As long as she could find a way to cut off the connection between Zhang Cheng and the cufflink, there was still a high chance that the cufflink would pledge allegiance to Qiao Mei and she could use it freely. Perhaps Qiao Mei could even use the cufflink to find the whereabouts of the remaining jewelry.
“Zhang Cheng has been locked up here for too long. We have to think of a way to get rid of all of them,” Qiao Mei said as she sat on the cheap sofa in the living room.
But we don’t have any connections here. Even if we kill them, how do we destroy the evidence? We can’t just bury them in the back mountain. It’ll be difficult to explain ourselves if it gets found out,” Xia He asked.
Just as the two of them were discussing how to deal with Zhang Cheng and his bodyguards, Gao Lin walked out of the basement slowly. Qiao Mei heaved a sigh of relief when she saw that there was not much bloodstains on Gao Lin. This meant that Gao Lin did not kill Zhang Cheng.
“Granduncle, how do you plan to deal with him?” Qiao Mei asked.
“I have a favor to ask of you. You might find it very troublesome and you can reject me,” Gao Lin said awkwardly.
“Granduncle, if there’s anything you need, just tell me. I’ll help you as much as I can,” Qiao Mei said.
“Leave with Gao Ming. Go as far away as you can. We can’t let anyone know that Gao Ming has regained consciousness. The Zhang family is currently investigating Zhang Chengs whereabouts. If they find out that Gao Ming has recovered, they might suspect us. Once the Zhang family and the police work together, none of us will be able to leave,” Gao Lin said.
“We can leave with him, but what about you, Granduncle? And what about Uncle? We still have a chance to win this. As long as we can get Zhang Chengs signed statement, we can send him to jail,” Qiao Mei said.
“No! Zhang Cheng can’t leave this place alive! He’s a sinister and cunning person who will stop at nothing. Once Zhang Cheng leaves this place, none of us will be safe. The only way out is for him to be dead!” Gao Lin looked at Qiao Mei and sighed, saying, “I’m already mentally prepared to do this. You don’t have to dissuade me anymore.”
Qiao Mei just looked at Gao Lin quietly. At this moment, she could not come up with a better solution. It was not as if she could ask Bella for help with such a dangerous situation. She could not let anyone else know about the matter between the Gao and Zhang families.
“Granduncle, just hold off for a while. Let me think about it.” Qiao Mei left the Gao family’s house with Xia He. Both of them looked extremely worried as they left.
It was a very relaxed scene at the Zhang family’s house. Liang Jin sat in the living room and drank red wine while listening to music. She had not felt so happy in a very long time. The last time she felt so happy was when she received the news of Gao Tao’s death.
Zhang Yao hid in a corner and looked at Liang Jin in fear. She did not understand why Liang Jin was so happy that her grandfather was dead. Could it be that the rumors were true? That her grandmother was really the one who murdered her grandfather.
“Yao Yao, why are you hiding there? Come and sit next to Grandma,” Liang Jin said as she waved at Zhang Yao in the corner.
“Grandma, do you know where Grandpa is? When is Grandpa coming home? What are my parents doing? Are they working hard to find Grandpa?” Zhang Yao asked.
“You don’t have to worry about your grandfather, You’re still Grandma’s darling. In the future, we’re in charge of the Zhang family and those slutty women will no longer be here! Grandma can give you whatever you want. Aren’t you happy about that?” Liang Jin asked agitatedly.
Zhang Yao was actually very happy to hear this. Zhang Chengs mistresses had always lived in the same house as them. Those mistresses who only gave birth to daughters kept a low profile and treaded carefully, so they naturally did not dare to offend Liang Jin and Zhang Yao. However, those mistresses who gave birth to sons did not keep such a low profile.
They wanted nothing more than to show off in front of Liang Jin and they usually behaved like tyrants. When Liang Jin was at home, they would still try to restrain themselves. However, once Liang Jin was not at home, they would start acting like bullies and Zhang Yao was always the one who suffered.
As Zhang Ou was not Zhang Chengs biological son, Zhang Cheng really hated Zhang ()u. Naturally, he also did not like Zhang Yao, especially since Zhang Yao resembled Liang Jin so much.
“Grandma, can l… can I go and see him?” Zhang Yao asked tentatively..
