Rebirth in the 50s: The Couple with the Hidden Space novel Chapter 840

Chapter 840: Chapter 713: Wits Against Criminals

After a moment of silence, listening to the footsteps clearer in the dead of night, She looked up gratefully at Yi Jiefang and said softly, "I’ll be more mindful in the future."

Yi Jiefang rolled his eyes at her. That kind of talk is for fooling kids; he didn’t believe it. This stubborn girl is so naïve, a bookworm! She didn’t even realize she got caught up in Professor Wei’s words, that sly old fox.

"Come on, start as you mean to go on. Check it for me. I’m going to lie down for a bit."

Yi Jiefang was more than happy for her to sleep first, quickly taking over, and waved her away! Check? What’s there to check! Dawn was approaching, and it might not need power at all.

After the footsteps outside stopped, and no one entered, Yi Jiefang sneered, secretly cursing. Some people at this power station are goddamn scoundrels!

Looking at the classmates in the machine room, exhausted and oblivious, then at Zhou Jiao curled up asleep. A surge of anger rose in Yi Jiefang’s heart, and he quickly went to open the main door.

The person outside probably didn’t expect the door to open suddenly. The look of surprise quickly returned to normal under the light, with a sheepish smile, "It’s not safe here, I came to check."

Yi Jiefang, with a stern expression, rebuked, "Check for what? Do you know your footsteps interrupt our thinking? Can you afford it if anything inside is lost? And at this ungodly hour, what are you, a man, running over here for? There are young girls here, you better not have any dirty thoughts."

The other person, perhaps not expecting Yi Jiefang’s harsh words, immediately darkened his expression.

Would Yi Jiefang be scared of you? This is his territory! Before the other could speak, he dropped his expression and loudly demanded, "Speak up, what do you want? Your work ID? Apart from having ill intentions, I seriously suspect you’re here to steal our secrets! Inside are calculation drafts and drawings, are you planning to get your hands on those?"

In the dead of night, the commotion here immediately alerted the distant patrolling personnel and the resting teachers and students. Soon, a group of people hurried over.

"...Stop talking nonsense! I even suspect you’re having improper relations and damaging state property."

Zhou Jiao had long been awakened, standing at the door observing, worried about Yi Jiefang being at a disadvantage. Hearing this, she grabbed a stick and flung it at the other person’s head!

"Murder! Help, murder..."

Under the light, Zhou Jiao saw the other’s tattered clothes and knew this was a vile person who liked to rise through slander. No matter your background, she’ll hit first and ask later.

"Da Yi, guard the door and protect the data. This is an enemy agent! Don’t let him in! Everyone wake up, we caught an enemy agent!"

With that shout, a few in the machine room woke with a start, grabbing sticks and iron bars, rushing to the door.

In the blink of an eye, Yi Jiefang, holding the door, stood there stupefied, watching Zhou Jiao shout while hitting the opponent with an iron shovel, smashing with all her might.

"What’s going on, Da Yi?

"Where is he? Did you catch him?"

Yi Jiefang didn’t know how to describe his feelings, glancing at a few classmates behind him, he smirked, "Over there!"

"Girls, guard the door. Zhou Jiao, be careful, he might have a weapon!" Shen Yunshi warned, holding up a stick but not reaching in time.

Only to see the middle-aged man on the ground, beaten down by Zhou Jiao, really stand up and pull out a butcher’s knife!

Zhou Jiao’s pupils contracted at this, a real jinx! She prepared her sedative, watching people rushing around. If so many couldn’t restrain one person...

"You bitch, I’ll kill you!" The other raised the knife and lunged at Zhou Jiao.

Yi Jiefang, frightened, shouted, "Jiao Jiao, watch out!"
