Zhao Liang was still trying to catch his breath. He stood in the courtyard and stammered, "Come… come with me quickly! Xia Zhe… Xia Zhe, he…"
When Qiao Mei heard that it was about Xia Zhe, she grabbed onto Zhao Liang's shoulder and asked, "What's wrong with Xia Zhe!"
She used so much strength that she almost crushed Zhao Liang's shoulder.
"Ouch! Be more gentle! Xia Zhe is fine… but he's looking for you. He said he'll call again in half an hour. Come with me quickly," Zhao Liang said in pain.
When Qiao Mei realized what she did, she immediately let go of Zhao Liang and gave him an embarrassed smile.
Zhao Liang did not have the time to care about the pain in his shoulder. Once Qiao Mei hopped on the vehicle, he rushed towards the brigade office. It was quite a distance away from Qiao Mei's house and it took them 20 minutes to get there.
Xia Zhe called up the brigade office at the agreed time.
