Rebirth: Splendid Marriage in the 80s

Chapter 2630: Chapter 2566: Their Nemesis

In that box were two big Ginseng roots that looked absolutely top‑notch. The moment the box was opened, the scent of Ginseng wafted out at once, drilling into their noses and instantly refreshing the spirit.

"These are my treasures. I’d say it’s going to be very hard to find any Ginseng that can compare with these two," Chiang Xiao blinked as she spoke. "So back then I definitely took a loss on my medicine paintings. Even now, if someone asks me to paint, I usually won’t. If I charge a high price, people might think I’m trying to rip them off. If I charge too little, I feel like I’m getting shortchanged."

Ding Haijing stared at the two Ginseng roots.

He could smell the strong, slow‑spreading medicinal fragrance coming off them, and this scent really did give him a jolt of energy.

So he believed these two Ginseng roots really deserved to be called treasures.

So Chiang Xiao actually had things like this; no wonder she could always brew up all kinds of Potion.

The fine roots on these two Ginsengs were missing quite a lot; they must have been used by her.

So, did Hu Xiangyong think there was something strange about her?

On this point, Chiang Xiao couldn’t even conveniently clarify.

Was she supposed to say she had two Bao Shan?

Once that got out, holding a jade disc would be her crime; who knew what kind of trouble it would attract.

Besides, Hu Xiangyong was nothing to her. On what grounds should she explain everything clearly to him just because he showed up at her door?

"So that’s how it is." Ding Haijing felt that he had completely figured it out.

"Yeah. So that Hu Xiangyong probably doesn’t believe I have any medicine painting. He keeps thinking there’s something special about me, that’s why he wants to get my blood and do some kind of research..."

"Protect yourself," Ding Haijing suddenly cut her off, speaking very seriously. "Don’t let him get your blood. Whether you’re special or not, being targeted by someone like that is definitely not a good thing."

"I know. For no reason at all I absolutely don’t want to let people get my blood and do research with it. But I do feel like Hu Xiangyong and his people seem to be wary of something here, like they don’t dare act rashly."

Ding Haijing smiled.

"Now that you said that, I know exactly what’s going on."

"You do?"

"Yeah. In the Capital City, they have a natural enemy."

"Uh?"

A natural enemy?

What was that supposed to mean?

A flash of insight went through Chiang Xiao’s mind, and she suddenly knew what he meant.

"You mean that special‑ops‑among‑special‑ops unit that wipes them out is based in the Capital City?"

"Mm."

So that’s it!

Chiang Xiao instantly felt like the clouds had parted and she could see the sky.

If some institution is illegal, and its existence threatens the Alliance’s power and stability, then of course it has to be shut down. After all, running such a huge Alliance isn’t easy, so on the road of governance they’re probably always feeling their way forward, maybe using methods normal people can’t quite understand.

So the Alliance has this kind of special‑ops unit.

They’re in the Capital City.

The kind of lab Hu Xiangyong worked for was exactly what the Alliance wanted to wipe out. The Alliance’s power was obviously stronger than theirs, so in the Capital City Hu Xiangyong and his lot had to tuck their tails between their legs and behave, for fear of being targeted by the special‑ops unit.

So that’s it, that’s it!

Once she understood this, Chiang Xiao’s mood instantly shot up. She burst out laughing a few times. "Just knowing those people have a natural enemy too makes me feel ridiculously happy. Ding Haijing, let’s go out and have a nice big meal to celebrate tonight. Call Luo Yongsheng and Guan Tiezhu and the others!"

Who knew when Tyrant Meng would get to learn all this.
