“Can you remove the ropes from my granduncle’s hands and feet! They’re too tight! His wrists and ankles have already turned purple!” Qiao Mei said unhappily.

Huang Quan looked at the weak Gao Lin and then at Qiao Mei. It was already very difficult for Gao Lin to even stand up, let alone escape with Qiao Mei. Surely an old man and a weak woman would not be able to escape from two grown men?

“Hey! Go! Untie him!” Huang Quan said, looking at Ah Kun and pointing at Gao Lin.

Ah Kun did not even look up when Huang Quan spoke. He did not even want to look at Huang Quan. He would only take instructions from Brother Bin. Other than Brother Bin, no one else could order him around.

Huang Quan said in annoyance, “Didn’t you hear what I said to you?”

“Don’t waste your time. He won’t die from being tied up. I’m busy eating!” Ah Kun said sulkily.

Qiao Mei could tell that Ah Kun and Huang Quan did not get on well with each other. Moreover, Ah Kun was very diligent. When she was cooking just now, she took the chance to observe Ah Kun. At that time, he kept playing with the gun in his hand. He looked like he was doing it mindlessly, but in fact, the gun was aimed at Qiao Mei and Huang Quan the whole time. If either of them made any wrong move, Ah Kun would shoot without hesitation and kill them in one shot.

Huang Quan could not bring himself to go and untie the ropes from Gao Lin’s hands and feet. He was the boss! How could a boss do such chores!

Qiao Mei sighed resignedly and said, “Since neither of you wants to help me, I’ll untie the knots myself!”

The knots were very professionally done and were tied in a complicated way. Qiao Mei had learned a lot from Xia Zhe when she was in Sky City. In those two years, she had a lot of free time anyway. Not only did she learn combat fighting, but she also learned how to shoot with both guns and arrows, ride a horse and fly a helicopter, among other things. It was Xia Zhe who taught her all these.

She had a talent for all these skills. Although she could not beat Xia Zhe, she could spar with Xia He for at least a hundred blows. As for shooting skills, she was also on par with Xia He.

However, she had to appear obtuse in front of these men. She took a total of 40 minutes to untie the two knots. By the end, Ah Kun and Huang Quan were no longer so guarded against her.

Gao Lin looked at Qiao Mei and whispered, “Mei Mei, when they fall asleep in the later half of the night, find an opportunity to escape. Don’t worry about me.”

“Granduncle, you should never give up. We’ve even survived the Zhang family. Do we need to be afraid of something like this?” Qiao Mei said.

Seeing how determined Qiao Mei was, Gao Lin did not try to dissuade her anymore. He decided to think about how he could leave with Qiao Mei. The most important thing for him to do now was to conserve energy.

Qiao Mei helped Gao Lin straighten his clothes, but her gaze was fixed on the crack in the wall behind Gao Lin.

Xia Zhe was looking tenderly at Qiao Mei from behind that wall. He had been waiting here for a long while. When Qiao Mei started cooking, he had already reached the spot behind the wall. He had wanted to launch an attack a few times before he realized that Ah Kun was well trained in martial arts. If he rushed out too rashly, he would cause Qiao Mei and Gao Lin to get hurt.

Qiao Mei had also already sensed Xia Zhe’s presence. Otherwise, she would not have kept finding ways to irritate Huang Quan while she was cooking. Their eyes met and Qiao Mei nodded slightly. Xia Zhe walked around the wall to a spot near the main door while Qiao Mei went to the kitchen to get a bowl of soup for Gao Lin.

“You should drink some. Don’t just take care of me,” Gao Lin said.

“I’m fine, Granduncle. You have to get back your strength. When we get out of here, we’ll have to travel a long distance and I won’t be able to carry you the whole way,” Qiao Mei said.

Both Huang Quan and Ah Kun overheard her saying that and the two of them immediately became wary. Brother Bin had not received the money yet, so how could Qiao Mei be able to get out of here?

However, whatever Qiao Mei said also made sense. After all, the Xia family was now the richest and most powerful family in the capital. They could not underestimate the Xia family’s capability. It was possible that the Xia family might even find them and rescue Qiao Mei before they received the money. Ah Kun picked up his gun and decided to do a patrol around the warehouse. He wanted to ensure that the surrounding area was safe.

Qiao Mei held the soup bowl tightly in her hand. When Ah Kun reached the door, Xia Zhe made a move immediately and knocked Ah Kun out. Before Huang Quan could even react, Qiao Mei raised the porcelain bowl and rushed towards him, smashing it forcefully on his head. Huang Quan collapsed on the spot and bled profusely from his head.

Gao Lin was stunned to the spot. Everything had happened too fast and he could not even tell how Huang Quan and Ah Kun had fallen unconscious.
