1570 I Finally Found You
However, this method could only be used once. Qiao Mei would not allow anyone who saw her superpower to live. She would have to kill them to keep her secret.

“Are you sure you want to do this?” Xia He said worriedly.

“Yes, I’m sure. Let’s find a time to go out for a while. Get Luo Yu to arrange for more people to hide in the dark and block off all the exits in the surroundings. Let’s observe carefully for a few days and see if there are any abnormalities,” Qiao Mei said.

Xia He could not dissuade Qiao Mei and could only do as she was told. Luo Yu was fully focused during patrols and finally discovered something unusual.

“Qiao Yu would actually sneak out of the side door every night and go to the end of the alley. Then she’ll remove something from under a red brick. Luo Yu has already looked at the contents. It’s neither Morse code nor proper words. It seems to be a special language that these people developed to communicate among themselves,” Xia He said.

“I never expected them to be so well prepared,” Qiao Mei said.

Qiao Mei was not an immortal and she could not keep an eye on Qiao Yu 24 hours a day. She also needed to sleep and rest. Qiao Yu seemed to have picked up a lot of things after living somewhere else for a while. She was actually so wily now and completely different from before.

“Let’s put our plan in action tomorrow. You and I will go out and Mom will go and take care of Zhang Chao and Zhang Qin in the backyard,” Qiao Mei said.

“No! I don’t agree!” Li Gui’s voice came from outside.

Li Gui was outside the door when she heard what Qiao Mei said and she rushed into the room, saying, “How can you fool around with the children’s safety! This is too risky! I don’t agree with your plan of leaving the children alone at home!”

“But if we don’t do this, the children will always be in danger. Is it better like that?” Qiao Mei questioned.

She was the children’s mother and was concerned for them too, but she really had no other way to catch the mastermind. Yao Nian had already been doing his best to investigate what happened to Qiao Yu, but he could not find anything.

“Just wait a little longer! What if there’s another way out! Doesn’t Qiao Yu have a lover over there called… Su Yang! Get Luo Yu to bring him here! If someone keeps pestering Qiao Yu, she won’t have a chance to do anything to the children,” Xia He said agitatedly.

Qiao Mei felt that what Xia He said made sense, so she asked Yao Nian to spread the news about what happened. The next afternoon, Su Yang arrived in the capital and waited bitterly for a few days before Qiao Yu went out for a walk and bumped into him.

“I’ve finally found you! You actually come to the capital without telling me! You even tell other people that I touched you! Do you know what will happen to me if you say that!” Su Yang said fiercely as he grabbed Qiao Yu’s arm.

“Let go of me! I don’t even know you! Let go!” Qiao Yu struggled and yelled out.

She did not dare to cry out for help. There were police officers patrolling nearby and she did not have a permit. If she was discovered, she would not be able to continue staying in the capital.

“You don’t know me? The matter between the two of us spread like wildfire back then. Do you think everyone will believe what you say? Since you say that I touched you, then let’s go register our marriage! This way, I won’t pursue the matter! Do you know that I’ll have to go to jail if you say I did such things! If you marry me, then it’s no longer an offense!” Su Yang said.

“Pfft! I won’t marry you! In your dreams! Not in this lifetime!” Qiao Yu said agitatedly.

Just as the two of them were fighting, they were spotted by the patrolling police officers.

“Hey! What are you doing! Why are you bullying someone in broad daylight! How can a man hit a woman!” the police officer shouted.

Su Yang knew these two police officers. One was Brother Zhao and the other was Brother Sun. In the past, Su Yang often got into trouble and his brother, Su Liang, was a scoundrel who did all kinds of nasty things. These two brothers were notorious.

“Oh, it’s Brother Zhao and Brother Sun on duty today! I’m Su Yang! Don’t you remember me?” Su Yang said with a grin.

“You… Didn’t you leave the capital? Why are you back here?” Brother Zhao asked curiously.

“Sigh, I’m here because of my wife! It’s a lovers’ tiff. We’re getting married! She doesn’t want to go with me because she’s too shy!” Su Yang explained.
