Rebirth: Splendid Marriage in the 80s Chapter 2494 - 2430: Fight to the Death

In essence, the alias Hu Xiangyong actually belonged to a fugitive Director Wei had been pursuing in the past.

The fugitive had been under Director Wei's close surveillance but successfully evaded capture. Even though Director Wei was fully aware of the Hu Xiangyong identity and name, he chose to keep it under wraps, causing others to assume it remained a viable and safe persona without anyone's knowledge.

Consequently, that individual began adopting it.

"Thus, the Hu Xiangyong I aimed to apprehend years ago is most probably working for the Bearded Man now. He believes that after three years, I've stopped chasing down suspects. But for a man like Wei, it's always..."

Director Wei halted, his features remaining stoic, "Do or die."

Poof.

Chiang Xiao almost burst out laughing.

Given how Director Wei never drops a pursuit, it's no surprise that so many fear him.

Yet, this development benefits them greatly.

Does that suggest Director Wei will maintain strict surveillance on Hu Xiangyong?

Meng Xinian had originally planned to leverage his connections to nab the culprit, but now there's no need; without uttering a word, Hu Xiangyong has unwittingly positioned himself right in Director Wei's line of sight.

"Director Wei..."

Chiang Xiao started to speak, yet Director Wei cut in promptly, "Apologies, Wei must use the facilities briefly."

With those words, he marched into the house without awaiting their reply.

Observing his retreating figure, Chiang Xiao felt somewhat puzzled.

"Is Director Wei dealing with stomach troubles? He looks rather pressed."

Meng Xinian couldn't suppress a chuckle, leaned in close, and murmured a few words.

Upon listening, Chiang Xiao found herself speechless.

Ah, so that's the case.

Nevertheless, the tea she had brewed featured premium leaves infused with a touch of Spiritual Spring water, offering notable relief for digestive issues like those afflicting Director Wei.

"Brother Xinian, you said that during his time in Country Y, Hu Xiangyong was known as Second Master, which suggests that might be his genuine role, correct?"

"Indeed."

"So, does Second signify his position in the hierarchy, or could it be part of his real name?"

Meng Xinian's gaze shifted subtly, "Typically, it points to a rank more reliably."

"If it's about rank, is he the second among his family members, or perhaps the deputy leader in their organization? In the latter scenario, could there be a superior Boss directing him, meaning he answers to another?"

"That's a distinct possibility." Meng Xinian affirmed with a nod. "They undoubtedly wield power, yet we remain unclear on its scope, their allegiances, or the location of their headquarters."

Noticing Chiang Xiao's trace of concern, Meng Xinian gently patted her head and assured, "No need to hurry; I'll devise a method to counter him."

"What's your strategy?" This only heightened Chiang Xiao's anxiety, "That fellow initially sought to end your life; are you intending to walk right into his trap?"

The precision of that shooter's aim remains an unknown.

Meng Xinian responded, "I prefer not to stay entirely on the defensive. Rest easy, I've got a scheme in mind."

Chiang Xiao's lips parted briefly, but she held back further comments.

She ought not to question Tyrant Meng's skills excessively. His confidence implies he possesses solid backing. It's simply that the moment isn't ideal, with tasks accumulating and military constraints possibly limiting Tyrant Meng's options.

Thankfully, though, they now possess the Thousand Mile Talisman Diagram, proving invaluable regardless of the circumstances.

She needs to delve deeper into studying the Talisman Diagram and produce additional ones upon returning, allowing Meng Xinian to have them on hand for crucial moments.

In the meantime, Director Wei lingered inside for an extended period.
