1158 News of the Death
Cheng Gu wanted to see who else would be so blind as to block his way!

Anyone who got in his way would not have an easy time!

Everyone in the Xia family must be buried together with his dead brothers! Even after the Xia family members died, he wanted to chop off their heads and make the heads into incense burners to be placed in front of the graves of his dead brothers. Even in hell, they must suffer the torture of his brothers!

Otherwise, Cheng Gu really could not let it go!

Cheng Gu originally wanted to make Xia Zhe spend the rest of his life in a wheelchair, but he had changed his mind. He wanted to chop off Xia Zhe’s head and make it into his new footrest! He wanted Xia Zhe to be stomped on by his feet day and night!

Xia Zhe received a call from his family before the end of his mission. The military did not allow phone calls unless it was absolutely necessary. When he checked the date, he noted that it was almost time for Qiao Mei to give birth. Could it be that the children had arrived?

He ran to the military phone excitedly and said with a smile, “Report! This is Xia Zhe! What instructions do you have for me?”

“I’m your father…” Before Xia Mao could say anything, he was interrupted by Xia Zhe’s excited voice.

“Father! Has Qiao Mei given birth! How’s Qiao Mei? Is Qiao Mei in good health? Did she suffer from giving birth? Father, tell me, did Qiao Mei suffer?” Xia Zhe only asked about Qiao Mei and did not ask about the health of his children at all. He only had eyes for Qiao Mei.

 

This made it even more difficult for Xia Mao to lie to Xia Zhe, but for the sake of the plan, he had no choice but to do it.
“Xiao Zhe, hear me out. Qiao Mei… she’s gone. She gave birth to two children, a boy and a girl, and they haven’t been named yet. Qiao Mei’s wish is for the two grandfathers to come up with a name each. Also, Qiao Mei’s grandfather has fallen ill and your grandfather’s health has worsened. They’re both in the hospital, but don’t worry too much…” Xia Mao listed down all the different things which happened.

Xia Zhe only heard the first few sentences but not the rest.

Qiao Mei was gone… Where did Qiao Mei go? Did she go back to her hometown? In what sense was she “gone”? He had not returned home yet, so why did Qiao Mei leave?

“Father… Qiao Mei… Qiao Mei, she…” Xia Zhe was so nervous that he could not speak. His throat felt like it was being strangled and it was especially difficult for him to breathe.

“Yes… You have to be mentally prepared. Qiao Mei, she… she has left this world. The reason for this phone call is to ask you to come back and see her for… one last time.” In the end, Xia Mao still tried to deliver the message to Xia Zhe in a vague way. He did not want to use the word “dead” as it was too cruel and he could not bring himself to say it.

Xia Zhe did not get overwhelmed by his sorrow. His intuition told him that this matter was not so simple. Xia Fang had frequently asked Xia Mao to tell him about the results of Qiao Mei’s prenatal examinations and the development progress of the two children. The results had been very good all this while.

Why would something go wrong now? Something else must have happened. Xia Mao was not telling him the truth and he would never believe that Qiao Mei was already dead. Even if she was dead, he must see it with his own eyes. He must see her, be it dead or alive.

“Is Qiao Mei’s death caused by a medical issue or an accident?” Xia Zhe asked with a trembling voice.

“It’s an accident. I’ve already put up a request with your superior for your transfer. Someone else will cover your work for a period of time. The children are still young and they need their father to be around. They can’t be without their father after losing their mother. You should stay in the capital until the children grow up,” Xia Mao said.

Xia Mao would not bear to let such an outstanding kid languish in the capital. It would be like keeping him in a cage. Xia Zhe had a bright future ahead of him and he was meant for bigger and better things. Xia Mao was only putting on an act. Only by putting on such an act would others believe that something had really happened to the Xia family.

It would just be hard on Xia Zhe to have to grieve for a period of time. However, it was probably a good thing to let him experience the feeling of losing Qiao Mei. In the future, he would cherish and love Qiao Mei even more and this experience would also help the young couple maintain a loving and harmonious relationship.

“Yes, I understand. I’ll set off immediately,” Xia Zhe said.
