1166 Basic Trust

She was sure that he did not eat much on the way back and he had even encountered such a dangerous explosion. After so many days, he must be exhausted. If he still did not eat well at home, he would definitely fall ill within a few days.

“In the army, sometimes there are occasions when we don’t get to eat for a few days. When we run out of food, we even need to eat weeds to survive. Don’t worry, Xia Zhe won’t starve to death. He’s not a fool. He just doesn’t like to be disturbed when he’s concentrating on his thoughts. Just let him be.” Xia Xiu looked very proud when she said this.

Xu Lan could not understand her family members’ military way of thinking. She could not help being worried about Xia Zhe. She was almost unable to withstand the stress of seeing her children getting into trouble one after another.

At night, Xia Zhe received news from his spies. The report he received was even more detailed than what Xia Mao had. The most glaring part of the information were the words “Tan Jing”.

He would never have dreamed that it was Tan Jing who colluded with those people who wanted to destroy the Xia family. She actually worked with them to attack the Xia family!

No! It would be more accurate to say that her target was Qiao Mei and their small family.

Xia Zhe walked out of the study with a dark expression and everyone’s eyes were on him. Xia Zhe held the photos and doc.u.ments in his hand and did not know where to start. Xia Wen was also sitting in the living room.

“Xia Zhe, come down and eat! I cooked today! You haven’t tasted my cooking for many years! Come and try!” Xu Lan said expectantly.

Xia Zhe suppressed the anger in his heart. He would have a meal with his family first and settle the score later.

“Eldest Brother, do you know the reason for Qiao Mei’s incident?” Xia Zhe sat on the sofa after the meal and questioned Xia Wen coldly.

“I… I don’t know. I only have fragments of information and I can’t seem to put them together,” Xia Wen said honestly.

“Take a look at this. This is what I found. I think it’s also the last thing you want to see,” Xia Zhe said as he handed the brown envelope to Xia Wen.

After Xia Wen opened it, he could not believe what he saw. The traitor was not only Sister Fan’s husband, but also Tan Jing… That was his wife…

There were three pages of detailed records, listing down information like the exact date when Tan Jing first met Cheng Gu, the separate occasions she met him after that, and even the date of that one night when Cheng Gu stayed overnight in that house in the countryside. The two of them were alone in the same room and no one knew what they did inside.

Furthermore, these were only the information provided by the villagers, which meant that it was only the tip of the iceberg. There were still more things that Xia Wen did not know. After what happened to Tan Jing, Xia Wen had gone to that house to take a look and his impression was that Tan Jing had maintained the place very well. He was proud of how capable she was and had felt even more guilt towards her.

In the end, she had received help from another man and many people actually thought that she and the other man were husband and wife.

Where did this leave him, her actual husband? Perhaps he really did not put in effort in the relations.h.i.+p, which was why the villain had a chance to take advantage of the situation and put the Xia family in danger. He had been muddle-headed during this period of time. What exactly was he doing all this while!

“I… I’m sorry. I’m the one who caused Qiao Mei to get hurt,” Xia Wen said apologetically.

“Eldest Brother, this is not your fault. It’s all because of Tan Jing’s jealousy and the Tan family’s greed. Don’t take the blame for everything,” Xia Zhe patted Xia Wen’s shoulder and comforted him.

Xia He hurriedly s.n.a.t.c.hed the doc.u.ments and read the report word for word. She was so furious that she crumpled the papers in her hand, as if every word written on it was a knife that could hurt Qiao Mei.

“This Tan Jing! She’s such a jinx!” Xia He said resentfully.

Everyone frowned. None of them had even thought about suspecting Tan Jing. No matter the kind of danger they were in or how serious this matter was, they did not think about casting any suspicions on Tan Jing.

This was because Tan Jing was a member of the Xia family and she was the family’s daughter-in-law. They would not suspect any Xia family members. This was the most basic trust which everyone gave to everyone. They all thought that although Tan Jing was just a very jealous person, she still had a good character, and that she would have grown up to be a good kid if not for the kind of maternal family she had.

However, from the looks of it, they had completely underestimated the evilness of the human heart. In order to seriously injure Qiao Mei, Tan Jing did not hesitate to cooperate with outsiders, even if it meant the Xia family would be doomed. She did not even check on Cheng Gu’s ident.i.ty and could only think about getting Qiao Mei’s children for herself.
