They reached Qiao Mei’s place in no time. Su Rui got out of the front passenger seat and looked at the house in front of her in disdain.
“Your place is really shabby. I thought Fang Chen would have prepared a big villa for you. You don’t even live as comfortably as I did,” Su Rui said disdainfully.
When she came the other day, she was so focused on the children that she did not notice the house and how it was furnished. Now that she took a closer look, it really looked quite rundown.
“Isn’t this better? Perhaps Fang Chen does not really love me,” Qiao Mei said.
“I hope so, Go and get the thing now! I’ll wait for you here,” Su Rui said warily.
Qiao Mei did not pose any threat to her, but that did not mean that those men in Qiao Mei’s house were not a threat. Su Rui noticed that Qiao Mei had two bodyguards protecting the children. If not for the bodyguards, Su Rui would have already abducted the children. It would be way more effective to threaten Qiao Mei with the children than with a photo.
However, even those bodyguards should not be too difficult for her to handle. With her skills, it was easy for her to fight two people at once. Even if these two people ganged up, they were still not her match.
Su Rui was just trying to scare Qiao Mei. After all, if she really gave those photos to the Yang family, both Fang Chen and her would be in trouble. She still wanted to live a comfortable life as a rich wife in Country M. She definitely did not want to die.
She just wanted to be with Fang Chen. Her life back home was just a mess. Although her family was well-to-do, her parents only cared about her younger brother. They gave all the good things in the family to her younger brother first. She may be the eldest daughter of the family, but in reality, she had less say than the helper at home.
Only by gaining a foothold in Country M could she live the kind of life she wanted. She cared more about herself than whether the mission could be successfully completed.
Qiao Mei walked into the house slowly, checking herself for any listening devices. This was something which Xia Zhe had taught her. Sure enough, Su Rui had placed a listening device in her bag.
“I’m going upstairs to change. You guys stay with the children first.” Qiao Mei did not move after saying that. Instead, she gestured to Luo Yu and Luo Hui.
Luo Yu immediately understood what Qiao Mei meant. He and Luo Hui went out through the back door and quietly closed in on Su Ruiz They would wait until Qiao Mei came back to talk to Su Rui before subduing her.
Qiao Mei went upstairs and kept rummaging through her things so that she could buy more time for the two men. Su Rui waited impatiently at the main door for Qiao Mei. As she listened in using the listening device, she knew that Qiao Mei was still going through her things. After a very long time, Qiao Mei finally took out a piece of paper. She casually wrote a few words on it and stuffed it into an envelope. Before she did that, she even affixed the stamp of the farm on it.
“Why did you take so long?” Su Rui complained when she saw Ojao Mei.
“There are too many things at home and it’s hard to go through them. I hope I didn’t make you wait too long,” Qiao Mei said.
Su Rui grabbed the envelope. The glue on the envelope looked suspicious to her. She touched the glue out of curiosity and asked, “I hope you’re not trying to bluff me. This is obviously glued together just now.”
“The thing inside is real and it has the stamp of the community center,” Qiao Mei said.
Su Rui felt the envelope to see how thick it was and smiled disdainfully. The envelopes used in Country M were relatively flimsy. So long as one held it against the light or the sun, the contents would be exposed. She held up the envelope and looked at it against the sun. There was indeed a stamp and some words on it, and she could vaguely make out Fang Chen’s name.
She handed Qiao Mei a check of 100,000 dollars that Xia Zhe had previously given her and said, “This is the money for you. I’ll send you another 100,000 dollars after I get married.”
Qiao Mei took the check but did not say anything. Luo Yu and Luo Hui ran out from both sides and Su Rui immediately realized that there was something wrong. She knew she could not escape, so she raised the gun which she was holding behind her, pointed it at Qiao Mei and shouted, “If you take another step forward! I’ll kill her!”
Xia He had already set up the sniper rifle in the attic. She put a silencer on the sniper rifle to prevent the loud noise from alerting the neighbors.
“Haven’t you realized that you have no strength to do anything now?” Qiao Mei asked with a smile.
Su Rui’s fingertips started to feel numb and the sensation gradually affected her entire body. She looked at Qiao Mei in shock. During this whole time, she had been standing at the door and did not feel that there was anything wrong. She did not know what was happening to her.
The glue which Qiao Mei used on the envelope was not the normal kind which could be bought from the supermarkets. It was Qiao Mei’s latest invention..
