Chapter 2324 Getting the Medicinal Wine
Furthermore, they still needed Shao Yin to go back with the medicine. If any of them went, the Huang family's father and son pair would become suspicious.
In the past, Qiao Mei would simply turn her back on this situation. However, she was a mother now and could not bear to see any child suffer. Furthermore, that child was Xia Jun's great-grandson and cousin to her three children. She must save the boy.
However, they had to think about how to carry out the rescue. They could not act rashly and must use their wits.
"There's only two of them. I've already arranged for a team to surround Xia Xing's house," Xia Wen said.
Shao Yin could feel herself slowly getting better. She had always thought that it was an exaggeration to say that this medicinal wine was "divine medicine". However, it appeared to really have the ability to even revive the dead! No wonder so many people wanted to get hold of it.
"Thank you! Thank you to all of you!" Shao Yin said agitatedly.
Qiao Mei went into her room and took out seven bottles of green medicinal wine. Then, she stuffed a smaller bottle into Shao Yin's hand. "Give them six bottles and feed the child one bottle. Once they leave, feed the child the contents of the smaller bottle immediately."
Since the child was still so young, his immune system was definitely not as good as that of an adult. Qiao Mei was worried that the green ginseng juice would not be able to totally detoxify the poison from his body, so she wanted to supplement his treatment with the golden ginseng juice.
Xia Wen escorted Shao Yin out of the house as she hugged the bag with the seven bottles of medicinal wine nervously. She remained worried that even if she gave them the medicinal wine, she would not be in time to save her child.
"Eldest Cousin, do you think we can really save Xiao Hai by doing this? What should I do later? Should I give them the medicine first? Will they keep their promise and return him to me? Will he be able to last until I go back?" Shao Yin had many questions and wanted answers.
Xia Wen patted Shao Yin's shoulder and said, "Ask them to return you the child first before you give them the medicinal wine. You just need to protect him well. Leave the rest to me."
Although the Huang family's father and son pair were crazy and ruthless, they had one fatal flaw. They were very arrogant and would not think highly of a weak woman and a young child. They would not feel that returning the child to Shao Yin would be any threat to them.
"I'll drive you somewhere close to your house. Once we are near, you should get down and ride the bicycle back. Don't let them become suspicious," Xia Wen instructed.
Not long after he started driving, Xia Wen realized that there was a car following behind them. It was Qiao Mei and Xia He!
Xia Wen immediately pulled over so Qiao Mei stopped her car as well. The two of them stood at the side of the road and confronted each other.
"What are you doing here?" Xia Wen asked with a frown.
"I'm here to help," Qiao Mei said lightly.
"The two of you should go back now. I can settle this matter. Don't make me worry about you as well," Xia Wen said.
"It's good to have me around as a form of insurance. Don't worry, I won't go too close. Xia He and I will stand far far away. When it's time to capture the men and the child is put in danger, we can provide timely assistance," Qiao Mei said.
Xia Wen gave it some thought and felt that it made sense. After the two of them agreed on a plan, they immediately got back into their cars and headed for Xia Xing's house. In the car, Shao Yin was surprised to learn about the latest development. She had never imagined that Qiao Mei would come along and help her. After all, it was already beyond her expectations that Qiao Mei was willing to give her the medicinal wine.
That was not Qiao Mei's intent. She just noted that it was getting dark. If Shao Yin happened to give away the fact that Xia Wen and the security team were in the vicinity, then Qiao Mei could quickly make a move to protect Xia Hai. She was the last line of defense for today's operation. Even if it meant her ability would be exposed, she must still protect Xia Hai.
Xia Wan also wanted to go with them, but Gao Long quickly held her back. Qiao Mei and Xia He knew how to protect themselves. Xia Wan did not have any special skills and would only hold them back if she went. If they ran into any danger, they would need to expend additional efforts on making sure that she was safe.
When they got quite close to the house, Shao Yin got out of the car to ride the bicycle. She rode very carefully along the way, worried that she would accidentally break the bottles of medicinal wine in her lap. It meant the difference between Xia Hai's life and death!
Shao Yin dismounted from the bicycle shakily and walked into the house with the bottles of medicinal wine in her arms. She closed the door carefully behind her.
"That was fast," Huang Mian said with a smile as he remained seated beside Xia Hai.
"I have the medicinal wine. Give me back my son first!" Shao Yin said forcefully.
Huang Mian and Huang Zhong stared fixedly at Shao Yin as they sized her up. By right, Shao Yin should be on her last breath at this moment. It appeared like she had taken the medicinal wine already. Her complexion was even more rosy than when they saw her just now. This medicinal wine was really good stuff! It looked like there was hope for their entire family!
Huang Zhong blocked the door and waved at Huang Mian, saying, "Give her the child."
Xia Wen's guess was right. Huang Zhong really did not think much of Shao Yin and Xia Hai.
