Chapter 2337: Coming Back Soon
So many lives had been lost in Tan Jing's hands! Xia Wen could not sit back and do nothing anymore. Since the Huang family could still have designs on Qiao Mei and the Xia family when they were already struggling at death's door, then they could not blame him for being ruthless.
"Seal off access to the river and get a dive team to go in. I must find her, no matter dead or alive. Also, find that driver's corpse. Mobilize everyone! Call me immediately once the corpse is found," Xia Wen said.
Since this person had died near where the Huang family members lived, it must have
something to do with them. Even if it had nothing to do with them, Xia Wen would make sure that it looked like it did. After all, Tan Jing had given him such a good piece of evidence. It would be a pity if he did not make good use of it.
The Huang family members had a good night's sleep. Ever since they were poisoned, their hearing and vision had deteriorated a lot. Therefore, they could actually sleep very soundly at night.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
Early the next morning, the village chief came to their house with most of the villagers. The group shouted loudly, "Fiends who bring harm to the village! How dare you kill someone! You're murderers! Murderers! Come out! Murderers! Come out!"
You Yu and Huang Can looked out of the window in confusion. They did not know what had happened, but they heard something about a murder... Could it be that Tan Jing had succeeded in killing Qiao Mei? This was really great news!
However, the people standing outside the door were all from this village. Why would all these people stand up for Qiao Mei? Could it be that Qiao Mei had done them a favor in the past?
As he listened to the loud yelling, Huang Can could tell that something was wrong. He tugged at You Yu in fear and said, "Mom... I think they're saying that we killed someone. And that the dead person is at the door..."
Qiao Mei quickly explained, "I'm just curious! Just being a busybody!"
"Don't go out at all and don't act rashly no matter what you hear," Xia Wen reminded her again.
"Yes, I understand." Then, Qiao Mei seemed to have thought of something and whispered to Xia Wen, "Elder Brother, when is Xia Zhe coming back? Do the higher-ups have any plans? I haven't received any calls from him recently."
"Yes. Fang Chen had suffered from some failed investments and he found it difficult to accept the outcome, so he committed suicide by jumping into the sea. There were many witnesses. When his body was found, it was no longer recognizable and they had to identify him by the accessories he was wearing," Xia Wen said expressionlessly.
Qiao Mei looked at Xia Wen in a daze. Xia Wen sighed and said, "It's staged. It's a death row inmate's body. He's already on his way back. Don't worry."
Qiao Mei heaved a sigh of relief and asked happily, "How long until he gets back?"
"Between one to two months," Xia Wen said.
One month was not a long time. She would be able to see Xia Zhe soon! They could be together every day soon!
Qiao Mei was not worried that Tan Jing would be able to harm her at all. If Tan Jing was smart enough, she should be most worried about her own survival instead of trying to kill Qiao Mei.
"Alright, alright! Stop talking! It's really too disgusting to talk about her! I really can't stand it anymore! Let's eat," Xia He said uncomfortably as she touched her stomach.
