Qiao Mei shouted desperately towards the surrounding areas, “Fire! Fire! Come and help put out the fire!”

The neighbors rushed out to help and the entire alley became bustling with activity. They were not doing it out of goodwill though. Given Shao Yin’s usual behavior, there were definitely not many neighbors who were willing to befriend her. Their main reason for helping was most likely because all the houses here were interconnected. The wind was currently quite strong, so if the fire became bigger, all the houses here would be affected.

Huang Zhong and his gang of men were definitely not a match for Xia Wen’s team, so they were subdued very quickly. Huang Zhong hugged the bag of medicinal wine tightly and refused to let go. He had been waiting for the house to explode so that he could grasp the opportunity and slip away in the chaos. Based on his calculations, the explosion should have happened by now.

“Keep an eye on these people! Make sure none of them escape! I’ll go in front to take a look!” After saying that, Xia Wen walked towards Shao Yin’s house.

Shao Yin and Xia Hai had already been rescued from the fire. Qiao Mei’s vines could only last for a short period of time. Shao Yin’s arms and back were covered in burns, while Xia Hai only choked on the smoke and was generally fine.

Although the neighbors managed to save the two of them out of the house, the fire was still not completely put out yet. Everyone went back to fight the fire. Shao Yin and her child were just left at one side and everyone simply ignored them.

Seeing this, Qiao Mei shook her head resignedly. Looking at how Shao Yin was treated, it must mean that she had not been getting along with the neighbors all this while.

Xia Wen and Qiao Mei went forward to take a closer look at the physical condition of the mother and son pair. After confirming that the pair were not in any danger, they could finally stop worrying.

“Didn’t I tell you not to get out of the car? Never mind that Xia He left the car, but how can you mess around as well,” Xia Wen said sharply.

Qiao Mei scratched her head in embarrassment and said, “I was just too anxious…”

The team of guards, led by Xia He, brought over the perpetrators who were tied up. Qiao Mei took the cloth bag from the bodyguard and then made a grand gesture of pouring all the medicinal wine on Shao Yin and the child.

“The medicine! My medicine! How can you use this medicine like this!” Huang Zhong shouted angrily.

Qiao Mei threw away the glass bottles casually and said indifferently, “It’s my medicine and I can use it however I want. What has it got to do with you? When did the medicine become yours?”

Qiao Mei could vaguely see a faint green glow coming from Huang Zhong’s chest. It looked like this old man had already drunk a bottle before they arrived. Anyway, he was about to die soon, so it was not a big deal for him to know her secret. Qiao Mei placed her hand on him and slowly took back the energy. Huang Zhong once again felt that unbearable pain which he had been suffering from.

“Cough, cough, cough… How can it be… I clearly drank the medicine already… I clearly got better! Why am I like this!” Huang Zhong said agitatedly.

Xia He took out the small medicine bottle from Shao Yin’s pocket and fed the liquid to the child. His face quickly became more rosy. Both mother and child were no longer in any mortal danger.

“Break their legs so that they can’t walk around,” Xia He said, pointing at Huang Mian and Huang Zhong.

“No! No! Ah!!!”

The neighbors looked in Qiao Mei’s direction. If not for the fact that the fire was still not completely extinguished, they really wanted to head over and join in the commotion to see what was going on.

“The two of you bring Shao Yin and the child back first. I’ll send these two to Zou Ming,” Xia Wen said.

“Alright,” Qiao Mei said.

Qiao Mei stuffed the child into Xia He’s arms, then she swooped Shao Yin up into her arms in an instant. Everyone was shocked by how strong Qiao Mei was. They marveled at how a person with such a small build could actually have such great strength. Xia Wen and Xia He maintained the same expression throughout since they were already so used to it.

Qiao Mei drove back to the manor where everyone was waiting anxiously for them in the living room. As soon as they entered the house, everyone swarmed over. They did not check on Shao Yin as their full attention was on the other two women.

“The two of you! It’s enough for Xia Wen to handle this matter! Why do the two of you have to get involved! What if you encounter danger!” Xu Lan said angrily.

“Mother~ See, we’re fine~” Qiao Mei leaned on Xu Lan’s shoulder and said sweetly.

“It’s too late if something happens! Do you really want to wait until something happens!” Xu Lan said.

“I know, I know. I definitely won’t do something like this again!” Qiao Mei said.

Xia Wan and Gao Long rolled their eyes in unison. If Qiao Mei’s words could be trusted, then pigs could also fly! She only said that to make Xu Lan happy.

“Give the child a bath first. I’ll do a quick checkup on him later,” Xia Fang said as she handed the child to the helper.

Qiao Mei told everyone the whole story. All of them became even resentful towards the Huang family after that. This time round, they must completely eliminate the root of the problem and not allow the Huang family to be able to cause trouble again!
