Rebirth: Splendid Marriage in the 80s Chapter 2630 - 2566: Their Nemesis

Within that container lay two magnificent Ginseng roots, appearing absolutely top‑tier. The instant the lid was lifted, the potent aroma of Ginseng permeated the air, piercing their senses and immediately invigorating their spirits.

"These are my prized possessions. I daresay finding more Ginseng comparable to these two will prove exceptionally difficult," Chiang Xiao remarked, her eyes blinking. "Looking back, I certainly undercharged for my medicinal paintings. Even now, I seldom accept commissions. If the price is high, people might accuse me of being greedy, but if it's too low, I feel taken advantage of."

Ding Haijing gazed intently at the two Ginseng roots.

He could perceive the potent, slowly diffusing medicinal fragrance emanating from them, a scent that truly served to revitalize him.

Consequently, he concurred that these Ginseng roots were indeed worthy of being called treasures.

So, Chiang Xiao possessed such items; it was no wonder she could consistently concoct various Potions.

The delicate rootlets on these two Ginsengs were noticeably sparse; she must have utilized a portion of them.

Therefore, did Hu Xiangyong harbor suspicions about her?

On this matter, Chiang Xiao found it inconvenient to offer any clarification.

Was she expected to admit she had resources akin to two 'Bao Shan' (treasure mountains)?

If such a revelation were to occur, merely possessing a jade disc could be construed as incriminating evidence; one could only speculate about the potential repercussions.

Furthermore, Hu Xiangyong held no significance for her. By what right should she feel obligated to explain herself thoroughly to him simply because he appeared at her doorstep?

"So, that's the situation," Ding Haijing stated, feeling he had grasped the entirety of it.

"Precisely. It's likely that Hu Xiangyong doubts my ability to create medicinal paintings. He suspects something extraordinary about me, which is why he desires to obtain my blood for some form of research..."

"Be cautious," Ding Haijing interrupted her abruptly, his tone grave. "Do not allow him to take your blood. Regardless of whether you possess unique qualities, being targeted by an individual of his caliber is undeniably perilous."

"I am aware. I have no intention whatsoever of letting anyone procure my blood for their research. However, I do sense that Hu Xiangyong and his associates seem to be apprehensive about something in this vicinity, as if they are hesitant to act rashly."

Ding Haijing offered a smile.

"Now that you mention it, I understand the underlying reason."

"You do?"

"Indeed. In the Capital City, they possess a natural adversary."

"Huh?"

A natural adversary?

What could that possibly signify?

A sudden realization dawned upon Chiang Xiao, and she instantly grasped his meaning.

"You're referring to that elite special operations unit, the cream of the crop, responsible for eliminating them, which is stationed in the Capital City?"

"Mm."

So that was it!

Chiang Xiao felt an immediate sense of clarity, as if the oppressive clouds had parted to reveal the bright sky.

If an organization operated illegally and its existence posed a threat to the Alliance's authority and stability, then naturally, it warranted dissolution. Governing such a vast Alliance was no simple undertaking, and their path of administration likely involved constant exploration, perhaps employing methods beyond the comprehension of ordinary individuals.

Thus, the Alliance maintained such a specialized unit.

They were based in the Capital City.

The type of laboratory Hu Xiangyong was affiliated with was precisely the kind the Alliance aimed to eradicate. The Alliance's power was evidently superior, compelling Hu Xiangyong and his cohort to tread carefully within the Capital City, fearing detection by this special operations unit.

That was the reason, the underlying cause!

With this understanding, Chiang Xiao's spirits soared immediately. She let out a few peals of laughter. "Merely knowing that those individuals also have a natural enemy brings me immense joy. Ding Haijing, let's go out for a celebratory feast tonight. Invite Luo Yongsheng and Guan Tiezhu, and the others!"

Who knew when the formidable Meng would come to grasp all of this.
