"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.
