Chapter 1987 I Will Treat Her Well
"Can he do it?" Gao Lin asked doubtfully.
"Yes. Trust me," Qiao Mei replied firmly.
Actually, she did not know if Xia Zhe would be able to find out the truth about everything that happened back then. However, since Xia Zhe had asked her to leave this matter to him, then it meant that he would definitely handle it well.
Not long after, Xia Zhe walked out of the basement with a stack of paper in his hand which contained Zhang Cheng's confession. Zhang Chang had confessed to how he had framed the Gao family all these years, killed Gao family members and about all the different illegal stuff he did in his business. Each and every page had Zhang Cheng's signature on it.
Gao Lin took the confession and read it for a long time. Tears streamed down his face as he held onto it with trembling hands. Every word was like a knife stabbing into his heart. Every page referenced the life of a Gao family member!
He rushed into the basement as if he had gone crazy, dropping the entire stack of paper on the floor. Xia Zhe picked up the pages slowly. Neither of them stopped Gao Lin. In his frame of mind just now, it was useless even if they tried to stop him.
"Given his current state, do you think Zhang Cheng will die?" Qiao Mei asked.
Xia Zhe waved the key in his hand and said, "I've already locked the door. He won't be able to hurt Zhang Cheng since Zhang Cheng is locked up in the cage. Don't worry, we have to let him vent his anger in some way."
Gao Lin looked into Fang Chen's eyes to see if there was any indication that Fang Chen was lying. After staring closely for a long time, he realized that Fang Chen seemed to be telling the truth. He sighed helplessly. The family's children and grandchildren had their own lives to live. At this point, he could not stop the couple from wanting to be together.
"Young man, I hope you will remain responsible for what you just said. If you let her down, I'll settle the score with you even if I have to sacrifice these old bones of mine," Gao Lin said.
"It's a deal," Xia Zhe said to Gao Lin with a smile.
The next morning, Qiao Mei woke up very early and waited downstairs. She had been feeling flustered since Xia Zhe and Gao Lin went into their shared room yesterday. She did not know if Xia Zhe would be interrogated and what would happen if his real identity was exposed!
As soon as Xia Zhe came out, Qiao Mei pulled him to a corner and asked, "What did my granduncle say to you yesterday?"
"Nothing much. He just told me that if I don't treat you well, he will kill me," Xia Zhe said casually.
"I hope you didn't expose your identity!" Qiao Mei asked nervously.
"Don't worry, he doesn't suspect anything." Xia Zhe lifted Qiao Mei's chin and asked, "Little girl, are you worried about me or worried that our relationship will be exposed? Your granduncle said that he wanted to kill me!"
"Hmph! In that case, you just need to be nicer to me and my granduncle will spare your life!" Qiao Mei said smugly.
