Rebirth: The Courtyard Bride Is Cool and Radiant

Chapter 606: Chapter 606: Guessed Right

Huo Jingrui nodded and said, ”Yes, I’ve seen this person before, but it’s my first time seeing him here. Most of the information I have about him comes from the data; I’ve never confronted him face to face, just know that he’s extremely cunning.”

Upon hearing this, Yunyi felt reassured. This time, they could finally catch everyone in one swoop, and Huo Jingrui could complete his mission.

Last time, this cunning Huang Yibang managed to escape. This time, they really have to keep an eye on him.

Unexpectedly, just as she thought this, Jingrui said, ”Yi’er, I’ll go check the other side of the cliff. We can’t have this cave having other exits; there’s no way we can let Huang Yibang escape again.”

Yunyi nodded and said, ”Okay, why don’t we go together?”

Huo Jingrui looked around, and the comrades who came to support them were well-hidden: ”Alright, then let’s go together.”

After all, those people have guns in their hands. He thought it’d be more reassuring to keep Yi’er under his watchful eyes.

Huo Jingrui first went to talk to the people over there, then took Yunyi towards the other side of the cliff.

Only after they got out of sight and confirmed they wouldn’t be discovered did they utilize their Qinggong, easily reaching the top of the cliff, then proceeding to the back of the cave direction.

As it turned out, Huo Jingrui’s guess was correct.

If not for their keen senses, they might not have discovered the entrance at the back. It could be said that an average person wouldn’t find this entrance since it’s completely covered and concealed by vines.

Huo Jingrui wouldn’t have noticed either if he hadn’t felt a cool breeze blowing from there. The entrance was very small—Huo Jingrui could barely squeeze through; anyone taller or heavier would have to just look at it wistfully.

Inside the cave was a whole different world. First, there was a winding passage that could accommodate two people walking side by side, with a height of about two meters.

After walking about two hundred meters, the front widened up.

It was clear that the previous two hundred meters of passage were artificially chiseled, while the front part of the cave seemed naturally formed. But as they went further, it narrowed again, eventually leading to a low cave where they had to crouch to continue forward.

After walking forward for about three hundred meters, they finally sensed a light ahead, guessing they were close to where those people were. They didn’t expect, however, that the cave bent ahead. They continued walking for a while before they heard voices talking.

Huo Jingrui quickly made a gesture for silence, and the two carefully crept forward.

The closer they got, the clearer they heard the conversation: ”Boss, are you sure that as long as we take this kid, the Lun Family will definitely give in?”

”This person is the only heir of the Lun Family’s third branch. I bet they’ll definitely do anything to protect him. Without him, the third branch would have no descendants. If old man Lun doesn’t take action, his third son’s family might turn against him.”

”But taking him with us is just a burden.”

”But as long as he’s in our hands, he’s a trump card.”

”When will the vehicle picking us up arrive?”

”It will arrive at Elm Ridge at midnight. We’ll start moving at the evening hour since transporting these things down the mountain will take time.”

”Are just a few of us enough to carry everything?”

”We’ll sort through things in a bit and decide what to take with us. Whatever we can’t carry, we’ll just leave behind. After all, material things aren’t as important as life, are they?”

After clearly hearing what they were saying, the two hurriedly retraced their steps, realizing they needed to quickly notify the people down the mountain to change the direction of their deployment.

Once outside, they restored that entrance to its previous state. To ensure nothing went wrong, Yunyi directly sprinkled some Spatial Well Water around, confident that when those people came out, they wouldn’t notice a trace.
