Since he doesn’t want to use those people, he certainly wants to replace them with his own. Although he doesn’t have many people to use now, at least Cheng Cheng counts as one. Suddenly, Meng Xinian sensed a profound look in his eyes. His heart stirred, and he suddenly understood what Ah Liu meant by saying those words. Firstly, it was to tell him that Cheng Cheng was completely on their side now, and secondly... "Uncle Six wants to recruit people from me?" Ah Liu stood up and patted his shoulder. "It’s not recruiting people; I believe anyone who comes from under your command has good abilities. Otherwise, I wouldn’t want them." Ordinary people are not needed by him now. However, Meng Xinian’s insight is quite impressive. Meng Xinian was speechless for a moment. "In that case, should I thank Uncle Six for his assistance?" Is the gentlemanly and gentle person now revealing his true cunning nature? Thinking this internally, Meng Xinian had already started selecting suitable candidates in his mind. After all, they share a common goal. Ah Liu wants to provide Chiang Xiaoxiao with a strong backing, so no one dares to bully her casually in the future, while he wants her to be happy. Ah Liu’s identity and background are already established; it’s not just about backing down. If he takes a step back, what awaits him might be a fiercer storm. Therefore, they can only grow stronger and confront head-on. Otherwise, the outcome might be death. If anything happens to Ah Liu, Chiang Xiaoxiao would be devastated. This is something Meng Xinian never wanted to see, so he can only help Ah Liu rise. "But you have to tell them that this path will not be too easy." Ah Liu patted his shoulder again, then took the kettle to add some water to his cup. The two exchanged glances. Firm and resolute within. However, unexpectedly, two days later, Chiang Xiao did not return. The first thing Liu Guoying did after returning to the country was to stop by the courtyard after putting his luggage in the dormitory. Meng Xinian thought Chiang Xiao should have returned by now, so he went home after finishing training that day. He and Ah Liu had shaved their faces clean, showered early, and changed into clean, crisp clothes, waiting for Chiang Xiao to come back, so she could see them looking sharp and unbeatable. The sound of knocking came, and both stood up simultaneously. "You go answer it." Ah Liu stepped aside.

Judging by Meng Xinian’s expression, it was obvious he was expecting Chiang Xiao. Liu Guoying had suggested Chiang Xiao stay in Country Y to attend the royal banquet, thinking it was just a matter of a few days’ delay returning home, nothing significant. But now seeing Meng Xinian’s reaction, he suddenly realized that the delay in returning was indeed a big deal. Look at that, Great Officer Meng’s glowing eyes were suddenly dimmed! Tsk tsk, young people’s emotions are so intense. "Teacher Liu? Did you return alone?" The moment Meng Xinian saw Liu Guoying, he instantly had a bad feeling. If Chiang Xiaoxiao had returned, it wouldn’t be possible for Liu Guoying to be standing there alone at this time. "Ahem, yes, yes." Liu Guoying found it a bit difficult to say when he saw the man behind Meng Xinian.
