Xia He was very efficient and bought that empty plot of land within a day. With their fake ident.i.ties, it was much more convenient for them to do anything they wanted.

When she reached home and opened the door, she saw Auntie w.a.n.g and Auntie Zhang gathering everyone together to make dumplings. It was customary to eat dumplings during a reunion. Apart from making dumplings during the new year and festive seasons, people also made dumplings when family members came home from overseas. When she saw Xia Zhe, she was too surprised to react. She stood stunned at the door for a long time before she walked in slowly.

“Why are you still standing there? Put down your things and come have your meal!” Qiao Mei shouted.

“When… when did you arrive?” Xia He asked as she looked at Xia Zhe confusedly.

“This afternoon. I didn’t tell any of you in advance because it was a last-minute decision. I’m going back tomorrow,” Xia Zhe said.

“Tomorrow! So soon!” Qiao Mei said in surprise.

“There are still a lot of things to do at the office and I can’t stay away for too long,” Xia Zhe said resignedly. He also wanted to stay here and accompany

Qiao Mei and the children, but time was tight and he had a lot of work to do. He needed to expand into the market as soon as possible and gain more standing in Country M.

All the household staff in this house had come from the capital with Qiao Mei. After spending so much time together, all of them knew their livelihoods depended on her. She did not need to hide anything from them as they were very clear about their roles in this household. They would not question anything their employer did and would not see and hear things they should not.

After everyone ate the reunion dumplings, Xia Zhe brought Qiao Mei to the bas.e.m.e.nt. He had already asked Luo Yu and Luo Hui to place the things he brought with him here. These things could not be seen in public, so it was better to have his own people handle it.

“Why are you being so mysterious?” Qiao Mei asked.

“l wrote you a letter some time ago about how the a.s.sets of the Zhang family were distributed. However, I realized that the list of a.s.sets of the Zhang family is very complicated and not as simple as it looks on the surface. 1 transferred whatever I could to the Gao family. The rest of the a.s.sets are all dirty money which came from dubious sources, so I didn’t hand these over to the Gao family,” Xia Zhe explained.

Qiao Mei also knew that since the Zhang family had a long history in Sky City, they definitely had a more complicated background than the Yang family. However, when she heard about the Zhang family’s hidden a.s.sets, it still gave her a big shock.

They operated almost 200 black markets across the entire Country M, both big and small. They also carried out all kinds of prohibited weapons transactions, drug deals and so on. They did business with all kinds of dangerous people, so it was no wonder that Zhang Cheng would rather turn himself in.

All these places were now in a mess and a few had already been taken over by their compet.i.tors. Xia Zhe had also tried his best to take over a few, but it was only like a drop in the ocean. Anyway, that was not his real goal.

“I found out something that is really strange. In the very beginning, the Zhang family made it big from buying lottery tickets. Every time they bought a lottery ticket, they would win a big prize and it was almost always the first prize,” Xia Zhe said confusedly.

Qiao Mei’s eyes lit up. Could it be that the function of that cufflink was to bring good luck to its owner? Once she was clear about its function, then it would not be difficult for her to sever its connection with Zhang Cheng.

“Then what’s this box?” Qiao Mei asked as she knocked on the box.

Xia Zhe opened the box and showed her all the jewelry and gemstones inside. When he saw all these in the Zhang family’s house, he had already decided to bring them back for Qiao Mei. She would definitely be very happy to see these.

Just as he expected, Qiao Mei picked up the jewelry joyously. These were all rare treasures! She did not expect Zhang Cheng to have such good taste. The craftsmans.h.i.+p of these jewelry was very exquisite. Perhaps Zhang Cheng was actually trying to find other jewelry which had the same ability as his cufflink.

Then why was Dr. Julie, the one who worked with Bella, also in possession of the energy? Could it be that she also owned a piece of Gao Tao’s jewelry? If so, it would be very difficult for Qiao Mei to get the jewelry back from Dr. Julie. If she insisted on taking it back, there may be many lives lost in the process.

However, Qiao Mei really wanted to gather all of Gao Tao’s jewelry from back then. For a moment, she was at a loss, but then she decided to leave the issue aside for now. She would think about this again when the time was right. Now was not the right time.

That night, Xia Zhe slept in the room with the children and he left the small town early the next morning. He promised Qiao Mei that he would come again when he had some free time.

The weather in the town had been quite good so Qiao Mei rolled up her sleeves and started to work on the new plot of land which Xia He bought. There was no need for anyone to plow the land manually here. Everything was done using machines..
