Chapter 2427: Awake

“Yes, they’ll probably be here soon,” Xia Wen said calmly.

In this era, only a few hospitals had ambulances. Furthermore, it was very troublesome and expensive to get approval to call for an ambulance. THere was no way that an ordinary family would be able to get it done. Given the process involved, it was entirely reasonable for Qiao Mei to have arrived before the ambulance did.

After drinking some medicinal wine, Xia Wen looked much better and also regained his strength. Qiao Mei reached out to hold up the woman’s hair that was covering her face. She did not expect the woman to be Wang Tian!

Not only did Wang Tian have injuries on her head, but she also had a cut on her wrist and her clothes were in tatters. If news of this got out, Xia Wen would not be able to work in the government sector anymore and Wang Tian’s reputation would also be ruined.

“What exactly is going on?” Qiao Mei turned around and asked Xia Wen.

Before Xia Wen could even speak, the group of people standing there pointed at him and said, “It’s him! He’s the one who wants to force this woman to die! He’s the one who killed her! We all saw it! He grabbed this woman by the neck and smashed her head to the floor!”

“We all saw it!” the others echoed with trembling voices.

Qiao Mei definitely did not believe what these people said.

She stared at the man who spoke first and asked sternly, “Do you dare to swear to the heavens that everything you said just now is true?”

“Why wouldn’t I dare?” the man said.

Qiao Mei turned around and looked at Xia Wen helplessly. Someone had spared no effort to gather all the enemies of the Xia family together in one place.

Wang Tian had always wanted to marry Xia Yuan. Seeing that Xia Yuan was going to marry someone else, all the Xia family members thought that Wang Tian would give up. They did not expect Wang Tian to do such a thing to harm the Xia family.

Qiao Mei asked Molly to come upstairs. Molly then proceeded to tell Qiao Mei everything she knew. Wang Tian had used her own life to threaten Xia Wen and wanted him to ask Xia Yuan to marry her. Otherwise, she would frame Xia Wen for her own murder. As for all the wounds on her hands, body and head, Wang Tian did it herself and she even laced Xia Wen’s water with drugs.

“The people here are all your people! Of course you can say whatever you want! The people working here can’t be witnesses!” the man roared as he pointed at Molly.

Qiao Mei sighed. It looked like she could not afford to wait for the paramedics to arrive. She took out some medicinal wine from her bag and poured it down Wang Tian’s throat. The group of people stared with their eyes wide open. This must be the legendary golden medicinal wine! This was the thing which could bring a person back from the dead!

As expected, Qiao Mei still had some medicinal wine in her possession. The news from the black market was all fake! Their eyes lit up and they looked like they wanted to tear Qiao Mei apart and eat her up.

In the beginning, they had enticed Wang Tian to frame Xia Wen. Their plan was to work with Wang Tian to blackmail Xia Wen so that all of them would be able to get what they wanted. In fact, they did not care about Wang Tian at all. They would be more than happy if she died! If she did, then Xia Wen would be known as a murderer and would never be able to clear his name. No matter what the Xia family did, they would not be able to help him clear his name.

Wang Tian regained consciousness soon. She looked around in a daze and the memories from before she fainted came flooding back. She had almost died just now! Only then did she realize that this group of people had lied to her.

“Are you feeling alright? Do you feel any discomfort at all?” Qiao Mei asked gently.

Wang Tian had never seen Qiao Mei so gentle before. She knew that this was a trap. Wang Tian held her head and said weakly, “I’m fine… I just feel a little dizzy and a little nauseous…”

“Then do you remember what happened earlier?” Qiao Mei asked again.

Wang Tian looked down and did not speak. In the current situation, as long as she followed the original plan, she would be able to marry into the Xia family. Although this group of people almost killed her, she was still alive and well now! As long as there was still a trace of hope, she wanted to give it a shot!

“I feel terrible… My body hurts… It’s Xia Wen… It’s him…” Wang Tian said fearfully.

Qiao Mei laughed coldly. It seemed that she was still a little too naive. One could never hope for a beast to turn into a human with a conscience.

“Can you get up now? Do you need my help?” Qiao Mei said as she kept a lid on her anger.

Wang Tian did not respond to Qiao Mei. She just sat on the floor and continued with her act, muttering that it was all Xia Wen’s fault and rattling off the lines which the group of people had prepared for her.

Qiao Mei turned around and raised her eyebrows at Xia Wen. He spread out his hands and shook them helplessly. There was nothing he could do about this matter. After all, this group of people were all out to frame him.

“All the Xia family members are beasts! You want to kill such a weak and pitiful woman! Your Xia Yuan took advantage of her and Xia Wen wanted to take her life! The Xia family is full of nasty people!” the man said.

Qiao Mei did not intend to argue with this group of people. She waved her hand and Xiao Zhuang brought over a stool. She sat down and looked at Wang Tian as she said, “You said that Xia Yuan took advantage of you. When did this happen? And where? How did you contact each other?”
