1642 Snatching Back the Children
This woman was definitely not an ordinary person and the people standing behind her were even more extraordinary. From the way they stood, they should be from the army. Why would these people come and look for him? He had not done anything to them.

“Why is it that I don’t know about this? What are you talking about?” Brother Dao said.

“Brother Dao, all our time is very precious. I’ll triple the amount that your buyer offers to pay!” Qiao Mei said generously.

Xia Yan only gave them a deposit of 1,000 dollars. They were told that someone else would give them 5,000 dollars after the deed was done. It was the only reason why they were willing to take on this job. Three times that amount would work out to 15,000 dollars.

“Really?” Brother Dao asked suspiciously.

“I mean what I say! Brother Dao, if you don’t believe me, I can sign the contract in blood for you!” Qiao Mei said.

Qiao Mei did not know the rules in these people’s world. Fortunately, she had read many novels in her other life and this was mentioned in those novels. She did not know if it was real or not.

“There’s no need to sign in blood. We can trust you. For you to say such things, it means that you’re not an ordinary woman. I like that!” Brother Dao said loudly.

“In that case, does that mean that Brother Dao agrees to this deal?” Qiao Mei asked.

“I didn’t say that! Sister, you can only blame yourself for coming too late. We can’t afford to offend the person who bought those two children. No matter how much money we can get, we won’t dare to do it. If you want, I’ll get you another pair of children, alright?” Brother Dao said.

Someone they could not afford to offend? The only people anyone could not afford to offend in the capital were those in the political and military fields. They would not be afraid of people in the business world at all. However, solely based on this information, Qiao Mei would not be able to find out who the real mastermind was. This was because the Xia family had offended too many people due to the position they took.

“I only want this pair. Brother Dao, I’ll pay five times the price! Give them to me!” Qiao Mei said as she stretched out all her fingers.

Brother Dao shook his head. He could not do it even if Qiao Mei talked until she was blue in the face. If he gave the children to someone else just because they offered a higher price, he would not be able to survive in his world anymore.

“Then 10 times!” Qiao Mei continued to shout.

Sister-in-law Dao immediately rushed out of the house and whispered into Brother Dao’s ear, “That’s 50,000 dollars! Coupled with the money we earned this time round, it’s enough for everyone to live out the rest of their lives!”

Brother Dao also looked a little tempted. However, no matter how much money he was offered, he did not dare to offend the buyer of these two children.

“Sister, stop talking. I won’t do this deal! Because you’re so forthright, I’ll let all of you leave without any harm. If there are any children you like in the future, then we can work together,” Brother Dao said.

“Brother Dao, don’t do this the hard way! 20 times! This is the maximum,” Qiao Mei said as she pointed at Brother Dao.

Actually, Qiao Mei could afford to give him 100 times the amount, but she could not show off her wealth too much. In this era, it was already a big deal to be able to give a bounty of 100,000 dollars for two children.

“Little girl, I’ve already shown you a lot of respect! Why do you insist on getting those two children? Don’t tell me you’re related to them!” Brother Dao looked at Qiao Mei and the others and questioned them.

Xia He slowly approached Qiao Mei, ready to protect her at any time. Qiao Mei was also a little flustered and did not know what to do. If she admitted that it was true, Xia Fan and Xia Xing would be in an even more dangerous situation.

“Brother Dao, I’m just anxious to have a son. You should understand my feelings!” Qiao Mei said as she softened her attitude.

“Sister, no matter how much you want a son, you can’t make things difficult for me! If you want, I’ll just get another child for you. Why do you insist on wanting these two?” Brother Dao said warily.

Suddenly, they heard the sound of two children crying inside the house. Qiao Mei could not take it anymore and pointed at Brother Dao as she shouted, “Attack!”

Chi Ze rushed to the front and used his size to his advantage, pushing down Brother Dao and Ah Long and holding them down under him. The others rushed forward and pressed the rest of the people to the ground. Xia He also ran to the front and held on to Sister-in-law Dao fiercely.

Qiao Mei took this opportunity to rush into the house and pick up the two children before running away. She did not know where to go and her mind was blank as she kept running forward.
