Rebirth: Splendid Marriage in the 80s

Chapter 2431: Chapter 2367: Absolutely Not

Chiang Xiao recounted the events to him in great detail.

Meng Xinian frowned and said, ”Do not agree to anything, and definitely don’t agree to paint that picture.”

”If I don’t agree, won’t he suspect something?”

”Isn’t he already suspicious now? If that’s the case, why give him more reason to suspect?” Meng Xinian said, ”He’s asking you to paint that picture so he can find traces in it to see if you’ve seen that scene before.”

”You can tell from that?” Chiang Xiao was taken aback.

Meng Xinian nodded and explained, ”Scenery seen firsthand differs greatly from that which is merely copied from a picture, at least to someone particularly perceptive. If you’re unaware of his intentions, you might unconsciously depict certain details as you’ve personally seen them, rather than how they’re shown in the photo. If he detects this, he’ll know you were at that location that night.”

Chiang Xiao was dumbfounded, unable to process this for a while.

Can it really work like that?

She had initially suspected that Hu Xiangyong merely wanted to abruptly show her the photo and observe her instantaneous reaction to determine whether she had visited the location in the picture.

But she hadn’t considered the reason Meng Xinian had mentioned.

If it’s truly like this, then Hu Xiangyong is indeed terrifying.

Thinking about how this man still wants to kill Meng Xinian and could attack him again at any time, fear turned to anger in Chiang Xiao as she gritted her teeth, saying to Meng Xinian, ”Brother Xinian, how about I...”

Before she could finish, Meng Xinian interrupted her.

”Don’t even think about it.”

How could he not know what she meant?

Bring Hu Xiangyong into the Space and eliminate him.

But not to mention that they didn’t fully understand Hu Xiangyong’s background, what if he also possessed some kind of extraordinary treasure, just like hers?

What if they failed to eliminate him and instead exposed all their trump cards to him?

Also, he didn’t want her to stain her Space with death.

He didn’t want such a shadow in her mind.

Therefore, he wouldn’t agree to this plan.

”You just need to be careful, protect yourself, and no matter where you go, promise me you’ll take them with you. I will uncover his background.”

How could he let her resort to murder when it’s a matter he should handle?

”And take them with me?”

Chiang Xiao was about to say she had already sent Guan Tiezhu and Luo Yongsheng to follow Deng Qingjiang when Meng Xinian explained further, ”I’ll find two more people for you, let them follow Deng Qingjiang, while Guan Tiezhu and Luo Yongsheng should take turns with Ding Haijing accompanying you. You must always have two people by your side.”

Only then would he feel at ease.

Chiang Xiao hesitated, ”Find two more people?”

”Be good, listen. It’s not like we can’t afford to hire people; your safety is the most important, isn’t it?”

Chiang Xiao had no choice but to agree.

That night, Meng Xinian didn’t dare to make any rash moves, even though the wound didn’t hurt, Chiang Xiao wouldn’t let him make large movements fearing the injury would reopen.

Though the medicine and Pain-Relief Talisman Diagram could numb the pain and speed up healing, it was still a real wound on the body.

Could it be overlooked just because it wasn’t painful?

That night, she brought Meng Xinian into the Space to sleep, drank a few glasses of Spring Water, got a good night’s sleep, and by the next morning, his wound had already scabbed over.
