After Transmigrating, The Fat Wife Made A Comeback!

Chapter 469: Tricky Matter

Xia Zhe brought over a stool and sat opposite the three of them. Qiao Mei poked Xia Fang and whispered, “Aunt… I don’t dare to say…”

Xia Fang sighed. She really could not count on either of these two kids. It was better for her to do it herself.

“Xiao Zhe, I shouldn’t be worried about this, but I still want to ask how the matter with the He family is going?” Xia Fang asked.

“It’s a little tricky, but elder brother and father are almost done with it. We still have to rely on elder brother to do the rest,” Xia Zhe said honestly.

Now that the three brothers of the He family had all been arrested, many people who had received the He family’s kindness in the past had jumped out to obstruct the Xia family. These people might not be doing all these to repay the kindness, but they felt that they were all in the same boat and were afraid that the He family would implicate them when things become serious.

They could only protect their own wealth and status by protecting He Ning.

As for those families who had enmity with the He family, they could not help much. This group of people had no power or influence to help much, so it was obviously not so easy to completely defeat He Ning on their end.

Xia Fang nodded and said, “Then let’s talk about other things related to the He family now…”

Xia Fang passed the agreements to Xia Zhe and told him everything in detail, not missing a single word.

Qiao Mei lowered her head guiltily and did not dare to look directly at Xia Zhe. She could already clearly feel Xia Zhe staring straight at her.

Xia Zhe gripped the agreements tightly. He had been careless and did not expect He Mei to target Qiao Mei.

“Are you treating our children as child’s play?” Xia Zhe said as he stared at Qiao Mei.

Qiao Mei looked up immediately and said, “No! I don’t think that way!”

“Younger brother, you’ve misunderstood Qiao Mei. That’s not what she means. The He family is the one who comes looking for trouble first. We’re just trying our best to protect ourselves,” Xia He also helped to explain.

Xia Zhe looked at the words written on the paper, describing things about harming Qiao Mei and his children, and about killing Qiao Mei. He could not take it anymore and the veins on his neck bulged as his gaze became fiercer.

Qiao Mei hurriedly went forward to hold Xia Zhe’s hand and said, “I’m still here. I’ll protect our children well!”

When Xia Zhe saw Qiao Mei, he came back to his senses and his gaze softened.

“The He family is deliberately trying to harm you now. I think I’ll get our father to arrange for someone to protect you,” Xia Zhe said.

“It’s fine. Let’s not tell father and elder brother about this first. We just found out about He Mei’s plan and don’t want to alert the enemy. We’re telling you now so that we can discuss with you how to lure He Mei into a trap,” Qiao Mei explained patiently.

Xia Zhe could not think of any good ideas at the moment. All he could think of now was to go back to his work and make sure that He Ning would never be able to make a comeback. This way, no one would be able to hurt Qiao Mei ever again.

The reason why He Mei could be so arrogant was because of He Ning. As soon as He Ning was eliminated, the He family would not have a good ending.

“Then what do you plan to do?” Xia Zhe asked.

“We haven’t come to a conclusion yet. We still need to find a warehouse nearby,” Xia He said.

Xia Zhe shook his head and said, “The He family has businesses all over the capital. They’re basically very familiar with all the warehouses in the capital. Even if we manage to find a suitable warehouse, we can’t guarantee that no one will inform them.”

Most of the Xia family members were in politics and in the military. They did not have much contact with the merchants in the business world.

For the past five generations, the He family had been in business. They owned and ran all kinds of shops, both big and small. If the Xia family wanted to buy or sell something in the market, the He family would definitely be able to discover it as long as they paid attention.

“Then only the abandoned rubbish dump in the suburbs of the capital can be of use now,” Xia He said.

“That place is very close to He Ning’s house. It’s inevitable that He Ning’s men will be in the vicinity. It’s not very safe there either,” Xia Zhe said.

After thinking about it, the best choice now was to use the plan of jumping into the lake.

“As far as I know, there are very few people at the lake at around 7 a.m. At that time, the elderly folks around the area would have all gone out to buy groceries. They would usually only go for a walk in the park around 8 a.m.,” Xia He said.

She only needed to go and ask Grandpa Zhou about these things. He knew best when there would be many people in the park and when there would be fewer people.
