Rebirth: Splendid Marriage in the 80s

Chapter 2596: Chapter 2532: Utter Chaos

"He went for training, you just missed him; he left at noon."

Chiang Xiao collected her emotions.

Since Meng Xinian had instructed her to definitely ask Brother Shun about Boss Du’s affairs.

In the past few days, there have been no developments from Cheng Cheng.

They did find something about the person who died in the kitchen. A year ago, he was lured into gambling, became addicted, and lost a lot of money. Someone asked him to do things in exchange for canceling his gambling debts.

He thought providing a map of the Jiang Family and opening the door for that man would be the end of it, but he didn’t expect to lose his life in the end.

However, Jiang Shiheng thought his matter wouldn’t be so simple.

They talked over the phone yesterday, and now, because of this incident, the Jiang Family is in chaos. Fourth Madam Jiang’s brother, Ah Qiu, was immediately relieved of his kitchen management duties the same day and has been crying and making a scene with Fourth Madam Jiang, but Old Master Jiang gave him no face and chased him out.

Fourth Madam Jiang felt humiliated and stayed bedridden for two days; the Jiang Family’s Fourth Wife is in disarray.

Fourth Master Jiang simply hid away, then Fourth Madam sent Ah Qiu to find him, only to discover he spent the night with a dance hall girl, causing another round of fuss.

At this critical moment, the always frail Fifth Master Jiang fell sick again, repeatedly asking Chen Baoshen to check on him.

Under these circumstances, whenever Jiang Shiheng wants to find someone to cooperate in investigating that night’s events, he meets with many obstacles.

Cheng Cheng also faced a lot of difficulties and exclusion within the Alliance.

Listening to all of this, Chiang Xiao felt their situation was tough and complicated.

However, Jiang Shiheng told her that chaos is actually beneficial. Chaos means things aren’t well-arranged among those people, and only amidst chaos can one more easily spot suspicions.

If everything was smooth and quiet, it would be even more difficult to find clues.

Wanting to help them, it seems the only thing Chiang Xiao could do now is to get information about Boss Du from Brother Shun.

Brother Shun paused for a moment, shrugged his shoulders, and said, "Isn’t that unfortunate? I was hoping to have a few drinks with him."

"Brother Xinian doesn’t drink," Chiang Xiao said.

Brother Shun burst out laughing, slapping his thigh.

"He must have stopped drinking after meeting you! He once stole wine from Great Officer Yang to share with me. We both climbed up the wall and drank while sitting on the fence. He could drink well, I was knocked out and he just got chatty."

Chiang Xiao was momentarily stunned.

She really didn’t expect Meng Xinian to have been like that before.

"When was that?"

"Let me think, it must have been when he was eighteen, haha."

Uh, Tyrant Meng at eighteen, she was only eleven.

Things before meeting her.

"Brother Shun, how did you find our house?"

"Isn’t that easy? Just ask the Meng Family. This kind of thing is no problem for me." Brother Shun stood up. "However, if Xinian isn’t here, it’s not convenient for me to stay."

"There’s nothing inconvenient, aren’t there other people?" Chiang Xiao was speechless; did he have to avoid suspicion?

Ding Haijing and Luo Yongsheng were also here.

As for Guan Tiezhu, he should return tomorrow.

"Speaking of which," Brother Shun sat back down, glanced at Ding Haijing and Luo Yongsheng outside, then examined Chiang Xiao and asked, "What’s the deal with you? Are you in danger?"

For someone not in danger, why would she need two bodyguards?

Chiang Xiao trusted Brother Shun, one reason being Meng Xinian trusted him, and the other because of matters from her past life.
