Reborn in the 80s: The Smart Wife with a Secret Space

Chapter 1225: Chapter 1225: Who’s There? Show Yourself

Watching the person rushing upward, she found a hidden spot, stowed away the breakfast in hand into the space, and then climbed the wall to take a shortcut.

With each leap, it truly felt like she was exerting herself to the limit for the first time in her life.

Fortunately, it didn’t take long before she caught up to them from behind. Watching the figure ahead, she kept asking herself in her mind, "Could he be the person I’ve been looking for?"

But she still found it hard to believe. After searching for so long with her grandfather without any news, she just happened upon him like this. So she didn’t dare to blink, fearing she might lose him.

Yet, the few people ahead seemed like they had eaten Popeye’s spinach and persisted in tirelessly chasing after him, which really riled him up.

They finally reached an abandoned factory, and the person no longer had the strength to run, collapsing directly to the ground: "Who are you people, and what do you want to do to me?"

Xinyan had been following closely behind them. Seeing them stop, she hid behind a pillar.

The people chasing him were all panting heavily, hands on their knees, catching their breath. Finally, after they caught their breath, they arrogantly said, "Can’t run anymore? Why aren’t you running?"

The person stared defiantly at the people in front of him: "Who sent you?"

"Who sent us is none of your business. But you sure are cautious, hiding so well. I heard that several times before, you managed to slip away from others, quite impressive indeed.

Yet, meeting our brothers, it’s your unlucky day. Today, you couldn’t escape even if you had wings."

The person laughed out loud: "Think you can catch me? Not a chance. I, Gu Yize, would rather die than let you succeed."

"Oh, looking to die? I’m afraid that won’t go your way. The higher-ups said to keep you alive."

When Xinyan heard the person shout ’Gu Yize,’ her eyes reddened instantly. It really was Second Uncle. Seeing his current bedraggled state, what exactly had he endured all these years?

Xinyan feared he might have a suicidal resolve and was about to call out to stop him, but she lost her footing, making a noise.

Those people, naturally being streetwise, couldn’t miss it: "Who’s there? Come out!"

Since she was discovered, Xinyan no longer hid and walked out directly.

"Who are you?"

"The one to send you where you belong."

"Oh, you little girl, quite arrogant, but quite charming too."

Just as he said this, he was kicked away by someone rushing out from the side.

First, there was an ’ah’ sound, followed by a ’crack,’ and then a ’bang."

The person fell to the ground and didn’t get up for quite a while.

His companions all glared fiercely at the unexpected guests: "Who are you people, daring to mess up our business? Do you have a death wish?"

Xinyan was a bit startled, looking at the person standing next to her: "Why are you here?"

He Jinxuan looked her up and down before relaxing: "On a mission."

Xinyan thought of something and felt a sweetness in her heart, knowing he must have specifically requested this mission. She initially wanted to ask ’how did he find her.’

But those people gave no chance, as someone was already charging over.

He Jinxuan quickly spoke, "Be careful. I’ll explain when we’re back."

At the same time, another voice came over: "Be careful; they have knives."

Soon, the two were surrounded in the middle. Fortunately, both Xinyan and He Jinxuan were quite skilled, or else they would have had a hard time.

However, Xinyan didn’t want to get entangled in the fight, nor did she want to waste unnecessary energy, fearing that her grandfather would worry if she didn’t return for too long.

From the space, she took out a packet of anesthetic powder, signaling He Jinxuan to hold his breath.

As her hand rose, the two immediately held their breaths and swiftly moved aside.

Those people, realizing something was amiss, backed off, but not without inhaling some of the powder. One of them shouted, "You b*tch, what have you done?"

But just as he finished yelling, he fell directly to the ground.

The others were stunned, but then one by one, they collapsed, leaving a few guarding Gu Yize completely dumbfounded: "You, you, what did you do to them?"
