Rebirth: Splendid Marriage in the 80s

Chapter 3078: Chapter 3014: The Strange After the Interrogation

Ding Haijing sized up Jiang Xiao and saw that nothing seemed wrong with her; in fact she looked full of energy, and he couldn’t help letting out a breath of relief.

”You okay?”

”I’m fine, what could be wrong with me?”

”Where are those two?”

”Still locked in that storage room over there.”

”Is your porridge done?” Ding Haijing glanced at his watch; it was already past eight.

He did a quick calculation in his head and said, ”I’m guessing we don’t have time to eat porridge. We have to get them out of here right away, if you don’t want people showing up to investigate.”

”Who’d come investigate that fast?”

”Plenty of people could. You don’t want your place getting too lively, do you?”

”Of course not.” Jiang Xiao frowned, then immediately turned and went into the kitchen. She came back out carrying a bowl of plain congee. ”Actually the porridge’s been done for a while; I took the lid off and let it cool a bit. Hurry up and drink a bowl first.”

She was worried their bodies and minds hadn’t recovered yet; she had mixed some Spirit Spring Water into the porridge too. Anyway, better to get a bowl in them first, so they wouldn’t be running around busy for half the day with no chance to put anything in their stomachs.

Ding Haijing didn’t bother with anything else, took the bowl of porridge, and said to her, ”Go call Guan Tiezhu.”

Jiang Xiao ran into the living room; before she could even call out, Guan Tiezhu had already jumped to his feet. Seeing Jiang Xiao, he said a bit sheepishly, ”Sorry, Xiao Chiang, I overslept.”

”Come out and drink a bowl of porridge first.”

Jiang Xiao didn’t bother saying anything more to him.

Once they’d downed a bowl of plain porridge each, their previously empty stomachs felt warm, and they both perked up.

Except they still hadn’t showered, so their whole bodies still stank.

But that wasn’t something they could worry about right now.

”Have you decided? Are we sending both of them away, or what?” Ding Haijing and Guan Tiezhu both looked at her.

”And, have you already gotten everything you wanted to ask out of them?”

Jiang Xiao nodded. ”I’ve decided. Is it okay if I keep Deng Qingjiang for now?”

Ding Haijing shook his head. ”The key one is Mei Chunhong. Deng Qingjiang only went to Huchuan later, and he’s just been sticking by Mei Chunhong’s side the whole time, not doing anything himself. So to the people above he’s a nobody, easy to deal with.”

”But Xiao Chiang, what are you keeping him for?” Guan Tiezhu asked curiously.

Keeping someone like that, it’d be a pain for her to deal with him later.

Seeing Jiang Xiao press her lips together, clearly not wanting to spell it out, Ding Haijing helped her out by saying, ”It’s fine. If you want to keep him, then keep him for now. Once you feel you’ve asked everything and he’s no use anymore, I’ll have him taken away for you. Either way, he’s been with Mei Chunhong for a good stretch. If what Mei Chunhong confesses is enough to get her locked up for ten, eight years, Deng Qingjiang’s definitely looking at a year or two at least.”

Hearing him say that, Jiang Xiao finally let out a sigh of relief. That worked.

It really solved the issue she’d been worrying about.

”Then let’s send Mei Chunhong off first.”

”Okay. We’ll have Luo Yongsheng come over. Don’t stay home alone with Deng Qingjiang.”

Ding Haijing was still a bit worried, but once he saw the state Mei Chunhong and Deng Qingjiang were in, he was speechless.

The two of them were completely out cold.

”They’re unconscious?”

”Didn’t they say they hadn’t eaten for days before? Maybe they fainted from hunger?” Jiang Xiao looked all innocent.

Ding Haijing gave her a long, deep look.

He decided not to call her out on it—like, why was it that everyone she interrogated alone ended up like this in the end.

And when they woke up, they were always dazed and wooden.
