Chiang Xiao furrowed her brows.
She certainly could refuse.
And, she felt that she probably should refuse.
This kind of dangerous mission wasn’t suited for a young girl like her in the first place.
"How do you know my name?" Chiang Xiao looked up at Meng Xinian.
"Case reconstruction," Meng Xinian said, "Zhao Xin and I just happened to be on the opposite side of the creek at the time."
"Are you asking for my help because of how I acted that day? What would you do if I don’t agree to help?" Chiang Xiao had never considered pretending to be the way a thirteen-year-old girl should be.
Having been reborn, she just wanted to be a bit more unrestrained; otherwise, Ho Laidi and Niu Guiying wouldn’t keep saying she seemed like a completely different person.
She had to change, to show them she wasn’t to be trifled with.
So even when she faced Meng Xinian, she had always been mature and composed.
Even if his deep gaze was filled with scrutiny.
This man had been observing her ever since he approached her in the alley, did he think she didn’t know?
"Yes, I wouldn’t look for another young girl to help. If you don’t agree, the plan will have to be abandoned," Meng Xinian said seriously, "Of course, you have the right to refuse."
This made Chiang Xiao feel a little better inside. Otherwise, if he just randomly clung to any young girl to have her risk her life, it would make her uncomfortable.
Now that he openly admitted it was because of her performance, that discomfort was suppressed.
Tyrant Meng actually had so much confidence in her because of her actions that day?
Should she say his eye was too discerning, or that he was too bold?
If she really could help them and rescue the hostages, she was indeed willing to do so.
However, Tyrant Meng’s behavior was somewhat contemptible to her.
She looked at him, "Is that how you ask someone for help?"
Meng Xinian’s expression turned serious, "The Supervisor Guard doesn’t beg."
So, he trusted his own judgment and had laid out all the risks for her, leaving it up to her to choose whether to join the mission.
If she had the courage to agree, it would prove that she really was extraordinary in bravery and insight.
Because an average young girl would definitely not dare to agree after hearing what he had just described.
Even upon hearing his description of those criminals, they would have already been frightened.
Yet Chiang Xiao wasn’t, she remained extremely composed throughout.
This girl was definitely a monster!
"Alright, I agree," Chiang Xiao nodded.
Even though Tyrant Meng behaved like a bully, what he said made sense.
Zhao Xin and Hu Xibing were both shocked and ecstatic.
Among the hostages was a Supervisor’s Wife; if something went wrong, the consequences would be enormous! Not to mention how devastated the Supervisor and the old master would be, it would also be a heavy blow for them!
Letting vicious criminals brutally kill the Supervisor’s Wife from the Guard Squad would extinguish the Aristocratic Family Alliance’s spirit and bolster the criminals’ arrogance.
The Alliance’s dignity would be in tatters, and crime rampant.
Therefore, their mission was to ensure the safety of the hostages at all costs!
If they couldn’t infiltrate Chu Liang’s house, with everything unknown, there was no way to guarantee the safety of the Supervisor’s Wife and Chu Liang.
Chiang Xiao’s calm demeanor was enough for Meng Xinian to trust her.
Because even well-trained female team members might not react the same upon first hearing about such a mission.
"Are Chu Liang and my cousin and his wife acquainted?"
Since she had agreed to help, Chiang Xiao asked a crucial question.
Meng Xinian still had a deep look in his eyes, "They knew each other through elder relatives, but not personally."
If it weren’t so, he wouldn’t have her pretend to be the little cousin-in-law.
Upon hearing this, Chiang Xiao turned to Hu Xibing, "Big Brother Xibing will pretend to be my cousin?"
