Bab 1496: Vacant

"My name is Da Zhuang. That's my younger brother. You can just call him Xiao Zhuang. We're Brother Luo's new recruits, hired to guard Sister Qiao's house!" Da Zhuang said with a grin.

Xia Zhe looked around and realized that there was no one else in the front yard apart from the four men. Where had Qiao Mei and the others gone?

"Brother-in-law, you don't have to look around. Sister Qiao isn't at home. She hasn't been back for a few days," Da Zhuang said.

"She hasn't been at home for a few days? Then where is she?" Xia Zhe asked in puzzlement.

"We're not too sure either. We only know that Sister Qiao has gotten really rich recently and built a factory in the suburbs. She has even sent her children to her mother-in-law's house. Oh right! To your mother's place! We don't know anything else," Da Zhuang said honestly.
