Rebirth: Splendid Marriage in the 80s

Chapter 3080: Chapter 3016: You Can’t Stop at Danger

Moreover, Shi Xiaoching might have something that the Dragon King wants.

As long as she hides that item well, the Dragon King’s people won’t take her life for now, at least until they force her to reveal the whereabouts of that item.

So now Jiang Xiao hopes that Shi Xiaoching keeps that item well hidden; although it’s the cause of her troubles, it also serves as a shield for her survival.

Before that, she must also strive to find Shi Xiaoching as soon as possible.

Ding Haijing said, ”What clues have you uncovered? Tell us, our main focus now should be on finding Shi Xiaoching’s whereabouts, right?”

Jiang Xiao gave him a thumbs-up.

She really wants to praise him.

Without her saying anything, Ding Haijing already knows what the next step is.

Last night she listed several key points related to Shi Xiaoching, making a note of them on a piece of paper.

She took out the paper and handed it to Ding Haijing.

Ding Haijing glanced at it and pointed to one of the entries.

There Jiang Xiao had written, Old Master Lu’s trusted aide, Old Shi. Shi Xiaoching.

She circled the two ”Shi” characters.

Ding Haijing noticed this and raised his eyebrows, asking, ”You don’t suspect these two people are related, do you?”

Jiang Xiao let out a breath and sighed, ”Honestly, I don’t know. But I just feel...”

Her words weren’t finished when Ding Haijing confidently told her, ”I think your intuition is right.”

”Huh?”

”I mean, these two might really have a connection.” Ding Haijing pointed to his head, saying, ”Because I have the same feeling.”

His intuition is truly unique!

Jiang Xiao’s eyes widened.

Since he thinks the same way, it means that Shi Xiaoching’s surname might really be related to Old Shi’s surname, and it’s not just a coincidence that they both have the same surname.

”Then let’s investigate this Old Shi first.” Ding Haijing said, ”Old Shi is in Pingzhou, right? Zhu Shun is also in Pingzhou, isn’t he?”

”Ah, Zhu Shun!” Jiang Xiao jumped up, ”I planned to contact Zhu Shun today and tell him not to look into anything for now!”

”Why tell Zhu Shun not to investigate?” Ding Haijing was momentarily stunned.

”Because Boss Du is too cunning, I’m afraid Zhu Shun working for him could easily be exposed, so for his safety, let’s pause the investigation for now.”

Ding Haijing chuckled.

He looked at Jiang Xiao with a slight urge to reach out and ruffle her hair.

She had said she would pay Zhu Shun, which means she had actually hired Zhu Shun to help her investigate, but now that she’s so concerned for Zhu Shun, it shows that anyone she recognizes is truly important to her, and she prioritizes their safety.

Such a girl is somewhat contradictory; she can be ruthless and show no mercy to those who wrong her, yet she is very kind to those she truly cares about.

He knows how much she wants to find Shi Xiaoching’s whereabouts.

But if it would put Zhu Shun in danger, she would definitely refuse.

”I feel like having only Zhu Shun over in Pingzhou isn’t enough, given that we’ve identified Old Master Lu and his aide Old Shi, it indicates that their backing might be far beyond what we estimated.”

Ding Haijing said, ”The danger in Pingzhou is indeed substantial, but you can’t just stop investigating because of that, can you? If you stop because of danger, then there are many things you should never try to uncover.”

Just like this time, he and Guan Tiezhu encountered danger and didn’t even mention it to her.
