Rebirth: The Courtyard Bride Is Cool and Radiant

Chapter 467: Chapter 467: Struck by a Stroke of Incredible Luck

Yunyi didn’t stay too long at Ye Wenhui’s place; after all, she wasn’t the only person living in that dormitory. After confirming that there were no other injuries besides the wrist, she left her homemade ointment behind and departed.

Over the next few days, the atmosphere in the Agricultural Reclamation Group remained quite tense, especially since many people from the family quarters had been taken away by Public Security.

In the Educated Youth Team, aside from Ye Wenjuan, several others were also taken away. Consequently, the entire Agricultural Reclamation Group was in a state of anxiety, fearing they might be implicated and taken away by Public Security one day.

A similar atmosphere permeated the neighboring forestry station, where it was rumored that many people had also been taken away by Public Security.

As for the county town, it went without saying. If not for the early deployment of control measures, a major incident might have occurred. Those people truly had no humanity, daring to plant dangerous items at the steel plant, a cinema, and even a school.

Fortunately, the Municipal Public Security Bureau and the County Armed Forces Department assisted with the inspection and discovered clues in time. If there had been any negligence in even one place, the consequences would have been unimaginable.

Of course, the atmosphere in the county had also been extremely tense these past few days. A considerable number of people were involved. Anyone who had even slightly close links with those individuals was within the scope of the investigation.

After five consecutive days, news finally arrived.

Ye Wenjuan had some damned luck. The enemy agent she was in contact with had been killed in the mountains. She insisted she was a victim, claiming she had merely passed on a message and was innocent.

Public Security had no evidence, so they could only release her.

Although Ye Wenjuan was released, her reputation was ruined. Many people were now speaking ill of her behind her back.

As for Ye Wenhui’s kidnapping, few people in the Agricultural Reclamation Group knew about it in the first place. Coupled with Qiao Shaoguo’s early preventative measures, not a single word leaked out.

Even if Ye Wenjuan harbored suspicions, she didn’t dare to make wild guesses. If she dared to speak out, her connections with the enemy agent couldn’t be concealed. Naturally, she did not dare provoke Ye Wenhui.

But from that point on, Ye Wenjuan harbored even greater hatred towards Ye Wenhui and Chuyunyi.

When Yunyi saw Huo Jingrui again, it was already half a month later.

He still chose the time when Yunyi was just getting off work, ”Jingrui, have you finished your tasks?”

Over the past few days, Huo Jingrui had been busy not only with work at the factory but also with the case; he was really stretched too thin. No matter how busy he was, whenever he had free time, his thoughts were filled with Yunyi.

Ever since the two recognized each other, each meeting had been hasty. The more he thought about Yunyi, the more his heart ached and itched with longing.

And now, as soon as he was free, he couldn’t wait to run over, ”Yi’er, I came to bring you something.”

After speaking, he lifted the package in his hand, ”My mother sent another parcel, but this time it was sent directly to my place.”

It was none other than Mrs. Jiang Jingya who, upon learning that her son had no time for dates with his future daughter-in-law, couldn’t contain herself. Fearing that her hard-won future daughter-in-law might slip away, she cleverly came up with this idea.

Instead of sending the parcel directly to Yunyi, she sent it to her son. She deliberately included some perishable foods and snacks, worried that her son, if he got too busy, would forget about the parcel. Then she would call three times a day to remind him, ”The food in the parcel doesn’t last long. Deliver it right away once you get it. Don’t waste all my painstaking effort.”

Huo Jingrui naturally knew what his mother meant. And he, too, longed for Yi’er just as much. As soon as he finished his work today, he hurried over, truly missing her terribly.

Yunyi couldn’t help but look at the package in his hand, ”Where did this come from?”

Huo Jingrui’s lips curled into a smile, ”Your mother-in-law sent it from Beijing. I’m almost jealous.”
