"I say, what is the background of this person? Although I donât really find him that terrifying, thereâs definitely something strange about him, canât quite describe it."
Liu Guoying glanced at Chiang Xiao, somewhat perplexed, "How did you guys manage to provoke this person?"
Chiang Xiao furrowed her brows.
Actually, she was more curious about what precisely Meng Xinian did to offend this person, so much so that the moment they met, this man wanted to attack him.
If at first, Meng Xinian pursued someone who was colluding with Hu Xiangyong and uncovered something unfavorable for them, shouldnât he have gone to find Tyrant Meng first after returning?
Why did he initially focus his attention on her?
Chiang Xiao found it very odd.
Meng Xinian hadnât allowed her to inform Li Hanzhong about this matter, and she understood exactly what he was thinking.
Currently, only Hu Xiangyong was investigating who rescued Meng Xinian that night and how, but if they were to reveal the matter, theyâd have to give a detailed report on that nightâs situation.
In doing so, they wouldnât be able to speak frankly and would find it hard to fabricate excuses to cover it up.
Itâs better for him to secretly uncover that personâs identity before deciding.
After all, the entire army isnât solely Li Hanzhongâs, and heâs at a crucial point right now with so many watching him; if they mishandle it, they might inadvertently hand over Chiang Xiaoâs uniqueness to Li Hanzhongâs rivals.
By Meng Xinianâs view, this posed extreme danger to Chiang Xiao.
If it werenât for his current predicament with Lu Shuangshuangâs case and dispatching troops, which consumed much of his time and energy, he shouldâve been observing Hu Xiangyong closely.
Speaking of which, nobody knows whether "Hu Xiangyong" is his real name.
Chiang Xiao thought about Sun Han and Ding Haijing.
At least now she could count on some support; why not have them secretly investigate Hu Xiangyong?
But this person gave her an incredibly dangerous vibe; she worried Sun Han and Ding Haijing might mess up and get discovered by him.
Would her Talisman Diagram be useful and applicable here?
Chiang Xiao remembered her previous question for Liu Guoying.
"Teacher, why did you stop me from shaking hands with him earlier?"
Liu Guoying furrowed his brows, pondered briefly before replying, "Iâm not quite sure." He raised his right hand, presenting it to Chiang Xiao, "You have good eyesight, scrutinize my hand and see if thereâs anything odd, like red dots from needle pricks."
Upon hearing this, Chiang Xiao was immediately startled.
She promptly grabbed his hand and inspected it closely, urgently asking, "Whatâs wrong? Teacher, why ask me to check this suddenly?"
Liu Guoying said, "Maybe I just got a bit nervous myself. When I went in, that Hu fellow shook my hand, and I felt like something pricked me, but later, there was nothing unusual. He wanted to shake your hand, and I looked at his ring, and somehow, I felt it was off, so I stopped you."
He snorted, "Besides, whatâs the loss in not shaking hands?"
He just felt something was a bit odd.
But now, he couldnât specifically point out what was strange.
Moreover, looking back, he realized he might have been somewhat paranoid; how did a handshake become scary?
