Rebirth: Splendid Marriage in the 80s Chapter 2637 - 2573: Who Is the Traitor

With a final cry, he collapsed onto the ground, his body stilling almost instantly.

Witnessing this sudden turn of events, Xiao Zhou’s face drained of color. He immediately hoisted Chiang Xiao up, urging, "Sixth Young Master, we must get out of here now!"

"Sun, Sun Han..."

As he was being supported and hurried towards the beach, Chiang Xiao cast a frantic glance back at the small temple.

Sun Han, Sun Han was still inside...

Perhaps they were already in dire straits.

It was his own fault for agreeing to come here with Lu Shuangshuang, leading them into a trap that cost them their lives.

His memory still hadn’t fully returned, allowing Lu Shuangshuang to exploit a vulnerability and trap them.

He never could have imagined that within the Jiang Family’s own territory, Lu Shuangshuang could manage to replace everyone in the small temple, and they were all women.

Upon seeing that the temple was indeed filled with Senior Masters, they had let their guard down.

How could they have underestimated women?

Carried by Xiao Zhou, Chiang Xiao sprinted desperately towards the shoreline.

However, a searing pain shot through his head, like countless needles piercing his skull, and his vision swam, making it incredibly difficult to maintain speed.

From behind them, the women had already hitched up their skirts and were in hot pursuit.

Soon, the sound of additional footsteps joined the chase, rapidly closing the distance between them.

They had reached the beach, a place where running became an even greater challenge.

The pursuers were hot on their heels, drawing nearer with every stride.

The Senior Masters, having discarded their outer robes, were now clad in black and moved with astonishing speed across the sand, far outrunning Chiang Xiao and Xiao Zhou.

"Sixth Young Master, you run on ahead! I'll hold them back!"

Xiao Zhou released his grip on Chiang Xiao.

Knowing there was no time for hesitation, Chiang Xiao replied in a deep voice, "Be careful,"

before turning and pounding forward.

"Sixth Young Master, why bother exerting yourself? Better to come back with us. Our young lady is waiting for you."

Two men suddenly appeared from behind the rocks ahead, guns leveled directly at Chiang Xiao.

Chiang Xiao halted abruptly.

He felt his vitality ebbing away.

This had to be an ambush.

Otherwise, even with his memories in disarray, he wouldn’t exhibit such debilitating weakness. The surgery to relieve the pressure on his nerves should have prevented these symptoms.

When did this happen?

A surge of fury coursed through Chiang Xiao.

The only place he could have been ambushed was within the Jiang Family compound.

He hadn't consumed anything else after leaving; could it have happened before he departed, while still at the Jiang Family residence?

Ah Way, who met his end in the kitchen, still had an accomplice, someone who could access the kitchen and the food.

This was despite their thorough checks beforehand.

Someone within the Jiang Family was in league with the Lu Family.

But why? Why the Lu Family?

If they intended to ally with Lu Shuangshuang, why not simply arrange a marriage?

What was the true motive behind targeting him?

Watching the two men advance steadily, Chiang Xiao reached into his pocket, his fingers closing around a small bottle.

It was another item sent by Guan Tiezhu, entrusted to Chiang Xiao.

She had sent several small vials this time, each containing about two mouthfuls, making them easy to keep in a pocket.

The moment his hand touched the bottle, the two approaching men paused.

One of them scoffed, "Young Master, you don't seriously intend to resist, do you? Even if you have a gun, it's only one against our two. Let me tell you, while we're not ordered to kill you, the young lady said it's acceptable if you get injured. As long as you're alive, we can't promise we won't shoot your arms or legs. To avoid unnecessary pain, just drop the weapon and come with us."
