Chapter 1995: Chapter 1931: The Shot Fired
Jun Weichi and John seemed to be arguing on the street ahead, while Meng Xinian leaned impatiently against a lamppost not far away, watching them.
Chiang Xiao suddenly felt a bit of sympathy for him.
This kind of task must be really frustrating for him.
Who knows when Jun Weichi will return to the country? Staying like this indefinitely is uncomfortable for everyone.
"Is that the person Commander Meng came out to protect?" Liu Guoying looked at Jun Weichi, and the more he looked, he suddenly frowned, "Why do I feel she looks a bit familiar?"
"Teacher, do you know her?"
"No, I don’t."
Liu Guoying looked at her more closely, suddenly slapped his thigh, and said, "I’ve seen a man who looks a bit like her."
"Who?"
"Lei Yitong." Liu Guoying glanced at her, "But you probably don’t know him, so there’s no point in asking."
Pfft.
Chiang Xiao almost spat out.
No way?
Lei Yitong, that’s Chen Baoshen’s medical friend, and one of her other purposes for coming here is to visit Dr. Lei and ask about brain surgery.
Now Liu Guoying also knows Dr. Lei, and even thinks he looks like Jun Weichi?
Could it be they have some connection too?
"You know him?"
"Grandpa Chen knows Lei Yitong, he’s also in Country Y. I plan to visit him after the competition," Chiang Xiao said.
"Really?" Liu Guoying was also very surprised.
"Teacher, do you know Dr. Lei too?"
"When he returned to the country before, I was introduced to invite him to see your teacher’s wife’s illness, but even he was helpless with her condition."
It was because of Chiang Xiao that his wife’s illness got better.
Chiang Xiao couldn’t help but feel the world is really small; many people turn out to be somewhat connected.
Chen Baoshen had given her Lei Yitong’s address, but in Country Y she wasn’t sure how to find him, so it seemed like it might be best to ask Jun Weichi directly to see if she really had any connection with Lei Yitong.
Meng Xinian turned back and saw her, giving her a look.
Chiang Xiao understood what he meant.
Since he met Second Master, he said that in Country Y they should best not be seen together, and even if they met, they should pretend not to know each other, so she wouldn’t be dragged in if they really encountered those people.
Chiang Xiao sighed softly.
Just look, can’t I go over to him?
She was just about to talk to Liu Guoying when she suddenly saw a man wearing a hat running toward Jun Weichi and the others.
Chiang Xiao instinctively felt something was wrong, was about to call out when Meng Xinian had already sprinted toward them and kicked the man heading for Jun Weichi.
With a bang, the man was sent flying and landed heavily on the ground, a knife in his hand clattering away with a clang.
Jun Weichi was taken aback.
John hurriedly pulled her close, watching Meng Xinian walk over and bend down to pick up the knife.
The man he had kicked to the ground suddenly pulled out a gun and pulled the trigger at Meng Xinian.
Another loud noise.
"A gun, a gunshot?" Liu Guoying’s face turned pale.
They had lived through a time of war and could recognize the sound of gunfire.
Chiang Xiao froze completely; from this angle, she couldn’t see what the man on the ground was doing, but she could also recognize the gunshot and see Meng Xinian bending over to pick up the knife.
Was he hit by that shot?
Chiang Xiao immediately ran toward that side.
But after just a few steps, she stopped because she already saw Meng Xinian gripping the man’s wrist, forcing the gun’s muzzle to point skyward.
