"Your mother beat my father to death! We want money for his treatment! If you don't give it to us, we'll go to the police!" Zhao Kai threatened.
As long as none of them mentioned anything about Li Gui's kidnapping and stuck to the fact that Li Gui had hurt Zhao Liu, Qiao Mei would have to give them a lot of money.
Qiao Mei was not a fool and would not simply believe whatever other people said. Moreover, she was familiar with the law and knew very well who would be at a disadvantage if this entire matter ended up with the police. She did not care about the nonsense that Zhao Kai was spewing at all. Nothing was more important than Li Gui's life.
"Is it true just because you say it's true? We had been here all afternoon but didn't see anything! Who knows if what you say is true!" Qian'e said angrily.
"If you don't believe me! I'll bring you to the place where my father was injured!" Zhao Kun said.
There were mountains and rivers near this village. If Li Gui really hurt Zhao Liu in order to escape, then the plants in the village would definitely have seen her. Qiao Mei suppressed the excitement in her heart and said, "Bring us there to take a look."
Zhao Kai walked in front while Qiao Mei, Qian'e and Xia He walked behind him. Luo Yu and Xia Wen stood on each side to protect them.
They did not have to walk far before they reached the place where Zhao Liu was attacked last night. There was indeed a pool of blood on the ground and it looked like it was really a lot of blood! Perhaps Zhao Kai was telling the truth.
While they were talking, Qiao Mei gently stroked a big tree at the side and secretly did an exchange of energy with it. Qiao Mei saw the entire process of what happened last night. She saw a man with Li Gui. Looking at that man's figure… it was Zhao Fei!
She did not expect Zhao Fei to have successfully saved Li Gui. Earlier, Qiao Mei had no choice but to seek Zhao Fei's help. She did not expect him to really come through.
"See! Go and get the money!" Zhao Kai said.
"Who knows if what you say is true or not? Maybe you killed a dog and let it bleed out here? We don't even know if it's human blood, so I won't give you money! Even if Zhao Liu is really injured, what evidence do you have to prove that it was my mother who hit him!" Qiao Mei questioned.
Zhao Kai stammered and could not give an answer. Qiao Mei stared at Zhao Kun, who was behind Zhao Kai, and asked, "I'll ask you one last time, is my mother in your hands!"
"She's really not…" Zhao Kun said softly.
Qiao Mei did not continue to question him. Instead, she shouted at the crowd outside, "If you don't want to die, then get lost!"
She took out a big stack of money from her pocket and threw it into the sky. Everyone rushed forward and bent over the ground to pick up the money, not caring if Qiao Mei and the others were still around.
Taking advantage of the chaos, they hurriedly drove away. Xia Wen and the others did not expect Qiao Mei to leave so quickly, but what else could they do except to leave the place? Even Chi Ze and the others said that Li Gui was really not in the village anymore.
Qiao Mei secretly took out a small vine from inside her sleeve and gradually made it grow longer through the gap in the door. Just like that, it dragged on the ground and kept releasing energy.
The surrounding plants all conversed with Qiao Mei and it was extremely noisy. Qiao Mei's face turned paler and paler as she was about to run out of energy.
At this moment, she suddenly heard the voices of Li Gui and Zhao Fei nearby.
"Stop the car!" Qiao Mei suddenly shouted.
Luo Yu was so shocked that he quickly stepped on the brakes. Everyone looked at Qiao Mei in shock and confusion. Qiao Mei did not care less and quickly got out of the car to observe the surrounding terrain.
"Brother Luo Yu! All of you used to be soldiers! See if there are any clues nearby!" Qiao Mei said as she pointed at the gra.s.s patch nearby.
The men were all trained in reconnaissance before. Everyone went into the gra.s.s to search. In less than 10 minutes, Luo Yu found a small path.
"Here! Come and take a look!" Luo Yu shouted.
The road to get to him was very steep so it was not convenient for Qiao Mei to go over. Qian'e stayed behind to take care of Qiao Mei while Xia He ran to Luo Yu's side to take a look.
"Let's follow this path and look around first. The rest of you can go elsewhere to take a look," Xia He said.
"Alright, I'll bring three people with me. You guys go home first," Luo Yu said sternly.
Xia Wen looked at Qiao Mei suspiciously. Even for ex-soldiers like them, they did not dare to say for sure where they could find clues. How did Qiao Mei determine that there were clues nearby?
