Chapter 2335: Promise Me
Editor: Atlas Studios
Tan Jing knew that this person was sent by the Huang family. She immediately changed her clothes and followed closely behind the person. The woman let Tan Jing tag along as she pushed the rubbish cart down the corridor.
“Don’t make any sound. Keep your head down and follow closely behind me,” the woman whispered.
There was no obstruction along the way and no one stopped them. There was already someone waiting for Tan Jing outside. She was pushed into the car and they promptly left the mental hospital.
The car sped on the road, as if they were on the run. Tan Jing sized up the person sitting in front. She seemed to recognize him. He was one of the Huang family’s regular hired thugs and was the one who did many shady things for them.
“If this is such a good deal, why aren’t you the one carrying out the task? Why do they need me to do it?” Tan Jing asked.
“Hey, why are you so talkative! Do whatever they tell you to do!” the man said.
Tan Jing looked down and smiled. If the Huang family had to make use of her to kill Qiao Mei, that must mean there was really no able person left in the family. She wondered if she should classify the Huang family as smart or stupid?
“Where are we headed?” Tan Jing asked.
“To a place where there is no one!” the man said.
Tan Jing waved her hand and said, “Take me home. I need to get my things.”
There was a moment of silence on the other end of the phone before the person said, “I’m sorry, we still don’t know yet.”
Xia Wen immediately hung up and made a call to Qiao Mei. It was a long time before the phone was picked up and she said irritably, “Who is it?”
“It’s me, Xia Wen. Get someone to guard the door well. Everyone entering and leaving must be checked thoroughly. Don’t let the children come back for the time being. It’s safer for them to continue staying in the army base,” Xia Wen said.
Qiao Mei’s sleepiness immediately disappeared. Something serious must have happened for Xia Wen to say that.
“What’s the matter? What happened?” Qiao Mei asked.
“Tan Jing has escaped. It’s already been a few hours. Don’t go out for the time being. I’ll get someone to send food to your house. Make sure no one leaves your house,” Xia Wen said.
Qiao Mei hesitated for a moment before saying, “Yes, I know.”
“This is not child’s play! Qiao Mei, don’t make me worry about you.” Xia Wen reminded her again.
“Don’t worry, Elder Brother. I promise you,” Qiao Mei said.
After a short discussion, the two of them ended the phone call. Qiao Mei sat in front of the phone and stared into space for a while. After thinking for a while, she returned to the bedroom to continue sleeping. To her, nothing was more important than her beauty sleep.
Xia Wen arranged for a big team to investigate Tan Jing’s whereabouts and thereafter to set up an ambush nearby. So long as Tan Jing did not actually hurt anyone from the Xia family, she was free to go around. He wanted to catch her in the act so that he could have a reason to put her away.
Unexpectedly, Tan Jing did not do anything. She stayed at home quietly for the past two days and did not go anywhere.
