Rebirth: Splendid Marriage in the 80s

Chapter 1372: Chapter 1373: Want No Credit

Gong Xinhe and his team indeed did not wait until nightfall.

As dawn broke, Meng Xinian led them in.

By then, Zhao Xin and Dai Gang had just woken up.

They weren’t as fortunate as Meng Xinian; after waking, their minds were still foggy for a while. When they saw Chiang Xiao, they were still somewhat confused, feeling lost and unsure of their whereabouts, questioning if it was just another evening.

It took a while before they realized they were rescued.

”Sister-in-law saved you two all by herself!” With reddened eyes, Gong Xinhe punched Zhao Xin and Dai Gang in the chest.

When they saw Meng Xinian, the eyes of those dozen men moistened.

They had thought their chances were slim this time and had not expected Meng Xinian and his two companions were still alive!

But Gong Xinhe and his team knew very well, if not for Chiang Xiao, the outcome would have been entirely different.

During the flood resistance at Jiguan Village, Chiang Xiao had saved their lives, and now, she had saved them again.

They were not ones for eloquent words; instead, along with Zhao Xin, Dai Gang, and including Meng Xinian, everyone uniformly saluted Chiang Xiao.

No words were spoken.

Looking at them saluting in unison, Chiang Xiao’s eyes also warmed slightly, and following what Meng Xinian taught, she returned the salute precisely.

She wasn’t as great as they thought; after all, she came for Meng Xinian.

And yet, they were truly admirable and lovable.

From then on, Meng Xinian took charge of the situation, intending to transport all the artifacts back to our side.

Chiang Xiao was arranged by him to first escort Zhao Xin and Dai Gang back.

”Their physical conditions prevent them from continuing the mission, take them back and wait for me at the shelter,” Meng Xinian gently touched Chiang Xiao’s hair, saying, ”These antiques are ours, and we will take back every single piece.”

Chiang Xiao’s lips quivered slightly.

Transporting so many items without neighboring military noticing and ensuring none left behind was not an easy task.

And if they discovered what was happening, the ownership of these items would likely become a contentious issue.

In Meng Xinian’s view, there was nothing to dispute; he was the one who found the items, and they were ours, so naturally, he should take them first, regardless of which territory it was on.

”Actually, I...”

”Chiang Xiaoxiao.”

Before she could finish her sentence, Meng Xinian sternly interrupted her. He likely understood what she was about to say, so his tone was unexpectedly severe.

”This matter does not need your involvement, keep such thoughts to yourself, and don’t ever voice them, do you understand?”

Chiang Xiao had merely mentioned it subconsciously.

For them, it was a tough mission, but if she could act, everything would be easy, and she could ensure the safe transport of the items.

If Meng Xinian had a way to explain afterward.

This would, at least, ensure they faced no further dangers.

However, Meng Xinian unexpectedly displayed anger towards her.

”Answer me, did you understand?”

Chiang Xiao looked at him, ”I understood.”

Only then did Meng Xinian’s expression soften, saying, ”Go back, and be careful.”

He still trusted her skills.

Chiang Xiao then handed Zhao Xin and Dai Gang each a small bottle of potion.

At least to ensure they had the strength to follow her back.

Yang Zhiqi received Chiang Xiao’s call around noon.

He sprang up, his eyes reddened with emotion, and exclaimed, ”Found them? Rescued? Good, good, good! Good, good, good!”

Yang Zhiqi said ’good’ six times.
