This matter caused a huge commotion and the media scrambled to report it. The reporters from the television stations all squatted outside the ward and waited for more news, worried that they would miss out on important announcements. It was rare to see such a big case of attempted murder! In particular, this matter was related to the Xia family!

All the Huang family members had been poisoned, except for Tan Jing. Moreover, the owner of the pesticide shop near the capital confirmed that Tan Jing had patronized his shop many times.

The Huang family members did not lodge a report against Tan Jing immediately. They knew that even if Tan Jing was punished, it would not cure them. They would only have a chance of survival if they could get the medicinal wine from the Xia family.

"You... you must be Xia Wen," You Yu said shakily as she walked up to Xia Wen.

Xia Wen halted his conversation with Zou Ming. He looked at You Yu and nodded, saying, "Yes I am. What's the matter?"

"My husband is very sick and he can't come and look for you himself. Our family wants to have a chat with both you and Qiao Mei and treat the two of you to a meal! We're all old acquaintances and our entire family wants to thank you for taking care of us!" You Yu said.

Zou Ming left silently in a tactful manner. The Xia family did not help much in this matter and Qiao Mei did not even do anything. Although the Xia family and the Huang family were long- time acquaintances, they only knew each other by sight and did not have much of a

relationship. The reasons which You Yu gave were all very far-fetched. It looked like this meal was meant to be an ambush.

"I still have to go back and discuss this with my family. You can contact my secretary. He'll liaise with you on the appointment date." Xia Wen left after saying that.

You Yu looked at Xia Wen's back view and spat on the floor, saying, "You asshole! Why are you acting like some bigshot! Do you think you're that important! Pfft! When our entire family regains our health, I'll give you a hard time!"

Xia Wen drove back to Qiao Mei's house and saw her with a worried expression on her face. Although Tan Jing was now considered a key suspect and even if the Huang family came out to testify, it could only mean that Tan Jing did not have an alibi for that period of time. There was still no substantive witness who personally saw Tan Jing using the poison. There was not enough physical evidence now. The case could only be definitively closed if they could find the bottle which Tan Jing used to contain the pesticide.

However, Tan Jing would have long destroyed all these things. It would be impossible to find any evidence even if the police dug three feet into the ground. She did not leave with zero knowledge after staying by Xia Wen's side for so many years.

"What's wrong with you? You don't look too good," Xia Wen asked as he entered.

"Eldest Brother, you're here..." Qiao Mei said weakly. After pouring Xia Wen a cup of tea, she continued, "I just haven't had enough rest. It's not a big deal. I have already drunk some ginseng wine and will recover soon."

"There's already some progress in this matter. You can leave the rest to me. Zou Ming is already putting the request up for approval and Auntie Li will be back soon," Xia Wen said.

"It's fine. Anyway, it's already been so many days. Eldest Brother, you must have something else that you want to tell me," Qiao Mei asked Xia Wen with a smile.

"I really can't hide anything from you, but looking at your current state, I really can't bear to say anything," Xia Wen said with a sigh.

"Don't you know me well after so many years? I have a strong tolerance level. Tell me. Otherwise, I'll get too curious," Qiao Mei said.

Xia Wen picked up the teacup and took a sip before saying, "The Huang family wants to meet you and me and has invited us to dinner under the guise of showing gratitude and catching up with us. Do you want to go?" freewebnσvel.cѳm

"Yes, of course," Qiao Mei said. She had long wanted to see what the Huang family was up to. She had thought that the Huang family would behave obediently after losing their assets and status in society. Now, it seemed that she had been too optimistic. For people like the Huang family members, if she did not get rid of them, they would never give up.

"You! You really like to get involved in all kinds of drama! What if there's danger!" Xia Wen said.

"Don't I still have Eldest Brother with me? What's there to be afraid of?" Qiao Mei said casually.

"After Xia Zhe comes back, I'll tell him about all the things you did and let him reprimand you!" Xia Wen said.

Qiao Mei thought to herself, "Your younger brother won't dare to do that. He will only dote on me~" "How has Sister-in-law been recently? Has she recovered well? Do you still have enough medicinal wine? If not, my grandfather still has some," Qiao Mei said.

After drinking Qiao Mei's medicinal wine, Xia He and Mo Zhu were much healthier than before. Many of their old illnesses were gone. It was said that the confinement period was like the rebirth of a woman. It looked like this was not a myth.

"She's doing very well. It's just that it has been very windy recently, so I don't let her go out of the house. I'm afraid she'll get a headache from being exposed to the wind," Xia Wen said with a blissful expression.

"I have brought back a lot of things from Country M for Sister-in-law. I'll get Sister Feng to send them over later. After this matter is settled, I'll go and pay Sister-in-law a visit," Qiao Mei said.
