After Transmigrating, The Fat Wife Made A Comeback! - Chapter 2396

Chapter 2396: Arriving in Country L

“Those three men are definitely not the masterminds. They must be people she hired. It’s not easy to get into the hospital to bribe the staff there. It looks like… the person behind this is either very rich or of noble status,” Qiao Mei said sternly.

She did not know what kind of bargaining chip Qiao Yu used for the nurse to willingly move her entire family out of the capital. It must be a sum of money that would allow the nurse’s entire family to live without worry.

“We can’t wait anymore. Let’s go and look for them now!” Qiao Mei went to pack her luggage after saying that.

Since the other party had put in so much effort, the person must be a long-time enemy of the Xia family and had a deep grudge with them. Every minute that passed was a life-threatening situation for Xia Yang.

If it was possible, she would exchange her own life for Xia Yang’s life.

Xia Zhe wanted Qiao Mei to stay at home and recuperate, but obviously she would not listen to him. Even if she agreed, she would definitely take action on her own later. It was better for him to stay by her side so that he could take care of her and also lessen her burden.

Qiao Mei brought along her most treasured item, a small red pill. It was a small pill refined from ginseng essence which she had nurtured for a long time. This pill could bring a person back from the dead.

A person would not die immediately after the last breath. If she could seize that small window period, Xia Yang could still be saved. Of course, this was Qiao Mei’s worst-case scenario.

If anyone dared to lay a finger on Xia Yang, she would make those people pay with their blood!

“Don’t worry, I’ll be with you all the way. I’ll definitely bring Xia Yang back,” Xia Zhe said firmly as he hugged Qiao Mei.

“I believe you,” Qiao Mei said.

As long as the child was still alive, she would satisfy any condition which Qiao Yu asked for.

When they set off, it was Xia Wen who sent them off. He looked at Xia Zhe and said, “I’ll take care of things in the capital. Let me know if there’s any news. If I get any new information, I’ll let you know too. Remember to call home to let us know that you’re safe every time you reach a new place.”

“Yes, Elder Brother,” Xia Zhe said.

By now, they had found out that Qiao Yu was in Hua City. There were very few trains to Hua City, so Qiao Mei and Xia Zhe could only drive there. Accompanying them were a few well-trained members of the guard team.

After traveling for one day and one night, they arrived in Hua City. However, the moment they arrived, they received the latest news that the group had gone overseas. In this era, as long as one could escape the country, one could settle down and start a new life in another place.

“They really left,” Qiao Mei said with a frown.

Xia Wen had given them two names and phone numbers, people who could tell them where Qiao Yu was. After Qiao Mei hung up the phone, she immediately went to deal with the issue.

“There’s no hurry. We already haven’t slept for a day and a night. How can we go and look for the child if we should fall ill? Let’s take care of ourselves first,” Xia Zhe said as he held on to Qiao Mei.

“But we should at least make arrangements for the boat ride!” Qiao Mei said irritably.

“Elder Brother has already done it for us,” Xia Zhe said.

The group of them rested for a few hours at the guest house. After buying the necessary supplies, they went to the abandoned warehouse at the port at night. That was the place where smugglers often gathered.

Qiao Mei had not completed her confinement period yet and Xia Zhe could not bear to see her suffer. Since they could afford it, he wanted to make the trip by their own boat. Clearly that was not something that anyone could do. The boat was big and conspicuous, but if he contacted the gang leader in charge of the waterway and gave him enough money, there was still a chance of making it.

After Xia Zhe helped Qiao Mei put on her coat and made sure that she was kept warm, he whispered, “Have you memorized the map I gave you?”

“Yes, I’ve memorized it.” Qiao Mei nodded.

“We might get separated when we get there. I have ways to find you. If you encounter danger, you must protect yourself and don’t worry about me. Do you understand?” Xia Zhe said as he looked at Qiao Mei seriously.

If they ran into a dangerous situation, Qiao Mei would never bear to leave Xia Zhe behind and escape alone.

Xia Zhe held Qiao Mei’s hand tightly and said sternly, “Do you remember what I said?”

“I hear you,” Qiao Mei said.

The entire journey was made in complete silence. No one spoke and they communicated only with their eyes the entire time. When they started to approach the shore, everyone held their breaths, afraid that they would be discovered.

After getting off the boat, all of them ran towards the light at the same time. As long as they could keep themselves safe on the first day, they would be citizens of Country L! They would enjoy the same treatment as the citizens of Country L! Here, they could forget everything they had done in the past and start over!

Xia Wen had gotten a small house for them in Country L. It was in a very hidden location and ordinary people would not be able to find them.

“How are you? Are you alright? Are you cold?” Xia Zhe asked as he looked at Qiao Mei nervously.

“I’m fine,” Qiao Mei said with a smile.
