Chapter 2127: Running Off

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

In the blink of an eye, the Zhang and Li family members disappeared. Even rabbits did not run so fast. Molly looked at Qiao Mei anxiously and said, “Little Boss, these people are assholes! Now that they have left, they won’t come back!”

“Even if they don’t leave, we won’t be able to get any money. The police will just lock them up for three to five days and give them a verbal lecture. It’s a good thing for us if they leave the capital. When it comes to such people, it’s better to avoid them as much as possible. You must have been shocked by what happened today. I’ll give you two days off. Thank you for everything,” Qiao Mei comforted her.

Molly turned her head to take a look at Li Gui through the glass pane of the ward and then left the hospital with a sense of relief. Qiao Mei then hired a professional caregiver to take care of Li Gui.

Qiao Mei had never intended to let the Li and Zhang family members off. She just did not want to tell Molly too much.

As Qiao Mei had expected, none of the Zhang and Li family members came back to the hospital by nighttime. In fact, these people did not even bother to come and take care of Li Gui. Qiao Mei had already sent someone to wait at the train station. The moment the Zhang and Li family members appeared, they were captured immediately and brought to the warehouse in the suburbs.

This was during winter and the Zhang and Li family members spent the entire night in the freezing cold. They were all so cold that they trembled without making a sound. Qiao Mei only came over at around noon.

“Oh my, you’re all here! I thought that there would at least be a few people in your group with a conscience. I didn’t expect all of you to be such beasts!” Qiao Mei stood in front of them and said disdainfully.

“No matter how influential you are! You can’t kidnap us! We’re going to call the police!” Old Madam Li roared.

“You still have the strength to talk so much. The wind last night must not be cold enough. Tonight, we’ll open all the doors and windows in this warehouse and see if you can still remain so stubborn,” Qiao Mei said.

Li Dong looked at Qiao Mei and asked worriedly, “Where did you bring my wife! She’s pregnant!”

“Your wife? I didn’t see her? My men didn’t see Zhao Hong at that time. You must have remembered wrongly,” Qiao Mei said, pretending not to know anything.

After the Li family left the hospital, they had returned to the hotel to pack their luggage. They had full intention to leave together, but when they were caught by Qiao Mei’s men, everyone had fled in all directions. Li Dong simply just ran off, completely ignoring Zhao Hong who was pleading behind him.

Zhao Hong was already six to seven months pregnant and was about to give birth. The family had heard from the doctor in the county city that this baby was definitely a boy! Their entire family was overjoyed!

For a period of time, Zhao Hong could relax for the first time in her life. However, not long after, the housework piled up again. Even though she was pregnant, she still had to do all the housework and her body ached from the many old ailments she had.

“What an asshole! This woman must have run away! When I find her! I must teach her a lesson!” Li Dong said fiercely.

Qiao Mei looked at Li Dong in disgust. She had indeed captured Zhao Hong. She knew very well that Zhao Hong had never done anything to hurt Li Gui and her. Zhao Hong had been forced into all this by the Li family and was also a victim herself. No matter how much Qiao Mei hated the Li family, she would not make things difficult for a pregnant woman.

“Just stop talking.” Qiao Mei then turned to look at Old Madam Li and asked, “Didn’t you say that you would send the money to the hospital last night? Where’s the money? Why did you go to the train station before it was nighttime?”

“We Why would we have so much money with us in the capital! We we are going home to get the money!” Old Madam Li explained.

“Is that so? There’s no need for so many people to go back and get the money. How about this, you can choose a representative to go back and get the money to come back and redeem the rest,” Qiao Mei said.

Everyone looked at one another and Old Madam Li immediately said, “I’ll go! I’ve always been in charge of the money. They don’t even know where I keep it.”

“Mom! You’re old and it’s inconvenient for you to move around. Let me go back! Tell me where you keep the money and I’ll come back immediately after I retrieve it!” Li Dong said.

“I should be the one to go back! Eldest Brother still has to take care of my pregnant sister-in-law in the capital! I’m the most suitable candidate,” Li Tao said vehemently.

“You men are all very careless! The place where the money is kept must be very well hidden. What if you can’t find it! I think it’s better if I go back,” Li Juan said.
