As soon as Liang Wei left, Zhao Xiang and Zhao Yan left too, and Xia Baoguo was the only one locked in the room. However, Xia Xiao didn’t immediately plead with Xia Baoguo but followed Liang Wei and the others out.
"Liang Wei, he’s my second uncle after all. Don’t kill him," Zhao Yan said.
Liang Wei let out a sneer, "Your aunt lost her baby because of you, and you’re still afraid of killing someone? You’ve already got a life on your hands."
Zhao Yan turned pale, then said, "It wasn’t intentional."
Liang Wei said, "Just scaring you. Look how pale your little face has become; that won’t do. You’re already married, you can’t be this timid."
The Suns? Xia Xiao shook her head; the Suns were already struggling, having offended someone called Yang He. Mr. Sun had had a stroke and was in the hospital. That person named Yang He hadn’t caused trouble yet, but who knew whether he would in the future.
Besides, since Mr. Sun had a stroke, he had also lost his position. Moreover, considering that Mr. Sun would marry off his daughter to an older man with children for the sake of power, Xia Xiao thought he wasn’t a good person either.
The Gu Family? Xia Xiao shook her head; the Gu Family was also not an option.
If the open approach wouldn’t work, she would have to resort to covert methods.
Xia Xiao kept following Liang Wei, getting to know the people around him, as well as his organization.
Suddenly, Xia Xiao heard Zhao Xiang say something, "Liang Wei, should we discuss this matter with the higher-ups?"
Xia Xiao paused; this involved Yang He.
"No need. Let’s wait until we take down the newspaper. If we talk about it now, who knows if someone might steal my credit?"
Hearing Liang Wei say this, Zhao Xiang nodded, then suddenly raised his head and looked into the distance, "It’s Yang He."
Liang Wei immediately pulled Zhao Xiang into hiding, and Zhao Xiang said, "Why not go over? It’s such a good opportunity," Zhao Xiang was eager; he had never met Yang He before.
"Why go now? Did you not see who’s with him? That’s Sun Yuqi of the Suns. If we go now, someone will steal my achievements."
Xia Xiao understood; Liang Wei was one of Yang He’s subordinates. She looked over and was momentarily stunned.
There were several people in the distance, one of whom was Sun Yuqi, whom Xia Xiao had seen earlier today, Sun Yuhua’s brother. By his side was a middle-aged man in patched clothes, very thin, and looking just like an ordinary man—hard to imagine he was Liang Wei’s boss.
Xia Xiao went straight over; she wanted to hear what Sun Yuqi and Yang He were saying. As soon as she got there, she heard Sun Yuqi saying, "Brother Yang, I’m really sorry. It was initially our fault, and now to trouble you to visit my dad in the hospital—I’m truly sorry."
Yang He shook his head, "It’s fine. Your dad and I go way back. If we can’t become in-laws, we can still be friends. If your sister doesn’t want to, let’s forget it. I’m not one to force others. Don’t make it hard for her; it’s not easy for a girl to be on her own outside. Let her come home when she has time."
Sun Yuqi continued, "Yes, yes, Brother Yang is generous."
Hearing these words, Xia Xiao raised an eyebrow. It seemed that Yang He wasn’t as despicable as she thought, but still, one can never judge a book by its cover. She couldn’t make a judgment right now.
After Yang He and Sun Yuqi had left, Xia Xiao then said, "Gege, can you help me look like Yang He? I want to imitate his appearance and voice."
"I can, but it will only last a minute."
Shitou’s words had barely landed before Xia Xiao was overjoyed, "Then let’s go. Later, we’ll intercept Liang Wei."
So when Xia Xiao, disguised as Yang He, appeared in front of Liang Wei and Zhao Xiang, Liang Wei was shocked, thinking Yang He had left and not expecting to run into him here.
"Brother Yangyang," Liang Wei hurried over.
Xia Xiao didn’t waste words and said, "You, stop what you’re doing right now."
As soon as she finished speaking, Xia Xiao left, afraid that delaying might blow her cover, while Liang Wei, frustrated, spat out, and Zhao Xiang asked, "What now?"
"What else can we do but release him," Liang Wei said.
"But we’ve already captured him, just to release him now?" Zhao Xiang wasn’t content; he had no intention of killing Baoguo, but he still wanted to make him suffer a little.
"Let him go. Didn’t you hear? Go back and release him."
Once Liang Wei said this, no matter how reluctant Zhao Xiang was, he had to accept it.
Hearing this, Xia Xiao breathed a sigh of relief, a smile spreading across her face, not expecting it to have been so easy.
