Rebirth: The Courtyard Bride Is Cool and Radiant novel Chapter 137

Chapter 137: Chapter 137 Bumping into an Astounding Secret

She carefully stored the letter away and then tore open the small parcel, revealing a small bag of candies and a piece of fabric.

Wei Hongyan had said that the candies were wedding sweets from her older brother, and she also invited her to partake in the joy. The fabric was something Wei Hongyan had exchanged for with someone and was a token of her gratitude.

Yunyi certainly understood her meaning and, with a smile, set the items aside.

Leaning back in the hot spring, she closed her eyes and savored the pleasure it brought to every cell of her body, which made her think of Huo Jingrui.

Although he had the same name, he might not necessarily be the person she was looking for; after all, she could tell that when asked about Dragon Ascend and Bei Mo, he genuinely knew nothing, and that expression was not feigned. Moreover, if he was indeed her Jingrui, he would certainly acknowledge her.

At this moment, the man she was thinking of was leading a team deep in the mountains conducting a thorough search.

Liu Chenglin also participated in this operation. "Boss, these guys are really cunning."

Huo Jingrui examined the traces on the ground. "They are all specially trained, naturally possessing a certain level of counter-surveillance capability. Having already clashed, they will be extra careful."

Another comrade-in-arms then spoke up, "Boss, the relevant personnel will mostly be here by tomorrow afternoon. Should we take them into the cave first, or continue with the roundup?"

Huo Jingrui had already made up his mind. "Why choose? I have requested support from our superiors; it’s better to attack from both ends."

The inquiring comrade-in-arms immediately gave a thumbs up. "Boss is always so wise."

"All right, enough flattery," Huo Jingrui said. "Everyone, rest on the spot for a while. Lu Ligang, on guard."

He then found a place to sit down.

The mention of those relevant experts brought Chu Zhiqing to mind, as she would need to lead the way when the time came. This then reminded him of the somewhat odd question she had asked him that day.

Though she had followed up his question with the answer that she was looking for someone, he could see through her perfunctory response. But for some reason, he always wanted to be close to her. Was it perhaps because she had saved him before, or maybe because he felt guilty for accidentally injuring her with the basketball? He also wondered if she ever regretted saving him after finding out it was he who had caused her nosebleed that time.

She wondered if he’d still be able to bully people at will then.

Judging by the figure, it was certainly the village head, Xu Wenchang. Where was he sneaking off to in the dead of night?
