Old Meng's face showed a trace of worry as he spoke.
"Seeing how he acted, there was something off about him. When I got closer, I saw the way he was staring at Xinian, it was truly like the look in a ghost's eyes just before they kill someone."
"He wanted to kill Brother Xinian? But Brother Xinian was just a child back then!" Chiang Xiao was shocked.
Nian Che harbored murderous intent towards Meng Xinian?
She trusted Old Meng's instincts.
Back then, Old Meng wasn't that old, and having been to the battlefield, he could tell if someone had murderous intent just by their eyes.
"At that time, I didn't really think he wanted to kill Xinian." Old Meng said, "I thought, could he be planning to kidnap Xinian? And then take revenge?"
Kidnap?
This made Chiang Xiao tense up.
Even though it was an event from the past, she couldn't help but feel anxious and worried as she listened.
