Rebirth: Splendid Marriage in the 80s

Chapter 2428: Chapter 2364: Worried About Her

Chiang Xiao didn’t want to go to the living room.

She had just lost face, so why should she go back?

She could just let Meng Xinian do the talking. They’d keep themselves occupied anyway.

She waited in the room for quite a while before Meng Xinian returned, slightly damp, exuding a touch of allure.

Every time he finished bathing, Chiang Xiao felt an impulsive urge to throw herself at him.

That’s why she cared when that woman from the Long family was around their dormitory back then.

She simply didn’t want other women seeing him this sexy and fantasizing about him.

As soon as Meng Xinian entered, he closed the door and then proactively took off his shirt.

He had simply applied a piece of gauze.

Chiang Xiao walked up to him, her heart trembling at the sight of the approximately ten-centimeter gauze on his chest.

”How did this happen?”

She asked, reaching out to peel off the gauze. At a glance, she gasped sharply.

The gauze was ten centimeters, but the wound was about eight centimeters, a deep gash with flesh turned out, still oozing blood.

It seemed to be an injury sustained today.

”How exactly did this happen? Who hurt you?”

Chiang Xiao’s tone carried a hint of menace by her last question.

He was always getting hurt, always getting hurt!

No wonder he pushed off Ding Haijing’s challenge for a match so quickly earlier.

It turned out he came back with this wound.

”Met someone, followed him for a bit, and caught him,” Meng Xinian said offhandedly, ”He had a knife, and because a passerby suddenly appeared, I couldn’t avoid it—didn’t want to hurt anyone else.”

”It’s not easy for someone to slash you on the chest like that, right?”

Even if there was an accident and a passerby was there, it shouldn’t lead to someone slicing his chest.

This was a vital spot he’d usually protect.

Unless that person wasn’t ordinary.

While talking, Chiang Xiao took out medicine from the space, carefully disinfected him, applied medicinal powder, and finally taped the gauze and wrapped it with a bandage.

Meng Xinian hummed softly.

”That person made it to the outskirts of the Enclosed Camp.”

Being able to reach their Enclosed Camp meant the person was no average Joe.

And their sentries didn’t even notice.

If he hadn’t discovered it, the person would have infiltrated successfully.

”Then how would there be a passerby?”

Chiang Xiao was stunned for a moment.

Would there be passersby near the Enclosed Camp?

Meng Xinian replied, ”There was a recent rumor over there.” Meng Xinian sighed and said, ”It’s said someone found a gemstone in the nearby river, so many from Anbu Town went down to search the river for gemstones.”

As soon as Chiang Xiao heard this, she felt something was amiss.

”Someone deliberately spread that news, didn’t they?”

Leading people there gave an opportunity to sneak into the Enclosed Camp. Even if accidentally discovered, they could pretend to be townspeople searching for gemstones.

Meng Xinian nodded, ”I think so too.”

”Did you catch that person?”

”Caught him. I had Dai Gang take him to the camp. They’ll interrogate him thoroughly.”

Chiang Xiao looked at him, ”It’s illogical. You caught such a suspicious person and didn’t think of staying for interrogation? In a hurry to run back home?”

Unable to resist, Meng Xinian pinched her nose.

”Worried about you.”

How could he say that?

”I suspect that person is with Second Master. If they make a move over there, on your end...”

He worried that Second Master also had sights on Chiang Xiao.

That person could even injure him, which made him truly concerned whether Guan Tiezhu and the others could hold their own—after all, he hadn’t seen their skills firsthand.
