"Thank you both for saving my mother and Little Tiger!"
"Vice Captain Lei, no need for thanks."
Chiang Xiao didn’t want to delay any longer, now that Lei Jiasheng had arrived on his own, she felt relieved to leave, so she quickly inquired about Meng Xinian’s situation.
However, as soon as she mentioned Meng Xinian, the expression on Lei Jiasheng’s face became oddly peculiar.
"You? You’re looking for Captain Meng?"
He sized up Chiang Xiao, could this be Captain Meng’s fiancée’s sister?
It was very likely! If the sister was as beautiful as this young lady, then she would certainly match that guy, Meng Xinian.
"Yes, I want to ask, do you know where he has gone?" Chiang Xiao felt that his gaze was a bit strange but didn’t pay it any mind.
Meng Xinian had written in his letter that in his camp, her reputation was already quite notable. Maybe, Lei Jiasheng had guessed her identity?
Somehow, it still felt a bit awkward.
But what she didn’t expect was that in the alliance camp, aside from their Officer and Zhao Xin, no one knew that Meng Xinian was actually robbing the cradle by choosing such a young girl for a bride. So everyone guessed that his fiancée was a woman of both talent and beauty, who would have thought it was such a young girl?
"Captain Meng has already gone to Xinying District, the district is not far from here, about a half hour’s journey. Shall I give you the directions and address?"
Why hadn’t he mentioned it?
Chiang Xiao was a bit stunned.
At this time, the letter Meng Xinian had sent was still on the way, so she hadn’t received the latest news.
Chiang Xiao and Hu Xibing left the hospital. Hu Xibing looked at the sky and then asked Chiang Xiao, "Sister-in-law, shall we go to Xinying District to find Captain Meng now?"
Chiang Xiao always felt that he seemed somewhat anxious and couldn’t help but ask, "Brother Hu, do you have something urgent?"
"I..." Hu Xibing hesitated, then decided to come clean, "When I made the call earlier, I also rang a friend in the city. He told me there was a Tea Trade Fair happening, and he also opened a tea shop in the city. He said something had come up on the phone and asked if I could hurry over to help."
If he were to accompany Chiang Xiao to Xinying District, it might take an hour and a half round trip, and he wasn’t sure how serious the situation was with his friend.
Hu Xibing was still somewhat worried.
"You should take care of your business first, I can go find Tyrant Meng on my own." Chiang Xiao quickly took things from his hands, urging him to leave.
"Sister-in-law, it’s your first time in the provincial city, can you manage alone?"
"Why wouldn’t I manage? Are you underestimating me? You saw it yesterday, even a big man with a knife couldn’t do anything to me, what should I be afraid of?"
"What if you don’t recognize the way?"
"I’ll take a cab there, am I that dumb?"
Hu Xibing thought about it and agreed, so he carefully gave her a few more instructions and then hurriedly left.
Chiang Xiao looked at the broad avenues of the provincial city, watched the cars coming and going, observed the men and women dressed in fashion of the times, their hairstyles showcasing the distinctive style of the era, and suddenly felt full of high spirits.
She finally made it to the provincial city by her own efforts!
Not like in her previous life at this time, where just thinking about the provincial city made her feel like she would never manage to leave!
She decided to first take these items to Tyrant Meng. She’d come to the provincial city, after all, it was only right to see him once; otherwise, when that man found out, who knew how many letters he would write to scold her.
