Rebirth: Splendid Marriage in the 80s Chapter 2664 - 2600: Bring Her Back to Me
Previously on Rebirth: Splendid Marriage in the 80s...
"Just bring the person back, find a secure location for me to interrogate them later." Chiang Xiao blinked, then asked her father, "Dad, I learned some effective interrogation techniques from Brother Xinian. I can definitely make that woman spill the truth. But, are you saying that woman was one of those who targeted you this afternoon, right?"
If it was true, she certainly wouldn't show any leniency.
"Yes."
Jiang Shiheng gazed at her, "Are you certain?"
"I am. Just bring her to me."
With the Illusionary Talisman Diagram in hand, there was no way that woman could withhold the truth.
"Alright, then bring the person back," Jiang Shiheng instructed. "But be careful and act swiftly; try not to let anyone find out."
Otherwise, Lu Shuangshuang would undoubtedly make an appearance prematurely.
Yue Yang acknowledged, "Understood."
"Go now."
After Yue Yang departed, Chiang Xiao felt a surge of excitement. Provoked by Lu Shuangshuang and the Lu Family, she couldn't suppress the urge to retaliate.
Moreover, she also wished to gauge Jiang Shiheng's true feelings.
"Dad, after this incident, how many people within the Jiang Family harbor resentment towards the Lu Family for their actions? Have you and Grandpa taken notice of this?"
Seeing her bright, lively eyes, Jiang Shiheng's mood instantly improved.
Facing the current predicament, Chiang Xiao was clearly concerned for him, yet she showed no fear and was brimming with a fighting spirit. This aspect of Chiang Xiao filled him with immense satisfaction.
Had she been merely a delicate daughter, he wouldn't have been able to confide in her and would have had to shield her protectively.
Perhaps it was Chiang Xiao's forthright disposition that made him favor her even more.
After all, they hadn't spent much time together previously, and despite their blood relation, developing affection and spoiling her without a solid foundation seemed improbable.
"Of course, Dad and Grandpa are paying close attention to this matter, so you don't need to worry excessively."
Chiang Xiao pursed her lips. "How could I not worry? I heard from Sun Han that this entire ordeal occurred because there's a traitor within the Jiang Family, someone colluding with the Lu Family."
"Mm, that is indeed true. But, Little girl, do you have faith that Dad will certainly expose them?"
"Then how did Dad fall into the trap this time?"
Chiang Xiao's pointed question left Jiang Shiheng utterly speechless.
He found himself at a loss for words.
However, he was mentally prepared; ever since the incident involving Cheng Cheng, he knew that if anything were to happen to him, Chiang Xiao would bring it up repeatedly for a considerable period.
Perhaps because of this realization, everyone would exercise extreme caution moving forward, unwilling to let any further mishaps occur.
Old Master Jiang happened to enter at that moment and couldn't help but offer a bitter smile upon hearing Chiang Xiao's words.
Back when he had encouraged Jiang Shiheng to return, he had been confident that the Jiang Family could ensure his safety, preventing any recurrence of danger.
Who could have foreseen such heartless actions from within the Jiang Family?
He questioned if he had ever wronged them in any way.
The answer was no.
"Indeed, this incident has served as a stark reminder for both your grandpa and me. We will be far more vigilant in the future."
"Grandpa."
"By the way, your Grandpa Chen has some urgent family matters to attend to and might be returning to the Capital tomorrow. Little girl, would you prefer to stay a few more days, or would you like to head back with him tomorrow?"
Old Master Jiang did not wish to keep Chiang Xiao there against her will, but considering the current sensitive situation, remaining certainly carried risks. If Chen Baoshen were departing, and they could arrange an escort, it would be ideal if Chiang Xiao could return to the Capital with him.
