Capítulo 2625: Chapter 2561: To Be Eliminated

“Him? What good would it do him to hurt you?” Ding Haijing frowned.

Hu Xiangyong had always wanted Chiang Xiao’s paintings, and although she consistently refused, what benefit could hurting her bring him?

Could it be that he was so embarrassed by her repeated refusals that he sent someone to harm her just to vent his anger?

Looking at Hu Xiangyong, although he isn’t a good person, he doesn’t seem like someone who would do such a thing.

Because for him, this kind of thing might be too childish, too much of a waste of time.

Chiang Xiao pondered for a moment.

She didn’t answer Ding Haijing’s question.

Because Ding Haijing didn’t really know what kind of person Hu Xiangyong was, and explaining it fully would be too troublesome.

“Ding Haijing, I want to ask you, have you ever heard,” she hesitated, looked at Ding Haijing, then asked, “of institutions that do special research? Official ones, or private ones.”

“Special research?”

Ding Haijing looked at her, “Why are you asking this?”

Hmm?

He didn’t directly say he hadn’t heard of them, nor did he claim he didn’t know, but instead asked her why she was asking?

Chiang Xiao’s eyes suddenly widened.

Could it be—

Ding Haijing, seeing her eyes widen so suddenly, said somewhat helplessly, “There are such institutions, but the official ones are absolutely confidential. You don’t have the clearance to ask about these matters. As for the private ones…”

He paused there.

Chiang Xiao immediately pressed on, “What about the private ones?”

It seems, Ding Haijing really does know!

This made Chiang Xiao’s heart leap, and simultaneously, she felt very surprised and shocked.

Where on earth did Meng Xinian find such a bodyguard for her?

Why does she feel that he always finds the crème de la crème?

Such a person, after retiring, wouldn’t fear unemployment and would be waiting for an opportunity like hers to come knocking?

Especially Ding Haijing, she felt he was truly impressive.

Whether it was last time at the art school when he hadn’t yet seen Hu Xiangyong but already sensed danger, or now when she posed the question, he also seemed to know.

This Ding Haijing made her feel incredibly competent.

Ding Haijing remained silent for a moment and then said, “Privately, they’re what the national… wants to eradicate.”

Chiang Xiao was taken aback.

“Eradicate?”

She was shocked at the word he used.

Eradicate?

Ding Haijing paused, walked outside the living room, looked around, and then came back, sitting across from her, looking at her with a solemn expression.

“Yes, eradicate.”

“Why?”

Ding Haijing looked at Chiang Xiao, and said, “As a sign of sincerity in exchange, shouldn’t you first tell me why you’re asking such a question?”

Why was she asking such a question?

Chiang Xiao also fell silent.

She understood Ding Haijing’s point, if she wanted him to continue talking, she’d have to let him know something too.

She could understand that much.

Because this topic wasn’t an easy one, and now it seemed, Ding Haijing was somewhat informed.

This was a surprise for her; at least she wasn’t entirely in the dark, not knowing where to start, and this was already a breakthrough.

But, although she always felt that she could rely on Ding Haijing, when faced with such matters, she still hesitated.

What might happen if she told him something and revealed some of her oddities?

Chiang Xiao pressed her lips tightly together.

Ding Haijing simply watched her without pressing further, merely watching her like that.
