Rebirth: The Courtyard Bride Is Cool and Radiant

Chapter 554: Chapter 554: Restoring Peace to Everyone as Soon as Possible

Huo Jingrui skillfully placed the washed dishes into the cupboard: ”His excuse for accompanying Qiao Wenyu to the countryside was just a pretext. In fact, it was because he was worried his second sister’s time in the countryside would delay her marriage, so he took action first and reported later.

Back then, his second sister was crying her eyes out; he really stepped up to take responsibility.”

Yunyi thought for a moment and asked, ”How are his family members? Are they good?”

Huo Jingrui laughed: ”Starting to gather intel this early?”

Yunyi pinched his waist: ”Stop diverging and quickly tell me what you know.”

Huo Jingrui smiled indulgently: ”Alright, alright, I’ll tell you now.”

While tidying up the kitchen, he gave Yunyi an overview of the Zheng Family’s situation.

Zheng Xuewen’s mother is indeed a bit picky, but the people in the courtyard more or less have these tendencies. After all, everyone wants their children to marry someone of equal standing, and that’s understandable.

The Zheng Family, overall, is quite decent, but they definitely have their little schemes. For example, their eldest sister-in-law is worried that the Zhengs might support their other children with money, and their younger sister likes to assert herself in the courtyard.

During these times, it’s normal for every family to have lots of kids, each with their own ideas, as long as they don’t go too far.

The Huo Family is no different. The siblings have close relationships, but the eldest sister-in-law likes to have the final say, the third sister-in-law likes to assert herself, although the two sisters-in-law are quite nice.

Although I didn’t meet everyone when I visited the Huo Family last time, I could tell from their conversations that what Huo Jingrui said was true.

Huo Jingrui completed the chores, didn’t stay long, snuck in a moment of intimacy, and then left for the headquarters.

After all, trying to catch that person with just his own strength is limited. The Agricultural Reclamation Group and the forest farm’s security team must get involved, as all signs indicate that the person might be hiding nearby.

It’s crucial to pool everyone’s efforts and dig them out as soon as possible while ensuring everyone’s safety to eliminate future problems.

By the time Huo Jingrui arrived at the headquarters, Qiao Shaoguo was already waiting there: ”Are you here for new task arrangements?”

Huo Jingrui nodded to Captain Song of the security team and Deputy Chief Geng seated inside, then sat down and explained the situation: ”So when our security team members patrol, they must pay extra attention to any suspicious individuals and report any findings promptly.

Of course, this task can’t be completed overnight. So, I ask both captains to reinforce this daily during meetings, reminding everyone to always remember their responsibilities.”

After all, the person is cornered and might recklessly take desperate measures: ”Tomorrow, I’ll accompany Chief Qiao to the forest side, and everyone will coordinate defenses to catch the person early and restore peace for everyone.”

The two captains naturally understood that as long as that person wasn’t caught, the Agricultural Reclamation Group wasn’t safe, especially since their families were also there, so they couldn’t slack off.

They discussed specific defense details a bit more and then dispersed.

After Qiao Tuan and the captain left, Huo Jingrui lay on the bed in Chief Qiao’s office, unable to sleep a wink.

He was just waiting to go out and take care of business in the dead of night.

Sharing this silent resolve was Yunyi. Unlike Huo Jingrui, she didn’t wait for everyone to fall asleep but set an alarm clock, went to sleep, and waited for its call.

Once the alarm rang, Yunyi got up, put on a set of dark clothes she normally didn’t wear outside, and hurriedly left the courtyard.

The two of them probably didn’t expect to meet at the Zhang Family Village Zhiqing Point.
