Rebirth: Splendid Marriage in the 80s

Chapter 2398: Chapter 2334: No Handshakes Allowed

"I say, what is the background of this person? Although I don’t really find him that terrifying, there’s definitely something strange about him, can’t quite describe it."

Liu Guoying glanced at Chiang Xiao, somewhat perplexed, "How did you guys manage to provoke this person?"

Chiang Xiao furrowed her brows.

Actually, she was more curious about what precisely Meng Xinian did to offend this person, so much so that the moment they met, this man wanted to attack him.

If at first, Meng Xinian pursued someone who was colluding with Hu Xiangyong and uncovered something unfavorable for them, shouldn’t he have gone to find Tyrant Meng first after returning?

Why did he initially focus his attention on her?

Chiang Xiao found it very odd.

Meng Xinian hadn’t allowed her to inform Li Hanzhong about this matter, and she understood exactly what he was thinking.

Currently, only Hu Xiangyong was investigating who rescued Meng Xinian that night and how, but if they were to reveal the matter, they’d have to give a detailed report on that night’s situation.

In doing so, they wouldn’t be able to speak frankly and would find it hard to fabricate excuses to cover it up.

It’s better for him to secretly uncover that person’s identity before deciding.

After all, the entire army isn’t solely Li Hanzhong’s, and he’s at a crucial point right now with so many watching him; if they mishandle it, they might inadvertently hand over Chiang Xiao’s uniqueness to Li Hanzhong’s rivals.

By Meng Xinian’s view, this posed extreme danger to Chiang Xiao.

If it weren’t for his current predicament with Lu Shuangshuang’s case and dispatching troops, which consumed much of his time and energy, he should’ve been observing Hu Xiangyong closely.

Speaking of which, nobody knows whether "Hu Xiangyong" is his real name.

Chiang Xiao thought about Sun Han and Ding Haijing.

At least now she could count on some support; why not have them secretly investigate Hu Xiangyong?

But this person gave her an incredibly dangerous vibe; she worried Sun Han and Ding Haijing might mess up and get discovered by him.

Would her Talisman Diagram be useful and applicable here?

Chiang Xiao remembered her previous question for Liu Guoying.

"Teacher, why did you stop me from shaking hands with him earlier?"

Liu Guoying furrowed his brows, pondered briefly before replying, "I’m not quite sure." He raised his right hand, presenting it to Chiang Xiao, "You have good eyesight, scrutinize my hand and see if there’s anything odd, like red dots from needle pricks."

Upon hearing this, Chiang Xiao was immediately startled.

She promptly grabbed his hand and inspected it closely, urgently asking, "What’s wrong? Teacher, why ask me to check this suddenly?"

Liu Guoying said, "Maybe I just got a bit nervous myself. When I went in, that Hu fellow shook my hand, and I felt like something pricked me, but later, there was nothing unusual. He wanted to shake your hand, and I looked at his ring, and somehow, I felt it was off, so I stopped you."

He snorted, "Besides, what’s the loss in not shaking hands?"

He just felt something was a bit odd.

But now, he couldn’t specifically point out what was strange.

Moreover, looking back, he realized he might have been somewhat paranoid; how did a handshake become scary?
