Rebirth: Splendid Marriage in the 80s Chapter 2403: 2339: Blood Was Drawn

Revealing this to Li Hanzhong would prove extremely risky. The situation could spiral out of control entirely.

One can never predict how greed for such an immense treasure might twist human nature.

She had zero desire to gamble with something like this on the loyalty of hearts or family ties—absolutely none.

If she did, her entire existence would undoubtedly descend into utter turmoil.

"Did you consent to letting them draw his blood?" Ding Haijing furrowed his brow once more and advised, "You ought to minimize your interactions with that individual."

Upon hearing those words, Chiang Xiao recalled her plan to share some details about her recent circumstances with them earlier, though she realized she hadn't actually brought it up.

Since they were still at the hospital right then, it wasn't the right moment for deeper discussions, so she simply replied, "I get it. But should that guy show up near me again, make sure to watch him closely."

Ding Haijing shot her a look and abruptly grasped what she implied.

In truth, she was well aware of how perilous that man truly was, wasn't she?

After pausing briefly in quiet thought, he responded, "Got it."

The checkup for Liu Guoying proved exhaustive and meticulous, with the findings expedited for prompt delivery, arriving in no time at all.

"The tests for Teacher Liu reveal everything's fine, so Miss Jiang, you can relax," the director assured her.

Chiang Xiao inquired, "What about that small puncture?"

"It's definitely from a needle, and it looks like a sample of blood was extracted."

Blood had been drawn...

Why on earth would anyone want to sample Liu Guoying's blood?

At first, the clean bill of health from the exams had eased Chiang Xiao's worries, yet this new detail made her nerves tighten right back up.

"Director, supposing they only poked him lightly, could they really pull out enough blood for testing? It doesn't seem possible, does it?"

"Not at all unlikely. Modern lab gear can analyze samples with just a minuscule amount."

"Will this have any effect on the teacher's well-being?"

"None whatsoever. Our full scan confirms no foreign substances were introduced into Teacher Liu's system. Moreover, his blood pressure, lipids, sugar levels, and all other metrics are perfectly standard. For someone his age, these outcomes are impressively solid."

The director had no clue that, shortly after departing, Chiang Xiao had given Liu Guoying a serving of Spirit Spring Water to consume.

"Thanks so much, Director," Chiang Xiao expressed, "Kindly keep what happened today under wraps."

"Naturally, no problem at all," the director agreed with a nod.

Chiang Xiao departed the hospital alongside Liu Guoying and saw him safely back to the school grounds.

"Teacher, should any unease crop up over the coming days, notify me right away. Speak up about even the slightest issue—promise?"

"Okay, okay, I've got the message. You're just eighteen; why behave as if you're eighty-one?"

Chiang Xiao: "…"

Once she left the school and got home, Wang Yi and Chen Yin soon arrived on her doorstep.

The pair had grown quite attached lately, which came as no shock to Chiang Xiao.

Deep down, she believed Wang Yi would one day yield and wed Chen Yin. He remained the one she cherished most, after all. Once a man shows willingness to reform, it's tough for a woman to summon the resolve to end things for good.

Yet this visit from Chen Yin involved some business with Chiang Xiao.

"Sister-in-law, recall Guo Zitong?"

Chiang Xiao drew a blank.

Wang Yi jogged her memory: "Think back to that art show you and Teacher Liu held, where all the earnings went toward constructing a school in Shitou Town? Ye Wanqing showed up with her group, and the fellow next to her—he even said hello to Chen Yin back then."
