Chapter 35: Chapter 35: Letting Down the Old Man’s Kind Intentions

Thinking of that young girl, anxiety stirred within him as he scanned the room, but he didn’t spot the person who was supposed to meet him.

Jiang Jingya asked hurriedly, "Son, who are you looking for?"

Huo Jingrui frowned. "Where’s the person who brought me here? Why can’t I see anyone?"

Jiang Jingya still thought her son was asking about them because of the mission. "The others are still on their tasks. The comrade who stayed to take care of you went out to make a phone call."

On hearing this, Huo Jingrui couldn’t help but feel a surge of urgency.

That young girl drew them away to save me. But those men... every single one of them is vicious and ruthless. I wonder how she is now? Is she safe? Did she manage to escape?

Jiang Jingya kept watching her son’s expression. "Son, are you feeling unwell somewhere?"

Just then, footsteps sounded from outside the door, and the person Jiang Jingya mentioned who had gone to make a phone call walked in.

Huo Jingrui called out anxiously, "Liu Cheng."

Liu Cheng hurried to the bedside. "Commander, you really scared us to death! Thank goodness you’re alright."

Huo Jingrui had no time to discuss this. "What about those people?"

Liu Cheng understood the commander’s meaning and leaned in to whisper in Huo Jingrui’s ear, "The items have been safely escorted back to the research institute. When we searched the area, we found five bodies nearby, but we’re still confirming their identities."

Panic flared in Huo Jingrui, but he quickly changed his line of questioning. "Did it implicate any of the local residents?"

Liu Cheng shook his head. "No, fortunately, there weren’t many people around at that time."

Yunyi returned home and started preparing the luggage for her upcoming time in the countryside. 𝑓𝓇𝘦ℯ𝘸𝘦𝑏𝓃𝑜𝘷ℯ𝑙.𝑐𝑜𝓂
