Rebirth: Splendid Marriage in the 80s

Chapter 3008: Chapter 2944: Wiped Out in One Sweep

"Funny thing is, according to Si Huzi, back when they were in the Capital City, Deng Qingjiang did whatever Ah Hong said, practically fawning over her, nodding and bowing all the time. But over in Huchuan, from what we’ve seen, now Ah Hong acts really gentle toward Deng Qingjiang, talks to him in this soft tone, and it’s Deng Qingjiang whose back is straight as a rod, like the whole dynamic’s flipped."

"Most likely Deng Qingjiang’s already won favor with their big boss behind the scenes." Jiang Xiao let out a cold laugh.

She had zero doubt about Deng Qingjiang’s ability in that regard.

"Very possible. The guy Ah Hong’s been waiting for over there—when they talk business, he keeps talking to Deng Qingjiang, like he’s always asking for his opinion."

"So lately they’re still staying put in Huchuan?"

"Looks that way. That place seems to be Ah Hong’s base camp. They probably feel a lot safer there and don’t plan on leaving for now."

"Then is there any woman around Ah Hong who might be Shi Xiaoching?"

"We’ve been digging into that this whole time." Ding Haijing knew she was looking for Shi Xiaoching, so he’d been thinking if they could track her down over in Yinchuan that’d be ideal. "But we’ve checked everyone around her. We didn’t see any woman who looks like Shi Xiaoching."

"What exactly is Ah Hong doing over there?"

"Everything. Every illegal racket you can think of. So if you’re sure and decide to move on her, taking the whole lot down will be easy."

When the time came, they could team up with the local police and military over there and wipe the place out in one sweep.

"This matter..."

Jiang Xiao thought for a moment. "I’ll go find Gao Shan, have him describe Chun Hong so I can sketch her. You two take a look. If that Ah Hong is Chun Hong, then I’ll decide what to do."

As long as she knew Ah Hong would be staying in Huchuan, that was enough for now.

Jiang Xiao acted as soon as she said it. That same day she went to find Gao Shan, the former town mayor.

Listening to his description, she drew a portrait of Chun Hong.

She should’ve made this sketch a long time ago, but back then it never crossed her mind she’d run into Ah Hong, so she hadn’t thought about drawing Ah Hong’s likeness.

By the time she came back with the portrait, Ding Haijing and Guan Tiezhu had finally managed to get some sleep and recover a bit.

These past ten days had really worn them out. They’d been short on rest every single day. Over there, they had to stay extremely alert. There were too many people around Ah Hong, and Ah Hong and Deng Qingjiang were both sharp as hell, so the two of them had to keep their guard up constantly.

"Old Ding, Old Guan, come take a look. See if this Ah Hong is the woman in the portrait. But the woman in the portrait is from years ago, so there’ll be some differences."

"Yeah, we get it. Let’s look first."

Jiang Xiao unfolded the portrait, and they didn’t even need to study it in detail. The moment he saw it, Ding Haijing’s gaze turned steely and he said in a low voice, "It’s her. That’s Ah Hong."

Jiang Xiao’s heart gave a jolt.

"You’re sure?"

Guan Tiezhu was still examining it carefully. At first he didn’t dare be that certain, because the woman in the drawing did look a bit different from the Ah Hong they’d seen.

But Ding Haijing was sure.

"I’m sure. It’s her."

By then Guan Tiezhu had made up his mind too. "Yeah, it should be her. Look closely and there is quite a bit of resemblance."

Jiang Xiao shot to her feet.

Right now she was regretting not going along with them.
