Rebirth: Splendid Marriage in the 80s

Chapter 2577: Chapter 2513: Forced Open His Mouth

Chiang Xiao thought for a moment and then decided to tell him about today’s trip.

Meng Xinian was speechless upon hearing this, ”Just today you went for a run? If I hadn’t said I was coming back for dinner, you would have gone straight to D State, right?”

”Hehe.” Chiang Xiao could only pretend to be innocent and cute. He had previously told her it was best not to leave Capital City during this time, and as soon as he said it, she went out.

This was clearly treating his words as if they were just in one ear and out the other.

”You even bought a house?”

”Yeah, bought it, just fifty thousand bucks!” said Chiang Xiao.

Just fifty thousand bucks...

Meng Xinian was speechless.

With his wife being so good at making money, what should he say?

”No wonder I didn’t see Guan Tiezhu when I came back today. Did he go to D State?”

”I asked him to take some things to dad and Cheng Cheng, otherwise, I wouldn’t feel at ease.” Seeing that his face was still a bit dark, Chiang Xiao leaned over, stood on tiptoe, and kissed him on the forehead, ”Alright, don’t be mad, I didn’t get into any trouble, did I?”

”Just remember to take them along.”

Meng Xinian sighed.

Anyway, she already went and came back, what’s the use of saying anything now?

When the meal was ready, they invited Old Meng to join them. Old Meng still had a stern face; he was alright with Chiang Xiao, but his face turned as dark as Justice Bao’s when facing Meng Xinian.

Chiang Xiao held back her laughter.

”Little, if you have time from now on, come home more often, chat with this old man. This brat can pass the time on his own, you don’t need to be glued to him all the time.”

Upon hearing this, Meng Xinian’s face darkened too.

Is this what happens when you don’t listen to them, just thinking of adding trouble for him?

What does it mean not to be glued to him all the time?

”Let’s eat!” He passed a big piece of fish to Old Meng.

Of course, Little should be glued to him more often; what’s the point of chatting with the old man?

After dinner, they even drove Old Meng back.

”Come over for dinner tomorrow night, and the day after, go check on your dad at the hospital.” Just as they were leaving, Old Meng called out to them.

Seeing Meng Xinian’s face tense up again, Chiang Xiao quickly responded, ”Alright, Grandpa, we’ll come over tomorrow night.”

After getting in the car, Meng Xinian glanced at her, ”Didn’t you say you wanted to go to the movies tomorrow?”

”We can watch the movie in the afternoon and have dinner afterwards.”

No conflict.

D State.

After a whole night of interrogation, Sun Han and Cheng Cheng finally pried open the man’s mouth.

”It was Boss Du who sent me.”

Cheng Cheng, exuding a murderous aura, asked, ”Who is Boss Du?”

”Boss Du isn’t well-known in D State, but in Pingzhou he owns many casinos. He’s the behind-the-scenes boss; several subordinates act as the front-line bosses, with bigger names than him. Boss Du sent me to take orders... someone just told me to check if it was true that Cheng Cheng had no trouble in the banquet hall...”

The man’s face was beaten as swollen as a pig’s head, his eyes puffed up, and blood was dripping from the corner of his mouth, making his speech slurred and difficult.

But, he had been under the bright light all night, beaten all night, and subjected to their constant interrogation with all kinds of questions all night long. Any bizarre question they could think of was asked. If he didn’t answer, he’d get a punch, or they’d put ants on his body; and if he still didn’t answer, it could become worms, spiders, or leeches.

But amidst those questions were ones like what he had for lunch today, which he answered, and by answering many of these, he relaxed his guard and eventually couldn’t withstand answering the more important ones.
