“What do you mean… Why is my grandson finished? Explain yourself clearly!” Shao Zhuang asked agitatedly.

“While we still don’t know the exact amount of money involved in this case, this kind of crime is punishable by the death penalty. Your eldest daughter used Xia Xing’s name to resell tobacco. At most, she will be considered an accomplice. But in the future, your grandson will be known as… the son of a death row criminal,” Qiao Mei explained with a very stern expression.

The truth was that this matter was not that serious at all. Qiao Mei was just spouting nonsense. She just wanted the Shao family to turn against each other and tell them the truth.

“What exactly have you done! How much money did you take! Hurry up and turn yourself in at the police station! Don’t implicate my grandson!” Shao Zhuang rushed to Shao Le and slapped her forcefully as he roared at her.

“Hahaha! I’ve already sold everything! So what! I’ve sold it all! And I’ve already spent the money!” Shao Le said as she lay on the ground and laughed crazily.

Shao Yin dug out everything from the bag and Qiao Mei immediately saw the tabulation note. It clearly recorded the amount of tobacco sold.

The original cost was 800,000 dollars, but the gold bars in front of them were only worth around 400,000 dollars. It seemed that Shao Le had sold the tobacco at half price to get rid of it quickly.

“How many transactions have you done?” Qiao Mei asked as she held up the note.

“It’s my first time,” Shao Le replied quickly.

“Who are you kidding! How can this be the first time! Quickly tell us the truth! How many times have you done this!” Shao Yin said anxiously.

“I can’t remember. Anyway, I’ve sold a lot. I never have to meet the contact person, so I don’t know who he is,” Shao Le said honestly.

“What should we do about this matter?” Shao Yin asked Xia Wen. She was currently in a state of panic and did not know how to deal with any of this. The only people she trusted now were Xia Wen and Qiao Mei.

Xia Wen looked at Qiao Mei, who understood what he meant. She looked at Shao Le and said, “Continue with what you’ve been doing.”

“What do you mean! Are you trying to harm Xia Xing too!” Shao Yin said agitatedly.

Xia He quickly pulled her to the side and said, “Calm down. There must be a reason for them to do this.”

“Anyone who can buy up such a big amount of tobacco must have a very powerful background and this person must be targeting the Xia family. If we don’t eliminate the root of the problem, there will definitely be a bigger problem down the road,” Xia Wen said with a frown.

“We need to find an opportunity,” Qiao Mei said as she lowered her head and pondered.

Shao Yin did not have the patience to listen to their analysis. She hauled Shao Le up from the ground and said, “Let’s bring her back first! We’ll talk about it after we go back! Lock her up first! We can’t let her leave just like that! If she runs off, Xia Xing will be finished!”

Everyone agreed with Shao Yin. If they stayed in the Shao family’s house for too long, it would definitely attract attention. Moreover, it would be too conspicuous for them to come over and then bring someone away in a grand manner.

The Xia family members decided to go off first. Shao Yin would then bring Shao Le back to Qiao Mei’s house at night.

On the way back, Xia He looked at Qiao Mei curiously and asked, “How did you know that she had those things in her bag? You already knew about this?”

“I’m not an immortal, how would I know? It’s just that I have very good hearing. Shao Yin bumped into the bag earlier and I could hear the sound of the gold bars knocking against each other. That’s why I was so sure,” Qiao Mei said.

Xia Wen laughed and said, “It’s fortunate that you didn’t go down the crooked path. With your ears, you can open any safe. You’ll be a master thief!”

“Hahahaha!” Xia Wen’s words made everyone in the car laugh loudly. Qiao Mei was also glad that she was a good person. If she really had any evil intentions, then the entire world’s money would be hers!

Everyone returned to the house. Shao Yin brought Shao Le over at night, already tied up. All of them admired Shao Yin’s efficiency. They had to admit that Shao Yin still loved Xia Xing very much. The problem was her scheming mind.

“There’s no other way in front of you. Write down the entire process of how you carry out the transaction word for word. Don’t miss out any details,” Qiao Mei said as she placed pen and paper in front of Shao Le.

Shao Le started crying out of fear. With everyone staring at her, she could not write anything at all. She was really too nervous.

Shao Yin was so anxious that she went forward and gave Shao Le a hard kick as she scolded, “You cry and cry and cry! You only know how to cry! Hurry up and write it down! Otherwise when this whole issue is found out, what will happen to my husband and my son! Do you have that many lives to compensate me for it!”

“I… I really can’t remember clearly anymore…” Shao Le said in a panic.

Qiao Mei sighed and said, “Let’s leave it at that for tonight. She won’t be able to tell us anything right now.”
