Rebirth: Splendid Marriage in the 80s

Chapter 3071: Chapter 3007: What Was Taken

”Who? Who went after her?”

”Long, Long’s people.”

Dragon King!

Jiang Xiao heard this name once again.

Did Dragon King’s men go after Red Bean?

”Why do Dragon King’s people want to kill Red Bean? Do you know Dragon King? Do you know his real name?”

Perhaps she asked too many questions at once, so Mei Chunhong was unsure where to start answering. Jiang Xiao had to ask one question at a time.

Mei Chunhong hung her head as she answered her questions.

”At first, I didn’t know Red Bean had any connection with Dragon King’s people. If I had known, I would definitely not have taken Red Bean in. Later, Dragon King’s people found Hongfeng Welfare Institute, and Red Bean wanted to escape. Those people locked her in an empty room and tried to burn her to death, but somehow Red Bean escaped, and the fire started...”

Mei Chunhong’s words were a bit muddled, but Jiang Xiao could roughly piece together their meaning.

What she didn’t understand was why Dragon King’s people were after Shi Xiaoching and wanted to kill her.

Could it be that Shi Xiaoching knew some secret about Dragon King?

What if Shi Xiaoching used to be one of Dragon King’s men?

Thinking of this, Jiang Xiao couldn’t help but feel a bit heavy-hearted.

If Shi Xiaoching was one of Dragon King’s people, perhaps she did something to hurt Jiang Shiheng back then, which is why she said those words to him.

One day, realizing she had done something to wrong him...

Jiang Xiao took a deep breath.

Then she listened as Mei Chunhong continued.

”Red Bean has something in her possession that Dragon King wants, she stole it.”

Mei Chunhong’s words truly shocked Jiang Xiao.

Shi Xiaoching stole something Dragon King wanted?

In that case, why would Dragon King’s people want her dead? Wouldn’t they demand the whereabouts of the item? Or have they already retrieved it and now want to kill Shi Xiaoching to silence her?

”Do you know what the item is?” Jiang Xiao asked in a solemn voice.

”I don’t know, but I asked Red Bean where the item was, and Red Bean said she lost it a long time ago. She said she didn’t know what it was, so she didn’t think it was important, and once accidentally lost it in the mountains.”

”I don’t believe what Red Bean said. I kept Red Bean because there’s a Second Master who really likes her, but Red Bean is always fiercely resistant to him. Second Master is reluctant to kill her, so he asked me to keep Red Bean and encourage her to come around. Once Red Bean understood, she’d be sent to him.”

”Who is the Second Master?”

”Huchuan’s underground forces’ Second Master. He also has connections with Dragon King’s people. Later, you could say we were all working for Dragon King. Dragon King told us to find those with innate talents and extraordinary skills, and we’ve been searching ever since.”

”So you’re just a pawn of Dragon King.”

Jiang Xiao sneered.

She had already guessed that Mei Chunhong was connected to the research lab, but she didn’t imagine her position to be even lower than she had thought.

Even someone like Mei Chunhong didn’t know who Dragon King was.

”Where is that Second Master now?”

”He’s been caught. He’s done too many bad things, and this time being caught means he’s unlikely to be saved.”

”Did Dragon King’s people ever capture Red Bean, do you know?”

”No, I really don’t know, but I think they will definitely catch Red Bean. They have many people looking for her. Where can Red Bean hide?”

Upon hearing this, Jiang Xiao’s heart burned.

Dragon King’s people have been looking for Shi Xiaoching for such a long time. Could it be that Shi Xiaoching has already been captured by them?
