After Transmigrating, The Fat Wife Made A Comeback! - Chapter 1161

1161 Leaving the Scene
The Xia siblings’ forte was not in fire fighting and carrying out disaster relief. If they rushed into the scene now, it would only delay the work of the response team. It was better to wait quietly at the perimeter.

By the time Xia Mao and Xia Xiu arrived, it was already four hours after the accident. The villagers around the area had called the police when they heard the loud explosion, asking for help to deal with the fire and the aftermath of the accident.

Most of the people living around here relied on this mountain for their survival. A lot of wild vegetables, even mushrooms, grew on this mountain and there were a lot of fruit trees. All these were a source of income for the villages.

If the entire forest burned down because of the explosion, it would threaten their survival.

“Eldest Brother, whatever it is, it has already happened. We have to accept the fact. Perhaps this is not Xia Zhe’s car? We shouldn’t get too anxious. Let’s wait for the staff to tell us what they found out,” Xia Xiu lowered her head and said in a choked voice.

“I guess there’s no other way. We can only wait for now,” Xia Mao said sadly.

There were three or four people behaving sneakily in the crowd and who kept looking in their direction. These were probably the people planted by Cheng Gu.

Given that there were many villagers around, as well as police officers, Cheng Gu would not attack Xia Mao at this time. He would have to be extremely arrogant to do something like that.

After about three to four hours, the scene was almost all cleaned up. The response team prepared to pack up and return to their office to run tests on the evidence collected at the scene and start the investigation work.

Xia Xiu took out her work pass and said, “Hello. This is the car which my nephew is supposedly driving back to the capital. I want to know… I want to know how many people there are in the car and the age of the deceased.”

“There are two people. At the moment, we can’t confirm how old the deceased are, but we can confirm that they are two men. We still have to carry out further search and rescue operations and investigations. Please trust us and wait patiently. Thank you.” The response team left after saying that.

Although Xia Xiu knew that it was not Xia Zhe and the chauffeur, she could not stop herself from trembling when she heard about the two bodies. The Xia family had managed to buy these two corpses from the black market, even though they did not know anyone from there. For people like them to do any dealings with the black market, it would be like a police officer making friends with a thief. It was very strange behavior and no one would trust them.

They had He Ning to thank for this. He Ning’s condition was very simple. He simply wanted Qiao Mei’s ginseng but he would not take advantage of the Xia family. He would pay the Xia family 20% of the original price.

He Ning was an opportunist. He would not do anything if he did not benefit from it.

“Eldest Brother, let’s go back… Xiao Zhe, he… he won’t come back to life…” Xia Xiu said sadly.

Xia Mao suddenly fainted. Xia Xiu was so shocked that she quickly called out for help to carry Xia Mao into the car so that she could send him to Xia Fang’s hospital for treatment. In the car, Xia Xiu held Xia Mao’s wrist tightly to check whether he was really unconscious or just pretending.

She was a very experienced interrogator. The rhythm of a person’s heartbeat could tell her everything about that person’s condition. Xia Mao’s heartbeat was steady and strong and he did seem sick or flustered at all. He was just pretending!

Xia Zhe and the chauffeur sat quietly in the car sent by the Xia family. The car headed towards the suburbs and bypassed the capital.
“Xiao An, where exactly are you taking us?” Xia Zhe asked.

“Since it’s been announced that you’re dead, you can’t appear in front of the general public anymore. There will probably be many pairs of eyes on the Xia family residence tonight, so we have to send the two of you to the suburbs to stay for a couple of days. You can go back after the enemy’s spies leave,” Xiao An explained.

Xia Zhe said unhappily, “Turn around. I want to go to the hospital. I want to see Qiao Mei. Send me there!”

Xiao An was caught in a dilemma. By right, Xia Zhe could be considered his superior and he could not disobey Xia Zhe’s orders. However, Luo Yu had already instructed him not to take any instructions from Xia Zhe at all, otherwise it would lead to a disaster!

“Brother Xia Zhe, please spare me. If you go back now, the enemy will be able to make a comeback. In that case, the people we send after them will also be exposed. Just… bear with it… for us, is that alright?” Xiao An said with a troubled expression.
