Rebirth: Splendid Marriage in the 80s Chapter 2645 - 2581: A Premonition

Had the peace charm she meticulously created been utilized?

By whom, though?

Since the charm's origin was from her, shouldn't she have sensed something if it were truly broken?

Chiang Xiao's chopsticks halted mid-air.

Ding Haijing, noticing her pause, promptly inquired, "What's the matter?"

Chiang Xiao simply shook her head.

How could she possibly articulate the strangeness she felt?

Moreover, the sensation was rather elusive, difficult to pinpoint accurately, and perhaps even mistaken.

Yet, an undeniable sense of unease began to creep in.

Consequently, after a few hasty bites, she instructed their meal to be packed and declared it was time to depart.

Upon returning home, Chiang Xiao directed the others to finish eating in the dining room while she retreated to the living room to make a crucial phone call.

Only a select few individuals were in possession of her protective charms.

After a moment of reflection, her grandparents in City M were undoubtedly safe and sound, living their lives without incident.

Tyrant Meng...

They were still undergoing training and hadn't embarked on their journey to Country U yet, correct? So, they should be perfectly alright.

Her father, or perhaps Cheng Cheng!

Without further hesitation, Chiang Xiao dialed the Jiang family residence.

A bodyguard answered the call.

Even after Jiang Shiheng's departure, guards remained stationed at his estate. One of their duties was to ensure they didn't miss any calls from Chiang Xiao.

"Is this Little Miss?"

What an odd salutation to employ.

At this juncture, Chiang Xiao couldn't spare a thought for such trivialities. "Where is my father?"

"The Sixth Young Master departed two hours ago and has yet to return," the bodyguard replied.

As anticipated, he was out.

Two hours seemed like a standard duration...

Still, Chiang Xiao couldn't suppress her curiosity. "Did he take anyone with him?"

"Yes, the Sixth Young Master left only two individuals behind; he accompanied the rest."

A wave of relief washed over Chiang Xiao. She still advised, "Please send someone to the dock to meet him. I imagine he won't be out for much longer and should return shortly."

Alongside Lu Shuangshuang, she held the conviction that Jiang Shiheng would not prolong his excursion.

"Understood."

"They've gone out to sea. What's the weather forecast for D State today?"

"A fierce rain shower just passed, but it has stopped for now. The sky remains overcast, and another torrential downpour is expected soon."

Chiang Xiao gasped in surprise.

It was raining heavily in D State?

And what about the sea? The island?

Had Lu Shuangshuang intentionally chosen this inopportune time to extend the invitation, or was she oblivious to the impending weather?

"And my father and his companions..."

"Worry not, there's a small temple on the island where they can seek refuge from the rain."

"It would be best to send someone to meet them, and have my father contact me upon his return. I will be waiting at home for his call."

"Yes, ma'am."

The bodyguard ended the call, a slight shake of his head.

He perceived Little Miss's heightened concern.

He could discern, however, Chiang Xiao's particular interest in the Sixth Young Master.

Chiang Xiao then placed another call, this time to find Cheng Cheng.

"Are you alright?"

The moment he answered, Cheng Cheng was taken aback by her direct question, leaving him momentarily speechless.

"Honestly, sister, your anxieties are quite profound! I merely had a minor mishap once, and you felt the need to call solely to check on my well-being?"

"So, are you okay or not?"

"I'm perfectly fine, truly. I have a critical meeting this afternoon, so I must remain at the base and cannot venture out."

He, too, was unharmed.

A sigh of relief escaped Chiang Xiao as she proceeded to discuss Zhu Shun with him.

"It appears your network of contacts is impressively effective; even Crazy Zhu has willingly offered his assistance." Cheng Cheng, aware of Zhu Shun's assignment in Pingzhou, felt a sense of reassurance.

Pingzhou lay under the jurisdiction of the Lu Family, making infiltration a considerable challenge. While ordinary individuals could gain entry, establishing close proximity for the acquisition of vital intelligence would prove exceedingly difficult for anyone lacking significant influence.
