Rebirth: The Courtyard Bride Is Cool and Radiant Chapter 690: Poisoned by Someone

Huo Jingrui moved swiftly and quickly found the people eting with Master Qiu at the warehouse, thanks to the portrait Yunyi had provided.

After secretly tracking them, it was discovered that these people were actually selling supplies under the table. They were different from the black market dealers; they were stealing factory materials by colluding with insiders and resorting to inside and outside coordination.

Of course, they dared not touch the genuine product warehouse; they targeted those semi-finished or defective items instead. The insiders deceived the higher-ups by underreporting, omitting, or duplicating reports. Master Qiu was about to retire in two years, and he probably thought that once he left, even if it were uncovered, the bla wouldn’t fall on him. After all, those warehouses were only audited once a quarter, mostly just a formality.

In order not to alert the culprits, Huo Jingrui decided with Director Feng not to involve the factory’s security departnt. After all, this wasn’t the first ti they had done this, and they suspected that soone in the security departnt was also involved.

Otherwise, in the previous instances, how did they manage to transport the goods out? It couldn’t have all been sneaked out over the wall.

Moreover, while investigating this matter, Huo Jingrui found that other factories were facing similar issues.

The police had already intervened in secret, and those involved were destined for serious consequences. This wasn’t a minor issue, especially since it involved several factories.

Huo Jingrui hadn’t been able to return to his small courtyard for days due to this investigation.

When Yunyi saw him again, it was a week later: "Are you done with it?"

Huo Jingrui’s eyes were full of exhaustion, he nodded slightly at Yunyi. They had caught the people, but no news had leaked out yet.

So the matter hadn’t spread through the factory.

Yunyi felt a twinge of pity: "Go grab so clothes and take a bath. There’s still so mutton sauce from Grandma Su’s midday cooking. I’ll make you a bowl of noodles."

Huo Jingrui was indeed too tired. He hadn’t slept much these past few days.

Grandma Su heard the commotion and ca over, saw Huo Jingrui: "How busy have you been? Why don’t you take care of yourself."

Even though she said that, after spending so much ti together, Grandma Su had long considered everyone as family, and her heart was full of care.

After getting cleaned up, Huo Jingrui ate three bowls of mutton noodles in a row and finally felt revived.

Yunyi handed him a bowl of noodle soup: "Drink this and go get a good sleep. Whatever needs to be done can wait until after you’ve rested."

Huo Jingrui didn’t try to argue, took the small pouch Yunyi handed him, and headed back to the factory. Who knew when he would wake up this ti, better sleep at the factory.

And previously, the person with the strange sll, Ding Hongye, finally showed up: "Why haven’t you co around for such a long ti?"

Ding Hongye looked a bit embarrassed: "There were family matters, got delayed."

In fact, what she didn’t say was that it wasn’t a delay but being tied down by her family, making it hard to get away.

Yunyi took the blood test report from the drawer and glanced outside: "I personally collected your test report, and I haven’t let anyone else see it."

Ding Hongye’s head shot up, not expecting Yunyi to say that.

After a while, maybe coming to terms, she said: "Thank you."

Yunyi spoke in a low voice: "You’ve been poisoned with a chronic toxin. If you had delayed coming a few more months, not even the Daluo Deity could have helped."

Thinking of sothing, she continued: "The strange sll on you is probably another of their tricks, just to keep people from getting close and noticing changes in your body."

A glint of hatred flashed in Ding Hongye’s eyes. It was indeed murder without a trace.

Yunyi truly hadn’t thought that in this day and age, there were still people using such sinister thods to harm others.
