The Xia family was soon alerted about the news of Xia Wen mobilizing another city’s criminal police department to rescue Qiao Mei. When Xia Mao and Xia Jun learned that Qiao Mei had been kidnapped, Xia Jun immediately gave Xia Wen a call.

“What’s going on? Isn’t Qiao Mei doing fine in Shen City? Why did she go missing in Hu City!” Xia Jun said.

“Grandfather, I’ll explain this to you when I get back. I’m going to Hu City to help in the search for Qiao Mei now,” Xia Wen said anxiously.

“Go ahead. You must bring Qiao Mei back safely. If the kidnappers want money,just give it to them. We must keep them calm. Don’t let them hurt Qiao Mei! Qiao Mei’s safety must be our top priority!” Xia Jun instructed.

“Yes, I understand.” Xia Wen hung up the phone after saying that. There were many people rushing to Hu City at the same time. Luo Yu was already working very closely with the police in Hu City.

Qiao Mei, the scar-faced man and his guys kept walking along the main road. Along the way, Qiao Mei used the vines to leave markings behind. She believed that Luo Yu would definitely come with a team to rescue her. The group had walked for less than half an hour when Qiao Mei stopped and shouted, “I’m tired! I can’t walk anymore! Go and get a car!”

“Where can I find a car in the wilderness?” the scar-faced man said angrily.

“I don’t care! I need a ride! Think of a way to find a car! Do you want me to die of fatigue?” Qiao Mei said.

The scar-faced man looked at the underling behind him and said, “You! Carry her on your back!”

“No way! I don’t want to be carried! I need a ride! If you can’t find a car, I won’t leave this place!” Qiao Mei said angrily.

At this moment, they could see a big bus coming down the road from a distance. This was the only means of transportation on this road. Qiao Mei immediately pointed at the bus and said to the scar-faced man, “I want to get on that bus! It should be able to get us to where we’re going!”

The underlings took a look at the scar-faced man and went ahead to stop the bus. After that, the whole group boarded the bus in a rowdy manner, making the driver and the passengers so scared that they did not dare to move an inch.

“Drive off now! You’re not allowed to stop until I say so!” the scar-faced man shouted as he pointed a stick at the driver.

The driver drove shakily. The other passengers lowered their heads and did not dare to look at the scar-faced man. They had heard about carjackers being active in this area, but they thought these were just stories made up by the old folks. Those tales did not sound very credible at all. They certainly did not expect to bump into carjackers today!

Since the group of men had already boarded the bus, they did not want to leave empty-handed. The scar-faced man patted his underling’s shoulder and said, “Go! Take all their money.”

All the passengers were so scared that they handed over all their valuables in order to stay safe. Only one old man refused to hand over his bag. The underling pointed at the old man and said, “Hey! Hand over all your valuables! Don’t force me to beat you up!”

“I  I don’t have any valuables!” the old man said fearfully.

“If you don’t have any valuables, then why are you hugging your bag so tightly? Hand it over now!” the underling said.

The old man grabbed his bag tightly and said, “There’s really nothing inside! It’s just some clothes! And food!”

“Hey! I’m hungry and I need food! Give me the food!” Qiao Mei shouted at the old man.

“What nonsense are you spouting! You’re always either thirsty or hungry along the way! Why are you so troublesome!” the scar-faced man said unhappily.

“Even if you’re riding a donkey, you also need to feed it! I’m a human being! Why can’t I eat and drink! If you starve me to death, you won’t be able to get a single cent!” Qiao Mei said overbearingly.

“Fine! Quick! Hand over the food!” the scar-faced man said impatiently.

The old man seemed to have seen his lifesaver. He immediately took out two pancakes from his bag and looked at Qiao Mei gratefully. Qiao Mei smiled and nodded to him.

“Do you want some?” Qiao Mei asked the scar-faced man as she started to eat a pancake.

“No!” the scar-faced man said in a fit of pique.

“Remember what you say! You say you don’t want any, it’s not that I haven’t set aside any for you!” After saying that, Qiao Mei started eating the pancakes with great enjoyment, making the scar-faced man and his underlings feel very hungry. Anyone looking on would think that the pancakes in Qiao Mei’s hands must be very delicious!

However, one needed to have a sense of pride. The scar-faced man had already rejected Qiao Mei’s offer just now. It would be a slap on his own face if he asked the passengers in the bus for food now.

What else can I do! What tricks can I have!” Qiao Mei said.

The scar-faced man forcefully pulled Qiao Mei out from the front passenger seat and the group walked slowly along the suburban road. They were still four kilometers away from the abandoned warehouse and would definitely be able to reach it in an hour.

Luo Yu went to many places which Gao Lin had visited over the past few days. All the people at those places said that they had not seen Gao Lin for the past two days. Even the remaining Gao family’s relatives living in Hu City did not know where Gao Lin had gone.
