Just after finishing making the meal, Yunyi also returned.
Smelling the aroma of the food, Yunyi smiled lightly as she walked into the kitchen: "What delicious dish did you make?"
Huo Jingrui was about to warm up the dishes on the stove; seeing her return, he stopped his actions: "You came back just in time, I was about to warm up the food."
Upon hearing this, Yunyi became alert: "What happened?"
Huo Jingrui leaned close to Yunyi and spoke in a voice only they could hear: "On the way back from the woods, I intended to go into the mountains to hunt some game to nourish you, but I accidentally stumbled upon Zhong Liyuan meeting someone in the woods."
He recounted the incident to Yunyi: "Wenyu should be back soon too; I'm planning to return to the county overnight. When we found Zhong Liyuan, the personnel arranged to surveil her were not seen.
I need to go back to the county to figure things out, and I suspect they're desperate enough to target Lun Huaijing."
