If she was asked about the source of the medicinal wine, Qiao Qiang would have to continue to play the role of being a “descendant of a gifted doctor” and being in possession of a “secret prescription handed down from his ancestors”.
The news of Zhang Chengs disappearance had spread throughout the city. Even Bella had sent a note to Qiao Mei, telling her to be careful. Bella was concerned that major changes were coming up in Sky City.
Bella even sent two beautiful women to Qiao Mei’s house to protect her. Both women wore silver badges and were counted among the most highly skilled assassins in Bella’s teams.
“Stop there! Who are you?” Da Dong asked as he looked coldly at the two women in front of him.
Yin Xing did not say anything and just showed Da Dong the silver badge on her shoulder. Da Dong immediately knew that this was one of Bella’s team members, but without Qiao Mei e s permission, no one was allowed to enter the villa. This was the rule!
“You didn’t make an appointment in advance and the lady of the house didn’t tell us that there would be guests today. Please wait here. I’m going in to check with her,” Da Dong said sternly.
“Wait? For how long?” Yin Xing asked impatiently.
“But shouldn’t you be taking orders from me now?” Qiao Mei asked.
Yin Xing and Yin Yue looked at each other and said, “Yes, you are our boss now. We will listen to you.”
“So my order is for you to do your own things when you’re here. You can just tell the helper if there’s something you feel like eating, just like Da Dong and the rest. However, if you want her to cook particular dishes for you, you have to pay her for the extra work. I’ll cover the cost of the ingredients,” Qiao Mei said.
In the past, Da Dong and the rest had very simple meals. They ate whatever the helper cooked and it was usually the leftover dishes from Xia Zhe’s meals. They did not get any choice at all.
Xia Zhe was very seldom at home. He spent a lot of time in the office or on business trips to various cities in Country M. Out of the four bodyguards, two of them would accompany Xia Zhe at any one time, while the other two would be on standby at home.
It was inevitable that Xia Zhe did not pay any attention to such details. It was only after Qiao Mei moved in that the four bodyguards had better meals. Moreover, they had a pay increase, so they could afford to pay the helper to make all kinds of delicious food for them.
“Wow, I never expected that Miss Pu Nan would provide us with such a nice working environment! We used to only eat hardtack when we went on missions!” Yin Yue said aggrievedly.
“Hardtack? Why do you eat such things? Don’t the other clients prepare food for you?” Qiao Mei asked curiously.
“They are not as nice as you, Miss Pu Nan. We’re the Silver Spiders. People who can afford to hire Silver Spiders are either the ultra-rich or those important government officials. Their lives are in danger all the time. Even when they are sleeping, Yin Xing and I have to stand guard next to them. How do we have time to eat proper meals?” Yin Yue said..
