Chapter 121: Chapter 121 Important Hostage

Another voice interjected, "But after all, she’s gone in. We must find out the current situation of the Chief Alliance Officer’s Wife. Otherwise, if there’s a problem, none of us will be able to escape. Even if the Chief Alliance Officer doesn’t deal with us, we’ll have to dig our own graves and bury ourselves!"

The door was tightly closed, and the people inside were speaking in hushed tones. Hu Xibing did not hear their conversation, but Chiang Xiao’s hearing was extremely good, and she caught most of it.

Her heart skipped a beat.

The hostage, was it actually the Chief Alliance Officer’s Wife?

How could the Chief Alliance Officer’s Wife have come to their town?

Even after that house was declared a haunted house in her past life, no one mentioned it again. Among those who had died, there was someone with such a high status?

The highest leader of the Supervisor Guard Alliance is the Chief Alliance Officer, as the Aristocratic Family Alliance can be described as a union of the world’s wealthy and powerful. It’s imaginable what kind of prominent status those who could become the Chief Alliance Officer would have.

This town is called Peace Town, and it really isn’t big at all. It’s quite far from the county city, and while the peasants’ lives are relatively peaceful, they are indeed poorer than other places.

In a small place, any news spreads quickly. If Peace Town had given rise to a Chief Alliance Officer’s Wife, there’s no way nobody would know about it. Even if Chiang Xiao was indifferent to world affairs, she would have heard a thing or two.

Yet, in her past life, she had never heard of such a distinguished family in Peace Town.

Therefore, there must be another reason for the Chief Alliance Officer’s Wife to come to Peace Town.

These thoughts flashed through Chiang Xiao’s mind. Now was not the time to think about this.

What was important was, now that she knew the identity of the hostage was no trivial matter, she could no longer hesitate.

"Captain Meng said that the rescue operation would start tonight at twelve o’clock. Before then, someone must be sent to deliver medicine and bandages. This choice of person must be made very carefully..."

At this point, Chiang Xiao’s voice suddenly fell silent.

She suddenly understood the meaning behind Meng Xinian’s words!

The medicine had to be delivered, she hadn’t seen the Chief Alliance Officer’s Wife with her own eyes, but she had seen Chu Liang. By holding on a bit longer, she could last at least until tomorrow. This meant that the Chief Alliance Officer’s Wife wouldn’t last through the night!

The medicine Meng Xinian wanted was for her.

But if she didn’t go back and someone else was to deliver the medicine, that person could very likely expose his identity and those people might not tolerate him!

He could very likely be marching to his death, which is why Meng Xinian said the person for this task must be chosen with great care.

The person delivering the medicine would hardly have a chance of surviving. So what could be the fate of Meng Xinian and Zhao Xin inside? And how could he treat the Chief Alliance Officer’s Wife under these circumstances?

He did indeed calculate everything, truly committing to bringing her out safely. But did they really disregard their own lives and deaths?

Hu Xibing’s expression was solemn but showed a flicker of understanding, "I get Captain Meng’s plan. We have to deliver wound medicine, fever reducers, anti-inflammatory drugs, and also some Sleep-inducing Drug. But that kind of Sleep-inducing Drug can only be added to water. With so many people, who can guarantee they will all drink water before twelve o’clock?"

So that’s how it is.

Chiang Xiao suddenly understood.

Hu Xibing and Tyrant Meng must have also risked their lives together back in the days. With just one sentence from Meng Xinian, Hu Xibing understood his plan.

He planned to use the medicine to knock those people out.

But as Hu Xibing pointed out, before twelve o’clock, it was impossible for everyone to drink the drugged water. Besides, if the drugs really could be sent in, Target Three would surely conduct a careful examination. If she discovered the Sleep-inducing Drug, Meng Xinian and Zhao Xin would be exposed just as quickly.

Furthermore, after she ran away, if a man were to replace her to deliver the medicine, it would already have been difficult to explain. Chances were, he might not even get the opportunity to administer the drug.

"Brother Hu, you go in and report the situation immediately, then prepare the medicines. I need to go out for a while. I’ll be back later to get the medicines!"

Chiang Xiao said hastily before darting out.
