Rebirth: The Courtyard Bride Is Cool and Radiant

Chapter 567: Chapter 567: Tonight’s Events Will Stay Buried Within Me

She knew she was being a bit unreasonable, but she was really too worried about Lun Huaijing. Firstly, she didn’t know how he was doing now, and secondly, she was afraid those people would use her to threaten him, so she had to hurry back to the village.

Yunyi naturally didn’t refuse, but she opened her mouth and said, "I’ll only be responsible for taking you to the foot of the mountain. But this is a secret between us; I don’t want others to know."

Tao Yuran thought Yunyi was afraid that those who came for her and Lun Huaijing would retaliate against her, nodded in agreement, "What happened tonight, I’ll keep it to myself. Actually, I don’t want anyone to know."

There was silence all the way, Tao Yuran followed behind Yunyi, staggering to the foot of the mountain.

However, Lun Huaijing’s courtyard had already returned to calm, and Tao Yuran panicked. She ran madly into the open courtyard, shouting, "Huaijing, Huaijing."

After looking around inside and outside the house without seeing anyone, she turned around and ran towards the Branch Secretary’s house.

Yunyi followed her at a distance, not to protect Tao Yuran, after all, she only promised to take her down the mountain, and what happened after was not her business. The reason she followed was to see the outcome.

When they arrived at the Branch Secretary’s house, it was quiet, and none of the lights inside were on. She didn’t know whether she should knock on the door.

It was Yunyi who came over and suggested, "You might want to check the brigade office."

These words reminded Tao Yuran, she turned around and ran towards there, not even bothering to consider why Chuyunyi hadn’t left yet.

Just as Yunyi thought, now the Songling Village brigade office was brightly lit.

Inside, Huo Jingrui seemed to have sensed something and got up to walk outside.

As he came out, he couldn’t help but glance at the tree where Yunyi was hiding.

He stepped out of the brigade office, walked under that tree, and seeing no one was following, Yunyi directly hung upside down on the tree, facing Huo Jingrui.

Huo Jingrui was afraid she would be uncomfortable like that and supported her, "You will feel uncomfortable in a while, sit up quickly."

Yunyi also didn’t want to disturb him for long, "Didn’t let those people succeed, right?"

Huo Jingrui said softly, "No, Zhong Liyuan’s plan failed, but Lun Huaijing is not a pushover. When he noticed something was wrong, he used their tricks against them, directly placing those things into Guo Aibing’s courtyard."

Yunyi understood this now, the unlucky one now was Guo Aibing, truly brought this upon himself.

Having learned the aftermath, she lost her curiosity, explained how she saved Tao Yuran to Huo Jingrui, and then left directly as it was her beauty sleep time; she was just too tired.

Huo Jingrui watched her disappear into the woods, only then did he turn his gaze away.

As soon as Tao Yuran was found missing, he immediately sent people to search, unexpectedly she was saved by Yunyi.

He turned back into the courtyard, whispered a few words at the gate to a police officer, who nodded at him and then mingled with a few plainclothes officers into the crowd, trying to gather some clues from their conversations.

Amidst the crowd, Zhong Liyuan felt a burst of frustration after seeing his plan fail again.

Clearly planned so meticulously, why did it fail again?

After today’s incident, Lun Huaijing would probably be more cautious; and that Guo Aibing was indeed foolish, failing to harm him but getting himself tangled instead.

She was afraid now that Guo Aibing wouldn’t withstand the brutal interrogation and expose her, which would risk exposing her identity.
