Rebirth: Splendid Marriage in the 80s

Chapter 1348: Chapter 1349: Three People Go Missing

With death as a threat, what could she do?

”In fact, I want to know myself how long Chen Yin could hold out when I don’t see him and ignore him,” Wang Yi said, her tears beginning to fall.

Not many people in the Capital City actually knew about Chen Yin and Xu Yiqiu’s affair.

But the thought of how well Chen Yin had treated Xu Yiqiu back then, even better than he treated her, she felt a gash in her heart that she could never bridge.

It wasn’t that she didn’t love Chen Yin anymore.

It was just that her family was strongly opposed, and Chen Yin hadn’t given her enough confidence to struggle against her family for him.

So, she wanted to see how long Chen Yin could hold out.

”How long would he have to hold out for you to feel it’s okay?” Chiang Xiao asked.

Wang Yi bit her lower lip, thought for a while, and finally said, ”Give it another six months.”

Chiang Xiao sighed.

She didn’t know if Chen Yin could hold out for another six months.

Chen Yin was accustomed to Wang Yi being attentive to him, and the few times he treated her kindly, he would touch his own heart.

Like the first time she saw him, Chen Yin had carried chicken soup to the art studio for her.

In fact, he had only brought her chicken soup once, but there had been many times when Wang Yi had brought him breakfast.

She couldn’t help this couple out anymore these days.

Days slipped by.

One day in April, Chiang Xiao was doing her homework when suddenly her heart skipped a beat, followed by a strong sense of unease.

This anxiety prevented her from continuing her homework.

She stood up, startling Liu Guoying, who was teaching the class.

”What are you doing? It’s class time, sit down.”

”Teacher, I have an emergency and need to step out for a moment,” she said.

”What emergency? Whatever it is, it can wait until after class,” insisted Liu Guoying, who was still strict with her at school, treating her no differently than the other students in class, sometimes without any exceptions.

Knowing his temperament, Chiang Xiao quickly came up with an excuse, ”My stomach hurts, I must go to the restroom immediately.”

Liu Guoying could tell she was lying just by looking at her.

But he waved his hand anyway, ”Go and come back quickly!”

Though he was strict, he also understood his prized student; if it weren’t for something truly important, she wouldn’t suddenly ask to leave during class.

Chiang Xiao quickly packed her things and dashed out.

She ran home in one go, startling Ge Liutao, who was watering the plants.

”Little, what are you doing?”

”I need to make a phone call,” she replied.

Chiang Xiao hurried to the phone, dialed a number.

Yang Zhiqi, who was rubbing his forehead, was shocked by the sudden ringing of the telephone, and quickly picked it up, ”This is Yang Zhiqi!”

”Officer Yang, hello, this is Xiao Chiang, I’m Meng Xinian’s...”

Before she could finish, Yang Zhiqi stood up abruptly, ”Xiao Chiang? Did Xinian contact you?”

Chiang Xiao sensed something was off with that response, and her expression darkened as she asked back, ”Officer Yang, is Brother Xinian missing?”

”He...” Yang Zhiqi stopped himself, suddenly realizing something wasn’t right - how had this young girl coaxed information out of him? ”He’s been missing for three days now, including Zhao Xin and Dai Gang.”

”Three people?” Chiang Xiao’s heart sank heavily.

She had been feeling extremely uneasy just now, as if a hand had suddenly clutched her heart, making her feel suffocated and breathless.

Because she had felt this same unease when Meng Xinian had had an incident in the past, so her thoughts immediately turned to him.
