Rebirth: The Courtyard Bride Is Cool and Radiant novel Chapter 725

Chapter 725: Chapter 725: Has Anyone Been Caught?

Yunyi smiled and nodded at Lu Licheng as a greeting.

Seeing that Huo Jiayuan wasn’t paying attention to this side, she gestured a thumbs-up to him and mouthed the word, "Good luck."

It wasn’t hard to guess that this man was here for Huo Jiayuan; after all, the look in one’s eyes never lies.

Lu Licheng didn’t expect Huo Jingrui’s fiancée to be so interesting: "Thank you."

Lu Licheng knew how Huo Jiayuan was in the compound. Watching her skillfully cook noodles, add water, and fish them out, he felt an inexplicable pang of heartache. If it weren’t for that damned Du Shujian, this girl wouldn’t have been forced to grow up.

After all, the whole compound knew Aunt Huo had no talent for cooking, and Huo Jiayuan had never entered the kitchen since she was young, fearing she might have inherited her mother’s lack of culinary skills.

Yet, after experiencing Du Shujian’s betrayal, this girl had grown astonishingly in a short period.

Like Huo Jingrui, Lu Licheng was reserved except when it came to those he liked.

After exchanging a few words with him, Yunyi went into the kitchen.

After helping Huo Jiayuan, the noodles were soon ready.

Since she had surgery in the afternoon, she ate and then planned to rest at the Tubular Building, not wanting to be a third wheel here.

Just as she reached the door, she saw Accountant Lu sneaking out, and she couldn’t help but frown and glance in the direction he was headed.

But there was nothing to see.

On the other hand, Huo Jingrui and the technical team had just completed today’s experiments and returned to the mechanical factory when they received some news.

The technical department had been robbed.

Only after the police had taken a look did Huo Jingrui enter the scene. As he walked around, he found a heel print in an inconspicuous spot and beckoned to the police officers talking nearby: "Look here." 𝕗𝐫𝚎𝗲𝘄𝐞𝕓𝐧𝕠𝘃𝕖𝐥.𝐜𝚘𝚖

After carefully comparing the footprint, the officers speculated that it might be a footprint left by the perpetrator. They took a sample and quickly arranged for interviews and investigations around the factory.

Yunyi heard about it when she left the operation room that afternoon: "Is there any progress on the case? Were they caught?"

The nurse behind her replied: "Things are surprisingly smooth; a child actually helped crack the case."

Director Qiao showed interest: "Tell us, what’s going on?"

The nurse said quietly: "No one would have guessed that the person who stole the design drawings was Chief Lu from the finance department."

As soon as she said this, everyone was stunned, wearing expressions of disbelief. After all, Chief Lu always seemed quite clever and had risen to the position of chief; how could he have done such a thing?

The young nurse smiled mysteriously: "Word is, Chief Lu’s brother got into trouble, and rescuing him required three thousand yuan. But in Chief Lu’s family, only his salary is decent; others don’t earn much, so raising three thousand yuan overnight is nothing short of a dream.
