Rebirth: Splendid Marriage in the 80s Chapter 2670 - 2606: Give Her a Beating First

This seniority is just...

Chiang Xiao felt a bit speechless just thinking about it.

"Correct."

With Yue Yang’s confirmation, Chiang Xiao couldn’t help but furrow her brow as well.

This development truly caught her completely by surprise.

At this critical juncture, Lu Shuangshuang was actually lying low within the Jiang Family’s territory. One had to admit, that was quite a peculiar turn of events.

She recalled the kitchen incident from before; Sun Han had mentioned this Fourth Madam Jiang to her, stating that the kitchen’s supervisor, Ah Way, was Fourth Madam Jiang’s younger brother.

And now, it was Fourth Madam Jiang once more?

Could this be mere coincidence?

"Regardless of whose domain it is, our priority is to apprehend her first, and then we can discuss the details."

"Apprehend?"

Yue Yang seemed a little taken aback by her choice of words. "Lu Shuangshuang is claiming she was abducted. The Sixth Young Master’s intention is that once we locate her, we should treat it as a successful rescue."

"So, his plan is to go along with the fabricated story she presented and act according to her script?" Chiang Xiao curled her lips into a smirk.

"For the time being, yes. The Sixth Young Master has further strategies in motion."

Chiang Xiao shook her head, a decisive expression on her face.

"I understand my father’s intentions. Lu Shuangshuang is a woman, after all; he won’t personally take action against her, so he’ll likely redirect his focus towards Old Master Lu and the Lu Family later. However, I am not like my father. If I harbor resentment and have the opportunity for swift retribution, I will seize it. Whoever provokes me first will face my immediate retaliation."

She let out a cold, humorless laugh. "This entire mess originated with Lu Shuangshuang. She nearly endangered my father. Why should I adhere to the path she has laid out? Still pretend we were mounting a rescue? And then allow her to put on that fragile, pitiable act before everyone once more? In her wildest dreams, perhaps."

Yue Yang was momentarily taken aback by her fierce resolve.

"Then, what course of action does Miss intend to pursue?"

"Immediately dispatch your subordinates to seize Lu Shuangshuang and bring her directly to this location. I will administer a physical reprimand first, and only then will we engage in further discussion."

Administer a physical reprimand first, then discuss...

Physically reprimand Lu Shuangshuang?

This...

Yue Yang found himself somewhat at a loss for words at the unexpected proposal.

Chiang Xiao continued, "Alternatively, you may send someone to ascertain my father’s views, but I can assure you with absolute certainty that whatever I decide to do, he will undoubtedly give his full approval."

"Understood."

Yue Yang nodded without hesitation and promptly dispatched personnel to locate and capture Lu Shuangshuang.

Meanwhile, Lu Junyou was seated within the confines of a car, with Old Master Lu reclining beside him, his eyes closed in rest.

Lu Junyou gazed out the window, his expression dark and heavy with unspoken thoughts.

After a period of silence, Old Master Lu suddenly broke the quiet.

"Junyou, are you concerned about Shuangshuang’s well-being?"

Lu Junyou’s heart gave a slight jolt, and he immediately lowered his gaze slightly. "Shuangshuang has always been resourceful since childhood, and she is adept at concealing her whereabouts. She likely hasn't been able to relay her location to us yet. There shouldn't be any significant issues."

Ever since yesterday, the hospital and its surrounding areas had seemingly been under constant, intense surveillance. Any individual deemed suspicious by the opposing faction was promptly apprehended.

Jiang Shiheng had initiated his offensive.

This particular modus operandi was inconsistent with the typically cautious approach of Old Master Jiang.

Therefore, the responsibility had to fall upon Jiang Shiheng.

Their channels of communication with Lu Shuangshuang had been severed. Now, the outcome hinged entirely on which party located Lu Shuangshuang first.

Considering that this was the Jiang Family’s operational domain, the probability of the Jiang Family discovering her was significantly higher than their own.

If they were to instigate the Jiang Family’s forces into action, there was a distinct possibility that Jiang Shiheng might uncover some valuable clue.

Consequently, their current position was one of disadvantage.

"Mm, Shuangshuang possesses inherent cleverness, that is not the point of contention. However, that child still harbors lingering feelings for Jiang Liu. You are likely better aware of this than I am."

Old Master Lu sighed softly. "Were it not for her persistent attachment to Jiang Liu, she would not have implored us for this opportunity this time, insisting on taking matters into her own hands to see if it might yield results. This chance was something she fought hard to obtain for herself. Nonetheless, I have already made my position clear to her: if this endeavor proves unsuccessful this time, she must, from this point forward, completely relinquish all thoughts of Jiang Liu and dedicate herself to building a happy life with you."
