Translator: Atlas Studios    Editor: Atlas Studios

Su Rui followed the directions given by the neighbors and arrived at Qiao Mei’s house. Auntie Wang and Auntie Cui were playing with Xia Fan and Xia Xing in the courtyard. The moment Su Rui saw Xia Fan, she could not stop staring at the child.

The resemblance was too much… How could there be such a close resemblance? This boy looked exactly like Fang Chen. No one would believe that this was not Fang Chen’s child.

However, why was Fang Chen’s child here? They were told that everyone on the mission was selected from the elite soldiers in the country? Could it be that Fang Chen had contacted his family and then brought his wife and children to Country M?

She must report this matter to her superiors! She could not let Fang Chen do something so outrageous!

Su Rui took many photos of the children and even of Qiao Mei’s house number. Just as she was focused on taking photos, Luo Yu noticed Su Rui’s abnormal behavior from where he was standing inside the house.

He walked out of the door and looked at Su Rui coldly. Su Rui grabbed the camera and fled in a hurry and he only saw a view of her back.

“Xiao Yu, why did you suddenly come out of the house? Did something happen?” Auntie Wang asked curiously.

“It’s nothing…” Luo Yu said as he looked into the distance.

It was possible that this person was a private investigator. Qiao Mei t s business had grown very big. In the beginning, Qiao Mei only wanted to have a monopoly on the food and drinks sold in the small town. She did not expect the foodstuff to become so popular and for the news to gradually spread elsewhere. At the moment, the foodstuff produced by Qiao Mei’s farm was very popular in the entire city.

Perhaps one of their competitors wanted to check on Qiao Mei t s family background and had hired a private investigator to do that. They had encountered similar situations before and Qiao Mei had paid off the investigators to keep her information private.

They could not be too careless about such matters. Back in the country, Xia Fan and Xia Xing had been the target of so many people. Luo Yu could still vividly remember the things that happened when they were babies. Now that they were not in the capital, they did not have that many guards around so they must nip any problems in the bud as early as possible.

“Qiao Mei, I saw a suspicious person at the door today. Female, about 28 years old and about 170 centimeters tall. She was using a camera to take photos of

Xia Fan and Xia Xing. I found out a little too late and she ran away after taking the photos.” Luo Yu made a phone call to Qiao Mei and reported the incident to her.

Qiao Mei immediately asked, “Do you have any other details? For example, what she was wearing.”

“What she was wearing… I think she was wearing a white sunhat, carrying a light yellow backpack and wearing an F-brand watch on her wrist,” Luo Yu said as he recalled carefully.

When Qiao Mei heard Luo Yu’s description, she immediately stood up to head home. She applied for leave from her teacher and said that she would be absent from classes the next two days. Fortunately, Qiao Mei’s results were quite good and her teacher knew that she could cope well, so her leave application was approved quickly.

She immediately drove home. Once she entered the house, she locked the door and drew the curtains. Although Auntie Wang and the others did not know what was happening, they knew that they just needed to follow Qiao Mei’s actions.

“Mama, what are you doing? Are we playing hide and seek?” Xia Fan sat on the floor and asked curiously.

“Yes, I want to play games with you! Can both of you go and hide? I’ll come around and look for you in a while!” Qiao Mei said to Xia Fan and Xia Xing with a smile.

Xia Fan pulled Xia Xing up and looked at Qiao Mei, saying, “Then Mama, you must remember to come and look for us! You have to count to 200! When you’re done counting, we’ll be done hiding.”

“Alright, go now.” Qiao Mei gestured with her eyes for Auntie Wang and Auntie Cui to follow the two children. Only Xia He and the Luo brothers were left in the living room.

Xia He asked softly, “What’s the matter? Why do you need to draw the curtains before you can speak?”

Qiao Mei was thinking about how to tell them about this matter since it would involve telling them about Xia Zhe’s mission in this country. However, Qiao Mei was worried that Su Rui would do something bad to them.

“Don’t bring the children out for the time being and don’t let them go near the window. You must not let them go out at all. If you need to run any errands, ask Auntie Wang and Auntie Cui to do it,” Qiao Mei said warily.

“Are there people who want to harm them? We have no grudges with anyone here, so why would anyone bully us? Is it John going back on his word?” Xia He asked.

Luo Yu had not told Xia He about what happened earlier, so he recounted the incident again. He was more detailed than when he spoke to Qiao Mei and he reported everything he saw clearly..
