Rebirth: The Courtyard Bride Is Cool and Radiant

Chapter 711: Chapter 711: Since He Wants a Lovers’ Suicide, He Deserves to Get His Wish

Deputy Director Lu’s face was quite unpleasant, after all, factory safety is under his purview. Although the incident occurred in the residential compound, it is still related to the Security Department.

A few days ago, Hou Yanzhong and his men were arrested, because their external contacts and some fugitives were still at large, the matter has not been disclosed, and people are only speculating, unaware of the actual situation.

Now the incident involving Peng Shanliang causing trouble in the residential compound has emerged, it’s likely the previous events will soon be exposed. As the deputy director overseeing safety, he will naturally have to come forward to take responsibility, but he also feels extremely aggrieved.

After all, according to those people, they had been smuggling fertilizers and defective products out from the factory for a long time, meaning none of his predecessors responsible for safety as deputy director had discovered the loss of defective products.

After all, who would have nothing better to do than run to the warehouse for an inventory?

Huo Jingrui participated in the interrogation of those people throughout. To his surprise, he learned an unexpected piece of news from those people—that the task he previously completed still allowed one criminal to slip through the cracks.

The person never expected that the downfall of these small-fry would implicate her.

When the police appeared before her, she hadn’t realized the situation until she was handcuffed: "What crime have I committed for you to treat me like this?"

Before coming, the bureau had already collected ample evidence, so the police naturally didn’t show her any sympathy: "You know very well why we’re arresting you. If you want evidence, it will all be laid out for you at the bureau."

In the face of facts, arguing was futile, and after a night of silence, she confessed everything the next day.

Out of protection for her daughter, she fully disclosed everything she knew. Soon, another batch of peripheral participants in this ring, newly recruited members who usually ran errands, were arrested.

Huo Jingrui went directly to the Workers’ Hospital just before noon the next day and found Yunyi.

Yunyi watched him come over and, after sending off her last patient, said: "The matter is resolved."

Huo Jingrui nodded and explained the situation to her: "Since they intend to die for love, naturally we must oblige them. But unexpectedly, an unintended remark from him revealed the overlooked minor players from the previous case, pulling the carrot and dragging out the mud, which has indeed helped us greatly."

After hearing his words, Yunyi said: "Isn’t that perfect? You previously mentioned there might be someone who slipped through the net. Now this matter is resolved as thoroughly as it could be."

Huo Jingrui glanced outside the consulting room, seeing the corridor was empty, he held Yunyi’s hand: "Yi’er, although those people were sent back to Beijing directly at the time, errors in the process are inevitable. You must be extra cautious when you go out.

I know you’re skilled, but we can’t be careless. Do you remember that?"

Yunyi understood Huo Jingrui’s concerns. He feared the spies might have fallback options in Beijing. If anyone reached far enough, her information could become exposed, which was indeed possible: "Don’t worry, I’ll be careful. If I hadn’t noticed something amiss and prepared yesterday, he might really have had his way.

Jiayuan’s basic skills aren’t enough for self-defense, and Sister Kailan is still unfit for self-protection. Fortunately, that person truly lacked skills, relying only on an infatuation and getting others involved, attempting a reckless act."

It’s rightly said that concern leads to confusion. Even though he knew Yunyi’s skills, he still feared she’d be negligent, letting others exploit a lapse.

In the following days, news about the clearing of those pests within the factory spread, finally allowing people to understand what really happened. Meanwhile, every greeting among colleagues turned into: "Have you heard?"
