Rebirth: Splendid Marriage in the 80s Chapter 2403: 2339: Blood Was Drawn
Previously on Rebirth: Splendid Marriage in the 80s...
Revealing this to Li Hanzhong would pose a tremendous risk. The situation could easily spiral out of control.
No one can predict how greed might twist people's loyalties when faced with such immense wealth.
She had zero desire to gamble with family ties or human nature over something like this.
Without a doubt, doing so would turn her existence into utter turmoil.
“So you consented to letting him draw blood?” Ding Haijing creased his brow once more and advised, “It’s wiser to minimize your interactions with that individual.”
Upon hearing those words, Chiang Xiao recalled her plan to share some details about her circumstances with them earlier, though she realized she hadn’t actually done so.
Since they were still at the hospital, it wasn’t the right moment for a deep discussion, so she simply replied, “I get it. Still, should this guy show up near me again, please watch him closely.”
Ding Haijing shot her a look and abruptly grasped what she implied.
In truth, she was fully aware of the threat that man represented, wasn’t she?
After a brief pause, he responded, “Got it.”
Liu Guoying underwent a meticulous and detailed checkup, with the findings expedited for prompt delivery, arriving in no time at all.
“The tests for Teacher Liu came back completely normal; Miss Jiang, you can relax,” the director assured.
Chiang Xiao inquired, “What about that small puncture?”
“It’s definitely from a needle, and it looks like a sample of blood was extracted.”
Blood had been drawn...
Why on earth would someone want Liu Guoying’s blood?
At first, the clean bill of health brought Chiang Xiao a wave of relief, yet this revelation made her nerves tighten right back up.
“Director, if it was just a quick prick, how much blood could they possibly have gotten? Surely not sufficient for proper testing, is it?”
“Not always the case. Modern lab tech can analyze with just a minuscule amount.”
“Will this have any effect on the teacher’s well-being?”
“None whatsoever. Our full scan confirmed no foreign substances were introduced. Moreover, his blood pressure, lipids, sugar levels, and all other metrics are spot-on. For someone his age, these outcomes are impressively solid.”
The director had no clue that, once outside, Chiang Xiao had given Liu Guoying a serving of Spirit Spring Water to sip.
“Appreciate it, Director,” Chiang Xiao expressed, “Kindly keep what happened today under wraps.”
“Absolutely, no problem,” the director agreed with a nod.
Chiang Xiao departed the hospital alongside Liu Guoying and saw him safely back to the school grounds.
“Teacher, over the next few days, if anything feels off at all, notify me immediately. Don’t hold back, even if it’s minor. Understood?”
“Fine, fine, I’ve got it. You’re just eighteen—why fuss like you’re eighty-one?”
Chiang Xiao: “...”
Once she parted from the school and headed home, it wasn’t long until Wang Yi and Chen Yin dropped by.
The pair had grown quite attached lately, so their joint visit didn’t catch Chiang Xiao off guard.
Deep down, she suspected Wang Yi would ultimately choose to wed Chen Yin. He was, after all, the one she harbored real affection for. Once a woman resolves to transform, summoning the will to end things proves incredibly tough.
Yet this visit from Chen Yin involved some business with Chiang Xiao.
“Sister-in-law, recall Guo Zitong?”
Chiang Xiao drew a blank.
Wang Yi jogged her memory, “Think back to that art exhibit of yours and Teacher Liu’s, where the funds went toward constructing a school in Shitou Town? Ye Wanqing showed up with her crew, and the fellow next to her—he even said hello to Chen Yin then.”
