"Just call me Xiao Chiang, thatās what Guan Tiezhu and the others call me," said Chiang Xiao as she walked into the living room, bringing Ding Haijing along.
After sitting down, Ding Haijing glanced at her and said, "Are you Officer Mengās fiancĆ©e? I just heard Old Guan and the others say your skills are impressive, did you learn from Officer Meng?"
Huh?
These few people who came, Guan Tiezhu and the others were somewhat simple and honest. When they first met her, they basically just listened to her speak. She asked a question, they gave an answer, almost like a job interview.
But this Ding Haijing was different from them; he even actively asked her questions.
Chiang Xiao didnāt mind it at all.
"Yes."
Her boxing technique and combat skills were indeed taught by Meng Xinian. However, the acupoint techniques were not, more due to the reason of space. These were things that couldnāt be told to others, so Meng Xinian took credit for them.
"Then can we spar sometime?" Ding Haijing asked again.
This time, Chiang Xiao was a bit stunned, "You can spar with Officer Meng in the future."
Ding Haijing nodded.
"Iāve always heard Officer Meng has amazing skills. Being able to spar with him is my dream."
"Are you a martial arts fanatic?" Chiang Xiao couldnāt help but laugh, "Like in martial arts novels, obsessed with martial arts, always looking for people to duel, hearing about someoneās impressive martial arts and then seeking them out..."
Ding Haijing tried to hold back his laughter, but eventually, he couldnāt, and he laughed out loud.
He found this girl quite interesting.
He merely said one sentence, and she thought about it quite a lot.
"No, but my junior fellow is Wei Yixi. Iāve sparred with him and never won. People always say āSea Wei Land Meng,ā so I want to challenge Officer Meng."
Ding Haijing said.
Chiang Xiao hadnāt heard clearly, "Sea what, Land what?"
What does this phrase mean?
Wei Yixi, who is that?
"You donāt know?"
"Should I know?"
"I heard youāre on good terms with Wei Lengmian, havenāt you heard of his nephew? Wei Yixi is Director Weiās nephew."
Ah.
So itās him.
Seems like Director Wei once wanted to introduce her to his nephew?
Is this the Wei Yixi?
"Wei Yixi is among the elite of the Sea Region Alliance, and Meng Xinian is for the Land Region Alliance. So, thereās a saying in the alliance, āSea Wei Land Meng,ā referring to the two of them."
So thatās how it is.
How come Meng Xinian never mentioned this Wei Yixi to her?
Now that itās mentioned, sheās quite curious about this Wei Yixi.
"Youāre Wei Yixiās senior fellow?"
"Yes, actually we all called the same kickboxing master our teacher before, and learned from him for a while, thatās how we developed our friendship."
Chiang Xiao found that Ding Haijing was unexpectedly chatty.
"Were you formerly a Supervisor Guard in the Sea Region Alliance?"
"Yes. But once during a sea mission, I encountered some trouble, so I withdrew."
Ding Haijing didnāt elaborate on what the trouble was, and Chiang Xiao didnāt ask further.
"But since you were a part of the Sea Region Alliance, how did Officer Meng find you and invite you here? Shouldnāt he have handled things through Wei Yixiās connection?"
"My mother has some relatives with Hu Xibingās wife, Old Hu told me about Officer Meng looking for people, so I recommended myself."
Ding Haijing looked at Chiang Xiao, "Officer Meng didnāt tell you these things?"
Uh, heās quite good at asking her questions too.
Chiang Xiao smiled, not answering his question.
