He Ning went ahead and ordered a few more dishes. Qiao Mei did not speak during this period of time. She knew that He Ning had a habit of waiting for all the dishes to be served before any discussion.

After the waiter placed all the dishes on the table, He Ning pointed at them and said, “Please help yourselves.”

Wu Duo and the others remained motionless and did not dare to pick up their chopsticks. Qiao Mei picked up her chopsticks and said, “You guys can go ahead and eat. There’s no need to worry about him.”

The few of them wolfed down the food without any care for their image. This was the first time they had seen such a sumptuous banquet. He Ning picked up his chopsticks, but then put them back down. He rarely ate food prepared outside and particularly did not eat anything that was already touched by others.

Qiao Mei knew his temper and could not be bothered with him. After eating and drinking her fill, she asked, “Tell me about how my results will disappear.”

“l only managed to find out that someone wants to burn your examination papers tonight. It’s not just yours, but all the papers for the entire school. All the candidates from your school will find their results gone,” He Ning said.

The other people at the table widened their eyes to hear that. To them, this matter was actually not that serious. Their results were ranked at the top in the capital. As long as their teacher vouched for them and they took the examination again, they would still be able to successfully enter Capital University or Huatian University.

However, it was different for the rest of the students. They were not so outstanding or famous and they only wanted to get into an ordinary university. If their results were destroyed, they would have to wait to retake the examination next year.

However, no one knew what would happen next year! Who could say for sure what next year’s policy would be and if there would be any changes. Why should people who already qualified for university this year be disqualified for nothing?

“Who is that person?”

“I’ve already told you enough. What can you give me in return? I can’t just tell you everything I know,” He Ning said.

“A bottle of medicinal wine!” Qiao Mei said.

“Deal!” He Ning agreed readily.

Qiao Mei looked at He Ning suspiciously. There was something fishy about the fact that He Ning did not even bargain with her this time. Could it be that there was something else going on? Perhaps He Ning had done something wrong against her or that he had set up a trap within this matter.

“Hey, hey, hey! You should not think so badly of others. Can’t it be that 1 just want to help you?” He Ning looked at Qiao Mei in disdain.

“Sure! Then tell me who the perpetrator is,” Qiao Mei asked expectantly.

“The person is so near yet so far. That’s all I can say. As for who it is, you can investigate it yourself,” He Ning said meaningfully.

“I’ll arrange for someone to send the medicinal wine to your house.” After saying that, Qiao Mei left the restaurant with Wu Duo and the others. Even if He Ning came right out and told her who the culprit was, Qiao Mei would not believe him. The things that He Ning said were 30% true and 70% false. Most of what he said could not be trusted.

Usually, when something like this happened in the family, she would look for

Xia Wen. However, now that the entire family was focused on looking for Xia He, she did not want to cause trouble for him at this time. Qiao Mei asked the chauffeur to send her back to the courtyard house. The only person who could help her now was Xia Jun.

“Grandfather! Grandfather, I have bad news! Something serious has happened!” Qiao Mei shouted as she hurriedly ran to the backyard house.

Both Xia Jun and Qiao Qiang came out of their rooms and said in unison, “Grandfather is here! What’s wrong?”

After saying that, the two of them looked at each other in disdain. Xia Jun said unhappily, “Mei Mei is calling me. Why did you come out?”

“What a joke! I’m her biological grandfather! How can you be her grandfather!” Qiao Qiang argued.

“Eh, let’s talk about these things in the future! Grandfather, someone wants to burn my college entrance examination papers! Not only that, that person intends to burn all the examination papers from my school!” Qiao Mei said anxiously.

“What! How can this be! I’ll get someone to investigate this matter now! Wait at home!” After saying that, Xia Jun told the chauffeur to send him to the military headquarters in the capital. He wanted to send a team out to guard all the examination papers. In the wee hours of the morning, Xia Jun’s subordinates successfully caught the culprit red-handed and brought the person back to the military district to be detained for interrogation.

Qiao Mei also sent news to Yao Nian. The next morning, Qiao Mei received a message from Yao Nian via his carrier pigeon. However, when she looked at the message, she was dazed for a long time.

Qiao Qiang snatched the piece of paper from Qiao Mei’s hand to read the message and then muttered, “Zhou Hua? How is that possible?”
