Rebirth: Splendid Marriage in the 80s Chapter 2658 - 2594: First Time Entering the Jiang Family

"Give chase. With her, we are certain to locate Lu Shuangshuang." Jiang Shiheng stated with composure, his fingers absently caressing a jade bead.

"Understood."

"Furthermore, dispatch a report the moment the individuals dispatched to Pingzhou make their arrival known."

"Will do."

"That will be all. You are dismissed."

The middle-aged man inclined his head in acknowledgment.

Just then, a robust voice boomed from outside, "Who goes there? Reveal yourself!"

It was Sun Han’s distinctive cry!

The middle-aged man immediately stepped before Jiang Shiheng, his gaze fixed vigilantly upon the study door.

Jiang Shiheng rose to his feet.

If the newcomer were from the Jiang Family, Sun Han’s tone would not have carried such an edge of tension and seriousness.

Could it be an unauthorized entry?

Chiang Xiao had not anticipated Sun Han's heightened senses. She had merely slipped into the courtyard and inadvertently dislodged a stone, yet that was enough for him to detect her presence.

She marveled that Sun Han, having consumed a bottle and a half of Spirit Spring Water merely two days prior, possessed significantly enhanced hearing, even if he remained unaware of the extent himself.

She emerged from the shadows behind a large tree.

Sun Han's eyes immediately locked onto her.

Initially, he had not registered her as a woman.

As a precautionary measure to avoid alerting the Jiang Family, Chiang Xiao had adopted male attire, concealing her long hair within a hat.

Upon a closer inspection, however, he perceived the truth.

After all, a woman's physique is distinct from a man's, and Chiang Xiao's form was particularly noticeable.

"Who are you?"

Observing her lack of aggressive movement, Sun Han merely posed the question, maintaining his guard at the threshold, reluctant to yield his position.

Chiang Xiao felt a surge of relief and satisfaction at Sun Han’s keen awareness.

Her reconnaissance had led her to the correct courtyard after checking two others.

Tucking the brim of her hat lower, she advanced towards Sun Han.

As she drew nearer, Sun Han's apprehension intensified.

The area ahead was still dim; however, as she stepped into a pool of light, Sun Han detected a subtle familiarity in her outline.

Chiang Xiao halted directly before him, lifted her head, and nudged her mask down slightly, offering a small smile.

Sun Han’s eyes snapped wide open, and he nearly cried out in stunned disbelief, "Xiao…"

"Shhh!"

Chiang Xiao made a quieting gesture, her eyes darting around as she inquired, "Is there anyone else present?"

"No, only the Sixth Young Master… and his guards," Sun Han responded swiftly.

He was genuinely taken aback.

Although Chiang Xiao had conveyed her intention to visit the night before last, he had not anticipated her arrival so swiftly, nor her undertaking such a clandestine solo infiltration.

It was quite a revelation.

"Is my father inside?"

"The Sixth Young Master is in the study. Allow me to escort you."

Sun Han promptly guided her inward, discreetly signaling the other guards that no immediate threat was present and their concealment was unnecessary.

Reaching the study door, Sun Han executed a series of knocks.

"Sixth Young Master, a visitor awaits."

A visitor?

Jiang Shiheng's tension eased somewhat, a sudden realization dawning in his mind, and he instantly grasped her identity.

He moved swiftly from behind his desk, striding with purpose toward the door, and flung it open with haste.

The moment the door swung wide, an embrace enveloped him.

"Greetings, Sixth Young Master!"

A sprightly voice chirped.

A smile graced Jiang Shiheng’s features as he returned the embrace, his gaze lowering to meet her masked face, where only her gleeful eyes were visible.

In that instant, all his weariness seemed to dissipate.

"You impudent girl, you actually came as you promised!"

He drew her inside, released her, and gently removed her hat.
