“Really?” Qiao Mei asked as she raised her head to look at Xia Zhe.

“Yes, really. It’s so amazing of you to capture Yang Jiu so that you can come and rescue me. You’re really very capable and I’m very proud of you. Without you, things won’t have gone so smoothly this time and I won’t have been lucky enough to escape from the Yang family.” Xia Zhe kissed Qiao Mei t s forehead gently and she began to calm down.

She still did not know how to explain to Xia Zhe about her marksmanship, her strategies, how she found the secret compartments in those rooms and how she stashed away Yang Jiao’s treasures.

She had not started to fabricate the reasons for being able to do all these things. Xia Zhe also had his doubts, but he was more willing to choose to believe in her. He believed that she loved him, would also stand by his side and was his absolutely loyal wife.

Qiao Mei leaned against Xia Zhe to rest for a while. Suddenly, she felt

something pressing against her waist. She took out a whole bunch of gold and silver jewelry from her pocket and stuffed them into Xia Zhe’s hands.

“Help me find a place to put this. It’s causing me some discomfort,” Qiao Mei said unhappily with a pout.

Xia Zhe looked at the jewelry in his hand and smiled. It seemed that killing people did not really have any big impact on Qiao Mei. At this moment, she could still think about sleeping and treasures. Da Dong drove very steadily and it did not take long for them to return to Xia Zhe’s villa. Xia Zhe carried Qiao Mei to the bedroom. He still had other things to do.

“You guys have worked hard today. If not for you, Miss Pu might have been captured by Yang Jiu. Thank you,” Xia Zhe said sincerely as he looked at Da Dong and the rest.

This was the first time Da Dong and the others had seen Xia Zhe behave like this. In the past, Xia Zhe was very strict with them and never gave them any good attitude. Now, Xia Zhe was actually thanking them!

Was this part of a dream?

“No, no, no! It’s Miss Pu who’s brave and skillful! If not for Miss Pu, we would have to go through a fierce battle!” Da Dong said quickly.

“Yes, but I still want to thank you all. I’ll be away for a while. You must protect Miss Pu during this period of time,” Xia Zhe instructed.

“Of course! Don’t worry, Boss! We’ll definitely protect the lady boss!” Da Nan shouted excitedly.

Da Dong hurriedly gave Da Nan a kick. Although in their hearts, Qiao Mei was the best candidate to be their lady boss, Xia Zhe had not announced her status yet! What if they angered Xia Zhe by calling her that!

Xia Zhe lowered his head and smiled as he said, “Go and rest.’

When dawn broke, everything the Yang family did was exposed to the public. It looked like Sky City would be chaotic for a period of time. As Jack had saved the prominent families in Sky City from Yang Jiao, these people all sent money to Jack to express their gratitude. As a result, Jack’s status in Sky City became even more stable.

As for the matter regarding the Yang family, the higher-ups in the organization found a random explanation for it in order to cover their involvement. The extermination of the entire Yang family was indeed terrifying, but the Yang family had always been very annoying. They had many enemies, so it was easy to just find an “unlucky party” to pin the crime on and close the issue.

Qiao Mei was a little traumatized by everything that happened and fell into a deep sleep for an entire day and night. Xia Zhe simply lay beside her and accompanied her silently.

“Em… how long did I sleep?” Qiao Mei said groggily.

“You almost became the sleeping beauty!” Xia Zhe said with a laugh.

“Then you should kiss me awake!” Qiao Mei said to Xia Zhe with a grin.

Xia Zhe quickly lowered his head and kissed Qiao Mei on the lips. “Are you awake now?”

“I’m awake!” Qiao Mei replied as she stretched.

“l might have to go back for a while. Jiang Ting has already brought the Yang family’s father and son and our senior back to the country. 1 also need to go back for a few days to submit my report. There are also some things that I have to bring back to my superiors,” Xia Zhe said as he massaged Qiao Mei’s head.

“Then will you come back?” Qiao Mei asked as she hugged Xia Zhe.

Qiao Mei lay in Xia Zhe’s arms and felt a little unhappy. She had thought that Xia Zhe’s mission would take at least another two to three years. She did not expect Xia Zhe’s mission to end after she had only been here for half a year. Did that mean that the two of them had to continue to live separately from each other in the future? She could not possibly abandon her studies here!

“I’ll be back. I can do more things over here. I’m going back this time to apply to my superiors to come back here as an undercover agent,” Xia Zhe said with a smile..
