Rebirth: Splendid Marriage in the 80s

Chapter 2429: Chapter 2365: Unfathomable Mysteries

The first thing he thought about when he got injured was Chiang Xiao.

That person is already locked up and can’t escape. If Dai Gang and the others can’t get anything out of him, he’ll go back later.

But he had to first come back to ensure Chiang Xiao’s safety.

"I didn’t find anything here." Chiang Xiao saw that he was genuinely worried about her and quickly said, "See, I’m perfectly fine, aren’t I?"

"On my way back, I circled around outside, and indeed, there was no suspicious person found for now."

Meng Xinian’s thick eyebrows remained furrowed, "However, Little, the people we have to face may be even more formidable than we previously imagined."

Chiang Xiao looked at him and nodded.

"I’m not afraid."

She certainly knew that the enemies they might encounter were more powerful than he imagined. After all, the research institute was specifically targeting individuals with special abilities, so they likely had more powerful weapons or drugs at their disposal capable of capturing those with such abilities.

Surely, they also nurtured a group of highly skilled fighters within the institute.

In her past life, because she only exhibited abnormality through her paintings and was inherently frail, they didn’t dispatch the strong captors but rather ordinary experimenters to seize her. However, she recalled that when those people approached her, one of them had a syringe in hand.

The light blue potion inside the syringe, who knew what effect it had.

"I’m not afraid, but we must be extremely cautious. You absolutely cannot get hurt."

Meng Xinian embraced her tightly, stroking her hair, his tone somewhat hoarse, "If something were to happen to you, I wouldn’t be able to live either."

Previously, he found her possession of the Magic Brush and Space too defiant against heaven. But now, he constantly worried that the secret of her possessing Exotic Treasures might be discovered by others.

If anyone found out, she would be in grave danger.

So, if possible, he genuinely hoped she wouldn’t use the Space and Magic Brush outside anymore.

"I’ll be very cautious."

Chiang Xiao heard the unease in his words, gently wrapping her arms around his waist, carefully avoiding his wound, and said, "Nothing will happen to me."

"Yeah, the Magic Brush and Space, unless absolutely necessary, don’t use them. Also, your senses are quite keen. If you encounter someone like the Second Master, unless it’s a life-and-death situation, don’t expose the Space."

"What are you thinking?"

Chiang Xiao was momentarily taken aback.

Previously, Meng Xinian thought the Space was her sanctuary, telling her to escape into it if she was in danger. But now he’s saying not to expose the Space unless it’s a life-and-death situation?

"If these people are really working together, they are not ordinary people at all."

Meng Xinian held her face, saying, "I gained such sharp senses, strength, and speed, far beyond an ordinary person, from consuming the potion and spring water from your Space. But the opponent could still seize a moment to injure me. If they were ordinary people, how could this be possible?"

Chiang Xiao fell silent.

In the previous life, Meng Xinian arrived there but was too late to save her.

But at that time, he surely knew they came from that sort of special research lab.

Yet, in this lifetime, Meng Xinian still didn’t know about the existence of this research lab.

Chiang Xiao felt she should remind him, but she didn’t know how to say it for the moment.

Fortunately, now Meng Xinian had already sensed something was amiss.

The fact that he could even think of this was quite impressive.

"I understand. I will be exceptionally cautious. But, Brother Xinian, if they really aren’t ordinary people, what about you?"

"You’re worried about me?"

"You worry about me, so of course I would worry about you too."

Meng Xinian said, "Previously, I hadn’t thought such people existed in this world, so I wasn’t guarded. I’ll be careful from now on."
