1574 Prodigy
Xia Fan pouted unhappily. A moment ago, he was still all smiles, but now he was frowning. This child was only born a few months ago. Could he understand what the adults were saying?

Sister Feng had taken the time to teach Qiao Mei a lot of things about how to bring up a child and what parents should do at every stage of a child’s life.

At this age, children could only recognize people they saw every day. They only knew when they were hungry and when they were sleepy. Sometimes, they did not even know that they were hungry. They only knew that they were not feeling well and would cry to express the discomfort.

“You… you allowed yourself to be taken away on purpose?” Qiao Mei asked as she stared at Xia Fan.

Xia Fan nodded happily. The look in his eyes seemed to be saying, “Praise me, Mom”. Qiao Mei was completely dumbfounded. She did not expect this child to be a prodigy! In that case, Xia Xing probably could also understand what the adults were saying.

“If you can understand me, then nod your head,” Qiao Mei said as she looked at Xia Fan expectantly.

Xia Fan nodded seriously. Only then could Qiao Mei confirm that these two children could understand what the adults said.

She had thought that since these two children absorbed some energy from her, they would turn out a little smarter than the other children. She did not expect them to mature so fast!

This also gave Qiao Mei a new perspective on the future development of the two children. Perhaps from now on, she should let them start learning the kindergarten curriculum and then find an elementary school teacher to teach the children at home. She must not delay their development.

When the children were 10 years old, they should be able to self-study calculus at home… Qiao Mei thought that it sounded a little crazy. She originally only wanted the two children to grow up healthy and happy and she had never thought of forcing them to study. However, in the face of the current situation, Qiao Mei was more worried that she would waste the children’s talents and hold them back from their fullest potential.

“Sigh… you’re really worrying. Let’s go home.” Qiao Mei carried Xia Fan and walked home, completely forgetting about Qiao Yu. She even forgot that there was someone else with her.

Xia He still felt angry and continued to give Qiao Yu a few more hard kicks. She only stopped when Qiao Yu could not straighten her back anymore and asked the guards to take her away and lock her up.

If it was any other ordinary family, they would have called the police at this point and asked them to deal with Qiao Yu and the two strangers. However, Xia Fan was a child of the Xia family. It was not a small matter for someone to kidnap a member of the Xia family.

If the culprit used the kidnapping to coerce the Xia family into stealing state secrets, it would be a huge loss to the country. The Xia family had done their best for the country, so the country must protect the safety of the Xia family members well.

Xia Mao brought all the people involved to the interrogation room and placed them under the military’s close surveillance. When Xia Xiu heard about the incident, she immediately rushed back. She was one of the best interrogators in the country and she was worried about leaving this matter in the hands of others. She must interrogate them herself.

When Xia Zhe heard about this, he also rushed back immediately overnight. When he reached home, he hugged the two children tightly and refused to let go. He had one child in each arm and did not even care when his arms were sore.

“Why… why are you back all of a sudden?” Qiao Mei asked guiltily as she sat opposite Xia Zhe.

Xia Zhe wanted to ignore Qiao Mei, but he also cared for her a lot. Since he was unable to speak harshly to her, he decided not to say anything and just glared at her from time to time.

Qiao Mei did not blame Xia Zhe. If the person who did this was Xia Zhe, Qiao Mei might even skin him alive by now! She might even ask for a divorce!

“Hey… don’t be angry… I didn’t do it on purpose. Besides, I took precautions to make sure that the children are safe. I definitely won’t do this again! I promise that there won’t be a next time!” Qiao Mei said firmly.

Xia Zhe did not believe Qiao Mei’s nonsense. He definitely could not give in so quickly. He must let Qiao Mei learn her lesson so that she would not dare to do such crazy things in the future.

It was really too scary! She was simply lawless!

The interrogation yielded results very quickly. Qiao Yu was frightened by all the threats that she told them about everything that happened. However, she did not mention the Du family or anything related to the He family.

The Du family did everything flawlessly and meticulously. How could they let Qiao Yu see the Du family members? Even when Qiao Yu first arrived in the capital to meet them, the house she saw was a place they rented at the last minute.

“Are there any other clues?” Xia Mao asked with a frown as he looked at the interrogation records in front of him.
