Rebirth: Splendid Marriage in the 80s Chapter 2527 - 2463: You’re No Match for Me

It seems that this specific method of testing will remain unknown and unpopular for many years to come.
Currently, countless instances of swapped children go entirely unnoticed.
Yet, Meng Xinian hit upon the idea instantly.
The moment he brought it up, she nodded her head firmly.
"Let's do it!"
There was little to lose; at the very worst, the results would simply confirm that she was indeed Chen Zhu’s own flesh and blood.
Once the decision was made, Chiang Xiao proceeded to gather samples, trimming Chen Zhu's hair and nails, and drawing blood.
"That is quite a large amount..."
"I want to be absolutely sure, so we will send these to two separate hospitals," explained Chiang Xiao.
Having both labs perform the analysis would allow them to compare the results for any discrepancies.
With the test underway, Chiang Xiao felt a sense of calm; they would have answers in a day or two at most.
She kept Chen Zhu confined within the study for the duration of the night.
Even though Meng Xinian was a deep sleeper, he remained vigilant, ready to pick up on the slightest movement should Chen Zhu regain consciousness.
Strangely, even by the next morning as they rose for breakfast, Chen Zhu remained in a deep slumber.
Could this unconscious state be lasting too long?
Feeling somewhat helpless, Chiang Xiao opted to feed her a small dose of Ganoderma-infused water—nothing more than standard water, of course—to ensure her physical health remained stable.
Using Spirit Spring Water was absolutely out of the question.
"We should take her with us to the hospital."
Their original plan was to leave her under Ding Haijing's watch, but given the uncertainty of what Chen Zhu might blurt out upon waking, it was too risky to have anyone else involved.
Chiang Xiao had just finished tucking Chen Zhu away into her Space when Ding Haijing showed up.
"Are you heading out?" Ding Haijing inquired.
Chiang Xiao looked at him, feeling puzzled.
"Ding Haijing, weren't you on shift duty yesterday? Why isn't Guan Tiezhu or Luo Yongsheng here instead?"
"I managed to get a great night's sleep; what is the matter, Xiao Chiang? Are you tired of seeing my face?"
Ding Haijing looked at her with a hint of sorrow.
Chiang Xiao was left entirely speechless.
Meng Xinian shot him a piercing look.
"She isn't looking at you."
Was he trying to tease his wife right in front of him? Had he grown too bold?
Ding Haijing stepped back a few paces immediately.
Damn, he had completely forgotten who was standing right there.
Meng Xinian let out a cold snort. "Have Guan Tiezhu handle the shift tomorrow."
Whether he had rested well or not was irrelevant; seeing him around Chiang Xiao every single day was becoming grating.
Ding Haijing offered a helpless smile.
"Alright."
How could he admit that he simply felt uneasy whenever he wasn't around her? She tended to draw trouble, making the situation seem perilous and unstable.
Even acknowledging the skills of Guan Tiezhu and Luo Yongsheng, he still felt their capabilities couldn't compare to his own.
Therefore, it was far more comforting for him to remain by her side.
"What about that woman from yesterday?" Ding Haijing asked, glancing around.
"She was moved elsewhere yesterday; if we require you to guard her, you will be informed," Meng Xinian replied coldly.
"Tell me, Officer Meng, why do I get the sense you are somewhat wary of me?" Ding Haijing raised an eyebrow. "So, when exactly are we going to spar?"
"You are reading too much into things." Meng Xinian took Chiang Xiao’s hand and began walking past him, then suddenly delivered a swift kick.
Thud.
Ding Haijing couldn't maintain his balance and hit the ground with a loud crash.
His perspective shifted, and as he looked up, he was greeted only by the vast sky.
He was unable to react for a brief moment.
"Is a spar really necessary?"
