Number seven!
Unexpectedly, it was so easy to find out.
But then again, things aren’t like they are in the modern world, where neighbors don’t know each other, much less care about who’s living nearby; where everyone keeps their doors shut and minds their own business.
Now, neighborhood relations are still close.
The neighborhood mittee auntie probably knows every household well by now, so when we ask, it’s not like the modern times where privacy is emphasized and she’s suspiciously questioning why we want to know.
With just a simple question, the auntie eagerly chatted with them.
Maybe in terms of safety, it can’t pare to modern times, but the warmth felt in this era seems far greater.
"Auntie, does that person live by themselves?"
"No, they’re a couple. His wife is quite pretty," the auntie said, glancing at Jiang Xiao, "but you’re a really pretty young lady."
She looked at Ding Haijing, "Hey, young man, you’re lucky, marrying such a beautiful wife must mean you cherish her like keeping something from breaking in your hands!"
Jiang Xiao: "..."
Ding Haijing: "..."
In this era, who knows about drivers, assistants, bodyguards, secretaries, and the like? When two people travel together and are of similar age and gender, they’re likely assumed to be siblings or married.
It’s not the first time they’ve been mistaken for a couple.
Ding Haijing touched his nose, feeling his days were numbered.
Maybe someday it really will get back to Meng Xinian...
But then, could it be his wish to finally have a showdown with Colonel Meng?
"Auntie," Jiang Xiao quickly changed the topic, "Do they live there alone? Does anyone else e and go?"
"Yes, I’ve asked before! There are always men ing and going, but they’re quiet and don’t make trouble. Da Huzi says he’s in business and hires many people, so they e to report on business."
"ing and going? No one else living there?"
"Oh, I wouldn’t know about that."
"Thank you, Auntie."
Leaving the mittee office, Jiang Xiao and Ding Haijing exchanged a look.
"Seems like Hu Xiangyong is living there," Jiang Xiao said.
"Teacher Liu might be there too."
"Your intuition?"
"Intuition."
So, why exactly is Hu Xiangyong holding Teacher Liu?
"Xiao Chiang, I have an idea. Let’s first find a way to confirm Teacher Liu’s situation without alerting anyone, luring Dark Star’s people, shall we? Force Hu Xiangyong out of Capital City."
Jiang Xiao pondered for a moment, a trace of coldness in her eyes.
"If he really did kidnap Teacher Liu, it’s not just about forcing him out of the Capital City. I want him to suffer!"
Indeed, maybe they can’t kill him right away, but he must pay the price. After all, weren’t they already enemies?
Even if she avoids him, Hu Xiangyong will continue causing trouble.
So, might as well go for a direct confrontation.
Isn’t his marksmanship mysterious and excellent?
Let’s see if he’ll dare to shoot when the time es.
If he doesn’t, he’ll be in a world of pain.
Ding Haijing raised an eyebrow.
"How will you make him suffer?"
Jiang Xiao winked at him, "Do you think my status is quite surprising?"
Ding Haijing nodded.
Isn’t it?
"I’ve never flaunted about being a spoiled rich girl, how about doing it this once?"
Flaunt?
How to flaunt?
