“Alright, I understand.” After saying that, Luo Yu went out to gather information.

At moments like this, Qiao Mei missed Yao Nian very much. If he was here with her, she would be able to know all the information about the entire Country M like the back of her hand. When she had nothing to do, she could also listen to the gossip that he found out. She firmly believed that he would be able to do even better here, so it was a pity that he could not come here.

Or rather, Yao Nian did not want to come here at all. The life he wanted was to raise a few carrier pigeons and live in a house in the countryside. When he was free, he would drink tea and admire the flowers. His ultimate goal was to live a leisurely life. Being a private investigator in such a dangerous place like Country M could cost him his life at any moment.

Luo Yu only came back late at night. The news he brought back was very important. “Vicious Wolf” was very powerful, so powerful that they had already extended their reach into the government. They had planted their people in the government and these people even held fairly high positions.

This was the main reason why “Vicious Wolf” could gradually become the most powerful gang here.

In that case, it was no wonder that John could find them quickly. As long as John wanted the information, the identities of Qiao Mei and the others were no longer a mystery to him. These people were not people whom they could afford to offend.

Butler Xu knew the arms dealer in the black market. He had gone and bought all the weapons that Qiao Mei wanted. Since he wanted to buy a large number of guns and ammunition within a few hours, the price was 10% higher than usual. This did not matter to any of them at the moment.

Qiao Mei remembered that Alice had told her that if she wanted to have a job or run a business in Country M, having money was more important than following the rules and regulations. With money, she could do whatever she wanted here. She had already fulfilled this requirement, so all she needed now was a guide.

“Everyone, have a good rest. If the few of you are really afraid, you can go home and hide,” Qiao Mei said as she looked at Auntie Wang and the other women.

“I’m not leaving! 1 want to be with the children. How can there be no one to watch the children when all of you are talking outside? I’ve seen too many such things with my Old Xu. It’s fine, I’m not afraid!” Auntie Wang said firmly.

Auntie Cui and Auntie Zhang did not express their stance, but they behaved like they wanted to stay behind. Qiao Mei promised them that she would ask Luo Hui to stay with them throughout the session tomorrow to ensure their safety.

Late at night, Xia He came to Qiao Mei’s room to accompany her. Qiao Mei placed the gun under her pillow. If John’s men wanted to launch a surprise attack tonight, she would at least have the ability to protect herself.

It was quiet inside the room but there was suddenly a sound in the corridor. Qiao Mei woke up immediately and so did Xia He, who was sleeping beside her.

Xia He took her gun and said, “Someone’s in the corridor.”

“l heard it too. Don’t go out yet. Let’s see who that person is and where he came in from,” Qiao Mei whispered.

If the person had entered from the first floor, Luo Yu and Luo Hui would definitely have been alerted. They had not seen the two men yet, which meant that this person had entered from the second floor, or even from the roof.

Xia He and Qiao Mei quietly opened the door slightly to observe the figure in the corridor. After taking a closer look, they realized that it was Auntie Zhang who was sneaking around! What was she doing in the corridor in the middle of the night instead of sleeping in bed?

Xia He put down the gun in disdain. Just as she was about to call out to Auntie

Zhang, Qiao Mei covered her mouth and whispered, “Don’t alert the enemy yet. Let’s see what she wants to do,”

Auntie Zhang was carrying a huge backpack. From the size, it seemed to be stuffed full with things. Qiao Mei lowered her head. She tried to sense the memories of the potted plants by the window in Auntie Zhangs room. The bag contained all the valuable items that Auntie Zhang had hidden away during this period of time.

No wonder Auntie Wang had been complaining two days ago, She kept saying that the things at home seemed to disappear for no reason. When she went out to buy groceries, she brought 200 dollars with her and should have 80 dollars left when she came back. However, when she reached home, she realized that she only had 30 dollars left in her pocket.

Xia He had comforted Auntie Wang, saying that perhaps it was because it was too windy outside or because she had run into a very quick pickpocket. Now that they did not lack money at home, it was not a big deal to lose a little money once or twice. It was not as if she could fire these women due to such matters. She did not expect all the lost items to be inside Auntie Zhangs bag!

“Should we grab her?” Xia He asked.

“She won’t be able to escape. Luo Yu is waiting for her downstairs,” Qiao Mei said with a smile..
