Zhuang Hua encountered the follow-up rescue team on his way and so he came back early to rest and make further preparations. As soon as he returned, he saw a smug Xia Zhe talking to a dejected Zhang Yong, with the beautiful young girl standing beside him.
"What are you up to?" Zhuang Hua shouted from afar as he jogged over.
The first thing that came out of his mouth was also not a report of the situation to Xia Zhe. He stared at Qiao Mei and sized her up to see if she was injured.
"Comrade Miao Miao, are you injured?" Zhuang Hua asked nervously.
Xia Zhe's face instantly hardened. Although he knew that Qiao Mei told them her name was Zhang Miao, he still felt uncomfortable hearing them address her like that.
Xia Zhe clenched his fists. If Zhuang Hua said another word, Xia Zhe would probably not be able to hold back.
"Oh, I'm fine." Qiao Mei said as she hurriedly held on to Xia Zhe's fist.
