Chapter 1942: House of Gold

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

They wondered if anyone had ever seen a bed made of gold?

Yang Jiao’s entire bed was made of gold. It was two meters long and three meters wide and took up the most space in the bedroom. Even the supporting pillars next to the bed were made of gold. This bed probably weighed a ton.

The entire room was decorated with gold and gemstones. Even the picture frames on the wall were made of gold and looked very old-fashioned. Qiao Mei suspected that Yang Jiao’s slippers were also made of gold.

There was an old saying, “If one studies hard, one will be able to get a charming bride and a house of gold.” At this moment, Qiao Mei was staring at the proverbial house of gold without needing to study hard.

“Goodness… My poor eyes…” Qiao Mei rubbed her eyes in discomfort.

“Wait for me here. I’ll go in and take a look.” With that, Xia Zhe stepped into the “house of gold”.

Qiao Mei continued to use her superpower to check the structure of the room.

This room was different from the other rooms. There were no hidden

compartments and no secret room, not even a safe.

“How can this be?” Qiao Mei muttered to herself.

“What’s wrong?” Xia Zhe asked.

“There doesn’t seem to be anything special about this room. It’s just a bedroom and nothing else,” Qiao Mei said in surprise.

Xia Zhe looked around. There was indeed nothing which looked to be related to the list. There was not even a piece of paper in the entire room. He turned around and left the room dejectedly.

Just as the door was about to close, Qiao Mei suddenly saw a golden vase on Yang Jiao’s windowsill. By right, items like vases and flower pots were displayed in pairs. Why would Yang Jiao place one single golden vase on the windowsill?

“Wait! Look there and see if there’s anything strange!” Qiao Mei said as she pointed at the windowsill.

Xia Zhe immediately ran over to pick up the vase. It was densely covered with words that were carved on it. It looked to be Buddhist scriptures engraved on the outer wall of the vase. It did not look like anything special, but then he discovered that the words on the inner wall of the vase were not Buddhist scriptures! It was the list that he was looking for!

“Bingo! This is what I’m looking for! 1 know you’ll definitely be able to find it!” Xia Zhe said excitedly as he picked Qiao Mei up.

“Let’s go now! Dawn is breaking soon. We have to leave quickly,” Qiao Mei said with a smile.

Before Qiao Mei left, she turned around to look at Yang Jiao’s room reluctantly. There was not only gold kept inside, but also many oil paintings by famous artists, as well as all kinds of gemstones and jade. If these things were all burned down, what a huge loss it would be…

Xia Zhe seemed to understand how sad Qiao Mei was. He looked at the time and said, “There are still 20 minutes before dawn breaks. I can give you some time to move things out.”

“Really?” Qiao Mei asked as she looked at Xia Zhe expectantly.

“Yes, just like those things hidden under our house,” Xia Zhe whispered softly as a reminder.

Downstairs, Da Nan and the others were frantically splashing gasoline around the house. Qiao Mei rushed upstairs, avoiding any booby traps and started throwing things out of the window. In a spot where no one could see, a bunch of vines and weeds caught and grabbed all the things which Qiao Mei threw down. The moment those things touched the ground, they disappeared.

In less than 20 minutes, Qiao Mei had already emptied more than half the entire house. Although Qiao Mei really wanted to take Yang Jiao’s golden bed, even 30 men could not lift this huge thing, so Qiao Mei could only give up the idea.

When it was time, Da Nan led Qiao Mei back to the car. Xia Zhe slowly lit a cigarette and then threw the lighter into the house. There was a loud boom and the entire villa was immediately engulfed in a sea of fire as Xia Zhe and his team drove away quickly.

Finally, everything was settled. On the way home, Qiao Mei saw the blood on the hem of her dress. She suddenly recalled what she had done when she kidnapped Yang Jiu just now. At that time, her mind was filled with only thoughts of saving Xia Zhe. She did not even think about the price she had to pay for doing those things. At that moment, as long as she could save Xia Zhe, she would do anything.

Now that Xia Zhe was sitting safely beside her, she began to recall all the things that happened back then and could not help but tremble. Xia Zhe immediately hugged Qiao Mei and asked, “What’s wrong? Do you feel cold?” “I… I think I killed some people…” Qiao Mei repeated as she stared blankly at her hands.

Xia Zhe hugged Qiao Mei tightly. He held her hands and said, “You must be referring to those people with Yang Jiu. Those people are all heinous bad guys. What you did was not wrong. I’m proud of you..”
