Chapter 1735 "Positioning" Seed
Qiao Mei sighed. She moved forward and hugged Xia Zhe as she said, "Those are just angry words. Don't worry and go on the mission. The children and I will be safe at home. After some time, I'll go back to our house in the capital and let the family take care of me. That way, you can feel more at ease and you don't have to worry about us."
Xia Zhe hugged Qiao Mei tightly and the two of them spent a tender and romantic night together. Qiao Mei woke up not long after falling asleep. She looked at Xia Zhe, who was still sleeping soundly, and tiptoed to the west room.
A long time ago, when Qiao Mei was extracting ginseng juice, she obtained a strange seed by accident. This seed looked like a clear and unblemished ruby. One day, Qiao Mei left this seed at home when she went to work in the factory. That day, she could actually sense the location and the state of the seed while she was at the factory office.
"My little darling, I'm depending on you this time." Qiao Mei found a flower pot and kept urging this seed to grow. After doing it more than 100 times, a bigger and clearer seed was produced. The connection between Qiao Mei and this seed became even stronger. Unfortunately, the seed was one of a kind. No matter how hard Qiao Mei tried, she could not produce a second one.

Qiao Mei then extracted more 10,000-year-old ginseng juice and kept it in a small bottle. In addition, she also produced a few 100,000-year-old ginsengs and extracted their essence before condensing it into one small pill.
Xia Zhe woke up at dawn and Qiao Mei watched him pack his luggage. After he was done, she took out the seed and said, "This is an amulet I requested from the temple master. It's a very powerful amulet and you must carry it with you at all times. I had wanted to string it on a necklace, but there's no time now. You can bring it around in this state."
"I... I'm going off," Xia Zhe said dully.
Qiao Mei sat on the brick bed with her back facing Xia Zhe and said in a choked voice, "Alright, be careful. We'll all wait for you to come back."
Xia Zhe went to take a look at Xia Fan and Xia Xing, who were still sleeping. Before he left, he looked at Qiao Mei's back reluctantly before leaving the house resolutely.
When Qiao Mei heard the sound of the main door closing, tears fell from her eyes. She did not know when they would meet again after this farewell. She could not help Xia Zhe with anything and could only hope that everything would go smoothly for him and that he could come back safe and sound.
Xia Zhe took his luggage and got into the car that the higher-ups had arranged for him. His eyes were then covered and he was sent to an unknown small village. He carried his bag and walked into a tiled house where there was a man and a woman sitting inside. The man looked to be in his 50s while the woman was only in her early 20s and looked very charming. However, Xia Zhe did not feel anything. After all, no other woman in the world was as beautiful as Qiao Mei.
"Hello, I'm your contact person, codenamed Vulture," the man said.
"Hello," Xia Zhe said as he put down his bag and shook hands with the man.
"This is your partner, codenamed Rose. Her current name is Su Rui. Your codename is Dark Night. Your current name is Fang Chen. I'll give you the details of your new identities in a while. I'll only say it once. Both of you must remember it well," Vulture said sternly.
