Chapter 1930: An Accident

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

The next morning, Qiao Mei could not get out of bed as usual. She felt as if she had been beaten up badly and felt extremely sore all over. Xia Zhe had a meeting at the office and needed to go in and deal with it, so she was at home alone. Since she had nothing to do, she ran downstairs to look for the bodyguards.

“Which one of you is the best marksman?” Qiao Mei asked curiously.

Xia Zhe had already told them to take Miss Pu e s instructions as his instructions and that they had to diligently give her everything she asked for. Coupled with the food that she made for them yesterday, they would do anything for her!

“It’s me,” Da Dong said proudly as he stepped forward.

“Shoo, shoo, shoo! Miss Pu, don’t listen to his nonsense! I’m the best marksman here!” Da Nan said as he looked at Da Dong in disdain.

“Then… Can you show me how to hit the target?” Qiao Mei asked.

Qiao Mei could probably hit the target 60% of the time, but she always felt that the posture she took was a little uncomfortable. She had learned from Xia He for a period of time before she started school, but had not practiced for a long time and her skills were already rusty. She wanted to see how a truly well-trained person held a gun.

“This… I’m afraid we have to discuss this with the boss,” Da Nan said worriedly.

“It’s alright! Your boss listens to me! You don’t have to shoot! Just show me!” Qiao Mei said.

“Alright then!” Da Nan quickly got into a standard shooting posture and Qiao Mei looked at him earnestly. She immediately knew all the mistakes she had made previously. It looked like she might be able to vastly improve her shooting in the future.

“Thank you! I’ll cook delicious food for you tonight!” Qiao Mei said happily.

“Really? More food for us! What are we eating tonight!” Da Dong asked excitedly.

“Why don’t you think of something? What do you want to eat?” Qiao Mei said.

“Braised fish! The boss always says that braised fish is the most delicious dish, but we’ve never eaten it before. I wonder if Miss Pu knows how to make it?” Da Nan said embarrassedly.

Qiao Mei smiled. Braised fish was her specialty and it was also the dish which Qiao Qiang had made for Xia Zhe when the couple first met.

“No problem! It’s settled then! You guys go to the city to buy groceries!” After saying that, Qiao Mei returned upstairs to wait for Xia Zhe to come home.

Xia Zhe came back very late today and brought back some very unfortunate news. One of their intelligence agents had died. Yang Tian’s father, Yang Jiao, discovered the identity of the intelligence agent, so he brought him back to the Yang family villa and tortured him to death. Until the moment of his death, the intelligence agent did not reveal anything.

Yang Jiao had brought his other children to Sky City some time ago and chased Yang Tian back to East City. It looked like Yang Jiao wanted to expand his family’s influence into Sky City.

The Yang family had many sons, but Yang Jiao liked his second son, Yang Jiu, the most. This son was very capable and had a talent for business since he was young. The entire Yang family’s fortune was actually in Yang Jiu’s hands. This time round, Yang Jiao had presumably brought Yang Jiu to Sky City to open up the market for the family.

Yang Jiao also had a very beloved daughter named Yang Meng. She was the child whom Yang Jiao had with a beautiful blonde with blue eyes. She was his other sons’ half- sister and all her older brothers doted on her very much. She had inherited her mother’s beauty and Yang Jiao doted on this daughter the most.

After Yang Meng came to Sky City, she had nothing to do and all she did was pester Xia Zhe every day. Whenever she was free, she would go and sit inside Xia Zhe’s office. Whenever she saw Xia Zhe, she would pounce on him enthusiastically. As Xia Zhe needed to show some respect to Yang Jiao, he could not reject Yang Meng directly.

Jiang Ting was now in Sky City and her identity was Xia Zhe’s secretary. Sometimes, when she saw Yang Meng, she would feel helpless. She had thought that she would be the one who needed to sacrifice her body for the mission. She did not expect Xia Zhe to be the one instead.

Xia Zhe stood in front of Qiao Mei, reeking of perfume. She frowned slightly and said, “I’ve already filled the bathtub for you. Go take a shower first. Put your clothes in the washing machine after you change out of them.”

“Alright,” Xia Zhe said in a gentle tone.

Qiao Mei knew that something big must have happened today. Otherwise, Xia Zhe would not look so dejected. Without saying anything, she put together some food on a tray and placed it in the study. She would let him eat upstairs later and leave the rest of the dishes to the bodyguards..
