xia Zhe. If Qiao Mei was not caught in a dangerous situation, she would draw a small flower to tell Xia Zhe not to worry.

“Stop dilly-dallying and give me the money. You must have gone to Shen City this time to get all the money. The money is definitely not in the bank yet,” Huang Quan said.

“It’s true that the money is not in the bank, but I’ve already invested all the money in the factory there. Didn’t you hear that I spent 10 million dollars to buy a plot of land?” Qiao Mei asked with a laugh.

“B*tch! You use my money to buy land! Do you still have a conscience!” Huang Quan said agitatedly.

“That’s originally my money. Don’t forget how you get all those machines. But if you want to get your base capital back, I can consider giving it to you,” Qiao Mei said.

“I don’t care how you do it! Give me two million first! I can give you one more day to prepare the remaining three million!” Huang Quan said anxiously.

The deadline which the Huang family’s relatives had given him was coming up. He must come up with some money to appease them so that they would give him more time to raise the funds.

“Fine, you can ask your subordinates to go and get it,” Qiao Mei said.

“You don’t have to worry about how we want to pick up the money. Get your people to prepare the money first. I have the final say on how the deal is set up later,” Huang Quan said cautiously.

Brother Bin and the other two men were the Huang family’s trusted aides. When these three people were involved in something, it would mean that the Huang family was definitely involved as well. If the Xia family found out about this, the entire Huang family would be finished.

This was also why he needed to hire another group of men to kidnap Qiao Mei. It was just that he did not expect the scar-faced man to be so lousy and wasted so much time on the way.

Qiao Mei shrugged nonchalantly and said, “Alright, whatever you say, but I’m hungry now. Get me something to eat. I don’t think you want me to starve to death before the money arrives.”

“Where can I get food for you in the wilderness?” Huang Quan said.

“I can cook,” Qiao Mei said.

Huang Quan looked at Qiao Mei in surprise and said, “Really? I’m surprised you’d offer to cook. Are you able to make whatever I want to eat?”

“Of course not.” As soon as Qiao Mei said that, Huang Quan looked very embarrassed. She then continued, “There can’t be many ingredients here, so we have to make do with whatever we have.”
