Chapter 124: Chapter 124: She is the most suitable

"You trust me, as long as they are by my side, I will protect them, and you can devote all your attention to external matters!"

Listening to her exceedingly confident words, Meng Xinian felt somewhat uneasy, because he actually found her very trustworthy!

Chiang Xiao said, "I have already drawn them a diagram of the residence, marking every room clearly."

In fact, she had drawn it in great detail—the courtyards, every room, the layout. Seeing that drawing, Hu Xibing was astonished. Looking at the picture was like walking into the residence themselves.

So, the rescue team would not be acting blindly.

"You know how to draw?" The calm that Meng Xinian had finally regained was once again shattered by her words.

Chiang Xiao blinked and said, "I know a thing or two."

After finishing the instructions, she asked, "Where is the other hostage? You’re too obvious a target. When it gets dark, I’ll slip over to give her medicine."

They all hadn’t revealed the identity of that person to her; she overheard it and now could only pretend to be unaware.

Meng Xinian frowned but felt this was the best approach and told her. "I’ll be smoking in the courtyard keeping watch for you. If you hear me cough, no matter the situation, you must exit immediately, understand?"

At that moment, a strange feeling suddenly flashed through his heart. Why does he always forget she’s just a child when talking to her?

However, this little demon truly did not seem like a child.

"Understood. Also, rest assured, the hostages will be fine. The medicine I brought is all of good quality!"

Chiang Xiao stepped out to brew the medicine.

All the medicinal ingredients had been unsealed—it seemed that although that woman trusted them, she had still cautiously checked these ingredients.

Chiang Xiao poured a packet into a small pot to cook, and while Zhao Xin was tending the fire, she quietly picked a Small Ganoderma from her Space, crushed it, and threw it into the medicine pot.

Chu Liang was clearly hanging on by a thread. She worried that the medicine from the town might not be enough to save him, as well as the Chief Alliance Officer’s Wife.

She had already verified the wonders of the Space herself and believed that the herbs grown in the Space were incomparable.

The Lingzhi had grown for a day and had become much larger, although certainly not as much as those two larger ones, but its medicinal effect was definitely good.

She had to save these two people.

"Sister-in-law, you’ve been busy for so long; hurry up and eat something first." Zhao Xin served her a bowl of sweet potato porridge and topped it with a slice of egg cake.

"You eat first, have a few more slices after you’re done. Don’t listen to that older sister; we can make more tomorrow if needed."

By then, Chiang Xiao was indeed hungry and quickly took it to eat.

"I’ll keep an eye on things here. Xinzi, take a basin of water and help Chu Liang clean up," she said.

Zhao Xin knew she was giving herself the opportunity to listen to Captain Meng’s plan and quickly took a basin of hot water over.

Chiang Xiao ate another piece of cake and, seeing no one noticed, took a bowl and poured out a bowl of medicine to cautiously store in her Space, then poured out another bowl.

From what Meng Xinian had seen, the Chief Alliance Officer’s Wife’s condition was the same as Chu Liang’s—bleeding wounds, inflammation, injuries. She prepared the medicine beforehand, and would see later if it was right; if not, she would use the medicine from her own Space.

As long as she could sneak into the room, she could ensure no noise would disturb anyone because she had her Space!

Therefore, assigning this mission to her was actually the most suitable.

If she wasn’t afraid of exposing her Space, she could easily take the hostages out without a sound, and the Guard Squad would just have to attack forcefully. But she had no way to explain that.

In this life, Chiang Xiao would definitely not expose her differences.

As the sky darkened, this part of the old house became eerily silent.

The surrounding area was deathly still and quiet, and with the occasional chilling breeze leaking from somewhere, the night felt strange and unsettling. A lightbulb was on in the main room, but the light was so dim it couldn’t even reach this end of the courtyard; instead, it cast several gloomy shadows of the wooden pillars, adding a ghostly aura.
