What a big scene this has become!

Initially, when Jiang Xiao mentioned to him about preparing bulletproof vests for Dai Gang and the others, he had already prepared for them to fight.

Moreover, he had told Dai Gang that since they were making a move anyway, they should hold nothing back and try their best to bring Hu Xiangyong back alive or dead.

Yang Zhiqi had absolutely not expected Jiang Xiao to go herself.

And in the middle of it all, she was even held hostage by Hu Xiangyong.

If something were to happen to Jiang Xiao, he figured he’d have to bring his head to see whoever it is.

His family, who kept mentioning Jiang Xiao’s parents day after day, wouldn’t spare him either.

Upon hearing at last that Jiang Xiao was safe, he was initially relieved, but then Dai Gang reported an unknown assailant had opened fire and killed Hu Xiangyong, while Hu was still under Jiang Xiao’s custody.

That meant Hu Xiangyong was shot right in front of Jiang Xiao.

Yang Zhiqi was worked up again.

So before Jiang Xiao could respond, he continued, "How do you have such courage? The bulletproof vests I prepared, you didn’t have one, right? You weren’t wearing a vest, yet knowing that Hu’s shooting skills were peculiar, how could you dare to rush up directly? What if something happened to you, how would I explain it to anyone?"

It was rare for Jiang Xiao to hear Yang Zhiqi nag like this, and she couldn’t help but feel a bit overwhelmed.

"Uncle Yang, who do you need to explain to?"

"Why wouldn’t I? Your aunt and uncle, your father, your great-grandfather, would I be able to withstand it? And Meng Xinian would go crazy, wouldn’t he? Could I withstand him going crazy?"

He absolutely couldn’t withstand it, not even Meng Xinian alone.

Moreover, fighting life-and-death battles on the battlefield, then the person in his heart has a mishap on his home turf, how could that be acceptable?

"This was my own idea..."

"If something really happens, who cares about that? It was me who sent Dai Gang and the others, wasn’t it? It was me who found and distributed the bulletproof vests, wasn’t it? This thing..." Yang Zhiqi paused again, "Are you really okay?"

"Uncle Yang, I’m really okay."

Jiang Xiao looked at the jade bracelet on her left wrist, truly feeling it was extraordinarily glossy and bright, almost like it was about to drip ice water.

This was indeed given by Yang Zhiqi.

She also knew Yang Zhiqi wasn’t really worried about being unable to bear the responsibility, but rather worried that something would indeed happen to her.

"Alright, I won’t say more. I just wanted to tell you," Yang Zhiqi coughed and said, "the body of that Hu, his gun, the explosives Dai Gang and the others handed over, and everything in that house, other agencies have taken over, so this matter ends here, don’t ask about it anymore."

Yang Zhiqi actually didn’t quite understand which department has taken over, but that was the order from above, and he could only comply.

Upon hearing this, Jiang Xiao felt relieved.

Indeed, it was as she hoped.

She believed Dark Star people would also go to D State to search for Dragon King.

Dragon King, you better hide well.

Jiang Xiao’s gaze darkened.

If seeing Hu Xiangyong shot dead right under her nose affected her in any way, it was that it hardened her heart even more, making her tougher.

She feared nothing anymore.

Having watched her own death, watched others die, she’d gone through it all, and henceforth she’d only charge forward armed in armor.

That night, Jiang Xiao rarely went to bed early and didn’t even enter the space to draw Talisman Diagrams.
