Chapter 1612: Chapter 1614: A Dull Pain
Cheng Cheng walked up to ng Xinian, wiped the sweat off his forehead, and asked, “Great Officer ng, did you need sothing from ?”
“Yes,” ng Xinian replied.
“If it’s about the Chiang Family, I won’t talk nonsense.” Cheng Cheng thought ng Xinian was referring to this. Chiang Xiao’s grandmother was pregnant at her age, which might seem disgraceful to so, but he didn’t think so.
Besides, he wasn’t one to gossip recklessly. How could he casually spread this around?
ng Xinian shook his head. “It’s not about that. You’re looking for Chiang Xiao because you want to find the person who once saved you, right?”
Hearing these words, Cheng Cheng’s eyes narrowed slightly.
ng Xinian actually knew about this.
What’s more, he only found out after Cheng Cheng started looking for Chiang Xiao. Could that an…
“The person who saved is actually Chiang Xiao?” Cheng Cheng imdiately guessed. “It’s her, isn’t it? Back when you were on a mission, sothing went wrong, and it was Chiang Xiao who stepped in, wasn’t it? The cave connected to the underground river…”
It was indeed him.
ng Xinian’s tone was flat. “I can tell you this much: the person who saved you is indeed Chiang Xiao. She also asked to tell you that she doesn’t want you to repay her. Let it go, and don’t bother looking for her.”
After learning this, ng Xinian imdiately understood why Cheng Cheng agreed to co over here—it was all because of Chiang Xiao.
But upon hearing this, Cheng Cheng beca a bit agitated. “You think I’ll let it go just because you said so? I’m Cheng Cheng. I’ve never owed anyone such a big favor before.”
“So, what are you going to do? Find Chiang Xiao and kneel down to knock your head three tis in front of her to thank her for saving your life?” ng Xinian’s lips curled into a mischievous smirk. “Chiang Xiao wouldn’t like that.”
“I wouldn’t kneel and knock my head so easily either.” Cheng Cheng gave him a look that said, Are you stupid?
“Then what do you plan to do?” ng Xinian asked.
“I’ll keep the debt of her saving my life right here,” Cheng Cheng said, lightly tapping his fist on his chest where his heart was. “But saying thank you to her in person is sothing I have to do. So, when she gets back, I hope you, Great Officer ng, can let see her.”
ng Xinian didn’t respond, turning to leave.
Suddenly, Cheng Cheng called out to him again. “Great Officer ng, I have another question. Yesterday at the Chiang Family’s house, the painting you took—who was in the painting? Are you looking for the person in it?”
Hearing this, ng Xinian spun around instantly.
He stared at Cheng Cheng, his eyes deep and unreadable. “Have you seen the person in the painting?”
Cheng Cheng smirked slightly. “Is that soone Chiang Xiao is trying to find? If it is, can I tell her directly?”
Clearly, he knew!
At the very least, he had seen soone who looked like the person in the painting!
Regardless, this was a lead!
ng Xinian gritted his teeth. “Chiang Xiao left this morning for a field trip. There’s no phone service in the area, and we can’t contact her!”
What kind of timing was that?
Cheng Cheng paused for a mont, then asked, “When will she return to school?”
“In half a month.”
Cheng Cheng let out a breath. “In half a month, we’ll need to prepare for the competition.”
By then, he wouldn’t have ti either.
ng Xinian stared at him intently and said, “So, why don’t you take to see that person first?”
Cheng Cheng looked back at him. “Can I trust you?”
“Which part of seems untrustworthy?” ng Xinian replied. “If you’re not convinced, we can spar again until you are.”
As he spoke, he interlocked his fingers, cracking each knuckle loudly.
Imdiately, Cheng Cheng felt the old pain from the punch he’d taken from ng Xinian not long ago starting to throb again on his cheek.
