Luo Yu and Luo Hui were currently squatting at the corner next to the stairs. The moment Auntie Zhang showed her face, the two of them would immediately be able to grab her. After about 10 minutes, there was a loud scream downstairs.
The two of them had caught her.
Xia He stuck the gun into her boot and grab coats for herself and Qiao Mei before slowly walking down from the second floor. Auntie Zhangs scream had also attracted the attention of Auntie Wang and Auntie Cui. After checking that the children were not woken by the noise, they also went downstairs.
“Auntie Zhang, where are you going? It’s already so late and yet you’re still going out with so much stuff,” Xia He said as she sat on the sofa.
“I…I just want to go home to take a look. My child suddenly fell sick and my husband wants me to go home to take care of the child!” Auntie Zhang said in a panic.
“Child? You have a child? Don’t you only have a husband in Country M who’s an alcoholic? Two days ago, you told me that he hit you and you even borrowed 50 dollars from me!” Auntie Wang said agitatedly.
“I have a child! A child whom my husband adopted! I’m going back to see what kind of child he adopted!” Auntie Zhang explained.
“The only landline in our house is in the study. When did you find the time to answer the phone there? Besides, how does your husband know that phone number?” Qiao Mei asked.
Qiao Mei and Xia He had already planned to install a new landline downstairs so that it would be easier for Auntie Wang and the other women to contact their families and for the shops to make arrangements for delivery. During this period of time, the phone company’s installers were too busy and there was still a long time to go before their appointment date.
“About this…” Auntie Zhang was unable to answer the question.
Qiao Mei did not want to waste time listening to all these lies. She just wanted to resolve this matter as soon as possible and then go back to sleep.
“Take out all your own things from the bag. Other than those, you can’t take anything else with you. I’ll deduct 50 dollars from your salary this month and give it to Auntie Wang as repayment for the loan. You’ll still get 150 dollars. I’ll give it to you after you’re done packing,” Qiao Mei said calmly.
“I’m really going home to see my child! Everything in this bag is mine! You can’t take my things!” Auntie Zhang said stubbornly.
“Are you sure all the things belong to you? If you don’t tell the truth, I can consider calling the police and let them question you,” Xia He said sternly.
Qiao Mei waved at Luo Yu and he immediately understood what she wanted. He pulled out a gun and handed it to her. She played with the gun for a while before pointing it at Auntie Zhang.
“In this country, this thing in my hand calls the shots. I hear that many people go missing every year. There are also many nameless corpses fished out of the river every year. Make a guess if you’ll be the next one to be fished up?” Qiao Mei asked with a smile.
“I…I.. I don’t know…” Auntie Zhang fell to the ground in fear, but she still hugged the bag tightly, as if it contained something that was more important than her life.
“Alright, since you don’t want to tell me, I won’t ask anymore.” Qiao Mei looked at Luo Yu and said, “Search her bag.”
Luo Hui went forward and grabbed Auntie Zhang. Luo Yu took out everything from the bag and lined them up on the floor. Not only were there Qiao Mei’s jewelry, but there were also items belonging to Auntie Wang and Auntie Cui. Most importantly, there was an admission letter to Country Mt s agricultural university inside the bag.
Country M was relatively lax about such administrative matters. Even though the letter contained the student’s name, if it was erased neatly and replaced with another name, the agricultural university would not question the amendment. They would not care even if the letter was doctored.
If Qiao Mei found out a few days later that the admission letter was lost, it would be too late for her to call home and ask for a resubmission of the application. She would be sent back home.
Auntie Zhang wanted to take Qiao Mei’s university admission letter and change the name on it to her son’s name so that her son could enter the university.
“You’re really good at stealing. This is the most valuable thing in this house,” Qiao Mei said in surprise.
“I have no choice. If I don’t do this, my son won’t have a future! I already owe him too much. I have to get him an admission letter to university! Just take pity on me! Anyway, you’ll continue to live a worry-free life after you return to the capital. You’ll still have your degree from Capital University! But my son doesn’t! Can you help my son?” Auntie Zhang begged agitatedly..
