Chapter 118: Chapter 118 Found

Chu Liang’s old mansion was not small, with the house and woodshed combined, there were eight rooms in total.

Meng Xinian glanced around and headed straight into the room furthest from the main entrance.

This room must have been lived in too, likely by an elderly person. The furniture was all old-fashioned, and there were many things piled up.

His eyes were as sharp as lightning, almost immediately after entering, he fixed his gaze on the half-height wooden screen in the corner. The somewhat heavy screen was covered in dust, but the edges had some dust rubbed off.

It should be the traditional cleansing room. Behind the screen, there should be a respect bucket placed.

Meng Xinian immediately darted over, his pupils contracting sharply.

Behind the screen, there was no respect bucket, instead, there lay a woman on her side, with an injury on her forehead, half her face covered in blood that had started to dry.

The woman was dressed in a dark blue suit, with a pair of black leather shoes on her feet, her hair pinned up in a bun.

Meng Xinian recognized her at first sight.

The Supervisor’s Wife!

She still had a breath, but it was very faint.

Like Chu Liang, if she wasn’t treated quickly, it would be difficult for her to last until the rescue was successful!

For a moment, a murderous intent surged in Meng Xinian’s deep eyes, his gaze sharp beyond measure.

Footsteps from outside were getting closer.

He suppressed the raging fury and intent to kill within him, quickly retreated to the side of the door, bowed his head to sweep the floor, appearing as if he hadn’t yet reached inside.

Sure enough, the next second, Target Number Three appeared at the doorway.

"Cousin Chu Liang, I’m resting in this room for now, it wouldn’t be convenient for you to clean here!"

This man, why did he pick this room to clean first?

However, seeing that he hadn’t reached the screen yet, Target Number Three’s expression relaxed slightly.

As long as they held out until the elder brother had news, the three that came in could be dealt with directly; for now, they just needed to prevent them from leaving, then there would be no problems.

Meng Xinian, as if feeling quite embarrassed, hurriedly picked up the broom and came out, "Then, I’ll go sweep the other rooms."

Target Number Three did not have another reason to stop him there and then; it was broad daylight, and if they really aroused suspicion and started shouting, it would reveal everything.

Thinking his brothers were adept at hiding, he assumed there would be no issue, so he let him go.

However, she followed along, occasionally interjecting, causing Meng Xinian to only casually sweep each room.

Chiang Xiao had finished making the egg pancakes, their fragrance permeating the room, enough to make one’s stomach grumble.

"Sister-in-law, I want four egg pancakes!" Zhao Xin swallowed hard.

Since he was being himself, he would say whatever he should at the moment, which made it even more realistic.

The pancakes Chiang Xiao made were stacked in two full plates. If there were only the four of them there, four pancakes each would certainly be sufficient, with some to spare.

"There’s also porridge, you can’t eat so many pancakes, save some for breakfast tomorrow. Your cousin’s house only has so much food," Target Number Three certainly disagreed.

Zhao Xin then looked pitifully at Chiang Xiao.

Chiang Xiao felt the sweat bead on her forehead.

The kid had a baby face, and when he made that face, he really did look dumb and cute. The problem was, was it useful to act cute and pitiful at her now?

Meng Xinian approached Chiang Xiao, took out a Big Unity banknote from his pocket, handed it to her, and said very honestly, "Little, you and Xinzi go out for a bit, buy more flour and eggs, and also get some gauze. Since we’re here, we need to take care of Liangzi, and refill anything he consumes." As he spoke, he reached out to neatly tuck the stray strands of Chiang Xiao’s hair behind her ear.

Chiang Xiao felt an uncontrollable itch where his calloused fingers touched her, but when she heard his words, low as a mosquito’s buzz in her ear, she could only bear it and did not swat his hand away.
