Rebirth: Splendid Marriage in the 80s

Chapter 2071: Chapter 2007: Can’t Delay Any Longer

But those two men completely ignored his screams and directly dragged him away.

Soon, a heart-wrenching scream from that man echoed outside.

The Bearded Man opened a bottle of wine, poured a glass, and gently swirled it around.

That damned guy, how dare he ruin his plans.

However, that woman had not shown any suspicious actions all night, just seemed to be a cautious woman; maybe it wasn’t her after all?

Meanwhile, Chiang Xiao kept running forward, deliberately choosing more complex areas to run through, just to avoid being caught.

She had no idea the driver uncle had helped her. After running for a bit and not noticing anyone chasing her, she finally stopped.

But when she stopped and looked around, she was a bit confused.

Are these alleys too complicated or what?

It is a residential area for sure, with heavy traces of everyday living. Many houses had coal briquettes piled at their doors, and some had racks with homemade sausages and meat hanging.

The alleys didn’t look particularly clean, and some homes even had dogs tied up out front.

The most important thing was that she noticed all these alleys looked alike. In her haste, she hadn’t paid attention and now found herself lost.

She was lost indeed.

However, eventually she would find her way out.

Chiang Xiao checked the time; it was just before eleven. She should still make it back in time, right?

At least she shook off the pursuers, and they shouldn’t suspect anything.

Chiang Xiao picked up her luggage and headed back.

Though she was lost, she at least knew the general direction, and by walking slowly while recalling, she could still make it out of this residential area.

Meanwhile, in the hospital.

Meng Xinian looked at Ah Liu, who was pale-faced, and couldn’t help but wipe his face, his expression darkening, as he turned to Chen Baoshen.

”Doctor Chen, does he have to have the surgery now?”

”Yes, it can’t be delayed any longer.” Chen Baoshen’s expression was also a bit grave. ”The crystal in his brain has shifted, pressing on the nerves. If we don’t operate, he’ll suffer unbearable headaches daily, extremely painful. Moreover, if the crystal shifts further, it increases the difficulty and risk of the surgery.”

”So when is the surgery? And who will perform it?”

”Xiao Chiang hasn’t returned yet. I’ll try to call my old friend and have him come back to the country immediately. It’s also not suitable for the Sixth Young Master to make long flights abroad now. As for the operating room, the hospital here will prepare it well. If we have Xiao Chiang’s medicine, the risk will significantly reduce.”

”I sent people to the airport to check on Little’s information.” Meng Xinian gritted his teeth.

He felt that Chiang Xiaoxiao should have returned already, that she would have rushed back for him. However, she still hadn’t appeared, and he had an uneasy premonition.

He sent Cheng Cheng to the airport to inquire, believing they would have news soon.

By noon, Cheng Cheng rushed back and found him in the hospital, looking somewhat unusual.

Meng Xinian saw this, and his heart skipped a beat.

”What’s going on?”

Cheng Cheng lowered his voice, ”I went to check the passenger information for flights returning from Country Y yesterday and today, and found another group also investigating.”

”Who? Who are they looking for?”

”It’s uncertain.”

Although uncertain, due to the series of unfortunate events these past few days, Cheng Cheng instinctively felt uneasy, suspecting they might also be looking for Chiang Xiao.
