Rebirth: Splendid Marriage in the 80s

Chapter 2561: Chapter 2497: The Fox’s Tail

Old Master Lu slowly lifted his eyelids and glanced at him.

”Surnamed Cheng, huh...” His voice dragged long. ”Xiao Sixth has been outside these years, pulling all sorts of people by his side; this habit must be corrected properly from now on.”

Cheng Cheng grinned broadly, revealing a set of white teeth, and said, ”Old Master Lu, you might be mistaken. My godfather has a keen eye and doesn’t look up to just anyone. The reason he accepts me as his godson is, first, because of my good looks, second, because of my skills, and third, and most importantly, because I have a good heart.”

So, does Cheng Cheng possess these three merits?

Old Master Lu’s face darkened.

”Are young people these days all so full of glib talk and lacking in proper conduct? One must see clearly who they are speaking to!” Old Master Lu was furious.

”Why bother arguing with the young, Old Master?” Jiang Shiheng gestured for Cheng Cheng to sit down, then added, ”Moreover, Cheng Cheng is not wrong, I mainly value his good heart.”

Fourth Master Jiang stood aside, worried that Old Master Lu might die of anger.

But Old Master Lu just let out a scoff and quickly changed the topic.

”Xiao Sixth, what are your plans next?”

Indeed, old ginger is spicier.

Perhaps, Old Master Lu’s previous displeasure could have been an act.

While Jiang Shiheng responded, Cheng Cheng subconsciously scanned everyone in the banquet hall.

Among these people, could there be a hidden devil?

Suddenly, he felt a gaze on him and immediately looked over.

He saw a shadow flash by the window.

The light from the window illuminated the person’s appearance.

It was a man in his thirties.

Cheng Cheng’s actions were noticed by Sun Han, who immediately retreated and rushed in that direction.

The man, caught by Cheng Cheng, was about to run, but as soon as he turned, he was blocked by Sun Han.

Without hesitation, Sun Han kicked him fiercely in the chest.

In these past few days at the Jiang Family, he had made a conscious effort to recognize all the bodyguards and helpers, but this man was unfamiliar, confirming he had never seen him before.

Sneakily peeking around outside the banquet hall, what was he looking at?

If there was no guilty conscience, why did he try to leave immediately when Cheng Cheng spotted him?

The man was almost knocked to the ground by Sun Han’s strong kick to his abdomen.

But he quickly steadied himself, throwing a punch at Sun Han, yet it was just a feint, and before delivering it fully, he turned and tried to run again.

Sun Han immediately chased after him.

Other bodyguards also noticed the commotion and gathered around.

The man seemed to be familiar with the Jiang Family’s surroundings, kicking a few pebbles from the stone path at them, using their distraction to turn and dash towards the kitchen.

”There’s a warehouse and a back door by the kitchen!” a bodyguard immediately shouted out.

Sun Han, much faster than the others, pursued him and rushed into the kitchen as well when the man did.

Chiang Xiao, at this time, was also speculating about the situation at the Jiang Family.

She just hoped that the other party would indeed not be able to resist checking on Cheng Cheng. As long as they exposed just a bit of their true nature, her father and Cheng Cheng should be able to catch them.

But in D State, life was indeed living on the edge.

So she didn’t hesitate, hanging up the phone, she entered the Space to draw Thousand Mile Talisman Diagrams.

The more of these Talisman Diagrams, the better.

Because each one is single-use, once used, it will be burned.

Therefore, if setting off tomorrow to visit various sites along the way, each site should have at least two, as they’ll be needed for the round trip.

When she heard the phone ring, it was already past ten at night.

Chiang Xiao had also drawn several Thousand Mile Talisman Diagrams and stored them away.
