Rebirth: Splendid Marriage in the 80s

Chapter 907: Chapter 908 Her Intuition

Management wasn’t as strict in later generations.

She took the book from Chiang Xiao’s hands, looked it over, and then gave her a surprised glance.

”Isn’t this the one?”

Chiang Xiao opened the book to show her, ”This one is missing a few pages.”

The aunt quickly took the book, flipped through it carefully, and exclaimed with shock, ”What’s going on here? Who tore these out?”

”Not me.” Chiang Xiao immediately raised her hand.

She really hoped she wouldn’t be suspected of tearing it.

The aunt said, ”I know it’s not you.” She recognized Chiang Xiao, who was so pretty and often came to buy colored drawing paper and such. She seemed to come from a good family and was very polite, giving a very comfortable impression. She couldn’t believe that Chiang Xiao would tear up this book for no reason.

”Auntie, is there another copy?”

”No more, there were only two copies of this book. It was because of that row of bookshelves, I just put it in casually, thinking it would enrich the collection. I never expected it to sell, but today is really strange. Someone actually bought it... Classmate, just before a man also bought this book...”

At this point, the aunt paused, then slapped her forehead, ”Could it have been that person who tore it? He also asked me how many copies of the book were in stock, and I told him there were only two, one he bought and the one left which can’t be found anymore.”

Was it that man who tore it...

But why would he do that?

Chiang Xiao frowned.

She couldn’t quite say why she had become curious about this matter and that man’s book. Perhaps it was because she had always been subconsciously waiting for someone to discover the Nameless Ancient Tomb of Bai Gu Mountain.

The news broadcasts she had seen before had always felt like they did not tell the whole truth.

How exactly was the Nameless Ancient Tomb discovered, and why did Deng Qingjiang run back to Chiang Songhai because of the tomb?

And how did he come to connect with that old man? She remembered that when Deng Qingjiang said he would take her out, he had already shown signs of generosity, but after following him back, it was clear he didn’t remain generous for long.

Because in Deng Qingjiang’s initial way of life, she could see that he hadn’t lived well before,

Now, piecing together event by event, detail by detail, Chiang Xiao came to a conclusion that was yet to be confirmed.

Deng Qingjiang must have learned something about the Nameless Ancient Tomb first, used it to connect with that old man’s circle, and then felt secure enough to return to Siyang Village.

But why did he set his sights on her after returning?

The things she knew in her previous life were not the whole truth.

Her heart was full of questions, so when she saw the ”Annals of Huaming County,” her subconscious also wanted to know if it included any mention of Hundred Bone Mountain of Siyang Village.

Now, having discovered it indeed recorded some of the major mountains in Huaming County but was missing a few pages, her heart felt as if it was being gnawed by thousands of ants and she couldn’t settle down at all.

If she couldn’t find the content of the missing pages, she imagined she would be restless.

The bookstore aunt was angrily cursing the man, apparently convinced he was the one who tore it.

”That’s absolutely despicable. When he bought the book, I thought he was a very insightful man. To think he would rip pages out of a book! He already bought one copy; what was the point of tearing pages from this one? Really!”

Even though the aunt was furious, perhaps because the book was cheap, there wasn’t any attempt at a remedy, like calling someone to chase after the man. She just scolded him a few times.
