Rebirth in the 90s: Melting My Devoted Mr. Iceberg-Chapter 837: She Is a Monster

"That’s right, everyone finds the person first, and we’ll discuss other matters later."

After saying that, a few people immediately ordered their subordinates to find Jiang Xue. Upon receiving their tasks, several subordinates quickly sprang into action.

"Wait, hurry up. I reckon the assassin is already on the way. If you’re late and Jiang Xue is killed, the Family Head’s life could be in jeopardy." Just as they were about to leave, someone spoke up.

"Understood, we will find Jiang Xue as soon as possible and bring her here."

Once the words were out, those people immediately left the hospital, heading towards the place where Jiang Xue lived. After the subordinates had left, the few masters did not leave but started talking.

"Don’t you all find this strange? Yesterday we just discussed hiring an assassin to kill Jiang Xue, but last night, the heads of several families fell ill."

"This is indeed strange. I think it might be related to Jiang Xue."

"How so?"

"You have no idea. A couple of days ago, people from the Wang and Zhang Families went to seek out Jiang Xue. After meeting her, the bodyguards of both families started convulsing. They writhed in agony on the ground, dying and coming back to life. They went to the hospital, but nothing could be found."

"What? How could this be? Could this really be related to Jiang Xue? How did she do it? Could she be a demon?"

"Perhaps. Otherwise, how could the old man from the Yang Family, who was critically ill, suddenly recover?"

"Don’t talk nonsense. In today’s society, where are there demons? Besides, if she really were a demon, considering what was just said, what would happen if she came after you?"

Hearing this, those who said Jiang Xue was a demon had no choice but to close their mouths and remain silent.

Mu Qiancheng also learned about the various families hiring an assassin to kill Jiang Xue, which made him worried. He thought about asking for leave to protect Jiang Xue but felt that doing so would make Jiang Xue blame herself for dragging him down.

But he was really worried something might happen to Jiang Xue. What should he do?

As Mu Qiancheng was grappling with this, his phone rang. It was a call from a friend, telling him they had already taken action against the various families, and soon those families would be overwhelmed and have no time to cause trouble for others.

It should have been a happy piece of news, but Mu Qiancheng couldn’t feel happy. He thanked the caller and then started thinking about how to protect Jiang Xue.

Without a good solution for the moment, Mu Qiancheng was a bit anxious, and his face looked troubled. Chen Ming, noticing this, asked with concern, "Qiancheng, what’s wrong?"

"I just got the news that someone wants to kill Jiang Xue."

"What? Who has the audacity to kill a military family member? Do they have a death wish?"

"The prominent families of Xu City. Those people don’t care about much; if anyone gets in their way, they stop at nothing to remove that obstacle."

"Qiancheng, don’t worry. This matter might not be true."

"No, it’s true. I have reliable information, so I have to take leave and go back."

"Qiancheng, don’t be impulsive. How about I help you find a few people to protect your wife?" Chen Ming stopped Mu Qiancheng and advised. He knew that Mu Qiancheng loses all rationality whenever it involves Jiang Xue.

He didn’t consider how long he could protect Jiang Xue—one day, or two days. If the other side didn’t make a move immediately, what would he do then? He couldn’t possibly be on leave indefinitely.

The best solution was to find Jiang Xue a few bodyguards to protect her covertly. This way, Mu Qiancheng wouldn’t have to delay his work and could still ensure Jiang Xue’s safety. A win-win!
