“Then why does she have her eye on you? What I heard is that her sweetheart is a bum? Is the famous company president Mr. Fang of Sky City known as a bum nowadays?” Qiao Mei asked.

“I’m guessing that it’s Liang Jin who has forced her to come and look for me. Zhang Yao did try to pursue me a long time ago, but the whole thing lasted for less than a month. After that, she fell deeply in love with that bum and that was what caused the conflict between the Gao and Zhang families,” Xia Zhe explained.

Qiao Mei looked at Xia Zhe in shock. Da Dong tactfully raised the middle partition in the car, so that Xia Zhe and Qiao Mei could have some privacy in the backseat. The two of them had not seen each other for so long and they must have a lot to talk about.

“When did you start keeping tabs on the Gao family?” Qiao Mei asked Xia Zhe in surprise.

“After you told me those stories when we were in the capital, I’ve been searching for the Gao family. It was only when I came to this country that I realized that the Gao family and the Zhang family have a long-standing feud here. However, at that time, 1 was still a newbie here. I have to establish my presence first so that I can have a say in Sky City. Later on, when I heard about what happened to Gao Ming, 1 started to gather evidence against the Zhang family. It’s already at the stage when I can close in on them,” Xia Zhe explained.

“Oh 1 see. There’s something that I need you to help with,” Qiao Mei said.

Xia Zhe reached out and tapped the tip of Qiao Mei’s nose dotingly as he said,

“There’s no need to use the word help. You just have to tell me and I’ll do it.”

“What a glib tongue! If 1 want the stars in the sky, are you going to pluck them for me too?” Qiao Mei asked with a smile.

“Of course,” Xia Zhe replied seriously as he looked at Qiao Mei.

The car took them all the way to the back mountain behind the Gao family’s house. They sent Gao Ming back into the house through the secret passage and Gao Ming only dared to open his eyes when they reached the Gao family’s territory. He had almost exposed the fact that he was conscious when they ran into Zhang Yao at the airport.

Gao Lin looked at them confusedly and asked, “What happened? Did you encounter the Zhang family on the way? Who is this?”

“This is…” For a moment, Qiao Mei did not know how to introduce Xia Zhe. He still needed to hide his true identity in Sky City and it would cause trouble for the two of them if they said that they were husband and wife.

Xia Zhe immediately said, “Hello, Old Master Gao. I’m Fang Chen. I’ve heard a lot about you. It’s an honor to meet you today.”

“What! You’re Fang Chen!” Gao Ming widened his eyes and stared at Xia Zhe as if he had seen an immortal.

Gao Lin had also heard of Xia Zhe’s alter ego. In the entire Sky City, anyone who was active in the world of financial investment knew this name. This was an illegal immigrant who had started a company and listed it within one year and was very aggressive in the way he did business. This man was also very sharp and discerning and he did not waste his time with ordinary people.

Gao Ming could be considered a fanboy of Xia Zhe’s alter ego. He had thought of investing the remaining assets of the Gao family to make enough money to let the Gao family rise up again, but he did not have Xia Zhe’s capability. In the end, the Gao family continued to decline.

“So why is Mr. Fang here with Miss Pu at the Gao family’s house?” Gao Lin asked.

“I’m Miss Pu t s suitor,” Xia Zhe said calmly.

Qiao Mei’s ears turned red from embarrassment. She did not expect Xia Zhe to say such a thing so calmly. It was an eye-opener for Da Dong and the others though. They had always thought that their boss was a blockhead who did not know how to make a girl happy!

“Granduncle, he’s one of us. It’s fine,” Qiao Mei said by way of comfort.

Gao Lin looked at Fang Chen and nodded. Since Qiao Mei liked this man, he would let it be for the time being. Qiao Mei was Gao Tao’s sole remaining bloodline. Her future husband did not need to be an outstanding person, but he must be able to protect her well.

“Granduncle, the Zhang family has discovered that we’re sending Gao Ming away, but we can still think of other solutions.” Qiao Mei waved at Xia He and Xia He came over with Yin Yue and Yin Xing to send Gao Ming back to the room upstairs.

Gao Lin brought Qiao Mei and Xia Zhe to the basement. Gao Lin looked at Xia Zhe hesitantly. After all, they were doing something illegal here. If Fang Chen was indiscreet and made this matter known, the Gao family would be finished. “Has he said anything during this period of time?” Qiao Mei asked Gao Lin.

“He won’t say anything. I’ve tried every method,” Gao Lin said helplessly.

Qiao Mei looked at Xia Zhe, who immediately understood what she meant. He took the key to the basement door and walked towards the deepest part. Qiao Mei held Gao Lin’s arm and said, “Let’s go, Granduncle. We can leave this matter to him..
