Rebirth: Splendid Marriage in the 80s Chapter 2559: 2495: Targeting Him
Previously on Rebirth: Splendid Marriage in the 80s...
On that memorable day, the entire Jiang Family assembled at the entrance to receive him warmly, with even the wedded aunts hurrying back from afar. Red envelopes were then lavished upon everyone in a grand spectacle, skyrocketing the reputation of Sixth Young Master Jiang to dazzling new peaks following his triumphant return. When had the Jiang Family last pulsed with such vibrant energy?
This clearly demonstrates that Old Master Jiang continues to hold him in the highest esteem.
It strongly implies that he possesses genuine qualifications to succeed the Jiang Family.
Be it the Lu Family, the covert elements skulking inside the Jiang Family, or the perpetrators who injured him in the past, all three factions remain deeply unsettled.
Consequently, these groups are poised to launch their assaults.
Every move directed squarely at him.
Aiming to crush him brutally the instant he returns, eliminating an adopted son in one swift blow.
Any perceptive individual recognizes that Cheng Cheng's relocation to D State stems directly from initiatives by him or Old Master Jiang. His assignment here has been laid bare for all to witness.
By escorting him straight to the Jiang Family estate, Jiang Shiheng openly affirmed his status, inevitably offending certain parties.
Thus, this attack serves as vengeance against him and a chilling caution.
Particularly now that Cheng Cheng has settled in D State and forged ties with the Jiang Family, earning the moniker Young Master Cheng from numerous people.
Therefore, they seek to slay Young Master Cheng directly under the Jiang Family's watchful gaze.
Such malice is profoundly savage.
Cheng Cheng clenched his teeth and declared, “Godfather, this incident is truly my fault.”
Whatever tactics the adversaries employed, the root cause lies in his insufficient wariness.
Had he remained alert, he wouldn't have sped the vehicle so recklessly at that critical juncture, marking his first error.
His existence no longer belongs solely to himself.
He no longer stands alone in this world; any misfortune befalling him would plunge others into profound grief.
Hence, for their well-being, he must never act so recklessly again.
Should Meng Xinian learn of this, heaven knows how much contempt he would hold for him.
“From now on, exercise utmost caution and constant vigilance,” Jiang Shiheng offered little solace, his voice turning grave, “Prior to your transfer, I had already dissected the local dynamics with you. This posting is no less perilous than your prior missions, potentially spanning even greater durations—did that slip your mind? Persisting in such negligence means you should return at once; Little and I refuse to endure news of further accidents involving you.”
Cheng Cheng composed his features solemnly.
“Godfather, I'll remain here; there won't be any repeat occurrence.”
He had never foreseen enemies of such ferocity, with inescapable schemes and brazen cruelty.
This ordeal illuminated the truth for him crystal clear.
“Hmm.”
Jiang Shiheng turned to Chen Yiping, his demeanor softening slightly as he inquired, “How was Doctor Chen able to rally reinforcements so swiftly?”
Without Doctor Chen's intervention tonight...
Chen Yiping remained in a slight fog. Upon hearing Jiang Shiheng's question, he responded dazedly, “Sixth Young Master, Cheng Cheng, believe me or not, it was Chiang Xiao who instructed me to dispatch bodyguards to fetch Cheng Cheng…”
“What?”
Jiang Shiheng and Cheng Cheng alike found it hard to credit; had Chiang Xiao foreseen their intentions?
Yet that's inconceivable—if aware, she wouldn't have delayed the call until the last second, for even a brief hesitation that evening could have doomed Cheng Cheng.
Chen Yiping recounted the full sequence of events.
Upon digesting his account, their conviction deepened that she had started oblivious.
For it was only after Chen Yiping mentioned Cheng Cheng's overdue arrival that she sensed foul play.
Suddenly, Cheng Cheng recalled his submersion underwater, when Chiang Xiao inexplicably crossed his thoughts.
Might a telepathic bond exist between him and his sworn sister?
Or could Chiang Xiao possess wonders beyond all comprehension?
