Rebirth: Splendid Marriage in the 80s Chapter 2627: 2563: Dark Star Special Training Squad

Meng Xinian’s actions ceased momentarily.

Could it be that this person’s genuine identity had already been discovered?

Wei Yixi continued speaking, “However, the discoveries made are somewhat humorous. That individual, why did you go to such lengths to ask me? I had heard that Ding Haijing was situated right beside you.”

“Are you suggesting,” Meng Xinian pivoted to face him, his tone sharp, “that Ding Haijing would be aware of that person?”

Observing his immediate tenseness, Wei Yixi realized the misunderstanding and swiftly clarified, “Do not be alarmed. I am not implying Ding Haijing is associated with them, nor am I suggesting he is unreliable. I am merely pointing out that Ding Haijing and that individual hail from the same special training unit.”

“Which unit?”

“Dark Star. Have you encountered that name before?”

Dark Star?

Meng Xinian’s expression underwent a subtle shift.

“Back then, when you requested assistance in finding a place for Ding Haijing, you neglected to mention his affiliation with Dark Star.”

In truth, neither Chiang Xiao nor Ding Haijing himself were aware that Ding Haijing’s current proximity to Chiang Xiao as her bodyguard was a result of Wei Yixi’s arrangements. It was Wei Yixi who had prompted Meng Xinian to secure employment for Ding Haijing, having vouched for his integrity.

“Had I disclosed this information, would you still have considered him for the role? Although I must admit, I did not anticipate you would assign him as Chiang Xiao’s bodyguard.”

“How can you be certain that upon my return, I won’t dismiss him now that I possess this knowledge?”

“Even if you were to return, it would be well over two months from now,” Wei Yixi chuckled.

“Furthermore, I believe Ding Haijing is performing admirably as a bodyguard. What reason would you have for terminating his position?”

“Dark Star! He is actually from Dark Star! Are you implying that Hu Xiangyong is also an alumnus of Dark Star?”

“Precisely. I received a depiction from Chiang Xiao. Once Hu Xiangyong’s appearance lacked his beard, I was able to identify him. It is indeed him – the individual who absconded from Dark Star in the past.”

An escapee…

“The designation he used during his tenure at Dark Star was Jiang Shengyue.”

Jiang Shengyue.

Jiang Shengyue.

Meng Xinian repeated the name several times in his mind, yet it remained unfamiliar. However, by sheer coincidence, he shared the surname Jiang.

The Jiang family’s Jiang.

“Is this name his actual given name?”

“I have ongoing investigations into that matter. It is a possibility, though not a certainty.”

Meng Xinian’s countenance darkened. “Given that you have uncovered this much, why did you venture to Kuli?”

Wei Yixi found himself caught between amusement and exasperation.

Truly, he was the infamous troublemaker. These affairs were not his concern, and yet he was assisting with inquiries. Why should he be compelled to sacrifice his valuable time and jeopardized plans for matters that were not his own? Did another person’s existence solely serve his objectives, lacking inherent value otherwise? Moreover, even though he had departed, had he not delegated the continuing investigation to others?

“I have already delegated the follow-up to another individual. This person will establish contact with Chiang Xiao and convey all the information I’ve just shared with her. My uncle mentioned that Chiang Xiao is an exceptionally astute young woman; she will undoubtedly comprehend the necessary course of action.”

Having stated this, Wei Yixi proceeded to dry himself, exited the area, and donned his attire.

Meng Xinian, after rinsing the soap from his body, casually draped a towel and followed suit.

Should he return and attempt to meet with Little?

However, at this juncture, the eight of them were practically inseparable, sharing meals, living quarters, and travel. None among them were ordinary individuals. Any misstep on his part carried a significant probability of immediate detection.

With this realization, he was compelled to reluctantly abandon the notion.
