Rebirth: Splendid Marriage in the 80s Chapter 2415 - 2351: Just So Mentally Exhausting

Previously on Rebirth: Splendid Marriage in the 80s...
Chiang Xiao advised the ailing Chen Kaijin to seize assets from Deng Qingjiang's furniture city to fund a transfer to a major hospital, suspecting foul play in her terminal diagnosis and urging her to summon her sister for support. Motivated, Chen resolved to act rather than languish, while Ding Haijing later confirmed the cancer diagnosis to Chiang Xiao, who saw value in the impending chaos to pressure Deng further. Returning home, Chiang Xiao rallied her team—Ding Haijing, Guan Tiezhu, and Luo Yongsheng—explaining she needed only one guard and tasked them with surveilling a suspicious individual from the previous day at school, prompting Ding to propose involving Major General Wei for a thorough investigation.

"You mean Wei Yixi?"

Chiang Xiao paused in surprise for a second before posing the question. The name Wei Yixi had come up repeatedly in her ears; he's the kind of guy that even the haughty Tyrant Meng concedes beats him hands down in swimming.

Plus, when Chiang Xiao pondered Director Wei, she couldn't help but think Wei Yixi might really be something special.

"Exactly, Young Alliance Official Wei has connections that could help dig up info on this fellow."

"I’m not sure if the name he’s going by these days is his actual one." Chiang Xiao replied, "I’ll chat about it with Brother Xinian once he’s back. But for now, it’s not him I need you tailing—it’s another guy, Deng Qingjiang, who runs a major private enterprise in the Capital City. Oh, and that lady we ran into at District 3 Hospital today? She’s Deng Qingjiang’s spouse."

"Tail him?"

"That’s right."

Chiang Xiao shot a look at Ding Haijing.

This fellow wouldn’t start grilling her on the reasons for shadowing folks again, would he?

Truth be told, bodyguards who pry excessively can wear you out.

Luckily, Ding Haijing held back on questions this round and simply gave a nod.

It appeared he understood his boundaries.

"Get two folks on his trail, and rotate as needed. Handle the details yourselves. Who’s up for it? I want updates on everyone he encounters and his every move. If he heads out of the Capital City, shadow him right away."

Should Deng Qingjiang head back to D State, she’d reach out to Cheng Cheng there for possible backup.

Ah Liu already had plenty weighing on him, and she hated adding to his load or causing extra grief.

That’s why she planned to dispatch her own team to track him once more.

Ding Haijing eyed Luo Yongsheng and Guan Tiezhu, and while it looked like a query, it was obviously just assigning duties. "Old Guan, Old Luo, how about you both take this on?"

Guan Tiezhu and Luo Yongsheng showed no resistance; they nodded right along.

Chiang Xiao had no issue with it, so she gave the go-ahead.

"Fine, you two get ready and begin tailing Deng Qingjiang starting tomorrow. Pick up a couple of bicycles—they might prove useful at times—or would a vehicle work better?"

"No thanks, we’ll trail him a bit first and gauge the situation," Guan Tiezhu responded.

With that, the plan was locked in.

Chiang Xiao gained solid confidence from assigning those two to watch Deng Qingjiang.

After all, Deng Qingjiang wasn’t like Hu Xiangyong.

Regarding Hu Xiangyong, she remained uncertain about any remaining schemes he might have.

That evening, another call came in from Ah Liu.

Throughout the day, he’d been occupied with recognizing faces and mingling.

In a high-profile clan like theirs, particularly in D State, word spreading meant endless visitors bearing presents to pay respects and offer cheers.

"Dad, dealing with crowds daily and managing all that must drain you, so turn them down if you can."

Hearing his voice, Chiang Xiao sensed some worry creeping in.

Jiang Shiheng let out a light laugh and remarked, "I get it. But Little, this holds real weight. I pick up tons of details from folks’ faces and chats. It’s a fast track to grasping D State’s lay of the land. Sure, it wears me out, but it’s fascinating too."

Chiang Xiao found herself without a retort.

Perhaps her father was just cut out for this line of thing.

She’d never manage it, had no taste for it, saw it as needless fuss.

Yet he deemed it engaging.

"Whatever you do, prioritize your well-being. It hasn’t been long post-operation; don’t push too hard."
