Rebirth: Splendid Marriage in the 80s Chapter 2435 - 2371: Don’t Waste Talent on Trivial Tasks

Have they managed to extract any information from the questioning yet? The outcome is still unknown to us.

Meng Xinian responded, "We haven't learned a great deal. That individual's mouth is sealed tight. Still, I anticipated as much. It's impossible to uncover much within a single day. Allow him to remain there for a few additional days at first."

"What if he's concealed poison in his tooth, and to evade the questioning, he bites it to end his life?"

"Pfft."

Meng Xinian couldn't suppress a sudden chuckle.

"Tell me, have you been reading too many wild stories, young lady? That sort of thing doesn't happen. The more capable someone is, the more they value their existence. He won't choose death so readily."

Chiang Xiao felt somewhat sheepish from his amusement.

"Regarding Hu Xiangyong, did Ding Haijing mention wanting Wei Yixi to look into it?"

"He mentioned it, and I consented."

"Huh?"

Meng Xinian cast a look her way and remarked, "What, did you assume I'd feel envious once more? I might not probe every detail alone. This involves your well-being. Do you believe I'd turn down assistance from others simply due to jealousy? Wei Yixi possesses knowledge of hidden matters that elude everyone else."

If Wei Yixi uncovers it, that would surely be ideal.

Chiang Xiao batted her eyes and commented, "I never labeled you a bottle of vinegar."

"Hmph, I'm not."

In her mind, Chiang Xiao quietly countered that it's unusual for him to avoid it; he typically doesn't.

"Oh, and I contacted Meng Sheng to dispatch someone for investigating Deng Qingjiang."

"Have him investigate?"

Chiang Xiao showed clear astonishment upon hearing that.

"Don't dismiss Meng Sheng's abilities. He possesses extensive connections across various circles in the Capital City. Moreover, deploying Guan Tiezhu and Luo Yongsheng to trail Deng Qingjiang would be excessive."

With Meng Sheng brought up, Chiang Xiao recalled a detail she ought to share with him.

"Incidentally, Brother Xinian, Meng Chaojun, er, I mean, Dad is hospitalized."

After voicing this, Chiang Xiao watched Meng Xinian closely and noticed his hands clench the steering wheel harder.

Evidently, he remains concerned for his father.

This isn't unexpected, given he has only two immediate family members remaining.

Thankfully, she hadn't ignored Meng Chaojun completely. If she had, beyond disappointing Old Meng and Meng Chaojun, the one she'd wrong most would be Meng Xinian.

"I was at the Meng Family by chance, and you'd suggested earlier that I alter my name and seek Grandpa's aid. Thus, I visited Grandpa and spotted the ambulance just in time. Dad had collapsed, so I accompanied him to the hospital and handled his admission. His health has declined further, and the physician indicated a need to revise the treatment approach. But rest assured, I've supplied him with modified Spiritual Spring Medicinal Water."

"I wasn't concerned in the least," Meng Xinian stated with a frosty expression, detachedly.

He appeared utterly indifferent to Meng Chaojun's state.

Chiang Xiao pursed her lips.

Simply refusing to admit it.

Yet, she chose not to call him out on it.

"It just hit me—I was meant to stop by the hospital to see him today."

Evidently, she held little regard for Meng Chaojun, forgetting to mention it promptly.

Chiang Xiao pondered inwardly for a second.

"A fellow like him won't perish so quickly," Meng Xinian supplemented.

"Right, right, he won't pass away anytime soon. Let him endure until ninety-nine, giving you the satisfaction of scorning him in the future."

Meng Xinian extended a hand to tweak her cheek.

This young woman was poking fun at him.

Nevertheless, he grasped Chiang Xiao's implication about modifying the potion's composition. She'd intervened to rescue Meng Chaojun.
