Chapter 1004 - 1004 Difficult to Make a Comeback
1004 Difficult to Make a Comeback
She was the only one in the family who was all brawn and no brains. It was no wonder that when she was young, Xia Xiu always said that she was like a single-celled organism and was not suitable to enter the services of the army or the government.
Anyone who was trained by Xia Xiu would end up holding an important position in the army. Only Xia He went to the military art troupe halfway through the training. Everyone agreed that Xia He did not belong in the army and should just live a simple life.
By the time it was afternoon, Qiao Mei had settled down on the rocking chair and was falling asleep. In recent days, she found herself feeling sleepy all the time. She could fall asleep anywhere that was warm. She would not even feel anything even if someone came to carry her out to be sold off.
Xia He went into the room and took out a blanket to put over Qiao Mei. It was so warm in the house that it was not a problem for them to wear summer clothes. Qiao Mei would not catch a cold.
“Huh? Did I fall asleep again?” Qiao Mei asked groggily.!!
“Yes you did. Aunt says that this is quite normal and there’s nothing wrong with the babies and you. Why don’t I call the hospital now and get them to send someone to come and take and look at you. Don’t tire yourself out just because you’re having children,” Xia He said worriedly.
Qiao Mei slowly sat up and said, “It’s fine. I’ve just been more tired recently. I will sleep more and get my strength back. It’s not a big deal. Have you settled the matters of those people who called? When are they coming?”
Xia He stood nervously beside Qiao Mei and grabbed the corners of her own shirt tightly with both hands as she said, “Um… I’m going to tell you something, but don’t be angry! When I returned Xia Wen’s call just now, he found out about what’s going on and he said that he would come to our place after work.
It was totally within Qiao Mei’s expectations that Xia Wen would know about this matter. She just did not want Xia Wen to worry. However, as the eldest brother, it was inevitable that he would have to go through the tiring process of taking care of his younger siblings.
“What about the other stuff?” Qiao Mei asked.
“There’s nothing else. Luo Yu will be here soon. He has the result from Su Liang’s interrogation session,” Xia He said.
As soon as she finished speaking, Luo Yu arrived at the door with a document in his hand. It was filled with information about Su Liang’s replies and the details of the interrogation session. Qiao Mei had to sign off on the document so that the team could go back and submit their report.
“Young Madam, please take a look,” Luo Yu said solemnly.
Qiao Mei was slightly stunned on the spot. She had only heard this form of address in television dramas which she watched in her other life. She did not expect to become a young madam one day!
It actually felt quite good, but she still felt a little embarrassed to hear others say it out.
Qiao Mei quickly took the document and said, “You can call me Qiao Mei from now on. We’re all friends, so there’s no need to be so polite. Did any of our people get injured last night?”
“It’s more than enough for one person from the guard team to handle a piece of trash like Su Liang! He’s not able to hurt any of us at all,” Luo Yu said proudly.
Su Liang’s recorded statement was completely different from what Qiao Yu had said. Other than the timing being the same, the rest of the details were completely two different versions. However, Qiao Mei believed that Su Liang’s statement was the truth. Luo Yu and his colleagues were professionals, so Su Liang would tell the truth even if it was only for the sake of saving his own life.
After Xia He finished reading it, she flew into a rage. She stood up and wanted to go to Li Gui’s house to confront Qiao Yu. Were they so easy to fool! Did she take them for fools!
“Enough! Why are you so agitated? Let Qiao Yu stay there and suffer for a couple of days first. There’s no issue as long as she doesn’t die. As for Su Liang, I’d have to ask for Brother Luo’s help to send him to the police station and report the case based on what Qiao Yu said,” Qiao Mei said with a smile.
Qiao Mei folded the blanket and put it away. “Stay and have dinner with us tonight. There’s no need to go back right now.”
“We still have other missions to complete, so we won’t trouble you.” After saying that, Luo Yu drove back to deal with Qiao Mei’s arrangements.
All this while, he never managed to get a chance to deal with Su Liang. He finally had a chance to vent his anger now. Although Su Yang was also in the wrong, his crime was not that serious and he might still be of great use in the future. Moreover, Su Yang was a greedy and gullible person, so it was also easier to control him. He was not as ruthless as Su Liang.
Given that Su Liang already had a previous criminal record, once they sent him into prison again, it would probably be very difficult for him to be released.
