Chapter 2830: Chapter 2766: Keep Him Under Close Watch
"Alright, alright, you’re amazing, your status is the highest." Qiulian really had been worrying, but when she heard his reasoning, she couldn’t help being amused again.
"Of course. Even though you’re helping Xiao Chiang manage the teahouse, you’re just the teacher’s wife, you know that? A teacher has to come first before there’s a teacher’s wife, so your rank is still behind mine."
"What kind of logic is that?" Qiulian said, torn between laughing and crying.
Jiang Xiao had already opened the car door for them to get in. Hearing this, she also felt a bit speechless and amused.
But she still said very seriously, "In my heart, Teacher’s status is definitely very, very high."
"It should be." Liu Guoying said proudly, "But from now on, try not to provoke all those messy people. You think these old bones of mine can still toss around a few more times?"
"Teacher, I’m sorry..."
"Alright, just go back and paint a few more paintings. Didn’t you say you’re going to hold an exhibition? Don’t end up unable to hand in enough works and embarrass me. Director Jin already mentioned this to me and wants you to hold it at the academy’s gallery. Let what happened today just be in the past."
"Yes." Jiang Xiao nodded.
After sending Liu Guoying home, Jiang Xiao quietly changed all the water in their household kettle to her own Potion, then finally left the faculty dormitory.
On the way, she had Old Ding pull over and asked, "Old Ding, do you think those people will take Hu Xiangyong’s body away?"
"Of course they will." Ding Haijing answered very firmly.
"Hu Xiangyong mentioned a Dragon King at the end. Have you ever heard of that?"
"Dragon King?" Ding Haijing frowned, thought for a good while, then said, "I really haven’t."
"He said Dragon King is the one behind him, and is in D State."
"In D State?" Ding Haijing immediately understood what she was getting at. "You didn’t coax that out of him, did you?"
Otherwise, how could Hu Xiangyong possibly have revealed D State?
No, even if she had tried to coax him, Hu Xiangyong shouldn’t have been that easy to trick.
He shot Jiang Xiao a suspicious look.
Jiang Xiao blinked, with no intention of explaining at all.
Ding Haijing indeed saw that she had no desire to explain, and he gave a wry smile, shaking his head helplessly. "You’re strange as hell, you know that."
Impressive though, to actually get that kind of information out of him.
They still didn’t know who exactly was behind Hu Xiangyong, but knowing there was a codename Dragon King, knowing he was in D State, and then luring the Dark Star people over there—that already felt pretty amazing, and counted as major progress.
"Now they should be keeping their heads down for quite a while."
"Yeah, and we can also investigate properly again."
At least Hu Xiangyong had been dealt with. From now on, in the Capital City, she could live a bit more relaxed.
The Dragon King’s people should also be lying low; at this point they shouldn’t dare send anyone to the Capital City again.
Right now Jiang Xiao hoped the people from Dark Star were strong enough to keep Dragon King’s people on a tight leash, and of course, best case, drag Dragon King out himself!
"How about roast duck tonight? Celebrate a bit?"
"Sure, no problem." Jiang Xiao perked up. "I’ll go back, take a shower, and change clothes."
She also had to wait for a call from Yang Zhiqi to see how things were being handled over there.
As it turned out, she had just finished her shower when she got Yang Zhiqi’s call.
"Little, are you okay?"
After hearing Dai Gang and the others’ report, Yang Zhiqi had nearly choked on his own breath.
