Rebirth: Splendid Marriage in the 80s Chapter 2552 - 2488: Uneasy Feelings

So, since he can't strike at the Jiang Family just yet, surely the enemies would target those nearest to Ah Liu first?

Naturally, Cheng Cheng would become the prime target!

Cheng Cheng's identity has long been out in the open, as Ah Liu presented him to the Jiang Family as his adopted son, declaring their connection as profound as that of a real father and son.

Cheng Cheng had also visited the Alliance there. People can't help but see Ah Liu's return as the launch of his own faction, positioning Cheng Cheng as a major threat in many eyes.

She had only worried about the perils Ah Liu might encounter, never imagining Cheng Cheng could face danger too!

Upon this realization, Chiang Xiao genuinely started feeling restless.

She urgently asked Chen Yiping, "Doctor Chen, do you have anyone available there? Someone trustworthy!"

Chen Yiping paused briefly, uncertain about her intentions.

After pondering, he replied, "The Sixth Young Master left behind four bodyguards."

"Send them out immediately to inspect the path from the Cheng Cheng Society to the Jiang Family thoroughly, or intercept Cheng Cheng!"

Chiang Xiao couldn't explain her sudden resolve.

Maybe it stemmed from her faith in Cheng Cheng.

She was certain Cheng Cheng would make his way to the Jiang Family. Alliance folks wouldn't dare move carelessly; the easiest spot for an ambush was the road between the Cheng Cheng Society and the Jiang Family.

Thus, any plot against Cheng Cheng right now would most probably unfold en route!

With his mind set on arriving at the Jiang Family, Cheng Cheng might not stay as composed as usual.

Particularly as he neared the Jiang Family.

Emotions often waver in that final stretch before reaching a goal, be it heightened nerves or a touch of ease.

Chiang Xiao pieced together this reasoning and pressed Chen Yiping to deploy help at once.

"Ensure they leave no stone unturned!"

"Got it, I'll dispatch them now. Xiao Chiang, stay calm."

Chen Yiping was startled by Chiang Xiao's grave and frantic voice.

Why the sudden alarm out of nowhere?

Was Cheng Cheng truly in peril?

Chen Yiping swiftly obeyed, sending off the last four bodyguards.

The bodyguards hurried away, yet Chiang Xiao's unease lingered.

"That's not enough, Doctor Chen—could you join them? As a doctor, your presence would reassure me more."

Chiang Xiao often sensed her instincts were overly sharp, heightening her current jitters and inner turmoil.

She prayed her hunch proved wrong this time.

Chen Yiping blinked in surprise once more. "Xiao Chiang, do you suspect something bad has befallen Cheng Cheng?"

"Hopefully not, but my heart's racing with worry. Go verify he's safe, then ring me upon arrival—I'll stay right by the phone."

"Fine, heading out now." Chen Yiping caught her fretful vibe, abruptly hung up, and bolted outside.

Chiang Xiao circled the phone anxiously, nibbling her fingernail without thinking.

This wasn't her usual habit, only surfacing when she was deeply troubled.

She shared a profound tie with Cheng Cheng; she'd saved him by chance, helping him reunite with his real father, forging a brother-sister bond.

Though Chiang Xiao seldom spoke of Cheng Cheng, she truly saw him as a big brother deep down.

Aware he could be at risk, overwhelming anxiety gripped her.

So distant, she could only fret and hope for his safety.
