Rebirth: Splendid Marriage in the 80s

Chapter 2828: Chapter 2764: You Should Blame Me

”If there’s blame to be had, it should be on me,” Ding Haijing said.

Jiang Xiao was startled, ”Blame you? Why blame you? What’s this got to do with you?”

”Of course it’s related,” Ding Haijing replied, ”It’s because I told you earlier that Hu Xiangyong would be wary in the Capital City, so you felt at ease.”

If he hadn’t said that, Jiang Xiao might have been more cautious of Hu Xiangyong. So Ding Haijing felt that if there’s blame, it might as well be on him.

Jiang Xiao shook her head.

”That’s not the way to put it. Forget it, blaming anyone now is pointless.”

The matter had already happened and passed. What was the use of dwelling on who was to blame?

”You deliberately led their people to kill Hu, didn’t you?” Ding Haijing asked in a lowered tone.

Jiang Xiao pressed her lips together, not answering directly but said, ”Hu Xiangyong can no longer be left alive.”

At that time, Ding Haijing might not have heard what Hu Xiangyong said to her alone.

She was actually worried that Ding Haijing and the others might have heard what Hu Xiangyong said, which was why she needed to get close to Hu Xiangyong.

Hu Xiangyong’s words about her saving Meng Xinian, saying things like rescuing him right under many people’s noses, if heard by others, would raise suspicions. Especially with Ding Haijing, he might also deduce something.

Therefore, she had to get close to Hu Xiangyong and stop him from saying things everyone would know.

However, later Ding Haijing did take away the explosives, perhaps he really didn’t hear clearly what Hu Xiangyong said.

Of course, she didn’t want anyone to know her secrets; it was enough that Meng Xinian knew.

”But your courage is really incredible.”

”Didn’t you say the people from Dark Star would only act against Hu Xiangyong and his crew?”

But Hu Xiangyong’s earlier notion was for her to expose her special ability and then be taken away by people from Dark Star along with him.

She’s not part of that organization, why would they take her away too?

”Well, if there’s good potential, they’d certainly hope to include it in Dark Star,” Ding Haijing said, glancing at her, ”Why? They won’t be interested in your potion paintings.”

Jiang Xiao hummed.

She didn’t elaborate.

If it’s just the potion paintings, people from Dark Star wouldn’t be interested.

But if her Magic Brush and Space were exposed, how could they not be interested?

So, she must protect her secrets well, they absolutely must not be exposed.

Liu Guoying was wheeled out, and they stopped discussing further.

”Teacher, doctor, how is my teacher?” Jiang Xiao hurriedly stepped forward.

”He was injected with some nerve-paralyzing drug, not a major issue, the effect will wear off with time,” the doctor said.

Hearing the doctor say the same, Jiang Xiao’s heart finally settled.

Though not being able to move for two days was a great inconvenience, relatively speaking, there was no life hazard, and his legs were preserved, which was already a blessing.

”How long will it take to recover?”

”The drug effect isn’t very strong, maybe a few hours to recover,” the doctor stated.

Jiang Xiao was taken aback.

Previously Hu Xiangyong mentioned it would take two days to recover, but how come with the doctor, it was just a few hours?

However, she recalled the two bottles of potion she had given Liu Guoying earlier.

It seemed the potion had taken effect.

At this moment, she truly breathed a sigh of relief.
