Chapter 1616 Even Dying Eight Times Is Not Enough

"You definitely can't go! This is a trap! If they kidnap you too, then our backbone will be gone! We still need you to make the decisions on many things! If they use you to threaten us and the Xia family, then we will really have to hand everything over to them. They are deliberately luring you there!" Qian'e said.

Qiao Mei understood this logic too, but she was worried about Li Gui. Now that Li Gui was in their hands, every minute that passed meant that she was in more danger. Time was of the essence.

However, Qiao Mei must also be responsible for her baby, for Qiao Qiang and for the Xia family. She could not risk the lives of so many people just to save Li Gui. What she had to do now was to calm down and think of a countermeasure.

"Yes... I can't be rash... I have to think about it carefully..." Qiao Mei said as she slowly sat on the sofa.

"I'll call Xia Mao now and ask him to send someone to the Zhao Family Village and punish those people on the spot! They actually kidnapped and robbed people in broad daylight! Is this still a lawful society!" Xu Lan said furiously.

Qiao Mei immediately stopped Xu Lan and said, "No, don't. They only dare to rob us because they know that we won't dare to call the police. Someone behind the scenes must have given them this idea. These villagers are not people who are exposed to the outside world and they would never have been able to come up with this."

Zou Ming was their friend. During this period of time, Zou Ming wore civilian clothes whenever he went down to the factory. He was not helping Qiao Mei and the Xia family in the capacity of a police officer.

Everyone felt that what Qiao Mei said made sense, but who was the person who came up with this plan for the villagers? Qiao Mei was unable to tell who it could be.

"Elder Sister, why are you here to look for me?" Zhao Fei said uneasily as he wiped the sweat off his face.

"I'm here to ask you for a favor, a very troublesome one," Qiao Mei said sternly.

"Tell me. As long as it's something I can do, I'll help you," Zhao Fei said immediately.

Qiao Mei brought him to a restaurant next to the construction site for a meal and ordered three dishes. After Zhao Fei finished eating, Qiao Mei slowly said, "The people from the Zhao Family Village had teamed up to kidnap my mother and my husband's buddies. They're all currently being locked up in the village. I'm here to ask you to help me by going back there secretly to see how my mother is and if she's still alive."

The chopsticks in Zhao Fei's hand fell to the floor. He was stunned to the spot and did not know what to say. He did not expect the people from the Zhao Family Village to be so crazy as to do such an outrageous thing.

"No way... Are all of them involved?" Zhao Fei asked in disbelief.

"Yes, all of them." Seeing that Zhao Fei did not respond for a long time, Qiao Mei continued, "If you think it's too difficult for you, then forget it. I'm just here to try my luck."

"I'm willing! I'm willing to go back and take a look! If possible, I'll save Auntie too," Zhao Fei said firmly.
