Chapter 1614 Kidnapping
Early the next morning, Qiao Mei sat at the reading corner and drank milk while waiting for breakfast. Xia He had turned down all interviews and work to be with Qiao Mei. Now that she was a big star, there were people secretly taking photos of her wherever she went.
"Now that you're married, does that mean that the guy from the Song family doesn't come and look for you anymore?" Qiao Mei asked.
"Of course not. He wasn't after my beauty in the first place. Now that his plan has been exposed, why will he still look for me?" Xia He said disdainfully.
Song Dan had indeed stopped following Xia He but there were now other men wooing Xia He. These men would gather at the entrance of the art troupe building and wait for Xia He to get off work. Sometimes, Deng Fan would even get jealous!
"What about his grandfather? Is he alright?" Qiao Mei asked as she looked up at Xia He.
"I've asked around previously and he's not too bad now. I don't know what the Song family offered in exchange for half a ginseng from the He family. His grandfather is considered safe for now," Xia He said.
Old Master Song was an innocent party in this. Qiao Mei did not want such innocent people to get hurt in the dispute. After Qiao Mei became a military spouse, she had reminded Xia He to send medicinal wine to Liang Shu and to watch Liang Shu drink it with her own eyes.
Liang Shu's impression of Qiao Mei had become better and better. Every time Liang Lan saw Xia He, she would have a strange expression on her face. That expression left a deep impression on Xia He and she felt amused every time she thought about it.
Liang Shu did not have anyone to take care of her now and she lived alone in the old house. Some time ago, she seemed to have found her conscience for some reason and even sent some food to Qiao Qiang. In the end, Xu Kang threw everything into the trash can.
Xu Kang did not dare to let the family eat such things of unknown origin! However, she had done it secretly and did not dare to tell Qiao Qiang about it. She was scared that he would be angry, so she discussed this matter with Xia He.
Qiao Mei was not trying to help Liang Shu out of the kindness of her heart. She just did not want Qiao Qiang to feel any regrets over this matter a few years from now. The Liang family owed him a debt that they would never be able to repay in this lifetime, and Qiao Mei wanted to make sure that he did not owe the Liang family anything.
"Ring, ring, ring!!!"
The phone rang shrilly and Xia He hurried over to answer it. After listening for a while, her face instantly fell. Qiao Mei also noticed her expression and slowly walked to her side.
"What's wrong? What happened?" Qiao Mei asked.
Xia He hung up the phone and looked at Qiao Mei nervously. "You… if I tell you, you must keep your composure and not be rash…"
"Go ahead," Qiao Mei said as she looked at Xia He in confusion.
"It's Qian'e who called. She said… she said… she said that Auntie had been kidnapped by those people from the Zhao Family Village…" Xia He said in a trembling voice.
When Qiao Mei heard the news, she immediately rushed to the door. Xia He quickly held on to her and said, "Qiao Mei! Qiao Mei, calm down! You're pregnant! I'll go to the factory to take a look now! I'll go and take a look for you! Don't be anxious! Just wait for my news at home! Don't be agitated!"
Qiao Mei took a few deep breaths and touched her slightly bulging stomach. She must protect herself first. Only when she was safe and sound would she be able to save Li Gui.
Why did she not think of this! She clearly knew that Zhao Liu had been l.u.s.ting about Li Gui for a long time, but she did not ask Li Gui to go home and stay there for now.
This matter was no one else's fault. It was all because of the wicked people from the Zhao family who caught them off guard!
"Where's Qian'e?" Qiao Mei asked calmly.
Seeing that Qiao Mei had calmed down, Xia He slowly let go of Qiao Mei's hand and said, "The villagers at the entrance of the factory have all dispersed. When Zou Ming rushed to the scene, he only caught a few of the old and weak ones who did not manage to escape in time, but those people don't know where Zhao Liu has gone. Qian'e is rus.h.i.+ng to our place now."
"Then let's wait for Qian'e at home first. We can all discuss what to do." Qiao Mei walked stiffly to the sofa and sat down. She had to remain calm and face this matter soberly.
The villagers of the Zhao family village must have kidnapped Li Gui to use her as a bargaining chip to threaten Qiao Mei. Since Li Gui was the bargaining chip, they definitely would not let Zhao Liu get close to her and do anything to hurt her. As long as Li Gui was safe and sound, Qiao Mei would not hesitate to give up everything.
