Rebirth: Splendid Marriage in the 80s Chapter 2415 - 2351: Just So Mentally Exhausting

Previously on Rebirth: Splendid Marriage in the 80s...

Chiang Xiao advised the ailing Chen Kaijin to seek funds from Deng Qingjiang's prosperous furniture city in the Capital, urging her to prioritize recovery over despair and contact her sister for help. Realizing the deception about her terminal illness, Chen resolved to transfer to a major hospital. Upon confirming Chen's cancer diagnosis, Chiang Xiao returned home and rallied her team—Ding Haijing, Guan Tiezhu, and Luo Yongsheng—explaining she needed most of them to surveil a key individual for her safety and plans. Ding Haijing suspected it was the suspicious figure from school and offered to enlist Major General Wei for a thorough investigation.

"Are you referring to Wei Yixi?"

Chiang Xiao paused briefly in surprise before posing the question. The name Wei Yixi had reached her ears on numerous occasions; he's the kind of swimmer that even the arrogant Tyrant Meng concedes he can't rival.

Besides, whenever Chiang Xiao pondered Director Wei, she couldn't help but believe that Wei Yixi must be remarkably talented.

"That's right, Young Alliance Official Wei possesses certain connections, so he might be able to dig up details on this individual."

"I'm unsure whether the alias he's adopting currently is his actual name." Chiang Xiao explained, "I'll chat about it with Brother Xinian once he's back. However, at the moment, the person I want you to track isn't him—it's another fellow called Deng Qingjiang, who owns a massive private enterprise in the Capital City. Oh, and that lady we encountered at the District 3 Hospital earlier today? She's Deng Qingjiang's spouse."

"Track him?"

"Exactly."

Chiang Xiao cast a quick look toward Ding Haijing.

This fellow wouldn't start probing into why they're tailing folks once more, would he?

In truth, guards who pry excessively can prove rather draining.

Luckily, on this occasion, Ding Haijing held back from inquiring further and simply gave a nod.

Evidently, he's aware of his boundaries.

"Assign two of you to shadow him, with the option to rotate as needed. Handle the arrangements internally. Who's volunteering? I require updates on his contacts and activities. In particular, should he venture beyond the Capital City, tail him without delay."

Should Deng Qingjiang head back to D State, she'll have to reach out to Cheng Cheng there for possible assistance.

Regarding Ah Liu, he's already swamped with responsibilities, and she has no intention of adding extra strain or worries for him.

Thus, dispatching her own team to pursue the lead once more is the plan.

Ding Haijing eyed Luo Yongsheng and Guan Tiezhu, presenting it as a query yet obviously divvying up duties. "Old Guan, Old Luo, how about you both take on the surveillance?"

Guan Tiezhu and Luo Yongsheng displayed no resistance; each offered a nod of consent.

Chiang Xiao had no issue with it, granting her approval as well.

"Fine, get ready, you two, and begin monitoring Deng Qingjiang starting tomorrow. Pick up a couple of bicycles—they could prove useful at times—or would a vehicle suit better?"

"No thanks, we'll observe for several days initially and assess the situation," Guan Tiezhu replied.

With that, the matter was finalized.

Chiang Xiao experienced a strong sense of relief knowing those two would be keeping tabs on Deng Qingjiang.

After all, Deng Qingjiang isn't like Hu Xiangyong.

Concerning Hu Xiangyong, she's still uncertain about any remaining schemes he might have.

That evening, another call came in from Ah Liu.

Throughout the day, he'd been occupied mainly with recognizing faces and mingling with visitors.

In a prestigious household like theirs, particularly in somewhere like D State, the moment word spread, countless folks would arrive bearing presents to pay respects and offer felicitations—who could predict the numbers?

"Dad, dealing with crowds of people daily, managing all that interaction, it has to be wearing you out, so whenever possible, feel free to turn them away."

Hearing his voice, Chiang Xiao sensed a touch of worry stirring within her.

Jiang Shiheng let out a gentle laugh and responded, "I get it. Yet, Little, this holds significant value too. From their faces and chats, I pick up tons of insights. It's an efficient method to grasp the dynamics in D State. Exhausting as it is, I find it rather engaging."

Chiang Xiao found herself speechless.

Perhaps her father is inherently cut out for such roles.

She herself couldn't manage it, lacked the skill, disliked the effort, and viewed it as excessive bother.

Yet he discovered enjoyment in it.

"Regardless, prioritize your well-being above all. It's only been a short while post-operation; avoid pushing yourself too hard."
