Reborn in the 80s: The Smart Wife with a Secret Space-Chapter 1087: Ambush and Confrontation

Because their target was clear, the car went directly to that house. With Xinyan cooperating with their actions, they naturally quickly discovered the secret passage, and just as Xinyan had thought, that secret room was not just for storage. Following the passage, there were two exits. 𝙛𝒓𝒆𝙚𝒘𝒆𝓫𝙣𝓸𝙫𝓮𝒍.𝒄𝒐𝓶

One led to the back mountain, and the other to a courtyard several hundred meters away.

Leaving people to confiscate everything below, they also seized two radio *** sets from inside. After quickly reporting to the commander at the command center, the nature of the mission was immediately escalated.

Leaving a portion of the people to handle matters here, the others rushed to the hideout of those people.

With Xinyan leading the way, they avoided many detours.

Among those executing the mission, some were already familiar with the terrain here. Additionally, it was daytime now, so their progress was naturally much faster.

Three hours later, they were a hundred meters away from the abandoned mine.

Xinyan reminded them that there wasn’t much stored food here, so every day someone would go out hunting, and everyone needed to be cautious to avoid being discovered, which could disrupt their trapping plans.

The leader, An Jianming, who also knew Han Jingchen, whispered to Han Jingchen, "Your daughter is something else. Others would have been scared out of their wits by now. Truly, like father, like daughter."

After speaking, he gave Han Jingchen a thumbs-up.

Originally, Commander An hadn’t intended to let Han Jingchen participate, but Han Jingchen couldn’t feel at ease about his daughter, so he joined the action directly.

The commander immediately issued orders, instructing everyone to hide around the target’s abandoned pit and await the next command.

Additionally, three scouts were dispatched to monitor the target up close and report any developments promptly.

He Jinxuan had just completed the task assigned by Han Jingchen and returned to the suburban courtyard when he learned that Xinyan hadn’t come back, and Han Jingchen had also gone out after receiving her call.

Worried sick, he made numerous calls, and only after hearing from Commander An that they were all safe did he finally calm down.

Originally, he wanted to ask Commander An to help find them, but considering the confidentiality principle, he just couldn’t bring himself to say it.

Besides, since his father-in-law wasn’t home, and it was uncertain when they would return, leaving only his mother-in-law and brother-in-law at home made him uneasy, so he stayed, thinking that even if he couldn’t stand shoulder to shoulder with them, guarding the rear would give him peace of mind.

He left word for Commander An to inform them promptly so they could be reassured.

To avoid suspicion, he arranged for Aunt Chen and Uncle Chen to stay in the courtyard tonight as well.

Unexpectedly, something did happen that evening.

The people guarding the darkness outside were lured away one by one, ultimately trapped outside by a group three to four times their number.

After that, someone climbed over the wall into the courtyard.

He Jinxuan was the first to keenly notice the commotion. He immediately knocked on Uncle Chen and Aunt Chen’s door, directing them to follow him to the master bedroom.

The three had just reached the door when Gu Wanqing opened it.

She had already changed her clothes, put on her shoes, clearly prepared: "Brother Chen, Sister Chen, please help me guard Chaojun inside."

The elderly couple was somewhat flustered: "Should we call Jingchen and Yanyan for help?"

He Jinxuan comforted them: "Uncle Chen, Aunt Chen, it’s okay, don’t be scared. Just take care of the child inside, and everything will be fine."

Uncle Chen spoke up: "Let Aunt Chen and the lady stay inside; I’ll go out with you."

Gu Wanqing spoke: "Brother Chen, I’m quite capable, nothing will happen to me. You stay here and take care of Sister Chen and the child."

Having said this much, he could only nod: "Make sure you stay safe."

Watching the two leave the courtyard, they quickly entered the room; one guarded Han Chaojun by the bed, the other listened at the door for sounds outside, ready to strike at any moment.

He Jinxuan was concerned about his mother-in-law’s health, considering she had just given birth, and any mishap would be unacceptable: "Auntie, stay in the living room. If anyone sneaks in, leave it to you, and I’ll handle those in the courtyard.

Gu Wanqing understood his intention and was mindful of her own condition: "Alright, be very careful."

As soon as He Jinxuan left the courtyard, he came face-to-face with several people climbing over the wall.
