“Cousin Wan Wan, with this information, we can go ahead and deal with Chen Huang. However, you have to talk to your child first. After all she’s also a victim of these circumstances. You need to find out what she wants. She’s an adult now and can brave the storms with you,” Qiao Mei said.

“Thank you, Mei Mei. Thank you so much,” Xia Wan said, feeling touched.

After Xia Wan and Qiao Mei discussed the plans for the future, Xia Wan went back with the intention to start the divorce proceedings. Qiao Mei looked at Xia Zhe, who was playing with the children in the courtyard, and fell into deep thought. She did not know when he needed to return to Country M to continue with his work there. There were still many things waiting for him to settle over there.

“Why do you look so troubled? What happened?” Xia Zhe came to Qiao Mei’s side and asked tenderly.

“Have you bought your plane ticket? When are you going back?” Qiao Mei asked.

“Next Saturday. I originally planned to put in my application to return home and work here, but the higher-ups want me to stay there for a while longer and nurture a few more talents for the country. I’m sorry that I can’t accompany you for a longer period of time,” Xia Zhe said, looking troubled.

Qiao Mei did not have much of a reaction when she heard about Xia Zhe’s impending departure. After all, ever since she married Xia Zhe, there was only a very limited amount of time that he could spend with her and she was already used to it.

“All of you, come here.” Qiao Mei waved at the children.

Xia Fan pulled Xia Xing and Xia Yue and went over to Qiao Mei obediently. The three children were still sobbing and their faces were covered in snot and tears.

Qiao Mei took a handkerchief and wiped the children’s faces as she said gently, “Have you forgotten what Mama said? Papa is a big hero and his work is to punish all the bad guys. There are so many bad guys in the world. If Papa doesn’t go and catch them, many children will get hurt. Do you want these children to be separated from their parents?”

Xia Fan quickly shook his head and said, “No! I don’t want other children to be abducted like what happened to me.”

Xia Zhe and Xu Lan looked at Xia Fan in surprise. It had been so many years since Xia Fan was abducted. At that time, Xia Fan was only a little more than eight months old, so how could he remember anything? Qiao Mei had never told Xia Fan and the other children anything about these things which happened when they were babies. Could it be that someone else had told the children about what happened then?

Qiao Mei was not surprised at all. She even suspected that these three children possessed even earlier memories.

“Yes, that’s right. It’s not as if Papa won’t come back. He’s just going out to work and will come back to visit us after a while,” Qiao Mei said.

“Then then how long will it take?” Xia Yue asked aggrievedly.

Qiao Mei gave Xia Zhe a look. It was up to Xia Zhe to think about how to coax the children. Xia Zhe picked Xia Yue up and said, “Papa doesn’t know how long it will take, but we can make a pact. Every day that Papa is away, I’ll save a piece of candy for you. When I come back, I’ll give you all the candy, alright?”
