“It’s… it’s a Mr. He who asked me to come!” Auntie Zhang said agitatedly.
“What does he want you to do?” Xia He asked immediately.
“Nothing much. He just wants me to steal your documents. He said that if you don’t have any school admission documents, you will be sent back home. My son can then take your place and he’ll achieve his goal as well. He even gave me 30,000 dollars in foreign currency as remuneration!” Auntie Zhang told the truth.
This He Ning was like a ghost which refused to stop haunting them. Even though they were in Country M, he was still doing everything he could to cause trouble for them.
He Ning could not bear to let Qiao Mei leave the capital. The simplest solution was to make Qiao Mei lose the reason to stay in Country M. This way, Qiao Mei would have to return to the capital and be under his watch. If not for the strict rules in the capital and the fact that he could not go overseas without any special reasons, he would have bought the villa next door to Qiao Mei’s current house and moved in.
“Alright, take your things and go,” Qiao Mei said as she waved her hand.
Auntie Zhang picked up the bag which Luo Yu had already packed for her and left the town overnight. As for where Auntie Zhang went in the future, they were not interested. Qiao Mei noted down this debt. When she returned home, she would definitely find a chance to make sure that He Ning paid it back with interest.
Auntie Wang and Auntie Cui packed up the documents and valuables on the floor and everyone returned to their rooms to rest.
The next morning, Auntie Wang and Auntie Cui stayed upstairs to take care of the children and Luo Hui joined them. They would not leave the room today without Qiao Mei’s orders.
At nine o’clock, John arrived as promised. This time, he did not bring so many men with him, only two. When Xia He saw the two men, her body instantly tensed up. She could tell that these two men were different and their gait was completely different from those people who came yesterday. Even if Luo Yu and her teamed up, it would still be very difficult to even deal with just one of them.
“Be careful. These two men are not to be trifled with. If anything happens, run out immediately and don’t look back,” Xia He said in a low voice.
“l understand,” Qiao Mei said cautiously.
Qiao Mei and Xia He sat on the sofa on the left while John sat on the chaise longue on the right. The two men stood behind him.
“You look very different today from the first time I saw you,” John said as he looked at Qiao Mei admiringly.
“Is that so? After all, this is the first time I’m officially meeting Mr. John, so I have to be more mindful,” Qiao Mei said politely.
John looked at Qiao Mei and was lost in his thoughts for a long time. The last time they met, Qiao Mei was dressed very simply. Although John had taken a fancy to her looks then, her beauty was definitely not as visually impactful as today.
Qiao Mei was wearing a navy blue dress with lilies embroidered on it and it made her skin look as fair as snow. She was so beautiful.
“Let’s cut the crap and get straight to the point,” John said after coughing twice.
“These two men must be people whom Mr. John trusts. Can we just talk frankly here?” Qiao Mei asked tentatively.
“Sure. Have you thought about what I said yesterday?” John asked.
“Of course. I just don’t know if Mr. John can give me what I want,” Qiao Mei said.
“In Country M, there’s nothing that I can’t give you. If you can find one thing, I’ll reward you with 200,000 dollars!” John said confidently.
Qiao Mei quickly said, “I’ve definitely heard of Mr. John’s reputation. I wonder if Mr. John can sell me a farm nearby?”
“What do you mean? You’re a woman, so what do you want the farm for? Are you able to do farm work?” John asked suspiciously.
He had thought that Qiao Mei would ask for something exorbitant. To him, women only liked things like jewelry, houses, cars. He had all these in abundance and he could give her as much as she wanted. However, he did not expect Qiao Mei to want a farm.
“Of course I can. Otherwise, I won’t have made such a request,” Qiao Mei said.
The word “request” obviously greatly fed John’s vanity, but a farm was not just any plaything, especially since Qiao Mei had specifically mentioned the farm nearby.
Although the farm was an old one, it occupied a huge area. Back then, John had bought it with the intention to build a warehouse to store his firearms or some old items..
