บท 2239: Mend the Defect

"But I want to help you dig the tunnel," Qiao Mei said. With her around to help him, the matter of digging a tunnel could be done in minutes.

Even though she would not do it so blatantly that Xia Zhe would discover her abilities, it would definitely shorten the time needed.

"There's no need!" Xia Zhe looked at Qiao Mei sternly. She had never seen him giving her such a fierce expression before.

What he was going to do this time was way too dangerous. If he was caught, he might lose his life. He could not let Qiao Mei take the risk together with him. They still had three children waiting for them at home.

"Be good and go home immediately!" Xia Zhe pressed his index finger gently on her lips and continued, "Trust me, I'll go back safely."

Seeing his determination, Qiao Mei could only nod in agreement. This time round, she would really cause trouble for Xia Zhe if she continued to stay here.
