Rebirth: Splendid Marriage in the 80s

Chapter 2752: Chapter 2688: Watching Over Them

She would help them find out.

Guan Tiezhu and Luo Yongsheng exchanged a glance and put down the flashlights.

"If you don’t want to do it, just watch from the side, I’ll do it." Jiang Xiao had already rolled up her sleeves.

For this trip, they bought all the tools, and they also bought plastic rain boots.

She wrapped her hair in a scarf, wore white gauze gloves, ready to get to work.

Luo Yongsheng and Guan Tiezhu said simultaneously, "We’ll do it."

She was right; they didn’t intend to disrespect the dead. Instead, they would help uncover the truth about their deaths, believing that their souls wouldn’t blame them.

The three of them got to work together.

When the sun broke through the clouds, they finally dug open the grave.

Guan Tiezhu and Luo Yongsheng couldn’t help but crawl out, retching repeatedly.

Jiang Xiao held her breath, carefully examining, collecting items.

It was a long time before they pulled her up.

"Cover the soil again."

The speed of covering the soil was much faster than digging.

After they covered all the soil and rebuilt the mound, Jiang Xiao finally let out a long sigh of relief.

On the way back, the three of them were very silent.

Luo Yongsheng and Guan Tiezhu still felt unsettled inside, not knowing what to say, and their chests still felt uncomfortable.

Whereas Jiang Xiao was thinking about the few small bags of items she collected.

Also wondering if Shi Xiaoching was among them.

They rushed back.

On the road nearing the Capital, seeing the city’s buildings, their moods finally calmed a bit.

Guan Tiezhu kept his eyes open.

He and Luo Yongsheng had been taking turns driving, and now it was Luo Yongsheng’s turn to drive, and his time to rest, but he couldn’t sleep.

Every time he closed his eyes, he would envision the grave they saw at dawn, and the smell seemed to linger in his nose.

He wondered if he would have nightmares going forward.

However, he also worried that Jiang Xiao would have nightmares.

Though she remained calm the entire way, she was, after all, an eighteen-year-old girl, surely she couldn’t be completely free of fear, right?

Even the two grown men found it hard to bear.

This Jiang Xiao truly impressed them.

"Tiezhu, look ahead, to the right."

Luo Yongsheng suddenly spoke in a serious tone.

Guan Tiezhu and Jiang Xiao simultaneously looked in that direction.

They saw two large trucks parked by the roadside.

The beds of the trucks were covered with black tarps.

Though there wasn’t anything particularly strange about them, all three increased their vigilance at once.

It was evening now, what were those two large trucks doing parked by the roadside?

Just then, a burly man came down from a truck’s cab and ran towards them, waving his arms.

"Hey! Stop a moment! Driver, stop for a moment!"

Luo Yongsheng hit the brakes.

The man appeared to be in his thirties, dressed plainly, and looked rather ordinary.

Seeing they had stopped the car, he immediately ran over, circled to Luo Yongsheng’s window, bent down, and glanced inside.

Just that one glance.

Just that look.

Jiang Xiao shouted instantly, "Drive!"

The look in that man’s eyes when he saw her, was neither surprised, nor unexpected, nor curious, and not calm; instead, it carried the kind of hunter-like smugness of finally seeing prey.

That look was wrong.

As soon as Jiang Xiao spoke, Luo Yongsheng reacted immediately, restarted the car, and stepped on the gas.

"Damn!"

The man immediately reached out to grab the window.

"Stop the car!"
