Rebirth: Splendid Marriage in the 80s

Chapter 1960: Chapter 1896: Afraid to Reveal Herself

It’s impossible for someone under the bar to suddenly disappear under normal circumstances.

The place where the bartender was standing was near the bar’s railing. If Meng Xinian wanted to come out, he would have to pass by him and push open the half-height bar railing to get out.

But doing that, time wouldn’t allow.

If the bartender pointed him out, claiming he was there before she went into the bar, but disappeared as soon as she entered, the suspicion would also fall on her.

Although these are guesses, they are also reasonable assumptions.

Knowing that such laboratories and research institutes exist, Chiang Xiao was very cautious not to let such suspicions be exposed.

Because you never know if among the people around, there’s someone engaged in that kind of research. If such a person encounters you, they will immediately fixate on you.

That group is full of madmen.

So, she continued to lower her head, retreating further back into the crowd, slipping into a corner and hiding behind a tall man, trying to minimize her presence.

Her back was against the wall.

In front of her were people.

Everyone’s attention was on the stack of banknotes in that man’s hand, and no one noticed her at all.

Chiang Xiao crouched down carefully, and in that small corner, she slipped into the Space.

Just now, no one had looked at her closely, as long as she wasn’t around, it’s hard for anyone to describe what she looked like. But if she stayed outside, she could easily be pointed out.

After all, she was the only Eastern girl here.

So, Chiang Xiao retreated into the Space.

She was genuinely worried about Meng Xinian, unsure about his situation, and moreover, he was already semi-conscious; he wouldn’t even have the ability to drink the Spirit Spring Water, and she was anxious to come in and check on him.

Meng Xinian was lying on the floor next to the Bamboo Hut Spiritual Spring.

”Brother Xinian!”

Chiang Xiao quickly walked over, and upon seeing his complexion, her heart skipped a beat.

His face was as pale as paper, his clothes soaked in sweat, although already unconscious, his brows tightly knitted.

In his right hand, he was gripping something tightly.

Chiang Xiao held him in her arms, ”Brother Xinian, it’s me, I’m Little, nothing’s wrong, you’re safe now.”

Whether it was because he truly heard her voice, the tensed Meng Xinian slowly relaxed, and his right hand also relaxed.

Chiang Xiao picked up the thing, her eyes widened abruptly.

It was indeed the pendant she had personally placed on him.

Now it was completely shattered.

This indicated that it had shielded Meng Xinian from a life-threatening danger.

Without this peace charm, she would have lost him.

Even now, holding him in her arms, seeing this shattered peace charm, her heart still pounded intensely, with deep-seated fear.

Who was it exactly?

Who were those people?

Who is the Second Master they mentioned?

Chiang Xiao tossed aside the peace charm, took a small bottle of Spirit Spring Water, and carefully fed some to Meng Xinian.

She thought everything would be fine once he drank the Spring Water, but unexpectedly, the moment he sipped the Spring Water, his whole body trembled and he began to vomit vigorously.

”Brother Xinian!” Chiang Xiao was shocked.

She had never encountered such a situation before.

She suddenly looked outside, and indeed saw the bartender hesitatingly raising his hand.

”Um, I saw that Eastern man run in here...”

”Where is he?”

”Just now he was hiding here, right under the bar, grabbing my foot...”
