Rebirth: The Courtyard Bride Is Cool and Radiant novel Chapter 709

Chapter 709: Chapter 709: Ambushed

The three of them only started heading back at noon. If Grandma Su hadn’t said they were having dumplings today, they might have kept wandering.

Everyone carried something in their hands.

Gui Kailan bought a lot of local specialties to give as gifts back home, including the local baijiu, cigarettes, and some deer antler jelly and dried wood ear mushrooms.

Huo Jiayuan bought a pair of shoes, and the rest were all snacks.

The three of them entered the residential compound, chatting and laughing. After a few steps, Yunyi sensed something was wrong.

She extended her spiritual power and looked around, spotting someone hiding a few steps away from them.

Before she could say anything, the person came charging out, targeting Huo Jiayuan who was walking closest to the edge.

Ignoring anything else, Yunyi threw her things to the side, first pulling Gui Kailan out of the way, and reassured her, "Don’t be afraid."

She was already moving towards Huo Jiayuan, and just as the person’s hand was about to touch Huo Jiayuan, Yunyi pulled her forward, leaving the assailant empty-handed, directly meeting Yunyi’s gaze.

Huo Jiayuan hadn’t even reacted to what was happening, when she heard Yunyi say, "Take Sister Kailan and head home first."

She was truly afraid that Gui Kailan might get frightened again; she had just recovered, and couldn’t afford a setback.

Huo Jiayuan, after all, was a child who grew up in the army compound and had practiced some skills since childhood, though she wasn’t particularly skilled. She couldn’t just abandon her Fourth Sister-in-law: "You be careful."

After saying that, she quickly jogged to Gui Kailan’s side: "Sister Kailan, don’t be afraid."

Without time to offer more comfort, she shouted to the security staff in the distance, "Hurry over, there’s a bad guy here."

Hearing the shout, the security rushed over. As they got closer, they saw the man wielding a dagger, and the person fighting him turned out to be Vice Factory Director Huo’s fiancée, Doctor Chu.
