Rebirth: The Courtyard Bride Is Cool and Radiant novel Chapter 296

Chapter 296: Chapter 296: Letting the Wolf into the House

After a busy morning, just as it was almost time to get off work, Chief Qiao entered the health clinic with a dark expression on his face.

Yunyi, who had just come from the ward at the back, ran right into him. "Chief Qiao."

Chief Qiao’s gloomy expression softened slightly. "Doctor Chu, I’ve come to visit the injured comrades."

They nodded at each other and then went their separate ways.

Chief Qiao had visited before, so he knew very well which ward the injured personnel were in.

He had just returned from the county. The responsibility for this accident, caused by misfired explosives, had been clearly determined: it was mainly the blaster’s fault. However, the public security department also said they couldn’t rule out sabotage.

In this incident, eight members of their Agricultural Reclamation Group were injured. Six were brought back here to the health clinic, and two were sent to the county hospital. One of them was seriously injured, and whether he could recover was up to fate. Their families would arrive within half a day, and he still didn’t know how to explain the situation to them.

It was truly worrisome.

A meeting was underway in the county public security bureau’s conference room: "The child definitely cannot remain with Guo Shuiyu, his aunt." 𝑓𝑟𝑒𝘦𝓌𝑒𝑏𝑛𝑜𝘷𝑒𝘭.𝒸𝘰𝑚

"Have the people around Guo been ferreted out?"

"We have the results. It was one of Guo’s students. Due to his poor family circumstances, Guo had taken him home for meals a few times, and the student developed greedy thoughts. He was the one who leaked information about the child here, aiming to eradicate the Guo Family’s descendants and seize the Guo Family’s assets."

After the meeting ended, Huo Jingrui wanted to return to Hua’an Farm Reclamation to see Yunyi, but he feared bringing danger to her. So, he suppressed the longing in his heart, focusing only on getting through the New Year quickly. Then he could submit a marriage application and bring her to his side. For some reason, that girl’s pull on him was growing stronger and stronger. Thinking about this case, he felt a lingering dissatisfaction. If they couldn’t root out the remaining culprits, there would likely be a series of troubles ahead. Those who should confess had already done so. As for the other branch of people they mentioned, they had no contact with them; the only person who had been in contact with that side was already dead. It could be said that unless that group made a move, they would be impossible to find. It looked like he would have to report this situation and await instructions from above. He hadn’t anticipated their reach being so extensive. If not for the unexpected turn of events with Guo Anyi, those people might very well have succeeded. If something were to happen to Guo’s grandson and daughter because of this, those people, with just a little manipulation, could transfer ownership of the experimental data. The consequences would be unthinkable. It seemed a long-term approach was necessary.
