Rebirth: Splendid Marriage in the 80s Chapter 2668 - 2604: A Bit Excited

At this moment, Chiang Xiao jumped up with excitement.

"Were the culprits apprehended?"

"Yes, they’ve been captured."

"That’s wonderful! Where are they being held? Let’s head there immediately. Didn’t you mention this individual definitely knows Lu Shuangshuang’s location? We absolutely must get that information."

She was eager to uncover how Lu Shuangshuang was managing to stay hidden.

"Are we departing now?" Yue Yang inquired, looking at Jiang Shiheng.

Chiang Xiao swiftly interjected, "My father isn't going; he's recovering at home."

Jiang Shiheng: "..."

Had his daughter assumed control over him?

He had intended to question that woman about any knowledge she possessed concerning Lu Shuangshuang from the past.

But Chiang Xiao simply offered him a smile, stating, "Father, don’t forget, at this very moment, you are still a patient confined to bed with a fever. You need to appear somewhat delirious and incapable of moving; only then can your story be plausible to outsiders."

Correct, he needed to maintain the pretense of an incapacitated patient for now.

Jiang Shiheng sighed in resignation and watched as Chiang Xiao donned a hat and mask before departing with Yue Yang.

Once outside, Chiang Xiao instructed Yue Yang, "Uncle Yang, please exit through the main gate. I need to scale the wall again. We'll rendezvous by the pond outside."

With that, she swiftly moved towards the rear garden.

Yue Yang shook his head, a smile playing on his lips.

In D State, several secluded locations were naturally maintained for contingencies.

The very room where Butterfly was currently confined was one such place.

The area surrounding it was deserted, the structure appearing quite dilapidated. Its windows were small, resulting in poor illumination inside; it remained dim even during the brightest part of the day.

A musty odor permeated the air.

Being near the sea, it was damp.

Butterfly found herself bound at her wrists and ankles, seated in a corner.

While she bore no physical injuries, her hair was somewhat disheveled.

Yet, she couldn't comprehend the purpose of these people in holding her here after apprehending her.

Shouldn’t they be interrogating her without delay?

Butterfly had braced herself, mentally preparing to endure any torture or coercion, resolving to remain silent and never reveal Lu Shuangshuang’s whereabouts.

Just as she was steeling her resolve, the door creaked open, and a figure, silhouetted against the light, stepped in from the threshold.

She looked up, discerning only a slender frame. The individual wore a mask and a hat, leaving only their eyes visible.

Had they finally arrived?

Were they finally going to commence the interrogation?

Butterfly thought inwardly, Bring it on, I am ready.

Chiang Xiao advanced, turned, and secured the door with a bolt.

She then cast a glance at Butterfly, remained quiet, and moved to another side, closing the already diminutive window.

This action plunged the room into even deeper darkness, making it nearly impossible to discern the other occupant clearly.

A low-ceilinged dwelling, dim light, and a heavy silence.

Butterfly’s heart fluttered with apprehension.

"Who are you?"

She voiced her question, wondering what scheme was underway.

Were they truly intending to torture her, yet fearful of being observed, hence the tight closure of doors and windows?

Chiang Xiao let out a muffled chuckle beneath her mask.

So impatient?

Speaking first already signified a disadvantage.

However, she had no intention of engaging in psychological games with this woman; a direct approach was her preference.

Thus, she reached into her pocket, crumpled an Illusionary Talisman Diagram into a compact ball, and approached Butterfly. Without a word, she forcibly pried open the woman’s mouth and swiftly placed the small, balled-up Illusionary Talisman Diagram inside.

Butterfly gasped in shock.

Was she being drugged?
