Rebirth: The Courtyard Bride Is Cool and Radiant

Chapter 602: Chapter 602: Didn’t Dare to Act Rashly

It’s clear they weren’t meant to return alive; only dead men keep secrets.

The things she’s done can’t be revealed, and these two have helped him before. She can’t let them go.

After all, she received information—if she doesn’t complete the mission, they’ll change the strategy, and she’ll become a discarded pawn. The Zhong Family might not be a refuge for her then.

She’s left with no choice but to gamble; success or failure is on the line this time.

Clearing her thoughts, she cleared her throat: ”Now we’re all in the same boat. If today’s events are exposed, don’t think you can escape either.”

The man thrown to the ground realized it: ”You scheming bitch, you set us up?”

Zhong Liyuan smiled with a hint of disdain: ”You think money is that easy to take? It’s your greed that’s got you here. Don’t try to outsmart me. Send the person to the place I told you, take the money, and leave. If you don’t comply, don’t expect to get a penny. You better think about the consequences.”

The man supporting someone regretted it deeply, realizing he shouldn’t have been dragged into this mess. His face turned dark knowing the woman would manipulate them with her ruthlessness.

He couldn’t help but blame the person he was holding. If it wasn’t for him being vague and deceitful, he wouldn’t be here. Now he can’t shake himself free.

Given the situation, he quickly calculated in his mind: how can he escape safely?

Whatever happens, it can’t go wrong any further. Before a big mistake is made, it’s crucial to find a way to rectify things, or they’re truly finished.

He didn’t know that even though it was his first time being dragged into this by his brother, the person in his arms was not new to it.

The person in his arms was indeed frightened by Zhong Liyuan’s warning, pondering over how to convince his brother not to back out.

But just while they were confronting each other, a muffled sound came from the sack.

The several people present immediately panicked. Zhong Liyuan urgently said, ”What are you standing around for? Knock the person out and carry them to my designated spot; otherwise, we’re all dead.”

Hearing this, the man supporting the other broke into cold sweat, thinking: Maybe the person in the sack has quite a background; otherwise, why would the woman say such a thing?

Upon hearing this, Yunyi made a guess. Could the person in the sack be Lun Huaijing?

If it is, with people surveilling, yet still managing to take him out, Zhong Liyuan is indeed remarkable.

Looking at the time, remembering the lunch appointment with Wei Zijia, Yunyi started calculating whether to capture everyone now or go back and notify the others?

If capturing them now might ruin the plan and affect the bigger picture. But if notifying the others means they hurt the person in the sack, guilt would eat her alive.

Just when she couldn’t decide, she heard movements not far away.

She looked down the mountain and saw Huo Jingrui coming. Not to alert those people, she swiftly moved towards Huo Jingrui.

Huo Jingrui was about to call out, but seeing the gesture Yunyi made, he understood Yi’er must have discovered something.

Using Qinggong, he appeared next to Yunyi within seconds: ”Yi’er, what happened?”

Yunyi checked the surroundings, then whispered, ”Zhong Liyuan and two strong men carried a sack up the mountain. I suspect it contains Lun Huaijing. Now they’re having a disagreement. I think Zhong Liyuan received some instruction. I didn’t dare to act recklessly. I was troubled, but since you’re here, it’s perfect.”

Huo Jingrui frowned at Yunyi, sharing her thoughts. Despite arranging people to watch Zhong Liyuan, how was she able to snatch Lun Huaijing under their noses and bring him up the mountain?

Simultaneously, Huo Jingrui and Yunyi mouthed, ”Tunnel.”

Only that way could they discreetly take him away.

Huo Jingrui made a decision in his heart: ”Yi’er, I’ll follow them now. You go down the mountain immediately and inform Chief Qiao. He’ll know who to contact. I’ll mark the path for them to follow.”

Yunyi knew the plan might need to be expedited and nodded solemnly: ”Alright, I’ll head down now and join them later to support you. Be careful.”

Knowing it’s not the time for romance, Huo Jingrui warned her to be careful too before chasing in the direction Yunyi pointed.

Yunyi took a look up the mountain before quickly heading down. As she neared the foot, she finally took out the basket from her space.

Passing by the clinic, she was spotted by Chen Xiaojuan, who murmured: ”What’s up with Doctor Chu, not putting the basket down first?”

Yunyi, now with no cares for what’s in the basket, wished she could use Qinggong to avoid scaring people. The matter wasn’t simple; she needed Chief Qiao to quickly notify the armed forces and police.
