Rebirth: The Courtyard Bride Is Cool and Radiant novel Chapter 160

Chapter 160: Chapter 160 Decoding the Password

Huo Jingrui scanned the people in the cave. "Once the personnel from the Armed Forces Department have transported all those boxes away, we’ll leave a team here to protect the experts and ensure their safety. Only then can we go after those people in the mountains."

Yunyi understood his meaning. It wasn’t about fearing every eventuality, but the ’what if’—the unexpected. National interests and the experts’ safety came first.

Huo Jingrui was also worried about the hostages’ safety, but he knew that whether his team went sooner or later, the hostages would face the same predicament. Besides, his men had been tailing them all along. If an emergency arose, they wouldn’t ignore it. Therefore, he had to arrange everything here first before he could leave with peace of mind.

His guess was correct. Those people had taken hostages as an extra precaution, especially since none of the men they’d sent out had returned to report, which greatly unsettled them.

It was just the misfortune of those few individuals; they had risked venturing deep into the mountains merely in search of food. 𝒻𝓇𝑒𝘦𝘸𝑒𝒷𝓃ℴ𝑣𝘦𝑙.𝒸ℴ𝘮

If Qiao Wenyu heard this, he would definitely argue, "We were only chasing a rabbit! How could we have known we’d already ventured deep into the mountains, and then have the misfortune of encountering villains too?"

As they were talking, Jian Zhenzhu spoke, sounding dejected, "They’ve been gone for so long. How could we possibly decrypt it? What if they installed a self-destruct device? Wouldn’t we lose our lives here?"

Lu Jingming hadn’t expected his own protégé, Jian Zhenzhu, to be like this. "You can leave with the Armed Forces personnel who are transporting the materials shortly."

Although Lu Jingming didn’t say it aloud, he knew that even if Jian Zhenzhu left this place, he wouldn’t be able to return to the Capital immediately. After all, they were on a secret mission, and Jian Zhenzhu wouldn’t regain his freedom until they completed their task.

Yunyi truly disdained Jian Zhenzhu’s character. How on earth had he caught Lu Jingming’s eye and become his disciple?

Since they couldn’t leave for the time being, Yunyi and Huo Jingrui walked over. They saw that the first combination lock had been decrypted, but unexpectedly, there was another one inside that also needed to be deciphered. Perhaps due to extreme tension, Lu Jingming’s and Si Huaiyuan’s results consistently differed. They dared not enter any solution rashly, fearing a trap.
