Rebirth: Splendid Marriage in the 80s Chapter 2369 - 2305: Let Wei Lengmian Handle It

Previously on Rebirth: Splendid Marriage in the 80s...
Chiang Xiao agreed to change her name to Chiang Xiao, retaining her given name while adopting the family surname for easier pronunciation, with Old Master Jiang's reluctant but supportive approval to prioritize her comfort. The family planned to update the records that night and handle her ID, student files, and accounts swiftly, ideally before her marriage to Meng Xinian. Old Master Jiang then approached Cheng Cheng by the pond, inquiring about his progress in the Third Alliance District, instructing him to address him as great-grandfather due to his sworn brotherhood with Chiang Xiao, and advising him to select a courtyard spot while reserving the best for her. Later, Chiang Xiao called Meng Xinian to share the name change decision; he endorsed it and recommended enlisting Old Meng to expedite the paperwork over involving the busy Chief Alliance Officer's wife.

"Fine, I'll head over to the Meng Family and seek Grandpa's assistance."

Chiang Xiao realized too that, while staying in the Capital City, visits to the Meng Family had been rare for her.

Even though grudges lingered toward Old Meng and his son, they remained Tyrant Meng's grandfather and father all the same.

She ought to at least check on Meng Chaojun's current condition health-wise.

"Sure. Little, next week I'm heading to the Enclosed Camp; it could be five days until I'm out, and reaching you won't be possible."

"Five days..." Though unhappiness stirred within Chiang Xiao, she knew alternatives were scarce and answered, "All right, I understand."

"That's my girl."

After hanging up, Meng Xinian let out an involuntary sigh.

The disappointment in Chiang Xiao's voice rang clear to him, yet options were truly limited.

Given his position, constant attachment to her or perpetual closeness wasn't feasible.

A strong feeling told him his name would definitely appear on the deployment roster for Ke Ku Li.

Thus, attending the Enclosed Camp for rigorous specialized drills was essential, ideally getting comfortable with weapons usable in Ke Ku Li or backed by them.

Besides, this conflict diverged sharply from prior assignments, demanding fresh skills and insights.

Yang Zhiqi entered, took a seat opposite him, and massaged his temples lightly.

"Word from the higher-ups is solid now. Supplies head to Ke Ku Li as aid, with teams accompanying; decisions on full units or picked squads remain in talks, likely wrapping up soon."

A meeting had occupied his day.

"No matter the result, tomorrow I depart for the Enclosed Camp," Meng Xinian stated steadily.

"You intend to join?"

"I'll go if selected."

"And Little?" Yang Zhiqi noticed his growing focus on Little lately.

Meng Xinian hesitated briefly before responding, "She'll get it. Naturally, watch over her in my absence, please."

Deep thanks filled him for summoning Sun Han and the rest beforehand; with companions near Chiang Xiao now, relief eased his mind a bit.

Something struck Meng Xinian abruptly, prompting his question: "Uncle Yang, ever heard of a guy named 'Second Master'? Thirties, marksman of rare talent."

Uncle Yang came out only outside Alliance business talks.

Such address signaled personal topics at hand.

Yang Zhiqi creased his brow, pondering deeply.

"Describe his looks?"

"Nothing standout in features, yet his bearing stands out oddly. From his posture and grip on firearms, Alliance experience seems likely."

Yang Zhiqi reflected further and offered, "Top-secret dossiers exist on those who exited the Alliance unusually; file a query to access them perhaps."

Meng Xinian gave a nod.

"What sparked this now?"

"Crossed paths with him in Country Y earlier; Little mentions his return home, eyeing her it appears, and now he's turned merchant."

"Turned to business? That's..." Unease gripped Yang Zhiqi.

Should Meng Xinian deploy to Ke Ku Li, vigilant guardianship over Chiang Xiao fell to him.

This issue...

"Wei Lengmian will handle the probe on him," Meng Xinian declared.

Director Wei's team could take on such an inquiry.

"Fine."

Yang Zhiqi trusted Wei Lengmian's prowess.

Target locked, escaping to harass Little would prove tough.

Unaware of their ongoing frets, Chiang Xiao proceeded.

With the day freed up, changing her name was next on her agenda.
