Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
This was going to be a dangerous journey. It would be really inconvenient for her to look for Xia Zhe with any of the children around, especially since these three children resembled Xia Zhe too much. If they were discovered, it would only expose his identity and put her and the children in danger. It would also put his life in danger.
“l don’t want to bring the children along. These little brats will only disrupt my travel plans. 1 want to experience life without children. For the past two years, I’ve been either pregnant or busy taking care of children. It’s time for me to have time of my own,” Qiao Mei said.
“Alright then, but you have to call home every day and keep us informed every time you reach a new place! I have to know where you are all the time. If you secretly go somewhere else, I’ll complain to Eldest Brother! Let’s see what’ll happen to you then!” Xia He said sternly.
“No problem. Don’t worry, I’m not a child. I won’t get lost!” Qiao Mei said.
Qiao Mei gave some brief instructions on the matters at home and the details about the few suppliers she worked with on the farm. After everything was done, Qiao Mei set off on her journey to find her husband.
Country M was huge and abundant in resources. It would be a waste of time for her to go looking in every state. Fortunately, Country Mt s agricultural university was located in the capital of the country and it was very convenient for her to go wherever she wanted from here.
First, she took out a map and circled out a few cities which she thought Xia Zhe might be in and went to check them out one by one. After traveling to three to four cities in a row, Qiao Mei finally could sense the signal of the seed he was carrying. However, the signal that the seed sent to her was very weak and would sometimes disappear. Qiao Mei quickly checked the map to see which city was in the most northern part.
That city was the heart of criminal activities in Country M and also the most lawless place in the country, Sky City.
She did not expect Xia Zhe to have gone there and wondered how he was doing. However, rather than feeling worried, Qiao Mei was more excited to finally be able to see Xia Zhe again.
Qiao Mei had been to this city in her other life. At that time, it was a very safe place. Although there were still many fights here and there, most of these conflicts happened in the dark and people did not go about it blatantly.
The first time one heard the name of the city, one would think that Sky City was a nice place or a city filled with flowers and greenery. Qiao Mei did not expect to feel an unprecedented sense of stress and nervousness the moment she got off the plane. The air was very dusty. She could not even find a taxi at the entrance of the airport and it was rare to even spot a private car. The surrounding buildings were very dilapidated.
There were many beggars near the airport and these people were all homeless. They slept in whichever corner they could find. Apart from scavenging, they would also snatch food and drinks from one another. They would even commit murder and arson.
The moment Qiao Mei stepped out of the airport, she was the target of many people. Who would not want to take such a beautiful woman for themselves?
As she dragged her luggage and walked forward quickly, she was quickly followed by five to six burly men. They all looked very fierce and their faces were filled with greed and desire. Qiao Mei no longer tried to keep a low profile and showed her gun. In fact, she made sure that they knew she had more than one gun.
The burly men behind her immediately stopped in their tracks. Other people who were preparing to launch sneak attacks on Qiao Mei also returned to their original spots. Although these people fought often, most of them only fought with their hands or used the things around them as weapons. They did not have that much money to buy guns.
Even if some of them had guns, they would not display it so openly. Just like that, Qiao Mei successfully arrived at the hotel where she had booked a room in advance, “Sky Hotel”.
The boss of the hotel was a very prominent person in Sky City and he was feared by both the government and the underworld. There was an unwritten agreement that the moment a guest entered “Sky Hotel”, the guest could not be harmed until leaving the premises of “Sky Hotel” again.
Therefore, the room rate here was three to four times higher than other hotels. Most of the people who could afford to stay here were either the children of rich families or important members of the government.
Qiao Mei stood next to the window and looked into the distance. Xia Zhe was in this city, so the connection between her and the seed was very strong now. He was about five kilometers away from her and that was where the largest underground casino of Sky City was located..
