Qiao Mei had only come here to buy back the necklace and she did not expect

Brother Lei to want to become sworn siblings with her. Yao Nian had told Qiao Mei whatever he knew about this underground gambling den. Many years ago, Yao Nian had tried to dig up more information about Brother Lei and found out that he was very likely to be backed by an important member of the government. Furthermore, no one had ever seen what Brother Lei really looked like. He must have other identities.

This gambling den enjoyed the highest status and had lasted the longest in the capital, so there must definitely be more than one group of people behind it. Militarymen in this country had to have their past three generations investigated before they could join the military, so there was definitely no one with a criminal background inside. This was the real reason why Brother Lei wanted to get to know Qiao Mei and befriend her.

“Thank you for thinking so highly of me, Brother Lei, but I really don’t have the fortune to accept your kindness,” Qiao Mei said seriously.

Brother Lei pursed his lips resignedly. The two bottles which Qiao Mei had placed on the table were truly his “saviors”. Human desires were insatiable. Once one was able to satisfy one desire, the next desire would be born. He was no exception. If there was really a day when he was on the verge of death, these things could come in really handy.

“Alright then, you have to leave behind everything you gain from here today. You can only take this necklace with you,” Brother Lei said impatiently.

“Brother Lei, thank you for letting me off.” Before Qiao Mei left, she took a long look at the bottles of medicinal wine on the table. She was blindfolded and led out through the back door of the gambling den. The bodyguards brought her to an open area and left her there.

Qiao Mei got out of the car nervously and went into the house. Xu Kang had already prepared hot water and food for her. Qiao Mei did not have her dinner because of this matter! She was already starving by now.

Xia Wen came in and sat opposite Qiao Mei. “Tell me, Heroine Qiao, what have you done?”

Qiao Mei put down her bowl and chopsticks and said, “Um... Eldest Brother, you already know everything?”

“Yao Nian was really worried that something would really happen to you. He told me about it after you entered the gambling den. You’re really capable enough to be able to find the entrance. I can’t even spot their main door!” Xia Wen said angrily.

“You flatter me... I just happened to find my way in...” Qiao Mei whispered.

“If I hadn’t bumped into you! Would you have walked back on foot? Don’t you know that you’re pregnant! You’re really getting too capable! If Xia Zhe finds out about this, he’ll definitely skin you alive! So that you learn your lesson well!” Xia Wen said furiously.

Qiao Mei muttered softly, “He won’t dare to do it...”

“Huh? What did you say?” Xia Wen stared at Qiao Mei and questioned her.

“l said that you’re right! I’ve learned my lesson! This will never happen again! In the future, I’ll report everything I do to the family! I definitely won’t let anyone worry about me!” Qiao Mei raised three fingers and made an oath..
