Although Xia Zhe had a certain amount of influence in Sky City, he had only been active here for a short period of time and did not have a strong foundation yet. The police did not think much of Xia Zhe at all. With the backing of the Zhang family, the police had been doing whatever they wanted in Sky City for many years. The two sides had been in cahoots for a long time.

“Tell me, what do you want?” Qiao Mei said as she looked at Zhang Ping calmly.

“Miss Pu, you must be joking. We’re just working with the police,” Zhang Ping said.

“There is a lot of suspicious stuff in this house. We’re going to seal it off as a crime scene! The two of you should leave now!” the police chief said.

At this point, Qiao Mei knew that if she did not move out of the house today, the police and the Zhang family would not give up. They had even come up with the reason to seize the house. If Qiao Mei and Xia He did not cooperate, it would be tantamount to obstruction of justice and they could even be arrested.

The Zhang family wanted to force her into a corner, or rather, to put her through mental stress so that she would hand over the jewelry obediently. The police were here to conduct a search so as to find out if Qiao Mei had brought the jewelry along with her. This was to help the Zhang family establish the location of the jewelry.

There was nothing of value in this house, Xia He and Qiao Mei had left all their documents at Xia Zhe’s villa. Although Qiao Mei and Xia He had spent a lot of money to create their fake identities, if the police really wanted to dig into this issue, they would not be able to explain their way out of it and might even expose Xia Zhe’s true identity.

“Let’s go,” Qiao Mei said solemnly.

Before Qiao Mei left, she stared fixedly at Zhang Ping who was still standing at the door. She would remember this affront and would definitely demand an explanation from the Zhang family in the future.

Qiao Mei and Xia He stood downstairs and waited to hail a ride. After waiting for a long time, they suddenly realized that they had not seen a single car pass by since they came down.

“Don’t tell me they set up a roadblock!” Xia He said furiously.

“Probably. I’ll get Da Dong or one of the guys to pick us up.” Qiao Mei went to a shop nearby and made a call to the bodyguards. Once Da Dong heard about what happened, he set off immediately with all the other bodyguards. He even called for more bodyguards from the headquarters to come and lend support to them.

By the time they arrived in front of Qiao Mei, the police officers and Zhang Ping had also come downstairs. Both sides stood at their corners and neither group made a move to leave. Neither side made any impulsive moves.

“Didn’t you tell me that this young lady isn’t very powerful? Then where did she get so many bodyguards?” the police chief questioned.

“She’s just an ordinary person, only a mistress. Those bodyguards must be people she just hired. You’re the police chief, why are you so timid? The Zhang family has treated you well. Don’t forget our friendship,” Zhang Ping said with a smile.

“Friendship? It’s all business between us. Don’t make it sound so nice,” the police chief said disdainfully.

“Even if it’s just business, we’re all bound together. Old Mr. Zhang will give you a generous reward for what you did today. Don’t worry,” Zhang Ping said.

Da Dong stood in front of Qiao Mei and asked softly, “Do you want us to attack?”

“Don’t cause trouble. Now is not the time to fight them. Let’s go first.” After saying that, Qiao Mei got into the car with Xia He following closely behind. Before getting into the car, Qiao Mei flashed the gold badge on her waist in the direction of the police chief. The police chief was so frightened by the sight that he stood rooted to the spot and did not even dare to breathe.

The police chief grabbed Zhang Ping by the collar and questioned him, “What is that! M/hy didn’t you tell me that they are related to that demoness, Bella?”

“Calm down. That young lady is just bluffing. If she’s really related to Bella, we would have heard about a higher body count by now. You’ve worked in Sky

City for so many years, have you ever seen a gold badge? It must be a fake,” Zhang Ping said by way of comfort.

They had only seen a silver badge once in all these years. Bella and her team kept a very low profile and those people with badges also did not behave ostentatiously. Or rather, anyone who had ever seen the badges were all silenced in the end.

“You better be telling the truth!” the police chief said through gritted teeth.

Qiao Mei and Xia He returned to the villa and went back to their rooms to rest. Too many things had happened recently and the two of them had not slept well. Since the Zhang family had come out to declare war on them, there was no need for them to hide anymore.

Da Dong and the others stood guard at various corners downstairs. They even planted many secret sentries in the neighborhood. As soon as there was any movement, they would immediately be on high alert..
